About us

Kia ora

Established in 1966 as deGroots Media, our origins trace back to one of Australia’s oldest hospitality media and gift card companies. 

Back then, we started as Australia’s first hospitality print magazine found extensively on coffee tables across the country, later becoming Australia's first digital magazine helping foodies browse and search restaurants, their features, events, specials, menus, chef information, awards and reviews. We're also a one-stop shop to learn about Aussie dining favourites, most visited, recommended and chef acclaimed restaurants. Our popular column 'Top 10' receives great attention from visitors from across the country and internationally. 

In 2012, we launched Australia’s first Best Restaurants Gift card which remains Australia's most premium food gift card, bringing audiences the best of Australian favourites suited to all occasions and tastes.

Now in 2024, we're excited to also be bringing you the BEST of Kiwi hospitality.
