The secret to dining deals? A Best Restaurants gift card sale!
Published 03 June 2025

If you’ve been waiting for the perfect excuse to book that long-awaited date night or simply treat yourself to a meal that doesn’t end with washing the dishes – you’re in luck. The end of financial year (EOFY) is not only a great time to balance your budget, it’s also your chance to take advantage of limited-time dining deals. 

Because sometimes the best investment is in yourself – and in a really good meal. 

 

 

4 reasons to treat yourself this EOFY 

 

There’s something deeply satisfying about celebrating EOFY with a little indulgence. Maybe you’ve had a massive quarter at work. Maybe you’ve stuck to your budget all year. Or maybe you just want to end the financial year with a little more flavour. Here’s why now is the time to go for it: 

 

  1. You’ve earned it! From deadlines to dinner duties, life is full-on. Booking a dinner out is a memorable way to press pause and savour your wins.
  2. It’s budget-friendly: Our EOFY sale means you can buy a Best Restaurants Gift Card at a discounted rate and use it later – whether it’s for your next night out or to finally visit that place everyone’s been talking about.
  3. Dining out = happiness: Experiences tend to make us happier than material things. So that truffle pasta or fire-grilled steak? It’s technically self-care.
  4. It makes a perfect gift (even to yourself): Birthdays, anniversaries, ‘just because’ moments – gift cards make it easy to surprise someone else or stash one away for your future self.
