There are numerous options close to Southbank Theatre and Arts Centre Melbourne to enjoy pre or post-theatre dining.
New restaurant arriving at Southbank Theatre
We are delighted to be welcoming a brand new restaurant and bar to Southbank Theatre in mid 2022. Work is underway on this exciting addition to the Melbourne Arts Precinct and we look forward to sharing more information and the opening date with you soon.
During the season of The Heartbreak Choir there is no restaurant or hot food offering on site. Our Foyer Bars stock a range of pre-packaged foods and snacks including sandwiches, fruitcake, chips and nuts, Magnums, plus a curated selection of handcrafted artisan chocolates. For something more substantial, our gourmet grazing boxes are a quick and delicious pre-show option. Choose from Charcuterie, Antipasti & Dips, Farmhouse Cheeses, and Beetroot Cured Salmon Gravlax on dark rye. Click here for more details.
Indoor and outdoor seating options can be found in the foyers and forecourt. Food, ice-creams and hot beverages are not permitted inside the auditorium and must be consumed prior to the performance. Cold drinks are permitted.
