    Is this for the eastern states only? Wil W.A get any love?

      I think we are yet to see the list, but according to:
      https://www.delicious.com.au/eat-out/latest-news/article/for…

      "Over 300 restaurants around the country will participate in the festival and we’re not just talking unknowns. Think fine diners and foodie favourites, like Monopole, Queen Chow and Berowra Waters Inn in NSW, Beau Kitchen & Cellar and Alibi Kitchen & Bar in Vic, The French Bistrot and Comuna Cantina in Qld, Henry’s Table and Laneway Espresso House in SA, and Prince Lane and Springs Kitchen Perth in WA."

    • pavman on 28/06/2019 - 13:41

      Haven't gone into detail, but the concrete playgorund website says "Perth diners should put Angove Kitchen & Espresso Bar, Prince Lane and Street Eats Eatery on their radar"

    • moorey on 28/06/2019 - 13:41

      Do a search on thefork.com.au website

  • tempura on 28/06/2019 - 13:43

    50% off $500 is $250.

    "Melbourne spots include Prahran's Casa NOM, Burma Lane in the CBD, South Yarra's Abacus and Pretty Boy Italian Steakhouse. Brisbane folk can score discounts at the likes of Comuna Cantina, River Quay Fish and The French Bistrot, and Perth diners should put Angove Kitchen & Espresso Bar, Prince Lane and Street Eats Eatery on their radar."

    • JimB on 28/06/2019 - 14:54

      I wouldn't mind trying out Burma Lane and Pretty Boy Italian Steakhouse.. at half price, I'm there.

      Hopefully there won't be too many conditions.

      I wonder what other restaurants will offer this promo.

      • Ozpit on 29/06/2019 - 09:26

        My local fish n chip joint will be offering half price on chiko rolls, dim sims, onions rings, corn jacks, fish cakes, battered sausages and large chips. They said they couldn’t risk a defection of their regulars.

    • gottacatchemall on 28/06/2019 - 18:29

      Where did you find this?

    • dsgfh on 01/07/2019 - 16:53

    Those restaurants regularly have 50% Off, the ones in Melbourne. This is nothing new

    • YaCono on 01/07/2019 - 09:41

      50% off via that website or directly with the restaurant?

      • t0087669 on 01/07/2019 - 13:07

        With website

  • [Deactivated] on 28/06/2019 - 14:10

    • niknah on 28/06/2019 - 15:20

      Used to be called Dimmi. Booking a table with them. Then when you pay, remind the restaurant that you had booked with them so you get the discount.

    • Beancurd on 28/06/2019 - 16:53

    This is an ongoing deal just with added restaurants. We are off to harajuku gyoza again with 50% off tomorrow. Still worth knowing the new ones are to be added 30 June.

    • Obey on 01/07/2019 - 17:35

        Brilliant. Salaryman banquet comes to 17.50 per head essentially all you can eat if you all commit and there is at least 4 on the table. I didn't this time as we had kids but we had all that we could eat with kids lying in a food coma for 5 people and was under $50 excluding beers. Even for an ozbargainer it was a tad embarrassing as I paid given the quality and quantity of the food we ate…

  • Maglia Nera on 28/06/2019 - 22:04

    TIL - If you having trouble calculating a percentage, just flip it. e.g. 50% of $80, is the same as 80% of $50

    Yay! Beware some places are only applying it to set menus, and others refuse to accept it even the site says yes (Onda I'm looking at you).

      I suspect what's already on the site may be a different promo though… As it says the list will be available on the site from June 30th

  • cooni on 29/06/2019 - 11:37

    Ormeggio at the Spit was excellent at 50% off when we went a couple of years back. Would even have been worth no discount for those with fancy pants taste.

  • [Deactivated] on 30/06/2019 - 16:53

    List been published yet? I can't find it.

    • Melburnian on 30/06/2019 - 17:03

      Don't know about a full list, but if you search as though you're going to book, 'THEFORK FESTIVAL' is now available as a filter tab at the top.

    • SmiTTy on 30/06/2019 - 17:04

    The festival seems to run to Sunday 11 August, as there are no offers available from August 12 onwards (in Melbourne anyway).

    • niknah on 01/07/2019 - 06:52

      For the places in my area. Some have been having continuous 50% discount since Feb. Maybe its a off peak season thing.

  • kerfuffle on 30/06/2019 - 21:15

  • ozbjunkie on 01/07/2019 - 09:21

    Beware 50% off set menus, usually they are much lower in value. The exception in my experience was meat and wine co Barangaroo, which had an excellent set menu for around 50 bucks after discount.

    • gottacatchemall on 01/07/2019 - 14:08

      Where does it say that? I have a bunch of places I want to book but my partner is a tiny eater so getting set menus just means food waste.

      • ozbjunkie on 01/07/2019 - 18:55

        Doesn't say it anywhere, just my experience with set menus in general - spend 50 bucks a head a la carte at 50% off and you're waddling out the door, on a set menu, not so much.

        But yeah maybe I shouldn't assume that everyone likes to eat as much as I do… Sometimes I don't even really like to eat as much as I do.

    • Homr on 01/07/2019 - 17:08

      do you have the link for the set menu for Meat & Wine Co

      Was it $50 for 2 people?? After discount?

      • ozbjunkie on 01/07/2019 - 18:53

        Was on last year, haven't seen it for a while. If it pops up again I'd grab it in a heartbeat.

        • anastasiastarz on 01/07/2019 - 21:45

          I think it was around $50pp, they will add more places later on.
          Why don't you go to the Meat Market instead?

          • ozbjunkie on 01/07/2019 - 22:29

            @anastasiastarz: Yes 50pp after discount.

            Yeah meat market in Sydney? I'm in Sydney boss. Ahh Melbourne, blast.

    I had to follow up with AMEX to manually add my credits in the last promotion. Even though I linked my AMEX card, booked thru thefork online and paid with my linked card. It seemed the credits are not automatically applied. Does anyone have a similar experience?

    • Jared17 on 05/07/2019 - 04:38

      No issues for me last time. Did about 15 bookings, all came thru. Half of them took a week though

  • Senatekill on 01/07/2019 - 17:42

    pretty ordinary list for melbourne - same as the std list of 50% off

    if you get a chance try Abacus Ringwood may favourite for sure

  • anastasiastarz on 01/07/2019 - 21:50

    Do people want our recommendations, or happy to read past posts? (copy paste)

    Melbourne - Who's been where and ate what, so far?

    We recommend…
    Henry & The Fox- Australian cuisine, it was good, and safe.
    Massi - Fine dining Italian, small spaces. - Related to Bianco, Kew
    Meat Market - also on the water, great for steak
    Queen St Rescue - Very casual, but we had a salad and it was amazing.

    These places do the 50% off when it's not 50% month too, so you could do these anytime:
    Barolo, Camberwell - Very good Italian, but don't get the seafood
    Marmara Restaurant, Windsor - Turkish, love this place
    Lezzet - highly recommended! Get the platter, we went twice.

    Nope:
    Campari House - Food was fine, venue was nasty. It was like a bar…

    Going to make bookings tonight, shall update this soon.

    • Melbournian on 02/07/2019 - 00:24

      Looks like Massi is not participating.

      • anastasiastarz on 02/07/2019 - 05:19

        Whoops wrote that the wrong way around, they're both good though.

      To add I think Abacus, Bay City Burrito and Imbue Food and Wine are also great in Melbourne. I've been to all of these and thought it was worth it paying full price. However for Abacus I went for brunch and this deal is only for dinner.

  • smileyface on 03/07/2019 - 09:51

    Went to Tutto Cafe Espresso Bar last night in Ashgrove, significant roadworks were being conducted directly outside the venue.
    Don’t judge the decor, the food surprised us in the nicest possible way!
    Even without the 40% off from the website, I’d still have given a 5/5 review. Currently 4.65/5 on Google notbadobama.gif

  • Jared17 on 05/07/2019 - 04:38

    Looked at sydney list for next Mon. It's not that good this time round sadly

  • anastasiastarz on 10/07/2019 - 08:54

    So I can't find the edit button, but we went to DTF (Emporium) last night :)
    How do people pay full price for food like this? I think it's the atmosphere and space.
    It was pretty good, but not full price good. Recommended though, should mention I don't eat pork (struggles).
