Food campaigns serve up huge discount deals for diners

$80 nine-course dinners; $25 seafood lunches with wine; and a steak and beer for only $35 – some of Brisbane’s best restaurants will be serving up bargain bites as part of a special new initiative.

From $25 seafood lunches including a glass of wine to a four-course dinner for just $60, eating out in Brisbane is set to be a discount demon’s dream this May.

The River City will become a culinary playground for the budget conscious next month, with two campaigns serving up bumper dining deals at some of Queensland’s best restaurants.

American Express delicious. Month Out (May 1-31) and Dine BNE City (May 13-30) are both charged with reinvigorating the city’s hospitality scene after a tough year brought on by COVID lockdowns, encouraging consumers to return to meals out with incredible exclusive offers.

“This is the first year we’re running American Express delicious. Month Out in Brisbane and we’re absolutely stoked,” said delicious. editor Samantha Jones.

“We’ve locked in a great line-up of culinary offers that will enable Brisbanites to eat out for less at a host of top restaurants including Donna Chang, Three Blue Ducks and Yoko Dining.”
The deals include everything from complimentary cocktails at high tea at the luxe W Brisbane hotel to free cookbooks, as well as exclusive events such as a brunch at the hottest new French restaurant in town, Bisou Bisou in Fortitude Valley.

While Dine BNE City has secured acclaimed venues such as Brisbane Phoenix, Blackbird Bar & Grill, and Persone with offers such as an $89 10-course supper and a nine-course meal for $80.

The Stores Grocer in West End will take part in the American Express delicious. Month Out campaign, offering 20 per cent off their exclusive range of handmade pastas and sauces made fresh in house each day throughout May.

“We are excited to be involved in the campaign this year as it provides a unique opportunity to showcase the amazing artisan products and restaurant quality food available across Brisbane,” said The Stores head chef Jacopo Corbetta. “The campaign will provide much needed support to the hospitality industry which has been through so much in the past year.”
