A Mexican-Inspired Culinary Experience

Step into the dark and discover flavour in a whole new way.

Dark Dining returns with a bold new chapter at The Golfy on Lord Howe Island, featuring guest celebrity chef Josh Lewis of La Casita. Known for his vibrant, produce-driven cooking, Josh brings his signature approach to a specially designed four course Mexican-inspired menu created exclusively for this immersive dining event.

In a communal, darkened setting, your senses of taste, smell and texture take the lead. Without the distraction of sight, each dish reveals itself gradually — encouraging curiosity, conversation and a deeper connection to the food in front of you.

Expect a playful, behind-the-scenes look into the mind of a working kitchen as Chef Josh shares the inspiration, techniques and stories behind each course. This is not a traditional restaurant experience — it’s raw, interactive, and deliciously unpredictable.

Please note this is a communal dining experience and individual tables are not available.

Experience warning: Dark Dining offers an unfiltered glimpse into a professional kitchen as dishes are explained in real time — strong language may be used.

Come curious, come hungry and prepare to experience Mexican flavours like never before.

We’ll see you at The Golfy from 6pm. Please allow till 10pm for the full dining experience!
