- →Push past the obvious. You already did the safe first date — try somewhere with a bit more character.
- →A shared experience beats another dinner. Cooking class, gallery opening, rooftop bar — something to reference later.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where should we go on Beaufort Street for a second date?
The Beaufort Hotel itself is the standout—it's got that established-venue credibility but the vibe is relaxed, not stuffy. Try their dining room upstairs or the bar if you want something quieter than the ground floor. Little Creatures Brewery and Press Lane are other solid bets on the strip if you want craft beer or wine with actual food that shows effort.
Is Mount Lawley easy to get to, and where should we park?
Beaufort Street has on-street parking along most of the strip—arrive before 6pm on a weeknight and you'll find spots easily. The train station is a 10-minute walk from Beaufort Street (head down Sixth Avenue), which is helpful if one of you is coming from the city. Parking after 7pm on weekends gets tighter, so aim for an early dinner booking.
Should we book ahead for a second date restaurant in Mount Lawley?
Yes—especially on Friday and Saturday nights. The Beaufort Hotel takes bookings and gets genuinely busy on weekends. Most of the neighbourhood restaurants on and around Beaufort Street (think William Street spots too) appreciate bookings for groups of two, partly because seating is intentionally cosy, not wide open. A Thursday or early Friday booking shows you actually planned this one.
