Enjoy Up to 50% off with our queenstown restaurant deals
Our Queenstown restaurant deals let you save for that big night, eat out more often, or discover places you might otherwise overlook.
If you've been searching for great Queenstown Restaurant deals, have you thought about First Table?
One of the best things about Queenstown is its variety of dining options. With well over 100 restaurants, bars, and cafes, Queenstown has something to cater for all tastes and budgets, and we've sampled a wide range of them (like Flame Bar and Grill - wow what a meal that was!).
But eating out on holidays can be expensive, especially if you like to eat out for most meals.
Getting a table that suits your plans and budget can be difficult, particularly in those peak holiday periods.
And that’s why First Table was created.
we can help you get those big restaurant discounts
Have you heard of First Table?
First Table is a restaurant booking service that helps you access excellent meals for less—by booking the first table of the service (or another early seating, depending on the venue’s availability).
In most cases, you’ll receive:
- 50% off the food bill (drinks are usually excluded) for groups of 2, 3 or 4 diners only.
- A set booking fee paid at the time you reserve.
- A set dining time window (so restaurants can plan their service smoothly).
It’s a win-win:
- You will enjoy outstanding value at top venues.
- Restaurants fill early seats and build a steady flow of guests.
Imagine sitting down to your first Queenstown dinner, lake views in front of you, and knowing you’ve locked in 50% off your food bill.
A brief first table history
First Table’s concept was actually created by Kiwi Mat Weir, in Queenstown, one of New Zealand’s
busiest dining destinations, where restaurants often face the challenge
of quieter early services followed by peak-time rushes.
Mats' model was designed to:
- Encourage diners to eat a little earlier.
- Reward them with a strong food discount.
- Help restaurants smooth demand across the evening.
And from those Queenstown beginnings, the idea expanded widely due to its simple promise: great restaurants + easy booking + real value.
First Table is your personal restaurant discount assistant, and these days, their services are available in over 50 cities throughout New Zealand, Australia and the UK.
