Restaurants for a romantic date
1. Griglia Open Fire Italian Restaurant
Charcoal-grilled delicacies, craft cocktails and warm Italian hospitality… Ah, a date night at Griglia Open Fire Italian Kitchen sounds like the perfect way to wrap up the year with your beau. This restaurant puts a sophisticated spin on traditional Italian grigliata (aka summertime outdoor grill), offering a cosy space to savour succulent meats and fresh catches. Think half Spanish turbot, 200-day grain-fed porterhouse, and Hokkaido scallops.
In the spirit of ushering in new beginnings, indulge in the restaurant’s latest creations at its East Coast location. Meat lovers will adore the beef tartare with parmesan fondue and truffle, and homemade beef cheek ragout lasagna; while seafood picks include baby cuttlefish, octopus served with roasted tomatoes and almond pesto, and shell pasta with Sicilian prawn tartare and Calabrese chilli. For plant-friendly alternatives, go for the spaghetti with Datterini tomatoes, and roasted pumpkin rocket salad drizzled with truffle dressing.
