We decided to take the quick and easy option and get a coffee and a snack at the Foyer Café, which is a queue-and-order-at-the-counter venue. I ordered a 'tasting plate' for $15, which advertised pate, pickled cherries and pita bread. The pate came in a tiny pot (I could just about circle it with my thumb and forefinger) topped with three transparent slivers of something - definitely not pickled cherries - and, I will admit, a generous service of toasted pita wedges (way too many for the amount of pate provided!). $15 worth? I don't think so! The coffee was good, but there were no spoons provided, so I had to use a straw from the self-service area. The venue is pretty basic and lacking any ambience and although it wasn't a busy time, the staff seemed hassled and not very friendly. Other food coming out to other diners looked and smelled good, but I can't comment on the prices - I assume they would have been more than the tasting plate I had, and the serves looked about entrée-sized. Personally, unless you're in a real hurry, I would recommend walking on a bit further to North Terrace and going to one of the numerous cafes there. After the show, when you may want to stop to discuss the performance and have a coffee and a piece of cake without going searching for something open - the Foyer Café is inevitably closed! (The drinks at the Piano Bar are also expensive - the cheapest glass of wine available being $8 a glass)

I believe the price was too high for the portion size. You can find a larger breakfast for half the cost elsewhere. read more I believe the price was too high for the portion size. You can find a larger breakfast for half the cost elsewhere.
