An Asian restaurant experience turns dinner into something worth planning around, from a private teppanyaki show in Sydney's Rocks to a chef's degustation with wine matched to every course. Each RedBalloon voucher names one venue and one menu, so the person opening it knows the exact restaurant and what's included before they book the table.
A degustation dinner in Sydney's Rocks and a Thai banquet over Balmoral Beach both sit under Asian restaurants at RedBalloon, and the range covers everything in between. It runs from Japanese teppanyaki theatre to Thai and Sri Lankan banquets, each hosted by an established kitchen rather than a pop-up. Every voucher lists the venue, the number of courses and what's poured, so there's nothing to guess before the table's booked.
Two hours in Sydney's Rocks lets you enjoy a 12 Course Japanese Teppanyaki Degustation, cooked table-side by a personal chef comparing three types of wagyu, or the 14-course seafood and wagyu version from the same kitchen. In Victoria, the Asian Fusion 8 Course Degustation Dinner comes from a Good Food Guide hatted restaurant that was runner-up for Best Chinese Restaurant in the 2023 Victoria Awards.
At Campbells Cove, a three-course modern Asian sharing menu from 3 Course Modern Asian Sharing Menu comes with a bottle of wine and a view of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House, and a four-course Thai banquet at Betel Leaf swaps that skyline for Balmoral Beach. In Darwin, Ella by Minoli pairs a three-course Sri Lankan dinner with a wine or beer match for every plate, while a four-course tasting menu from 4 Course Chef's Selection Dinner with Matched Wines builds around local, sustainable produce with a different wine poured per course. For something looser, a yum-cha-style tapas dinner swaps set courses for 10 shared plates and a cocktail each, better suited to a group than a formal sit-down.
A degustation suits two people who want every course chosen for them, in order, with nothing to decide once the first plate lands. A sharing menu works better for a slightly bigger table, since the dishes are built to pass around rather than plated one per person. If wine matters, look for the ones that name a wine or Champagne pairing rather than leaving drinks separate: three of the menus above already include it.
A dinner voucher works when you're not sure what someone wants but know they'll eat well. Pick the cuisine, the courses and whether wine's involved, and let them pick the night.
For a birthday, an anniversary or any excuse to book a table, a RedBalloon gift voucher covers the whole range if you'd rather leave the restaurant choice to them.
The eight-course Victorian degustation is a popular pick for gifting: a tasting menu at a Good Food Guide hatted restaurant, matched with a welcome glass of Champagne. For a Sydney option, the 12-course teppanyaki degustation in the Rocks is another strong choice, with three types of wagyu compared course by course.
You choose one venue and one set menu, and the voucher covers everything listed for that experience, from wine pairings to the number of courses. Recipients book directly with the restaurant using the date and time that suits them, so the gift stays flexible on when it's actually used, not just what's eaten.
Most vouchers cover a set number of courses plus something to drink: the Rocks teppanyaki degustation comes with three types of wagyu and a personal chef, while the Campbells Cove sharing menu adds a full bottle of wine. A few, like the Darwin Sri Lankan dinner, match a different wine or beer to each course.
Most venues that pour wine or serve cocktails ask diners to be 18 or over and may check photo ID, including the teppanyaki degustations and the Thai banquet at Betel Leaf. Dry menus don't carry the same restriction, so check the individual product page before booking for a younger group.
The degustation dining range spans every cuisine RedBalloon lists. Asian restaurants narrow that to Japanese, Thai, Sri Lankan and modern Asian menus specifically, so it suits someone with a cuisine preference already in mind.
If courses and set menus aren't the priority, dining experiences for two cover a wider range of cuisines and formats, and date night ideas branch out beyond restaurants entirely. For something built around tasting rather than a single set menu, food tasting and tours and wine tasting and winery tours both suit a slower afternoon.
