ANTE

Incredible experience and so delightful. A great place to learn about sake and if you get Rebecca (Bec) to serve you, consider yourself very fortunate and lucky. She is so knowledgeable and paired us with our own type of sakes for the flight and it made it very memorable. The food was delicious and went beautifully with our drinks. The ambiance was awesome with music just right volume to encourage conversation and it was LPs (need I say more). Will be coming back for more!

Highly recommended for anyone who likes Sakes. They use A.P Bakery Bread. Mochi and pasta is my favourite food. Delicious, they provide hundreds of sakes by the glass . Also Nebishima collection. Sake flyers are great choices.

Amazing experience at ANTE, the food, the service, the drinks, and the subtle music while dining. 10/10 experience! Would recommend the shiitake tagliatelle. If you’re into it, you can also ask for a sake tasting and they’ll select 3 different types of sake for you to try.

The food was amazing. I highly recommend the place. Very nice atmosphere as well. The desert was spectacular, the texture, sweetness 100/100! Already want to come back.

One of my favourite discoveries for 2025! Ante is walk-in only, expect 1hr wait on the weekends. I really like this sake bar, it’s super duper ambient inside, good vibes and delicious top notch dishes. Really recommend the mushroom pasta which was perfect, the mushrooms were so soft, yet juicy and the pastas are definitely cooked al dente. The yuzu non alcoholic drink is super addicting, a popular choice despite it being a sake bar. All the dishes are definitely flavourful and more poignant for a fusion sort of restaurant. The miso flan was a strong finisher so if you’re already full, I’d go for a more fruity option.

Bit late writing this review but I went there not too long ago. Service was top notch. Food amazing and do me they best bar/restaurant vibe in Sydney.

Food was good, service was better. Staff was very attentive. Went at lunch on a Sunday, right as they opened so we got a table right away. Didn't get packed until closer to 1/1:30pm? We didn't feel like we were being rushed out. Sad we didn't get to try the desserts. Serving for the mushroom pasta's a bit small for the price but the dish itself was good and balanced. The rest of the dishes were pretty decent portions. Potato mochi was just okay (without the seaweed it's just plain mochi). Pork neck was orety good and tender. The jerusalem artichoke entree was my favourite.

My new favourite place in Sydney! First off, there are not many places that serves food between the hours of post lunch (after 2pm) and before dinner (5pm), Ante is an exception (at least on weekends). Great place to listen to some tunes, have a cheeky drink (or more) and nibble some snacks or if you wish, something more substantial. 10/10 love this new addition to King Street in Newtown.
