On Monday dig into a seafood parmigiana and a corona at the South Bank Surf Club for just $20, or for a deal that’ll have your date in a flap go for the 2-for-1 wings at Hop & Pickle. Consider yourself a film buff? Plan your date with Mister Paganini and get 20% off your pizza if you show your movie ticket on Tuesdays, or eat your way through all you can eat tacos at Mucho Mexicano for $25. Don’t listen to the haters, getting covered in BBQ sauce is totally acceptable on a date and Tippler’s Tap couldn’t agree more, so they’ve got their smoky BBQ ribs with potato and slaw for just $20 every Wednesday. There you have it folks, put down last week’s Chinese takeaway and stop rummaging for that ancient frozen meal – you’ve got no excuse not to treat yourself this week. Words by Emma CallaghanÂ
