Even though there's something nice about a home-cooked meal, there's nothing quite like a dinner from your favorite restaurant. Maybe your favorite food is pizza, burgers, tacos, sushi, or pasta. Perhaps you have a sweet tooth and love apple pie, coffee cake, or warm brownies with ice cream. Getting together with friends or family for a night out and filling up the table with delicious food, desserts, and beverages can be a great way to celebrate a special occasion. Having a tradition of getting meals with friends and family members can be a special way to stay connected. Meeting up with friends at a special spot at the end of a long work week or grabbing a quick bite to eat with a family member can be a great way to show how much you care about them. Since so many people enjoy having conversations over lunch or dinner, giving the gift of a meal can be a very thoughtful present for a birthday, graduation, anniversary, work promotion, or holiday. For this reason, sending a flexible dining gift can be a wonderful idea if you're looking for a present for friends, family members, coworkers, or a significant other. Shopping online and sending a restaurant-themed gift to your friends and family members is convenient, whether you live close by or far away. However, if you don't know where your recipient enjoys eating, you may have a difficult time choosing a specific place. In most cases, if you buy something tied to one restaurant, your recipient won't be able to use it anywhere else they might prefer. With Giftly, you can send a gift that’s good anywhere and simply suggest a specific restaurant. You can recommend a place you think they’ll love, while still leaving the choice entirely up to them. Your friends and family members then have the opportunity to dine at their favorite restaurants and enjoy their favorite meals and desserts—however they choose to use it.

FAQ's
Are gift cards good for restaurants?
Many restaurants offer their own prepaid options that can only be used at that specific location. With Giftly, you can instead send a flexible gift suggested for any restaurant through a simple online process at Giftly.com. Your recipient can redeem the Giftly as a Prepaid Card in the mail, as a credit to their bank account, or as a credit to their PayPal account—letting them use it at whichever restaurant they prefer.
Can you use restaurant gift cards on Doordash, Grubhub, or other food delivery services?
If you purchase a gift card for a specific restaurant, you won't be able to use it for food delivery services. Most gift cards to restaurants can only be used at the restaurant for which it's intended. However, you can purchase a Giftly for any restaurant or food delivery service online at Giftly.com and send it to your recipient via email, text, or print. Your recipient can then use the Giftly for Doordash, Grubhub, or any other food delivery service of their choice.
What is the best place to buy restaurant gift cards?
Some restaurants sell physical or digital prepaid options tied to their brand. Another flexible alternative is sending a Giftly suggested for any restaurant at Giftly.com. Your recipient can redeem it as a Prepaid Card, a bank deposit, or PayPal credit, then dine wherever they like.
How much should you give in a restaurant gift card?
People often give around $10–$20 to casual acquaintances and $50–$100 to close friends, family members, or significant others. With Giftly, you can send any amount up to $1,000 and simply suggest your favorite restaurant while giving your recipient full freedom in how they use it.
Are there universal restaurant gift cards?
Restaurant-specific options usually can’t be used elsewhere. A Giftly provides flexibility by letting you suggest any restaurant while allowing your recipient to use the value anywhere. This makes Giftly function like a universal restaurant gift.
What are the most popular restaurant gift cards?
Popular choices people often suggest include:
- Joe's Stone Crab
- Gordon Ramsay Hell’s Kitchen
- Peter Luger Steak House
- Umi Japanese Cuisine
- CAVA
