Act One — Sunday 10th May (Mother's Day)

$95.00

Act One Returns

This time, we open on Mother’s Day — a one-off service designed to mark the occasion with something a little more considered, a little more memorable.

Step inside the character-filled walls of The Old Lyric and into an intimate dining experience where thoughtful cooking, warm hospitality and a touch of theatre come together — the kind that feels like the opening scene of something special.

For this installment, the format shifts.
A three-course set menu, served as one curated experience. No choices — just a sequence of dishes designed to be enjoyed exactly as intended.

European-leaning, seasonal and generous, this is Act One at its most refined — while still holding onto the warmth and ease that defines it.

What You Need to Know

  • Three-Course Set Menu — A Curated Experience
    For Mother’s Day, the menu is offered as a complete three-course journey. Each dish is designed to flow into the next, creating a seamless dining experience that allows you to simply settle in and enjoy the moment.

  • BYO Welcome — Bring the Good Bottles
    Act One is the perfect excuse to dig into your cellar. Bring along that special bottle you’ve been saving — corkage is included, and we encourage guests to make the most of this BYO-only experience.

  • Unlicensed Pop-Up
    Alcohol cannot be purchased on the night, so please BYO if you’d like to enjoy a drink with your me

Dietary Requirements

We can accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and simple requests such as nut-free with prior notice. Because Act One is a very small, one-night-only style service, we aren’t able to provide multiple-layered dietary adjustments for a single guest. Thanks for understanding.

Booking Information

With extremely limited seating, we encourage guests to book early. To help us seat your group together, please make your full table reservation in one booking, as separate bookings may not be able to be combined.
