The Entertainment Book is a great initiative to raise money for charities, clubs and so on, and provides us discounts on activities around Sydney, especially, for our purposes, restaurants and cafes.
It looks like this.
Let's see what the website has to say: "The Entertainment™ Book is a restaurant and activity guide that provides special 25 to 50% off and 2-for-1 offers from many of the best restaurants, hotels and attractions throughout Australia & New Zealand."
Damn straight.
Now the book is only available from the charities, schools, groups, clubs, and so on (they receive the profits), so you need to get out there and work the phones; find a group you support.
I know for a fact that Sydney Boys High School is selling them, so give them a call.
The reason this is relevant now is that the 2006/7 book is now available, and becomes valid in June. But you can buy it and start using it any time after that too. It costs $60 and is well worth it. For the restaurants you get a card that you give to the restaurant with the bill. You can use one card for two people, but if you're going with four or six people, you can use more then one card so the discount isn't diluted.
In terms of the restaurant discounts, you either get 25% off (up to a certain amount) or a buy one get one free main course deal. There are some seriously good restaurants as well, such as Forty One, Alio, Bathers Pavilion, Billson’s, Omega, and Bistro Moore, as well as more casual places such as The Paddington Inn, The Olympic Hotel, and so on. So it's all good, really. You will make the $60 back in no time, and the rest is gravy; and it makes some usually exclusive restaurants much more accessible.
So get out there; use and abuse The Entertainment Book and card because it's a fantastic deal.
