About the Best Restaurants card

Best Restaurants is a dining gift card for Australia and New Zealand. It isn't tied to a single venue — it's a certificate accepted across a network of participating restaurants, cafés and bars, from everyday spots to places you would book for an occasion. The recipient chooses the cuisine and the city from the current partner list, which makes the card a sensible choice when you don't know someone's tastes in detail. The card is used to settle a bill at the table: as a rule it counts towards the total in full or in part, and guests cover any difference in the usual way. The line-up of participating venues changes over time — restaurants join the programme and leave it — so it is worth checking that your chosen venue is currently listed before you book. Cards are issued in Australian and New Zealand dollars; the currency of the denomination determines the country where the card is accepted.

How to redeem the card

1. Open the current list of participating venues and choose a restaurant in the city you need.
2. Book a table in advance and mention that you will be paying with the programme's gift card.
3. At the restaurant, present the card when settling up — before the bill is closed by another method.
4. If the bill comes to more than the card's value, cover the difference in cash or by bank card.
5. Ask the staff whether any unused balance is retained and how to apply it next time.
