August’s Unforgettable Secret Dinner in Hoi An
This past August, we had the pleasure of hosting a unique Secret dinner featuring Chef La Thua An of Da Nang’s esteemed The Temptation Restaurant. For one night only, Chef An and his hand-picked team stepped out of their renowned restaurant and into a hidden venue in Hoi An for a remarkable evening.
This special Secret dinner welcomed just 10 guests for a luxurious 4-course menu, crafted exclusively for the event and paired with exceptional wines from French Connection Wines. Although this unique experience won’t be repeated, SecretEATS regularly hosts exclusive dinners in Hoi An and Da Nang, so stay tuned for more culinary adventures.
While we can’t reveal all the Secrets of our magical evening out, we’ll share a bit about this Secret experience since it (sadly) won’t happen again.
Don’t worry - we host our Secret Dinners in Hoi An and Da Nang regularly so you CAN catch another one.
Sunset Arrivals & Welcome Drinks at Our Secret Venue
As the sun set over the picturesque Coco River, guests arrived at Chez Janine, one of Hoi An’s hidden gems. They were greeted with a glass of fine wine and delectable canapés in the lush private gardens of our secret venue.
Guests from France, the US, Belgium, Vietnam, and Japan mingled in the charming courtyard while Chef La Thua An and his team prepared a sensational 4-course menu in a home kitchen setting, creating a memorable dining experience.
A Guided Culinary Journey: Food & Wine Pairing
Our host for the evening, Adrien, owner of Chez Janine, shared his passion for wine and guided us through a culinary journey.
