Event Details

Vietnamese flavours, culture and art shine bright in Sydney's Royal Botanic Garden, in a sensory dining experience shaped by chef Luke Nguyen's culinary journey.

Transforming the Garden's breathtaking Botanic House, From Saigon to Sydney begins with guests arriving via tuk tuk, disembarking beneath a majestic Moreton Bay Fig littered with glowing red lanterns.

Pairing ancient culinary traditions with modern techniques, Nguyen's banquette both honours Vietnamese flavours and innovates, while showcasing the finest NSW Asian suppliers, producers and artisans.

Known for using native Australian ingredients unconventionally, Nguyen's dishes will surprise and delight, as will the night's entertainment. Throughout the evening, dragon dancers and live performers take over, with musicians blending traditional Vietnamese folk with contemporary sounds.

A celebration of Vietnamese culture, movement and storytelling, From Saigon to Sydney sees Nguyen continue to connect heritage and place to modern Australian dining.
