Lock In These Chapel Street Winter Warmer Deals To Level Up Your Next Date

Between busy schedules, early sunsets and the almighty urge to stay rugged up on the couch, planning a date night can easily slip to the bottom of the to-do list during the colder months. 

So before another night disappears into Uber Eats and doom scrolling, here’s a stack of winter warmer deals, currently on offer all around Chapel Street, to help get you in the mood. Whether you’re looking to try something new with someone new, connect over great food or simply spend a few hours away from the everyday routine with your main squeeze, these spots have you covered.

Cosy up With A Mulled Wine Or Cocktail

Grabbing a drink on a date? Groundbreaking suggestion by us, we know—but if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right? Lucky for you, three Chapel Street venues are offering hard-to-resist winter deals to help narrow down your venue selection. If a mid-week or Sunday afternoon date is your style, Windsor Wine Room has a delicious mulled wine on offer which you and your date can enjoy over a few share plates to get the evening started. Think baked scallops with beurre blanc and whipped ricotta with spiced honey.  

Sticking to the theme of winter and wine, INES Wine Bar just up the road is also slinging $10 mulled wines from Tuesday to Thursday—plus Sundays—all winter. Pro tip to help level up your date planning: Steak night is on Wednesdays.

If cocktails are more your style, simply climb the stairs to INES’ cosy counterpart—Sistine on Chapel. This moody and seductive spot is already perfectly suited for a date night, but to sweeten the deal, they’re offering their Novella cocktail for you winter lovebirds. Sweet and indulgent, with a little kick, the Novella is the perfect mix of salted caramel, toasted pear and zesty lime. Available from Tuesday to Thursday night during winter. 

The best part? All three of these venues are within 5 minutes walking distance, so if the date is going well, it might be time to hit the trifecta.

Snag A Bargain At The Prahran Market

We’ve said it once, we’ve said it a thousand times—the Prahran Market is goated. So too is a home-cooked meal. Whether you’re cooking for a new love interest, an old flame or otherwise, nothing says love like whipping up a dish from the heart. So if you’re looking to impress with those culinary skills of yours, Southside Fruit & Veg has your back this winter. For the entire month of June, they’re offering 10% off storewide, giving you the perfect excuse to stock up on primo produce before heading home to cook up a storm. Think a cosy pasta dish paired with a glass of red, or an epic roast with all the trimmings—the world (Prahran Market) is your oyster.

Indulge In A Sweet Treat

So you’ve done the whole home-cooked thing, but you need a sweet treat to round it out, we get it. Chapel Street isn't exactly short on dessert options, but the $10 white chocolate dumplings from David's are pretty hard to go past. The iconic Chinese restaurant is serving up its signature chewy, coconutty dumplings with a molten white chocolate centre for just $10 throughout winter, available from 6pm until late. 

Or you could drop into another Chapel Street icon, Borsch, Vodka & Tears, for their dessert pierogi filled with cottage cheese and chocolate chips, served with ice cream, strawberries and blueberries. While you're there, a nightcap feels less like an option and more like just the right thing to do.

Kick Back And Relax At White Oaks Saloon

If you'd prefer to leave the high-stakes business of cooking for a date to the professionals, let White Oaks Saloon take the wheel. The team are serving up two Carolina pork sliders for just $10 during winter, making for a pretty solid excuse to venture out on a chilly evening.

Packed with tender, Southern-inspired pork and plenty of flavour, they're the perfect snack to kickstart date night, especially when paired with your drink of choice. It's low commitment, high reward—ideal if you're squeezing in a midweek catch-up.

And once you've polished those off, there's plenty of reason to stick around. The menu is stacked with Southern BBQ favourites: think loaded tacos, juicy burgers and hot, crunchy Cajun-spiced fries. Casual, cosy and straight up guaranteed to be less stressful than wondering whether you've under- or overcooked that roast at home.  

Work Up A Sweat

There’s nothing much in this world that screams bold more than suggesting a gym sesh for a date. So go on, be bold. J.I.M (Joy In Movement) in Prahran is turning up the heat with their offer of 7 days of unlimited infrared workout classes for just $10. Not only is this the perfect excuse to try something new, but it also means you can have a couple of practice runs before your date joins, so you look extra smooth in the studio. Valid for new clients only, T&Cs apply.

Start The Day Scandi Style

If you’re more about lattes and less about lunges, listen up. OPPEN in Windsor is dishing up its signature breakfast oat porridge for just $10 with the purchase of any drink, and frankly, it's worth getting out of bed for. Creamy oats topped with indulgent salted caramel, crunchy apple crumble and fresh seasonal fruit. This is comfort food disguised as breakfast, and we’re not complaining. To score the deal, simply mention "Chapel Precinct" when ordering, and you're good to go.

OPPEN’s beautiful Scandinavian-inspired space is the perfect spot for a breakfast date before work, and an ideal way to make a weekday morning feel a little more special.
