Date Night at The D's Cafe
A date does not need a two-hour drive into town. Most of the time it needs somewhere close, not too loud, that stays open long enough that you are not watching the clock — and food good enough that neither of you is quietly disappointed.
What a good order for two looks like
Start with something to share — the Mushroom 3 Cheese Toast with Truffle Oil, or Nachos with Avocado Sauce if you want something lighter.
Then one pasta and one pizza between you rather than two mains each. Pink Sauce Pasta with a Paneer Tikka Pizza is the combination we see most often, and it is the right amount of food.
Finish with the Sizzling Brownie with Ice Cream. It arrives making noise, which is half the point.
Friday is date night
One of our seven rotating daily deals is a Friday date-night deal. Check today's deal before you come.
Coffee, not dinner
Plenty of people come in for exactly one cold coffee and stay an hour. That is a legitimate use of the place — see the drinks menu.
What to order
Pink Sauce Pasta
The perfect middle ground between tomato tang and creamy indulgence. Penne tossed in our luscious pink sauce with cheese and herbs. Rich enough to satisfy, balanced enough to order again.
Sizzling Brownie with Ice Cream
The dessert that arrives with a show! A warm, fudgy chocolate brownie served sizzling hot with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and rich chocolate sauce. Indulgent, theatrical and impossible to resist.
Mac & Cheese Pasta
This isn't just pasta. It's a cheese experience. Elbow macaroni baked in a rich cheddar cheese sauce until gloriously creamy and comforting. The ultimate choice when your craving says CHEESE!
Alfredo Pasta
Silky, creamy and unapologetically indulgent. Penne coated in a luxurious Alfredo sauce made with garlic, cream and parmesan. Every forkful is smooth, rich and comforting.
Chocolate Ice Cream
Rich, creamy and classic. A generous scoop of smooth chocolate ice cream. Simple, indulgent and always the right choice.
Vanilla Ice Cream
Creamy, classic and endlessly comforting. A generous scoop of smooth vanilla ice cream. Simple perfection, one scoop at a time.
Pesto Pasta
Fresh basil. Parmesan. Garlic. Pure Italian-inspired comfort. Penne tossed in fragrant basil pesto, olive oil, garlic and parmesan for a beautifully aromatic bowl that's fresh, rich and addictive.
Butter Scotch
Sweet, nutty and irresistibly rich. Butterscotch-flavoured ice cream finished with caramelised nuts. Creamy, crunchy and the perfect way to end your meal.
