Aussies love their backyard barbies, but eating out has also become a way of life. Thanks to immigration and multiculturalism, Australia has a huge range of cuisines spanning from Asian to Middle Eastern to Western cuisine. Here are the trends in popular restaurants and cuisines in Australia.

The most popular cuisine is Chinese. Chinese cuisine has dominated for a number of years due to its great value, filling dishes and large chinese population. There is almost always at least one in every food court. You wouldn’t have trouble finding a local good restaurant near you.

The next most popular cuisines are Thai, Australian, Italian, Seafood, Indian and Japanese.

Thai food is popular due to its delicious curry dishes and great value.

Modern Australian cuisine consists of various western foods such as meat pies, hamburgers and meat dishes.

Italian has seen a decline lately as Aussies spend less of their meals on fine dining.

Seafood restaurants are always popular choices for a casual meal or fine dining experience.

Indian food is well liked for its affordable and addictive curries.

Japanese food, particularly sushi, is seen as a healthy, quick and easy option for younger demographics.

Restaurants - Common Questions

How do I make a restaurant reservation?

First you need to pick which restaurant you want to go to, as some restaurants only take walk-ins. Then figure out the size of your party, as this will impact your wait time and booking. Lastly, pick a date and time and other options just in case those times are not available.

Do restaurants charge for reservations?

Most restaurants in Australia do not charge when you make a reservation. However some restaurants do take deposits to avoid no-shows or last minute cancellations.

Can restaurants charge for no-shows?

If a credit card is required to make a reservation and it comes with the specific details of its last minute cancellation policy, then they reserve the right to charge if you don't show up or cancel last minute.

What is a call ahead wait list at restaurants?

Some restaurants have a wait list when they receive reservation cancellations. Some casual restaurants accept call ahead seating which lets you put your name down before you arrive.

How long are reservations held for?

Most restaurants generally hold reservations for 15 minutes. If you haven't arrived or contacted via phone within 15 minutes after your booking time, the restaurant can mark your booking as no-show or cancellation and open the reservation to other people.
