This is my local coffee spot on the week days -generally coffee is good, nice and strong. Also, it’s a good spot for one-to-one meetings with your boss:)
Their ham and cheese croissants are very filling and flavoursome and recently I tried Caesar salad with chicken. The portion was big, filling but I thought there a little too many anchovies that overpowered the flavour of the salad. Will be back to try more food off the lunch menu.
Quality! It Shouldnt Be That Hard! Love A Wonderful Mouth Full Of Wholesome FOOD!

It was about lunch time when I walked through the doors of this cafe, I was really feeling like breakfast menu :-( when I walked in I was great by a girl and sat down at the table. A young polite gentleman came over and said did she explain what the specials where I said. No... then I just asked him if they where doing breakfast he said no. :-( so I asked if there was a salmon bagel left he said we have one. I had it was nothing special there was not enough flavour more dill and more cheese would of been nice. The iced coffee was really strong just what I needed. I will go back to try the proper breakfast or lunch menu.
I went to Citizen in a event by Zomato, so the experience is probably not the same I'd have in a regular day.
But the food they were serving was the same in the menu, and I'd say most of it was quite good: the bread, the shrimp, the salad, the ribs and the squid.
The only two things that weren't very good were the curry and the cheesecake.

I love Q Theatre!! And was stoked when I was invited to Citizen Q for a Zomato foodie meet up! All profits from the restaurant and bar are used to support the budding community of musicians, start up filmmakers and performing artists.
On our visit we were treated to a tasting platter of chicken wings, lamb cutlets, salad, mushroom arancini, prawn twisters and a pesto cob loaf. My favourite part of the platter would have been the succulent rare lamb cutlets and arancini risotto. The cob loaf maybe was a bit dry for my liking - I would have loved more pesto spread all over the insides rather than just a dollop in the centre as the loaf was very large. Maybe the salad could have used more dressing or balsamic vinegar over the tomatoes and leaves but I'm also not much of a salad person.
Our chef kindly treated us to three desserts: warm sticky date pudding with icecream, chocolate mousse, and cheesecake cups. The cheesecake and mousse were very rich (probably best to share these between 2) but the sticky date totally hit the spot. I would totally recommend this, even if you don't like dates.
Overall great experience and I look forward to stopping for dinner before the next concert at Q.
$10 lunch special on a Friday. Delicious steak, polenta and broccoli. The polenta was absolutely delicious, could have had a tub of this to take home with me. Steak was cooked well and cut nicely. Just can't beat this for the special of the week. Meals were served quickly, and all staff are very friendly.
Love to come to shows here and little did I know that there was also great food. The sharing platter is a good option but there are limited vegetarian options, if you're vege would be best to order off the main menu. The chocolate mousse kills, don't know if it's on the menu but might pop up as a special. I could eat litres of it. Krishna the head chef is doing a fine job!
Dined here the other night as part of a Zomato event, enjoyed some great food and some great theatre!
We enjoyed Q Nibble Board, the calamari was made to perfection 😍 accompanied with some great lemon sauce and another sauce, hands down best portion on the Q Nibble Board. The mushroom arancini was interesting, laid well with the curry paste underneath. Chicken wings were good, and the lamb cutlets were nicely seasoned.
The sticky date pudding was good, went well with everything on the dish, wasn't the biggest fan of the cheesecake as I'm not a cheesecake person, but the chocolate mousse was delicious!
Overall, I did enjoy my experience here at the Citizen Q, friendly and attentive staff despite such a busy night. Great theatre show and it's fabulous to know the proceeds go toward the perform.
It's great to have a theatre-run restaurant knowing that all proceeds go towards the Arts.
The ambience is great, although some of the spotlights were too bright for me in some areas. But the food made up for it.
We got a sharing platter that had some amazing flavours (Indian inspired roast lamb racks and chicken), prawn twisters and unique bread with pesto and to balance it a healthy side salad.
Dessert however was on a whole different level. Chocolate mousse with choc biscotti was delicious! Also tried a passionfruit cheesecake which I thought was average but my my... you must try the sticky date pudding. The show can wait, while I finish up this plate of deliciousness!!!

I was kindly invited by Zomato to Citizen-Q on Friday night for a Foodie meetup. The vibe was really nice! It was busy and bustling and the atmosphere was very lively.
We were introduced to the main team behind the management of the Q-Theatre, along with a backstage tour coupled with tickets to watch the Elephant Thief. I really enjoyed this along with getting to know more of the foodie community!
We had drinks to start the evening off and then got to try a range of different dishes on their nibble boards. The prawn twisters when paired with the aioli was so yum!! I love my calamari so this hit it off for me too. Ive never tried pesto on bread before but I surprisingly loved the two together and everything was served in cute portions with plenty of generous servings enough to fill up everyone. They bought more rounds and kept checking up on us throughout the night.
The head chef later introduced himself to us and ran us through the dessert menu which was a whole other ball game. They were presented so well and looked incredible! The cheesecake was a little plain for me but the sticky date pudding was delicious. It was warm and light. But what really hit it home was the chocolate mousse. It was soo creamy and rich and served with crispy biscotti = Happiness in a dish!!!
Whats also great about Citizen Q is that 100% of the profit made, goes towards the work done on the stages in the theatre. I'd recommend dropping by here for pre/post drinks & nibbles if youre watching any of the shows or if you happen to be wandering through this part of Queen Street. Thank you again for a wonderful night!!

I was lucky enough to be apart of the Zomato meet up here last night at the Q Theatre. We were treated to a special backstage tour, drinks, dinner and tickets to The Elephant thief, which overall was a very enjoyable night! Love the vibe and atmosphere about this place.
The service was great! The staff were very efficient throughout the night and made our dining experience run as smoothly as possible. Our waiters kept us informed on when the food would arrive and how long till the show started.
The group of us were served with a selection of nibbles - all well presented on rustic wooden boards. There was definitely enough food to get round and we were all left satisfied and full. The Q nibbles board had a good selection and consisted of Harissa chicken wings, lemon pepper calamari, mushroom arancini, tandoori lamb cutlets, prawn twisters, bread and salad. My favourite element for the night was definitely the calamari - thick, tender and well seasoned. I also enjoyed the mushroom arancini, which was served in a pool of rich tomato based sauce.
The head chef was very accommodating and made several visits to our table to ensure we were all happy with our meals and if we had any feedback for him. It was nice to meet and speak briefly with chef Krishna Kandasamy, as not often do the chefs step out of the kitchen. He even surprised us with a selection of desserts – Sticky date pudding, Cheesecake and Chocolate mousse. I found the cheesecake a little too big and sweet to finish on my own, but would be perfect to share between two. The Sticky date was delicious, served hot with gooey sauce and melting ice-cream. The Chocolate mousse would be the best option if your already quite full after the main meal as it is light and not too rich in flavour.
If you are after great service, food and drinks I would definitely recommend visiting here before heading to a show at the Q Theatre! Would be worth booking though as this place fills up fast. Thanks again for a great night guys.
Fabulous dinner :) We came for a meal before a show at the Q theatre, and enjoyed the best burgers in town! Great presentation, flavour and price, thanks so much!
There was no food service (lack of staff) but I did enjoy a glass of wine and very helpful, kind bar service.
Excellent service, fun, friendly, queer vibe, love it! Food is good too!
I love this place first time I are here... Indeed a great surprise..
Fantastic experience. Awesome venue
Fun atmosphere, friendly team.
The prawns with chorizo are amazing! 👌🏻
