Why diners choose us

Proper dining, not counter service

Sage Yellowfin is the closest full-service restaurant to QPAC Brisbane — 160 metres from the main entrance on Little Stanley Street, with pre-show dining timed specifically to your curtain call and a kitchen that has been running this service since 2013.

QPAC has its own cafes — casual counter service, limited menus, the same people who work the interval bar. They're fine for a quick bite.

Sage Yellowfin is 2 minutes further down the street. Full table service. Fresh Queensland seafood — including our signature seafood platter Brisbane. A kitchen that has been running since 2013. Your server knows your show time and works around it — ideal for pre-show dining near QPAC.

The difference is the kind of thing you notice mid-show — relaxed, not rushed. Full, not half-hungry. The right wine still on your mind at interval.
