This list of the best restaurants in Australia is all you will need to ensure you enjoy countless dining experiences throughout 2023. Our team of reviewers spend months crisscrossing the country, knife and fork in hand, kicking the tyres of old favourites, putting new players through their paces and generally taking stock of the nation’s dining scene to compile this comprehensive run-down for your eating pleasure. They visit unannounced and pay their way so you can feel confident every restaurant featured here should offer a winning experience.
The best way to experience Australia’s top restaurants is with a Gourmet Traveller Gift Card. The culinary card is your gift recipient’s passport to the crème de la crème of dining destinations, from a wine bar with world-class views to a tucked-away new eatery. The finer points? It’s valid for three years and can be swiped for all food and beverages – at participating restaurants. Surprise friends and family with the gift of premium dining. Visit Gourmet Traveller Gift Card for a list of participating partners.
