Guest Chefs at The Ref Dinner Series | Shimpei Hatanaka

Join us for our second Guest Chefs at The Ref Dinner Series!
For the month of August, some of Sydney’s best chefs will once again be taking over the Refettorio, plating up bespoke three-course fine dining experiences based on our gourmet, zero-food waste philosophy. Proceeds of each ticket sold will provide 6 people in need a nourishing three-course meal, served during our daytime service.

Guests will enjoy a beautiful 3 course vegetarian menu and accompanying non-alcoholic beverages, curated and prepared by Shimpei Hatanaka of Saké Restaurant & Bar, using OzHarvest rescued ingredients.

Born in Japan and raised in Australia, Shimpei Hatanaka has been working in kitchens since the age of 14 and has spent over a decade working with Saké. After cooking alongside his father at Shiki Japanese Restaurant in the Rocks, Shimpei went on to earn his stripes at Sushi-e in Sydney and Nobu Atlantis in the Bahamas. His culinary philosophy is to cook the flavours he enjoys eating, or dishes he has cooked for others, , rather than replicating dishes from elsewhere.

Tickets are available for two seating times, 6.00pm and 6.45pm.

Tickets purchased in a single transaction will be considered one booking, and guests will be seated together.
To ensure that everyone gets access to Refettorio OzHarvest Sydney – bookings will be limited to 10 seats.
