It’s all about surprise and discovery – guests don’t know the exact menu, venue, or even sometimes the chef until shortly before the event, which adds a layer of anticipation and adventure to the evening. The experiences are typically hosted in secret or unconventional venues around Joburg (from urban spaces to private estates), and focus on bringing people together over thoughtfully prepared gourmet food, curated wine pairings and handcrafted cocktails in an intimate, social setting.
What does SecretEATS offer?
Offerings vary, but typically include multi‑course dinners (usually four to five courses) crafted by acclaimed local chefs using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Guests can choose between social dining or private experiences for small groups, often hosted on weekday evenings.SecretCinema
Beyond these signature dinners, SecretEATS has expanded into immersive events like SecretCinema, a themed evening that pairs secret cocktails and gourmet canapés with a pre‑release blockbuster screening in a private cinema. They’ve also introduced themed high-tea experiences, where storytelling, curated décor, and carefully crafted menus come together to create a memorable outing.Book now
