Hot chips officially Australia’s most ordered dish for 2025

Hot chips have been crowned Australia’s “unofficial national dish” for 2025, dominating delivery orders across multiple states.

The newly released Uber Eats Cravings Report, which took delivery and order statistics from across the country, revealed Queensland, Victoria, Tasmania and WA all ordered hot chips more than anything else this year.

NSW and the ACT broke away from the trend, choosing Pad Thai instead, while people in SA and the NT turned to comfort carbs like garlic bread and naan.

The report also suggested Aussies were trying to be healthier.

Orders for acai bowls have doubled over the past two years, and zero-sugar soft drink orders have also doubled.

Matcha is booming too, with orders jumping 217 per cent, and NSW is leading the green-tea takeover.

Coffee, unsurprisingly, remains the country’s lifeblood.

Millions of cups were ordered nationwide, although the iconic Aussie flat white didn’t top a single state.

Cappuccinos reigned in NSW, the ACT and WA, while lattes dominated in SA, Victoria and Tasmania.

Meanwhile, the heat-prone states — Queensland and the Northern Territory — powered through 2025 on iced lattes.

But when it comes to ice-cream, the weather doesn’t seem to matter — Australians everywhere are still ordering it, with each state sticking firmly to its favourite flavour.

Chocolate ice cream was the favourite in NSW, the ACT and Tasmania.

Choc-chip dough dominated in Queensland and WA, Victoria stayed classic with vanilla, and SA backed cookies and cream.

The report also revealed some standout eater habits.

One shopper ordered 70 bananas in a single delivery, while another in NSW placed a $3163 order — the biggest of the year.

One super-user took their loyalty to another level, clocking 2300 orders, including 400 cappuccinos.

“Aussies have made Uber Eats part of their daily routine,” said Ed Kitchen, Managing Director of Uber Eats Australia & New Zealand, adding that the platform has reached its 1 billion mark.

“We’re proud to help customers get (almost) anything when they need it most.

“Hitting one billion deliveries is a huge milestone, not just for us, but for the 60,000 merchants, delivery people, and customers who make every moment of convenience possible.

“From just 300 restaurant partners at launch to millions of deliveries each week, it’s incredible to see how far we’ve come in under a decade.”
