Grill’d closes five restaurants to offer free meals to those in need

This is in partnership with the St Vincent de Paul Society and the Salvation Army.

Restaurant brand Grill’d closed five of its restaurants to paying customers and instead open them to serve free meals to those in need on 6 December.

The charity initiative is in partnership with St Vincent de Paul Society and The Salvation Army.

Locations of the restaurants temporarily closing down include Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide.

Called The City Support Dinner initiative, it began at Grill’d Southern Cross in Melbourne in March this year before expanding nationally in April and has provided over 7,000 meals across multiple states. On the first Tuesday night of every month, a CBD restaurant in every capital city closes its doors to paying customers and welcomes non-paying guests for a free hamburger, chips and drink.

Established in Melbourne in 2004, Grill’d is one of the largest privately-owned restaurant groups in Australia.
