New Zealand’s best gift card, and favourite excuse to go out

 

World-class food and drinks and no bill to split at the end? Yes, chef. A Best Restaurants gift card gives them dollars for a memorable meal, extra dessert or another bottle – and zero reasons to stay home.

A really good time, for every budget

 

Whole lobster. Caviar bumps. And a round of espresso martinis. Celebrations are more fun when they’re not paying. To get started, pick a number. Any number. They all end in a good time.

$50
Let's turn things up a notch.
$100
One of every dessert? Go on then.
$250
A night off checking the prices.
$500
Responsibility has left the table.

Their permission slip to let loose.

 

Congratulations!, Thank You, or Sorry I Forgot Your Birthday. A Best Restaurants gift card doesn’t just pick up the bill, it puts them at a table with their favourite people β€” and gives them memories that last long after the dessert has been devoured. Tell them to spend it how they want, with whoever they want. Everyone’s invited. Except their table manners.

Dinner or drinks on the house? You could twist their arm

 

Whatever the occasion, spoil them to a long lunch that turns into a late dinner that turns into cocktails with the couple sitting at the next table over. And to think you almost bought them a cookbook.

Sent in seconds
Inbox, pocket or letterbox β€” give them something they’ll be raving about for weeks. Digital arrives in moments. Physical arrives ready to spend.
Left unsupervised near a wine list
They browse the Best Restaurants directory, spot the green tick and book the table. From a quiet dinner for two to a full unravelling, they choose how to celebrate.
Card out. Bill gone. Magic
They hand it over when the bill lands. No app, no points, no obligation to call the next day. Just the quiet thrill of not reaching for a wallet.
You choose the amount. They choose the place.

You choose the amount. They choose the place.

Freedom to book the award-winner with white tablecloths, or the hole-in-the-wall they eat at every Tuesday.

Forgot? Nobody has to know.

Forgot? Nobody has to know.

A premium gift that arrives in minutes — and looks like you planned it for weeks.

Spend it how they like.

Spend the lot in one glorious sitting or spread it across a few very good evenings.

It's their birthday. Celebrate accordingly.


A slice of cake and a quiet night in? Yawn. This year, help them celebrate properly with a long lunch, the second most expensive bottle, and a tiny dessert with a candle on top.

They haven’t stopped smiling. Or talking.


They'll be telling the story forever. Give them somewhere nice to tell it, with a bottle that demands an ice bucket.

They’ve got enough salad bowls.


Skip the registry. For a gift that stands out, give them dinner they'd never book themselves to enjoy after the festivities are over.

They’re still together. And still hungry.


Mark it properly. Share plates over shared stories, and neither of them looking at the time.

Congratulations (and champagne) are in order.


Promotion, graduation, or finally handing in the notice. There are some moments in life when only bubbles (served by someone else) will do.

For when you really owe them one.


They watered your plants. They checked your mail. They dropped you to the airport for the 6am flight. Pay them back in three courses.

A Christmas gift that’s definitely not getting regifted.

There’s enough stuffed in their kitchen drawer.


They've got nothing in the fridge and boxes in every room. You know what they’d love? Their favourite meal, enjoyed in a chair.

The Perfect Gift Just Because

We’d say no reason is a pretty good reason.


A special surprise, simply because they haven’t stopped talking about that new restaurant, or how long it’s been since they’ve had a night out.

Friends are always happy and they make an easy last minute gift – I've purchased a few of their gift cards, friends always seem to be happy with them and they make an easy last minute gift.

I will definitely be using Best Gift Card company again. Their customer service is excellent, with frequent updated communication, making it very easy to purchase a Best Gift Card from the UK.

I've purchased a few gift cards from best restaurants and I found the process very simple and transparent. Looking forward to more best restaurants appearing on the list in the future.

We were gifted a voucher. The process was easy; downloaded the app, uploaded the voucher, looked up a restaurant, booked a table, advised the waiter that we had a voucher prior to getting the bill, paid the bill. Restaurant was fabulous, staff were attentive and food was amazing. A very enjoyable experience. I recommend Best Restaurants.

Best Restaurants made finding a great place for dinner outside of my usual haunt, super-easy and special. Bonus was getting someone else to foot the bill, great present!

First time purchase but everything from the ease of ordering through to delivery of digital cards received in minutes was perfect. With a greater abundance of both casual and fine dining establishments to choose from, i'll be sure to use Best Restaurants again.

A lovely gift with which to thank people, or for birthdays, other special occasions, or just because. It gives them the choice of where and when to use it. The process was simple and efficient and can be done in the comfort of you own home, when it suits.

Works wherever they're hungry

Which, if you know them at all, is everywhere. Shucked, charred, smoked or slow-cooked. All redeemable with the same card.

Gift Card FAQs
Β 
You buy the gift card. They receive it via email (and SMS, if they like). They check our Best Restaurants directory for inspiration on where to go, make a booking, have the time of their life, eat too much, and show their gift card when it comes time to settle the bill.
Fashionably late doesn’t apply to restaurant bookings β€” or gift cards. So, our digital gift cards arrive moments after you order. Going physical? Allow 4-10 business days for standard post, or 2-7 business days for express post. Look at you, planning ahead.
Somewhere on their list, obviously. Their new local. The restaurant they’ve had saved for months. The fancy wine bar they keep sending you on Instagram. Just tell them to check the Best Restaurants directory before booking.
Best Restaurants gift cards are valid for three years from the date of purchase. But when there’s a free meal on the table? We can’t imagine them needing that long. In some cases, bonus promotional cards have a shorter expiry, so we’d suggest checking the T&Cs.
Misplaced a gift card? Trouble with your order? Torn between the steak and fish? We can help with at least two of those. Get in touch at [email protected].
