Best Restaurant Gift Cards & Dining Vouchers in Australia

What is a restaurant gift card?

A restaurant gift card is a digital or physical card loaded with money that the recipient can spend when dining out at a restaurant. GroupTogether’s Restaurant Choice eGift Card is even better — it’s a pre-paid Visa eGift Card that can be used at ANY café, bar or restaurant in Australia that accepts EFTPOS. That means the recipient isn’t locked into a single restaurant, chain or cuisine. They can use it for their favourite brunch spot, date-night restaurant, a month of coffees or cocktails with friends.

Why choose GroupTogether for restaurant gift cards?

GroupTogether is more than just a place to buy gift cards — it’s a full gifting platform but without a big sign up. You can do it right now.

Here’s why people love using it:

• Let the group sign a card to go with the gift: Everyone can sign a beautiful digital group card and add messages, photos and GIFs. It makes a gift card more personal.
• Collect money seamlessly: Friends, colleagues or family can chip in online for the gift card.
• You choose or they choose: You can give your friend a Restaurant Choice eGift Card or give them a GroupTogether AnyCard and they can swap it for a Restaurant Choice eGift Card or any of 100+ other leading retailer eGift Cards - from spa cards to grocery gift cards. It's the ultimate choice!
• Digital delivery: The eGift Card and greeting card are emailed instantly — no plastic, no postage delays, no losing gift cards. If they misplace it, you can resend it to them (or they can contact GroupTogether).

What the recipient actually receives

This is where GroupTogether really shines — it’s more than “just a gift card.”

When you send a Restaurant Choice eGift Card (or any GroupTogether eGift Card), the recipient gets a stylish, luxe digital unwrapping experience.

• Their name appears embossed on a virtual envelope, making it feel personal and premium.
• They open a digital greeting card with a custom card cover — you can choose a design, add a photo or GIF, and include a personalised message like “Happy 20th Birthday, Nic!”
• If it’s a group gift, everyone can add their own message, image, or GIF to the card — making it a true keepsake they can treasure.
• If it’s a gift card for employees (with GroupTogether, you can send 1-1000 eGift Cards in just a few minutes), you can add your company logo and a message from the team or CEO to make it feel official and thoughtful.

It’s a level of personalisation and presentation that turns a gift card into a genuine moment of joy.

Can you use GroupTogether’s Restaurant Choice eGift Card anywhere?

Yes — and that’s what makes it so good. The Restaurant Card works at any café, bar, pub or restaurant in Australia that accepts EFTPOS. This means it’s:

• Perfect for fussy foodies: They get to pick their favourite spot.
• Great for group gifts: Whether it’s a farewell lunch or a team celebration, no need to guess what cuisine they like.
• Widely accepted: Works in cities and regional areas alike.

Can I send restaurant gift cards in bulk?

Right now, GroupTogether’s option to bulk send gift cards allows you to buy AnyCards in bulk - perfect for sales incentives, staff gifts or anyone wanting to send gifts to multiple people at once.

The best part? Recipients can swap their AnyCard for any of our 100+ eGift Cards, including the Restaurant Choice eGift Card. So you can still give restaurant gift cards at scale — even hundreds at a time — without manually sending them one by one.

How to buy a restaurant gift card with GroupTogether

It’s simple:

1. Go to www.GroupTogether.com and start a group card, or choose the Bulk eGift Card option.
2. Collect contributions if needed.
3. Choose the Restaurant Choice eGift Card from our Gift Store at checkout (or choose the AnyCard if you want the recipient to have more flexibility).
4. Send the card and gift — the recipient receives a beautiful, personalised digital unwrapping experience and their gift instantly.

Can the recipient choose something else?

Yes! If you’re not sure whether they’d prefer a restaurant gift card, you can give them the AnyCard instead. They can then swap it for whatever they like (including the Restaurant Choice eGift Card), or another retailer gift card like JB Hi-Fi, Myer, The ICONIC, endota spa, Airbnb, Woolies & more.

Why restaurant gift cards make the best gifts

• Experiences > things: A restaurant gift card gives the recipient a memorable night out.
• Flexible: They can choose the venue and timing.
• Zero waste: No returns, no unwanted stuff — just a great meal.
• Instant delivery: Perfect for last-minute gifts.
