Gangsters, flapper girls and mafia mob all gathered at a top secret location in the heart of Sydney, The Rocks for Secret Foodies Prohibition Pop-Up.

[ 9 ] February 15, 2013

Last Saturday Secret Foodies dined ‘New York, New York’ style at The Morrison Bar and Oyster Room. A stark contrast from the building’s previous venue, The Morrison delivered a wonderful night for all and was a fantastic event to kick off the new year for Secret Foodies. Special mentions must go to the succulent lamb shoulder and Sean [...]

Secret Foodies hosted Wood Fire Feast at Puntino Trattoria in Woolloomooloo last week. This little gem has been on Crown St for over a decade but was the first time any of our guests had been there until that night. After our Wednesday night feast I’m guessing most of them will be back in a [...]

Dutch Spring

Dutch Spring

[ 12 ] April 18, 2012

With dreadful winter weather upon us Secret Foodies could not have whisked us away to springtime in Holland sooner. Northern European restaurant and beer café Essen was our secret destination.
With heavy rain pounding the windows outside, our guests were warmed up with a ‘Dutch Quick Buck’. No, we’re not being rude. It was the name [...]

[ 34 ] February 16, 2012

Eau De Vie is the place where Sydney-siders in the know go for a carefully crafted cocktail. A special bottle of champagne opened by sabre before your eyes. It’s where bartenders become scientists and performers each night for a thirsty crowd. It’s all about the drinks, not so much the food. It’s the perfect place [...]

Centennial Dining

We had romantic intentions of hosting a unique event under the twinkling stars on a balmy summer evening. [...]
