Time to treat you and the missus to a night off from all the monotony of living from weekend to weekend. Enter the relationship ‘date night’. Don’t even go into the debate around ‘Are you cooking tonight?’. Go straight past ‘No’ to the neighbourhood favourite and Potts Point locale,Café Sopra
Inside Fratelli Fresh on Macleay St, right above Woolies, Café Sopra is a fantastic café with better than your-average-café food. Sopra keeps it simple yet satisfying. It’s a no-nonsense, no-frills, simple Italian joint using fresh, daily ingredients sourced from Fratelli Fresh.
Walk in, ask for 2, command a carafe of wine, order off the chalkboard and she’ll be looking at you all doe-eyed like the early days when you were a few kgs lighter and she loved seeing your socks on the floor.
There’s an array of dishes like the amazing orrechiette with lamb ragu and the bistecca with anchovy butter to give you that restaurant savoir-faire whilst avoiding the ‘small servings on large plates’ where you’re left wishing for a post-meal Big Mac. Plus, the reasonably priced menu and wine list will have your wallet and heart singing.
