Spring is here, the weather's heating up and it's time to get out and about—and, of course, turn up the dial on the romance in your life. Our new Urban Feast card is here to help.
If you're after a date night to remember, whether it's your first date or the 100th, Sydney's got a few spots with ample romance to get you sorted. And if you're strapped for cash after your European break, or just saving dollars for festival season—don't worry, we've got you. With Urban Feast, you'll get $25 off your meal when you spend $75 at any one of the (very romantic) restaurants we've listed below. It's a great way to try somewhere new and impress your date.
So, here we go. Here are eight epic date night spots, where you can dine for just $50. You're welcome.
Capriccio Osteria & Bar
Leichhardt, NSW
Nothing says romance quite like pasta. This low-key neighbourhood Italian spot is one of the only spots in Sydney plating up medieval-style corzetti pasta too—a stamped, flat pasta you need to try.
Long Chim Sydney
Sydney , NSW
Long Chim is a contender for being Sydney's spiciest restaurant, so make sure your date can handle the heat. If they can, they'll be in for some of the hands-down best Thai in Sydney, care of its owner, Michelin-starred chef David Thompson.
Hello Auntie
Haymarket, NSW
If you're really keen to impress with something out of the box, try the secret menu at Hello Auntie Darling Square. It changes regularly, and can only be viewed with UV light.
12-Micron
Barangaroo, NSW
Skip dinner and head straight for dessert. 12-Micron's famous dessert degustation comes with a beautifully designed restaurant space and dessert bar, and views across Darling Harbour. Pro-tip: book for sunset time to up the ante on the romance.
Scout Sydney
Surry Hills,
Led by Matt Whiley (The Talented Mr Fox, European Mixologist of the Year, and the brains behind Scout London), Scout Sydney is a cocktail experience like no other. If you're keen to see where the creative side of the cocktail world is heading, Scout is for you.
Hartsyard
Newtown, NSW
Led by partners in business and in life Jarrod Walsh and Dorothy Lee, there's a lot of love happening at Hartsyard. The pair bring an epic wealth of experience to the table, including time at Automata, Saga and Momofuku Seiobo.
Misfits
Redfern, NSW
Hidden above Redfern Street in a former pub, you'll fall in love with the retro fit-out, secret rooms and hearty menu at Mad Men-style Misfits.
Bartolo
Surry Hills, NSW
Bartolo is one of our top picks for date night in Sydney. Dream of your Italian holiday together as you lap up rare Italian wines, fresh burrata and house made ragu.
As we said, the best part about all of this is that the Urban Feast card will get you $25 off at all these venues.
