Date Night in Beaumaris (2026)

Beaumaris has 29 restaurants and 21 bars — more than enough for months of date nights.

Restaurants for Date Night

#1 Aashirwad Tandoori Indian & Nepalese — 1-5 North Concourse

Indian

What makes it great: Aashirwad Tandoori Indian & Nepalese opened quietly and got loud fast. The biryani is the benchmark dish. If a restaurant nails the biryani — the rice, the protein, the seal, the aromatic lift — it can cook anything. The kind of place you recommend without being asked.

Hours: Tu-Su 17:00-22:00 | Phone: +61 3 9589 3656 | Website: Aashirwad Tandoori Indian & Nepalese

#1 La Cucina — 8-10 North Concourse, Beaumaris

Italian

What makes it great: The menu at La Cucina is shorter than most. That is not a weakness. The espresso at the end of the meal is not an afterthought here. Neither is the bread. Worth crossing Beaumaris for. Worth crossing Melbourne for, honestly.

#1 Oshima — 468-469 Beach Road, Beaumaris

Japanese

What makes it great: Oshima is what happens when a kitchen stops trying to impress and starts trying to be good. The rice is the tell. Most places get the fish right but serve it on forgettable rice. Here, the rice matters. The menu changes. The quality does not.

#1 Sing Tao

the food | ★ 4.2/5 (101 reviews) | $$

What makes it great: Sing Tao earns its crowd the honest way — through the food. This is the kind of place that a neighbourhood builds around. Not a destination — a reason to stay local. A restaurant that respects the ingredients, respects your time, and respects your wallet.

Rated 4.2 by 101 locals on Google — and the ones who come back do not bother leaving reviews.

What locals say: “Such an amazing restaurant being in the same family since the 1970s .We visited this evening and as always found the family staff to be so friendly and happy. The food was excellen…”

Mid-range pricing that reflects fair value for what comes out of the kitchen.

#1 Ken Japanese — 42-42A East Concourse

Japanese

What makes it great: Ken Japanese has been doing this since before Beaumaris got its reputation. The rice is the tell. Most places get the fish right but serve it on forgettable rice. Here, the rice matters. It does not try to be everything. It tries to be good at one thing. It succeeds.

#1 State of Grace — 27 King St, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia

the food | ★ 4.6/5 (3,063 reviews) | $$$

What makes it great: Restaurant and cellar bar with kitsch decor including a mounted giraffe, for Modern European food. Worth crossing Beaumaris for. Worth crossing Melbourne for, honestly.

A 4.6 rating from 3,063 reviews does not happen by accident in Beaumaris.

Not cheap, but the quality justifies the spend. This is a deliberate night out.
