guardian.co.uk: It's not often that I take my seat at a restaurant out of breath and disoriented but the Secret Restaurant prides itself on the punter's total immersion into the setting - on the night I visited, that was Vienna, 1946. Having whispered a password in a Frenchman's ear and been led a scrambling chase through tunnels, over duckboards and up flight after flight of freezing stairs, the diner finally finds themselves in a candlelit loft. A collaboration between the well-loved Secret Cinema and St John, Fergus Henderson's nose-to-tail eatery, guests are sworn to secrecy on the exact location and the film being shown, but it's an unforgettable experience.
