Just a 2-minute walk from QPAC, Poppies on Little Stanley Street is the ideal spot for a pre-show dinner.

‍

Poppies offers a proper sit-down experience without the stress of timing. The evening menu is exactly what you want before a show. Start with the sourdough and trio of dips, featuring butternut pumpkin hummus, chive and onion cream cheese, and dill yoghurt, or go for the pulled pork bao buns for something a little more substantial to share.

‍

For mains, the snow crab linguine and white beef ragù linguine are both show-night favourites, while the crispy skin barramundi with cauliflower purée and apple fennel slaw is the kind of dish that makes the whole evening feel considered. The cocktail bar covers all the classics alongside house signatures, so arriving early is well worth it.

‍

Simply mention your show time when booking and the kitchen will pace your courses so you can enjoy every bite without watching the clock. No rushing, no stress.
