    If someone had invited me to attend a secret dinner on level 6 of the Westfield building in Sydney a year ago I would have politely declined. A bad food court, sloppy Big Macs, watered down coke and screaming children is no exaggeration of what was on offer. Fast-forward and scrap preconceived notions of shopping [...]

    Spanish Warehouse with Chris Cranswick-Smith

    What’s better than spending the night at a Spanish pop-up restaurant? Spending two nights there. Night 2 and our chef for this evening is Chris Cranswick-Smith from Surry Hills restaurant, Emmilou.  Prior to opening his restaurant in 2007 Chris spent 5 years crafting his culinary flair in some of Spain’s leading kitchens. His unique style brings [...]

    “Tonight’s Secret Foodies will take place in Newtown. Make your way there and await the final address at 6pm. xxMsD”.
    Yes you read correctly, we were headed for Newtown where a small intimate group of foodies were to embark on a culinary adventure and participate in our first Inner West secret dinner. When thinking about the [...]

    Velero

    Frequent trips to the south of Spain, eating and drinking your way across the country is a romantic idea for most. As Secret Foodies guests discovered, visiting Velero on Woolloomooloo Wharf is one culinary adventure  you can experience without boarding a plane.  Instead, you’ll enjoy a Spanish Fiesta right here in Sydney at one of [...]

Ormeggio at the Spit

“Tonight Secret Foodies is at a place starting with O. You’ll find it at D’Albora Marinas, The Spit, Mosman. See you there at 7pm. xxMsD”
After the sixth person walked into Orso and asked for Secret Foodies I’m sure the restaurant owner was ready to start throwing plates. There is only one hated restaurant at The [...]

Miga Restaurant

Miga Restaurant opened last month at 1 Dixon St, Haymarket bringing a new style of Korean dining to Sydney. The street itself is lined with Asian restaurants and on this particular night a Hong Kong celebrity is signing autographs at the front of a neighboring restaurant. We have no idea who this guy is or [...]

Food Society

Searching Google for Croatian restaurants in Sydney’s east would lead most to the restaurant and somewhat institution known as the Balkan on Oxford St. Acting as the perfect distraction some Secret Foodies guests were convinced this was the destination for our Dalmatian Coast Dinner.
Note, the website did read NEW restaurant so for those who dug [...]

Take a stroll through the streets of Darlinghurst and it seems there is always something quirky and interesting to be seen. New graffiti on walls, someone’s ‘trash’, another’s treasure littering the streets or the occasional homeless person straying from Kings Cross. Locals would have to admit it’s rare to find a dull route.
That said, few [...]

Spanish Warehouse with Miguel Maestre

At the end of April 2010 we hosted our first Secret Foodies. I invited 10 friends with strict instructions to bring one guest I’d never met before to dinner. Two hours before dinner everyone would receive a secretinfo text message with instructions on where to meet.
That first Secret Foodies saw 20 like-minded people brought together [...]

Sydney’s finest gathered on Friday night for a noble feast secretly nestled in a mysterious location in the suburb known as Waterloo. Amongst the esteemed guest list were Lords and Ladies, even Sir Lancelot himself graced us with his presence.

Look out ladies of the night pounding the pavements of the Golden Mile, there’s a hot, new classy blonde in town and she’s got style money can’t buy. It seems Kings Cross is the place to be right now with foodies salivating at the latest’s developments. We have Barrio Chino serving authentic Mexican and Gastro [...]
