dinner with books - aug 2026

Our intimate dinner gatherings are an opportunity for readers to connect, discover new books, and share stories. Each dinner guest will receive a hand-selected mystery book based on their reading preferences and profile. In addition, we're inviting each guest to bring a book to participate in a group book exchanges. This means everyone will go home with at least two new books to enjoy! 📚

Tickets are $680 HKD (gentle friends get 20% off!), inclusive of a family-style sharing menu for dinner with one complementary drink, one mystery book gift, and one exchanged book. We’re also donating 10% of ticket proceeds directly to Mind Hong Kong. ☺️

We've been hosting 'a dinner with books' in partnership with Crushed Wines since Dec 2024. 🍷
