An unforgettable dining experience! The setting inside the Opera House is simply breathtaking, and the food matches the spectacular surroundings. We used our Super Pass for the 15% discount, which made the experience even better. The pavlova was a work of art - don't miss it!

World-class dining in an iconic location. We had a pre-theater dinner and were blown away by both the food and the service. Every dish was beautifully presented and delicious. The Super Pass discount was a welcome bonus for such a premium dining experience. Highly recommend the roasted John Dory.
