Not every Father’s Day gift needs to be wrapped. Sometimes, the best way to celebrate Dad is with his favourite meal, a few hours together or an experience that gives everyone something to talk about long after the day is over.

His choice for lunch or dinner
Let Dad set the pace, whether that’s a long lunch, an early dinner. Go back to the restaurant he always suggests, try somewhere new together or order his favourites for the table. From a relaxed family lunch at Caffe Cherry Beans to dinner at Kinn Thai or 7 Cutz Steakhouse or Tiger Lane. Father’s Day is a chance to slow down, catch up and let the meal last a little longer.
Because the food matters. But having everyone there matters more.
More of what he loves
Keep the day going with something Dad loves doing. Catch the latest release in IMAX at Dendy. Challenge him to a game at Kingpin Let him show the kids how it’s done or discover that they have finally learnt how to beat him.
It could be a movie, bowling, arcade games or simply time spent together without needing to be anywhere else. The best Father’s Day memories are often the moments that were never wrapped.
Make a day of it at
Before Father’s Day, if you still need gift ideas, start with our Gift Guide to find something that says, I know you. Then, on Sunday 6 September, bring everyone together for his favourite meal, a movie, a game or simply more time in each other’s company.
From the things on his wishlist to the moments that make his day, we’ve thought of every kind of Dad.
