Fancy shaving half the cost off your food bill just for rocking up at an off-peak time? Well, there’s a new restaurant discovery platform on the Melbourne foodie scene and that’s exactly the offer they’re bringing to the party.
They’re called First Table and with these folks, it really is all in the name. They’ve teamed up with Melbourne cafés and restaurants to create a true win-win scenario: the eateries get full tables and a buzzing atmosphere at the early end of their opening hours, and you get a frankly massive 50 per cent off the price of your food.
So, how does it actually work? Head to the First Table website where you’ll find some of Melbourne’s most exciting breakfast, lunch and dinner spots have listed their first tables of the day or night. There’s a $10 booking fee to secure your early bird offer, which will then unlock your half-price food – talk about affordable luxury! Just keep in mind you’ll need to book for a group of between two and four, and drinks are full price.
First Table is also designed to help foodies discover new cuisines, dishes and secret spots with more than 1,000 restaurants on the platform globally and 800,000 diners worldwide. That means you can book in at the same place as many times as you like, just not twice in a row.
If you’re anything like us, we’re sure you’re now counting down the days until these delectable offers arrive in our city. The good news is that First Table is officially launching in Melbourne on Monday, August 14. The even better news is that they’re slashing the booking fee to $5 for the first 30 days after the launch (aka until September 12) if you sign up using this secret link.
As if things needed to get even tastier, First Table is also giving foodies the chance to win a year of Melbourne dining experiences – simply fill out this form before August 17 and you’ll be in it to win it.
