Diners’ Choice Awards are based on where your fellow diners book, dine, and review. Only verified diners get to review restaurants on OpenTable, so our data doesn’t lie.

Experience opulent dining and indulge in authentic modern Italian, redefined from humble recipes passed down through generations.
Drawing upon influences from beloved regions throughout Italy, Como embodies the laid-back yet refined essence of Lake Como, to deliver you an elevated fine dining destination with exceptional menu offerings. Paying homage to our heritage and honouring quality, seasonal produce, Como is for gathering, with our personal touch for those who love a little party.
Do as the Italians do – meet with friends and share a meal, unwind with an aperitivo and antipasti at the bar, or settle in for the night. Whatever the occasion, immerse in Como’s refined atmosphere.

With a contemporary, modern Australian menu highlighting the finest locally sourced ingredients and complemented by impeccable service, the Lyrebird is the perfect place to start your evening at QPAC. Delve into a special menu highlight showcasing the rich flavours of Italy with a selection of signature pasta dishes, curated by our Michelin-trained head chef, Salvatore Rizzato, from Rome, Italy. This unique collaboration skillfully blends tastes from his homeland with a Queensland inspired twist, expertly prepared by our passionate chefs at Lyrebird under his guidance.
For matinee goers, you can enjoy a delicious touch of elegance with a handcrafted Lyrebird High Tea, before your show. $25 per person or $30 per person including a glass of bubbles. Available only for select matinee shows.
The quintessential QPAC experience begins at the Lyrebird.

The origins of South Bank’s newest Asian dining experience are steeped rich in history, honouring traditions in Chinese and South East Asian cuisines. Our restaurant is proudly named after the owner’s ancestral great, great grandmother who was, as the title refers to, Tai Tai.
Our location in the heart of South Bank makes Tai Tai one of Brisbane’s most popular restaurants to dine at before a film, show at QPAC or conference at Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre. We welcome and encourage walk-ins, however limited number of tables are available to book in advance.

Lovely decor, nice and quiet for business lunches, staff always friendly and very professional. The food is outstanding and the menu and wine list selection is very good. Been there several times and it's always consistent.

We went there to celebrate our friend's birthday around 7 pm. The staff were super nice and friendly. I'm a vegetarian, and they tried to fulfil my requirements as I wanted the rice bowl without salmon. The food was so good; we loved the tacos so much. The turmeric and coconut rice was the best! We will definitely come back!
