“Your nose like a delicious slope of cream. And your ears like cream flaps. And your teeth like hard shiny pegs of cream.” Diner en Blanc — like Howard Moon's poem — will have you in all white. But sorry Booshers, the fourth Sydney edition of this event is just for the sophisticated.

Now on five continents, the Diner en Blanc began in Paris just under three decades ago thanks to François Pasquier and friends. This year, around 4000 of Sydney's creme de la creme will once again dress in all white on Saturday, November 28, for the event held at a predictably stunning and highly Instagrammable location that remains secret until the very last moment.

Following an evening of elegance, fine dining and live music, the foodies then pack up their crystal, dinnerware, tables and litter. Like ghosts (white 'n' all), they leave behind no sign of their rendezvous. (But don't get any ideas: a white sheet thrown over your figure will not do for an outfit).

Diner en Blanc guests must either be invited by a member from the previous year, or get on the waiting list for a $43 ticket (+$11.50 membership fee).

Diner en Blanc returns to Sydney on Saturday, November 28 at a mystery location. For more info, check out the website.
