Date Ideas

Date ideas and inspiration

I enjoy good wine, food and sex each in the same way — often, in great quantities, down until the last drop leaves my lips.

I welcome shorter bookings too, but, for those who prefer something longer — here are some ideas of places I like to go, things I like to eat, and other adventures to be had outside the bedroom.

Eating

As dinner dates are my favourite, you’ll notice they are incentivised in my rate structure. I keep a vegan diet, but I am perfectly comfortable in the company of omnivorous diners - don’t let my personal preferences stand in the way of you opting for a steak.

Dining suggestions: Maha (CBD), Cecconi's Flinders Lane (CBD), NOMAD (CBD), Matteo’s (Fitzroy North), Lona Misa (South Yarra) — or introduce me to a restaurant of your choosing. I’m hoping to work my way through every hatted restaurant in Melbourne that has a couple of vegan friendly options on the menu!

Drinking

Summer is for dry rosé or champagne, and on winter nights I’ll opt for a pinot noir. For special occasions, order me a negroni - but I’m not liable for any trouble I get you in afterward.

Bar suggestions: — Eau De Vie (CBD), 1806 (CBD) — or recommend your favourite spot.

Other adventures

Escape Rooms

Both Adventure Rooms and Apsis VR have two-player options.

Board games

Marche Board Game Cafe has a fun selection, plus a tasty Taiwanese-inspired menu.

Netflix and Chill

Let’s stay in bed, get takeout delivered and watch a movie.

Live Music

I like Paris Cat Jazz Club, or blues at Beneath Driver Lane.

Video Games

Have you ever played strip Mario Kart? I’m always happy to bring my Switch on dates by request.

Theatre

I adore dates to musicals, comedy shows, ballet, or any other interesting events around Melbourne.

For those who like to come bearing gifts

Gifts are never expected but always appreciated. A few options guaranteed to impress:

  • My favourite flowers are peonies (like the ones in my tattoos), and dahlias (my cat’s namesake) - but anything pretty will put a smile on my face.

  • I have an insatiable sweet tooth - my twin weaknesses are fresh fruit and non-dairy dark chocolate.

  • Gift vouchers for spa packages and massages. Maybe we could even do a spa day together?

  • Diptyque or Boy Smells candles.

  • For those kind enough to spoil me with dresses or lingerie, see my wishlist for a selection that I think would look great on your bedroom floor.
