Restaurant gift card

Give a hotel dining experience and let your loved ones choose.

Lunch in Provence, dinner in Paris or dining with relaxation in London: choose a gift around your loved ones’ tastes, your budget for two and the services included.

A restaurant gift card invites someone you love to take time over a good meal. Sezame selects experiences in hotels you can visit without an overnight stay: lunch, dinner for two or dining combined with a wellness break. Choose your gift around the recipient’s tastes, your budget and the services included.

Give a meal with a Sezame gift card

The Sezame card lets you give a dining experience while leaving room for choice. It is valid across all Sezame experiences and is not restricted to restaurants. Read how the Sezame gift card works for the general arrangements.

You can choose an amount from €20 or recommend an experience, with its price setting the card’s value. Either way, the recipient can choose their own moment.

Start with something they would enjoy: discovering a cuisine, sharing an evening or bringing two people together. An experience you recommend gives your gift a personal direction, without treating the card’s value as a menu guaranteed indefinitely.

A gift for a birthday or special occasion

A birthday, Christmas or a thank-you can become a shared memory. For a couple, look for an experience suitable for two guests. For someone who loves food, consider the menu and flavours alongside the setting.

Let the recipient choose

Unsure which address they would prefer? Leaving the choice open helps you avoid imposing your favourite restaurant. Check that a suitable experience is available near their home or in a city they plan to visit.

What budget should you allow for a meal for two?

Compare prices on the same basis. An experience at €40 per person costs €80 for two, while a €139 experience advertised for two already covers both guests. Match the gift card’s value to the kind of moment you want to give.

Start with the experience price

The suggestions below offer practical reference points in France and London. Keep the currency shown: a price in pounds sterling cannot be compared directly with an amount in euros. Prices may change, so check the listing before buying.

Allow for drinks and extras

An included glass of wine is not a full wine pairing. Champagne, an optional extra or an additional service may change the overall budget. Read the details to choose a gift amount that fits the meal you have in mind.

Lunch or dinner: which gift should you choose?

Lunch makes room for a daytime outing, while dinner creates an evening together. Service days matter as much as atmosphere: an experience available only on weekdays may be less practical for someone who is free at weekends.

Lunch for a leisurely break

Seasonal French cooking or a brasserie meal may suit relatives and friends who enjoy relaxed dining. Check timings and travel, particularly when giving the experience to someone who lives further away.

Dinner for time together

For a meal as a couple, consider both guests’ preferences. A tasting menu suits people who enjoy discovery, while dinner with a spa visit calls for more time. Choose a combination of services they will enjoy together.

Details to check before giving

After purchase, you receive a digital, printable gift voucher by email to pass on to the recipient. You can hand it over in person or send them the voucher, depending on the occasion.

Before choosing, check the hotels and experiences listed on the website. A hotel appearing in a selection does not guarantee that a table will be available at your preferred time.

Read the inclusions: guest numbers, dishes, drinks and any wellness access. Check booking slots and conditions. Photos show the atmosphere, while the description explains what is included.

For allergies or dietary requirements, ask the team to confirm possible adjustments. Menus change with seasonal produce. If a particular date or dish matters, check it before choosing.
