Melbourne folks, here's another Feast for Good you cannot miss! Together with Chef Seb Pasinetti (OKO Rooftop Cafe, ex Chin Chin) and Egyptian Tummies Founder, Nada Gamaleldin, we invite you to feast with us a la Cleopatra and Anthony's style. Join us for an evening of delicious Italian and Egyptian food.

We're also donating $5 from each ticket to two charities - Djirra, a First Nations led organisation that provides legal support and PARA Foundation, a charity that supports newly-arrived people from Gaza.

For $85, you'll get a 3-course dinner AND plenty of great karma. There will be vegetarian options too. You can also choose from one of the two sittings - 5pm-6.30pm or 7pm-8.30pm.  For concession card holders, please email us on hello@welcomemerchant.com for your discount code.
