Overview
Sydney has no shortage of interesting date options year-round but, thanks to Sydney Good Food Month presented by Citi, October is going to be a particularly good month for lovers. The annual fiesta is returning once again with an agenda jam-packed with foodie events ranging from the super casual Night Noodle Markets to intimate dinners prepared by the country's best chefs. And sitting somewhere in the middle is Date Night.
Happening on Friday, October 5 in the festival hub Hyde Park Palms, Date Night takes on the tried-and-tested formula: dinner and a movie. Whether this is a first date or you've been with your person for a few trips around the sun, this festival favourite has all the ingredients for a casual yet romantic night out.
Let's break it down. The dinner portion of the evening will be provided by Ume Burger. You'll have your choice of one of its Japanese-inspired burgs — think chicken katsu with yuzu kosho mayo or the classic Ume burger with wagyu mince sauce. The meal is rounded out with wine, James Squire beers and gelato from Enmore favourite Cow & the Moon.
Part two is, of course, the film. Because Sydney Good Food Month is celebrating its 20th birthday, its keeping things old school and screening 90s teen hit 10 Things I Hate About You.
A balmy spring evening spent cosying up with delicious food and a cult classic film — if that doesn't impress your date, we're not sure what will. And because we have a (completely normal level of) vested interest in your love life, we're giving you the opportunity to win tickets for you and your boo. Riding solo? No problem. Make it a platonic mate date and swoon over Heath Ledger's dreamy smile or a brooding Julia Stiles together.
