Make the most of these bang-for-buck special menus at some of your favourite city centre restaurants like Bao Baby Bao...
Restaurant Month has returned this August, with over 100 special menus and 20+ dining events to enjoy. With so many options to choose from, it’s a chance to try something different - like dining in an unexpected place, attending a masterclass or a sumptuous Sunday lunch. Below are some of our picks on how to dine differently:
Try a different cuisine
The city centre is home to a fantastic breadth of world-class restaurants bosting international cuisine from all over the world. From escargot to pani puri and panna cotta, you don't need to get on a plane to experience authentic flavours from around the globe.

Experience degustation or sharing style dining
Restaurant Month is the perfect time to dine a different way! Used to always ordering just one dish? How about trying a sharing style menu, a tasting menu, or a menu with multiple courses? Loosen your belt buckles and give it a go - we've got our eyes on the menus from White + Wong's, Ima Cuisine, Esther, Daikoku Quay Street and Ebisu.
Ramp up your social life
Various locations in the city centre throughout August
Enjoy two cocktails and a sharing plate for just $25pp with Social Hour.
Social Hour is the perfect excuse to catch up with family, friends, flatties or your nearest and dearest. We’ve scoped out 20 of the city centre’s best venues, talented mixologists and moreish bar bites and challenged them to make the most Instagrammable menu. From frozen margaritas and smashed beef tacos to olive washed gin cocktail and chicken liver crème brulee, there’s plenty of reasons to head into the heart of the city this winter.
