Best Restaurants Promo Codes & Gift Card Discounts

About Best Restaurants

Best Restaurants offers gift cards — both physical and digital — redeemable at more than 400 participating restaurants across Australia, spanning fine dining, casual cafes, and everything in between. Cards are valid for 3 years from the date of purchase, and digital e-gift cards can be delivered by email, making them a fast option for last-minute gifting.

Best Restaurants regularly runs bonus-value promotions, where buying a gift card of a certain amount unlocks extra bonus value — for example, a $20 bonus for every $100 spent, available during promotional periods. The bonus portion typically carries a shorter expiry than the main card value, so it's worth checking the terms shown at checkout.

Before relying on the card for a specific occasion, it's worth checking the participating restaurant list for venues you'd actually use, since not every restaurant mentioned on the site necessarily accepts the card as payment — confirming with the venue directly avoids any surprise at the table.

How to Use a Best Restaurants Promo Code

1. Go to bestrestaurants.com.au and decide between a physical gift card (delivered by mail) or a digital e-gift card (delivered by email).
2. Before buying, check the participating restaurant list for venues near the recipient, or that you know they actually visit — this avoids disappointment if a card ends up at a restaurant that doesn't accept it.
3. Choose your card amount — if there's a current bonus-value promotion running, note the spend threshold needed to unlock the extra value (for example, spend $100 to receive $120 in total card value).
4. Find a current Best Restaurants promo code on this page and copy it.
5. At checkout, paste your code into the discount field and click "Apply" before completing payment.
6. If buying a digital card as a gift, double check the personalisation and delivery options before paying — some digital cards are sent to your own email by default rather than the recipient's, so you may need to forward it yourself.

More Ways to Save with Best Restaurants

- Watch for bonus-value promotions, which have previously offered up to 20% extra value on larger gift card purchases — check the current offer before buying, since the bonus is often tied to a specific spend tier.
- Sign up to the newsletter for an occasional 10% off gift card purchases.
- Buy ahead of major gifting periods like Christmas or Mother's Day, when bonus promotions are typically at their most generous.
- Confirm a participating restaurant accepts the card before gifting it for a specific occasion (like a birthday booking), since acceptance varies by venue.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is a Best Restaurants gift card valid for?
The main card value is valid for 3 years from the date of purchase; any bonus promotional value may have a shorter expiry, so check the terms at checkout.

Do all restaurants on the website accept the gift card?
Not necessarily — it's worth checking the participating venue list, or confirming directly with the restaurant, before relying on the card for a specific booking.

Can I send a digital Best Restaurants gift card directly to someone else?
This depends on the option selected at checkout — some digital cards are sent to the purchaser's own email rather than the recipient's, so check the delivery options carefully if buying as a gift.

Are bonus-value gift card promotions ongoing?
No, bonus promotions run periodically rather than year-round — check the current offer on the site before purchasing if you're hoping for extra value.

Can I get a refund on a Best Restaurants e-gift card?
Generally no — e-gift card purchases are typically final, so it's worth confirming the order details before completing payment.
