Our Story Tagline

Established since 2012, ANTE builds its reputation through its creative use of pork. ANTE embraces quite often overlooked high-quality meat cuts, underappreciated ingredients and the fusing of unique flavour spectrums from different cuisines from around the world – a porky dining experience that is like nowhere else.

Our principles include constantly challenging ourselves, to be better in every respect from quality, service and presentation year on year. Each dish is practiced to perfection before it can be featured in our menu. Coupled with our promise to bring you flavours from around the world, you should expect our menu to change every year.

So, come in. Gorge on our hefty Pork Shoulders and succulent Pork Ribeyes, gently sip on exquisite Bordeaux wine, celebrate a loved-one’s birthday or simply hop in for a quick, porcine lunch – we have the pork for any occasion.
