Strangers Corridor

  • Restaurant
  • Fine dining

Strangers Corridor offers sophisticated dining in the grand surroundings of Parliament House. Dark timber and contemporary artwork set the scene for an indulgent lunch or high tea.

The lunch menu changes with the seasons, to showcase the richness and diversity of Victorian produce. The restaurant also serves afternoon tea with scones, jam and cream, and pastries and finger sandwiches on tiered stands.

Take a free guided tour of Parliament House while you're there and learn about the history of the building and the parliamentary process.

Operates on non-Parliamentary sitting days only.
