The Bestie Dinner Party Is Back

After the success of last year's dinner party, Best Restaurants is hosting intimate group dinners in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane on Wednesday 17 June 2026 - and we're giving five bestie duos in each city a seat at the table.

The perfect excuse to dress up - you'll share a curated set menu and a room full of warm, buzzy energy with other bestie pairs, plus icebreakers that'll remind you exactly why this friendship is worth celebrating.

Think your bestie deserves a night like this? Simply tell us why they're your number one and enter for your chance to win.
