PSSST! Want a hint about the best places to dine in Asia? First we had Secret Retreats - hidden places to stay in Asia - and now, adding the final piece to the collection, it is proud to announce the new label, Secret Tables.

Across Asia, in each Secret Retreat location, hosts continue to scout small, magical places, unknown by most. Some of these places of curiosity include restaurants, handpicked for unique character and passion. There you will find cuisine with a twist, cuisine direct from the heart. 

Inspiring chefs creating original, non-traditional dishes and unusual menus using local produce. Food that is creative and honest. Atmosphere with personality and warmth. Core values that focus on sustainability, fair wages and career paths for young, local people. Independent, chef-owners with pride in their business, and the style and taste to reflect the true culture and essence of the land.
