Dinners With A Difference Lu Mare Kitchen Takeover by Mr Crown

Dinners with a Difference presents a one-night-only kitchen takeover at Lu Mare, where MasterChef alum Gill Dinh fuses her Southeast Asian flavours with the restaurant's traditional Italian menu for a shared set feast. Hosted by Gretel Van-Lane on Thursday, 30 April 2026, from 6:30pm to 9:30pm, the evening centres on facilitated conversations exploring the theme of belonging and combating loneliness. Guests enjoy a glass of sparkling on arrival, a multi-course menu with dietary options, and an exclusive reservation of the coastal restaurant overlooking Wollongong harbour. This event fosters deep connections through guided discussions on personal experiences of home, community, and inclusion.
