SecretEATS creates intimate private dining experiences, secret dinners, cocktail experiences and wine tastings in extraordinary spaces around the world.
From hidden courtyards and historic homes to private chef studios, vineyards and clandestine bars, we bring together exceptional food, local hosts and curious travelers for experiences you won't find on an ordinary restaurant menu.
Since 2013, SecretEATS has been creating unique culinary experiences for people who want to discover a destination through its food, people and hidden places.
Every SecretEATS experience is thoughtfully curated around its setting, its food and the people who bring it to life. The location might be revealed in advance—or it might remain a secret until you arrive.
What you can expect is always the same: exceptional food, genuine local connections and a story worth telling.
Whether you’re seeking a romantic private dinner in Hoi An Old Town, a secret cocktail tour in Da Nang, or social dining in South Africa, every experience is curated exclusively for foodies and curious travelers.
Intimate dinners, private chef experiences and secret dining in extraordinary spaces.
Discover exceptional food in historic homes, private kitchens, hidden gardens and unexpected venues—places you wouldn't find on your own and food you wouldn’t find on an ordinary restaurant menu.
Discover hidden bars, talented mixologists and the stories behind each city's cocktail culture.
From intimate cocktail tastings to private mixology experiences, SecretEATS takes you beyond an ordinary night out and into spaces most visitors never discover.
Go beyond the traditional tasting room.
Meet winemakers, discover remarkable settings and explore the stories behind the wines through intimate, curated wine tastings and private experiences.
Make your next gathering something people actually remember and be talking about for years to come.
SecretEATS creates bespoke private dining, cocktail, culinary and cultural experiences for celebrations, corporate gatherings, destination events, special occasions and groups looking for something completely different.
The best culinary experiences aren't only about what's on the plate.
They're about where you are, who you're with and what happens next.
A secret location.
A remarkable chef.
A local host with a story to tell.
A table you wouldn't otherwise find.
A bottle of wine you didn't know existed.
A cocktail mixed somewhere you never expected.
That's what makes SecretEATS different.
We bring together food, place, people and discovery to create experiences that are deliberately difficult to categorize—and even harder to forget.
From our beginnings in Cape Town in 2013, SecretEATS has grown into a collection of intimate dining and culinary experiences across destinations around the world.

Today, SecretEATS continues to create experiences that surprise and delight guests from around the world.
