Event description

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.

Tickets for good, not greed Humanitix dedicates 100% of profits from booking fees to charity

Located on Crown Street in Surry Hills, Refettorio OzHarvest Sydney is an Australian-first, social impact collaboration between OzHarvest and world renowned chef, Massimo Bottura and his not-for-profit organisation, Food for Soul.
Born out of a shared vision to nurture the well-being of people and the health of the planet, founders Ronni Kahn AO and Massimo Bottura have created a community hub welcoming those in need, to feel at home and enjoy a nourishing meal.

The Refettorio model is designed to meet the needs of those experiencing food insecurity and provide a positive experience for guests. The Refettorio embraces Food for Soul’s guiding principles, value of hospitality, power of beauty, and collective ideas to provide a dignified dining experience for Sydney’s most vulnerable, alongside actions that protect the environment and foster social inclusion.
Based on our zero-waste philosophy, rescued ingredients are transformed by OzHarvest chefs into gourmet vegetarian meals with the menu changing weekly.

      "We welcome our guests with open arms and big smiles, and food is always served with dignity and respect."
  Ronni Kahn AO
  OzHarvest Founder & CEO
