An Immersive Culinary Experience at Vivid Sydney
Fresh from acclaimed events in Marrakesh, Sicily and Mallorca, New York-based culinary innovators ARLO Communal bring their internationally celebrated immersive dining concept to Sydney for a limited series of unforgettable evenings.
Inspired by The Mint’s Caroline Simpson Library Collection — an extraordinary archive documenting more than 200 years of Australian domestic life, interiors and design — Dream Feast reimagines nostalgic dishes and historical dining traditions through a bold contemporary lens.
The result is an experience that feels both deeply familiar and entirely futuristic.
A Nostalgic Menu Reimagined
Guests can expect a carefully curated menu inspired by iconic Australian culinary history, including playful reinterpretations of:
- Classic Australian Women’s Weekly recipes
- French-inspired vintage dining favourites
- Retro desserts and nostalgic sweets
- Contemporary takes on heritage cuisine
Every course is designed to evoke memory, curiosity and surprise, combining comforting flavours with elevated modern presentation.
Projection Art, Music & Historic Atmosphere
Dream Feast goes far beyond a traditional dinner service. Throughout the evening, The Mint’s grand heritage interiors are transformed through:
- Immersive projection-mapped visual art
- Period-inspired table settings and design elements
- Multi-sensory storytelling experiences
- A live soundtrack curated by Australian-Bengali DJ and creative curator Munasib
The combination of architecture, music, food and digital art creates a dreamlike atmosphere where guests move through history, culture and imagination in a single evening.
A One-Night-Only Style Experience
Presented as part of the Vivid Sydney Food program, Dream Feast is a rare opportunity to experience one of the world’s most innovative immersive dining collectives inside one of Sydney’s most historically significant buildings.
With limited sessions and intimate seating, this exclusive event is expected to be one of the standout culinary experiences of the Vivid Sydney 2026 festival season.
For lovers of food, art, design and immersive culture, Dream Feast offers a spectacular journey through nostalgia, creativity and sensory exploration.
