GUSTO is the most successful and largest diners club in the Maltese islands. We have over 100 partner restaurants in Malta and Gozo each offering our members huge discounts whenever they dine out. Discounts include a one-time 50% discount on the food bill at each and every participant restaurant. We also have GustoXtra, a bonus section which gives members the possibility to enjoy weekend breaks and avail themselves from spa treatments at highly advantageous discounts including 50% off the regular rates.
There are no limits on the total savings that you can make throughout your membership period. The more you dine out the more you will save. However, on average, GUSTO members save Eur25-30 on each visit to a restaurant. If you dine out once every 2 weeks that equates to over Eur 500 of saving in a year... without even taking into consideration of the potential saving from weekend break and spa visits! If you dine out more than once every 2 weeks you will save much more. We estimate that on average, GUSTO members save over 800 Euros each ever year!
We have 2 batches of memberships per edition: one cheaper than the other. The first batch of memberships cost only Eur 59. Once the first batch is sold out, the price will go up to Eur 80 per year. If you think about it, if you dine out just once a month you would not only recoup the price of your membership but actually save lots of money... so at the end of the day it will always be free!
Just click on the Join Now button in the website menu. You will fill in your details and also pay for your membership online. Alternatively, you can call us and we can take your order on the phone. In a couple of days you will receive your membership card and GUSTO directory and you're ready to start taking advantage of your discounts. It really is that simple!
Yes you definitely should renew right away! When you click on the Renew Now button, the system will find your personal information including the expiry date of your 9th edition membership. When you renew, your smartphone app will remain active after your edition 9 membership expires and any blocked restaurants will be opened again. This will ensure that you can enjoy continuous benefits throughout 2020.
A GUSTO membership expires 1 year from the purchase date. For example, if you register on 15th Feb 2020, it will expire on 14th Feb 2021.
In GUSTO there can be 2 discounts: the One Time Discount and the Unlimited Discount.
The One Time Discount consists of 50% off the food bill for member and 1 guest. This discount is redeemable just once at every restaurant listed on the website. This means you can visit all restaurants listed with GUSTO and get a discount of 50% off the food bill at each restaurant... however, you can only do it once at each one of them. At some restaurants on specific days, the One Time Discount might be 30%... this would be indicated on the restaurants listing on the website. Beverages are always paid in full.
When you visit a Gusto restaurant the 2nd time or more, you can avail yourself from the Unlimited Discount. This discount varies from restaurant to restaurant and can be anything between 5% and 50%. This discount normally applies on the whole table but it can be specified otherwise on the restaurants listing on our website. To claim the Unlimited discount, you just need to present the personalised plastic card.

Restaurants have the option to offer a reduced one time offer (30% instead of 50%) instead of blocking that day altogether. This means that members have more options where to dine out on days when restaurants are normally much busier than usual e.g. on weekends.

Yes! With over 100 restaurants around the islands to choose from, you are practically able to dine out at lunch, dinner, weekdays and weekends. Some restaurants may feature individual exclusions which are clearly indicated in the specific restaurants page on our website. However, if a particular restaurant is restricting the offer when you would like to dine out, there will be many other restaurants which are offering it.
After your meal, find the listing of the restaurant you are in on the Gusto app, tap on the Redeem One-Time Offer button and the cashier/waiter (or yourself after you show that the button is active) keys in the 4 digit Pin code. Once you enter the code, the discount will be validated. It's important that you do not key in the restaurant Pin code before the restaurant staff can verify that you are authorised to take the discount.
GUSTO discounts apply on the a-la-carte menu so yes you can choose anything from it.
Some restaurants might offer heavily-discounted set menus or discounted dishes as in-house promotions. Since GUSTO is not available in conjunction with any other offer, the discounts might not apply such special set-menus or specific dishes at some restaurants as these would be already discounted. Whenever possible, such restrictions will be pointed out on the specific restaurant's page on www.gusto.com.mt

Many restaurants have billing systems that dont permit alterations once a bill is issued so its important for them to know beforehand so that separate bills can be opened for food and beverages.
Other restaurants have limited seating capacity so they need to plan and distribute their seating in advance. While all restaurants gladly welcome and actually want as many GUSTO members to visit them as possible, its not financially sustainable for any restaurant to be full with GUSTO members only on any day. By knowing in advance, they can allow a combination of GUSTO members and non members in any seating and thus balance the books.
It has to be expected that the best and most popular restaurants tend to full up early so book well ahead and do not rely on same-day bookings especially on weekends to avoid disappointment.

GUSTO membership is strictly non-transferable and can only be used by members on whom the membership is and dining partner/s.
The One Time Discount is available for you as themembership holder and a maximum of 1 guest. In the case where you and your guest are dining with other adult diners who are not members of GUSTO, the cheapest 2 items from each course consumed by the whole party will be discounted by 50% e.g. the cheapest 2 starters and cheapest 2 mains from the groups order. On the other hand, the Unlimited Offer can apply for groups but it is recommended that you check the specific restaurant listing as a few restaurants have set a maximum number of people per card.
In case you and your guest are accompanied by children, the One Time discount will be calculated on the price of the 2 adults food bill and the childrens order is paid in full. By children we understand diners aged under 10 years or diners who order from kids menu.
Many restaurants allow an unlimited number of memberships on the same table. This will be depicted by the blue icon showing U. Other restaurants allow a specific number of memberships per table. This is depicted by the number in the blue icon on the restaurants listing on the app or website.
When you pay using credit cards, restaurants incur processing fees and charges which means that at the end of the day they get less than the 50% that you actually pay. Paying in cash means wont make a difference for you but will make for the restaurant.
