If you’re looking for cozy date night ideas, I highly rate Ante in Newtown with a constantly changing menu and over 60 different types of sake.

The fried potato mochi with everything bagel sprinkles is a textural delight.

The roasted Jerusalem artichoke is beautifully tender and I loved the crunch of the walnuts with the finely shaved Comte.

The tagliatelle with fermented shiitake mushrooms is saucy and rich and hits all the umami checkboxes and the casarecce has a beautiful deep prawn flavour with a smack of heat from the kanzuri fermented chilli.

We ordered both of the desserts, the mandarin granita is incredibly refreshing and the warm sticky date pudding is drenched in a mirin caramel with a lovely yoghurt sorbet.
