Eat what you can’t see

Step into a world where blindfolds are in vogue and darkness is the main course. At Dining in The Dark, dining takes a thrilling twist as you savour your meal in pitch-black darkness. By removing your sense of sight, your other senses are heightened, allowing you to fully appreciate the flavours, textures, and aromas of the food.

Don't worry; you won't need night-vision goggles! Let your taste buds take centre stage as you navigate your way through an intriguing symphony of flavours, where every bite is an unexpected surprise. The best part? The concept not only offers a unique dining adventure but also raises awareness about blindness and encourages empathy.

A peaceful retreat in a green oasis

Escape the bustling city and immerse yourself in the tranquillity of the Royal Botanic Garden. Instead of a traditional picnic, why not indulge in a gourmet hamper filled with an array of delectable treats? The Botanic Gardens Restaurant offers this unique dining experience where you can enjoy a leisurely picnic on the picturesque lawns, surrounded by stunning flora and fauna. Sip champagne as you savour each bite amidst the vibrant colours of nature!

Get sharky

For a truly one-of-a-kind dining experience, immerse yourself in an underwater wonderland at SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium. If you thought you’ve seen it all, rethink! Here, you can dine with sharks, stingrays, and other mesmerising marine creatures. Be mesmerised by the underwater spectacle as you savour a delectable meal. It's a dining experience that will leave you with a fish tale to tell and a newfound appreciation for your dining companions. On a side note: if you can’t find that perfect first date spot, it doesn’t get more fin-tastic than this one!

Go sky high for an appetite

Why settle for ordinary when you can dine like a high-flying epicurean? Buckle up and take off on a dining adventure with Sydney Seaplanes. Soar above the magnificent coastline, feeling like a superstar in your own personal foodie movie. Touch down at an idyllic waterfront restaurant where scrumptious dishes and spectacular views collide. It's a multi-sensory feast – literally!

Dining on top of the world

Fancy a dinner with a side of adrenaline? Scale the Harbour Bridge, channel your inner daredevil, and take in the jaw-dropping views. Once your pulse has returned to normal, descend to the BridgeClimb base for a well-deserved gourmet extravaganza. As the sun sets and paints the sky with hues of gold and pink, you'll be raising your glass to the perfect recipe: a dash of adventure, a pinch of romance, and a generous serving of deliciousness!
