From December 1 to 31, you can help raise funds for grassroots homelessness and community projects every time you dine out. StreetSmart’s annual fundraising campaign is back, giving diners the option to add a $2 donation to their bill at partner restaurants. The hospitality-led initiative has brought together hundreds of restaurants and their diners, raising more than $13 million over the last two decades.

This year, the campaign will chip in and fund solutions to provide care and support for people at risk, helping them transition from the street to a safe place to call home. Making a contribution to DineSmart will go a long way in helping people who are without shelter, food or support.

Taking part is simple: Just dine at a participating venue during December, and let the staff know you’re happy to add the $2 donation (or more, if you’d like) to your bill. Dine out and help out this December.

  • A ritzy institution on the Customs House rooftop. An appropriate focus on seafood works a treat, given the jaw-dropping views of Sydney Harbour. Book ahead for the window seats.

  • This “little restaurant in Stanmore” serves ferment-forward dishes that are inventive, accessible and deeply Australian all at once. It’s a vision brought to life in a tiny historic building on a suburban backstreet.

  • Noisy, spicy and lots of fun – just like the original in Melbourne. Follow the pink-neon bunny to GoGo bar for cocktails, then head to the buzzy dining room proper for Chin Chin classics like kingfish sashimi with lime and coconut, and wok-fired rice noodles with Wagyu.

  • Euro-leaning Table Manners is the shiny jewel on Macpherson Street where snacks, cocktails and luxe dinners are all possibilities. Go for a fancy club sandwich, the crispy "assassin’s" spaghetti and a killer fit-out.

  • It’s been attracting the glitterati since 1994, including Beyonce and Jay-Z, Madeline Albright and Bono.
