Following our Mother’s Day opening, we return to the original format — the version that defines Act One.
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.
Each service features a three-course set menu crafted especially for Act One — a relaxed, European-leaning selection of dishes shaped by the seasons.
This time, each course is individually plated with a choice available, allowing guests to tailor their experience while still enjoying the considered flow of the menu. Expect dishes that feel generous, flavourful and quietly refined — perfect for a night out at The Old Lyric.
Three-Course Set Menu — With Choice
Enjoy a fully individually plated entrée, main and dessert, with a selection of options for each course. A more traditional format, while still holding onto the warmth and ease of Act One.
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 meal.
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.
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.
