4. Feeling adventurous? Sign up for a unique Secret Foodie event in Sydney. Buy your tickets in advance — but without knowing where you’ll be eating or who else will be there. You won’t find out until two hours in advance, via a text or email. Part of the dress code: a mask for each diner, to add to the theme.

You can find a Secret Foodie event one to two times a month. These sell out quickly, so sign up for the newsletter and book quickly.
