“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 [...]
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 [...]
Tables are set, candles lit, it smells amazing, cue the music, flick the lights. It’s go time.
Standing in the street is a group of curious strangers completely unaware of what they are about to experience. They’ve come alone or in small groups, they love food, good wine and fun company. By the end of the [...]
The following are BAD names for a Thai restaurant:
ThaiTanic
Thairanosaurus
Thai Hard with a Vengeance
It’s My Party and I’ll Thai if I Want To
Hit Me Baby One More Thai
A cheesy, tacky name is often the first sign of an average Thai meal headed your way. Like a lot of Asian in Australia, Thai has been whipped and [...]
NOTE: Sadly Flinders Inn is no longer open
Running like Clockwork guests arrived one by one to the orange door on Flinders St, Paddington. Stepping off the busy street and into Flinders Inn they had arrived at the latest destination for Secret Foodies 12.

Did you say steaaaak? I sure did and not just any old steak, at Mumu Grill we’re talking top of the line organic, 100% grass fed sustainable beef. The latest destination for Secret Foodies, this was a special occasion marking our first ‘over the bridge’ north-side dinner since inception in April this year.

It may have rained all weekend but that didn’t stop Secret Foodies celebrating the long weekend at Randwick Races. The ladies were glamorous in colourful spring dresses, impressive fascinators and stunning shoes (that kill our feet but look too hot not to wear). The gentlemen came equally styled to boot and together our Secret Foodies guests were [...]
Small restaurants, tucked down little alleys and sneaky stairs that lead to a strange doors underground with cosy dining tables and mismatched furniture sounds very cool indeed. But sometimes Sydney tries to be too Melbourne- esque and we forget to flaunt our best assets. Arriving at Coast Restaurant on the waterside of Sussex St for [...]
Start with a spring Saturday night, add 25 food lovers, some funny ‘designer’ moustaches, masks, a new Italian Trattoria and you have Secret Foodies #8. The secret destination was Lanzafame, the latest addition to Sydney’s casual Italian dining scene in the eastern suburbs. Located just off Crown St, towards Woolloomooloo this little gem is slightly [...]
Tres Parisian Chic in The Rocks!
Once occupied by convicts, rowdy sailors and Australia’s first settlers The Rocks is the historical heart of Sydney. Fast-forward two decades and it has been transformed into a style precinct. Who would have thought a one time shippingport would now host some of Sydney’s best restaurants? Amongst them is a [...]
