Dante

Best Known For

Seasoned lamb backstrap skewers with pita and tzatziki.

Greek-inspired food and delicious cocktails have Melburnians returning for fun and frivolity at new restaurant on the Northcote block, Dante on High Street. Pull up a suede stool at the bar and contemplate a cheeky Honey Ginger on Fire cocktail or settle into a cosy table setting with friends for an after-work catch-up and memorable meal. Grilled corn ribs, paprika, mayonnaise and lime entice to start, or perhaps Mediterranean octopus, with olive oil, vinegar, red onion, capsicums, chilli and crackers; before a main such as King prawns saganaki, cooked in Napoli sauce, garlic and feta. Tender lamb cutlets and lemon mustard sauce are sure to the mark, accompanied by sides of sautéed vegetables and chips; finish with lemon curd in a kataifi nest, topped with Swiss meringue and berries.
