Restaurants - join us for American Express Restaurant Month, returning to the Heart of the City from 1 - 31 August 2018

Auckland's biggest dining event is back for its eighth year and once again showcases the best of the city centre’s restaurant scene across 31 days of memorable foodie experiences.

American Express Restaurant Month is exclusive to the central city and is FREE for Heart of the City members.

Promotion and Partners

The event is promoted via Heart of the City during the key campaign period of winter and has delivered consistently great results in terms of awareness, increased dining activity and increased spending in restaurants.

American Express continue to support the event and the restaurant industry with their ongoing sponsorship. This year, they will be encouraging high-spending card members to dine out more often at venues that accept American Express during the month, with a ‘Spend and Get’ offer.
