Teriyaki Tofu, $25 | Ebisu

Vegetarian or not, we’re sure you’ll love Ebisu’s Teriyaki Tofu just as much as we do. The cubes of tofu are marinated in a beautiful teriyaki sauce, served on a layer of black miso jam and accompanied by thin slices of courgettes and carrots, halved cherry tomatoes and white truffle oil.

Free Range Pork Belly Roast, $39 | Ostro

Nothing says winter quite like a Sunday roast. Every Sunday, Ostro puts on the most beautiful roast that is well worth trying for yourselves. Our go-to is the Free Range Pork Belly roast, cooked to utter perfection with mouthwatering crackling. It’s served with all the trimmings; apple sauce, pickled apples, a Yorkshire pudding, roast vegetables, seasonal greens and condiments. To accompany your meal try one of their Bloody Mary’s. No worries if you can’t make it to Ostro on a Sunday – you can’t go wrong with their lobster ravioli.

Quince Braised Pork Shoulder Quesadillas, $17 | Mexico

Mexico is well known for their tasty and affordable sharing dishes, but one that stands out this winter is the quince braised pork shoulder quesadillas. Rich juicy meat, blackened corn and melting cheese between two tortillas - what more could you want? Perhaps a warming, fruity Mexico sangria.

Slow Roasted Lamb Shoulder, $80 | Amano

Gather a group of friends together to taste this warming sharing dish that will make you forget it’s cold outside! The juicy slow roasted lamb shoulder from Amano comes with yoghurt and a fresh mint relish which is to be combined inside a piadina (a gorgeous Italian flatbread). It’s unique flavours, warming and juicy meat makes this delightful dish utterly moreish.  

Roast Duck Stir Fry, $32 | Cafe Hanoi

If you’re a lover of Vietnamese food but haven't made it to Cafe Hanoi for a while, or ever - now is the time. Cafe Hanoi has an abundance of amazing sharing dishes, but their Roast Duck Stir-Fry can’t be missed. The tender roast duck is stir-fried with broccoli, purple carrots and mixed in with a honey soy sauce. To top it off, it’s garnished with crispy rice cake, Thai basil and sesame seeds. Simply delicious!
