Refugee Chef Dinner Banquet - FULLY BOOKED, WAITLIST ONLY

**Enjoy a delicious dinner banquet with a different cuisine each time and support refugees!** CURRENT CONFIRMED ATTENDEES (incl. outside Meetup): 16 Join a small group and enjoy a tasty three-course banquet at a bohemian cafe, Parliament on King. You’ll sample food from the homelands of asylum seekers and refugees (think Burmese/Rohingya, Iraqi, Iranian, Palestinian, Nepali, Sri Lankan, Ugandan and more). Each dinner banquet has a different chef and menu, and we often keep it a surprise until the night. Your hosts will invite the chefs to share their stories, and you’re more than welcome to ask them questions about the food they’ve prepared and their stories of how they have come to Australia. The dinner is hosted in the cosy front room of Parliament on King. Parliament on King’s mission is simple: to make lovely food. But in doing this, they address the barriers to economic, social and cultural participation that asylum seekers, refugees and recent arrivals to Australia face, by providing real work, training and community. All proceeds from this event go towards funding Parliament on King’s important work. **What we provide:** * 3-course meal (dependent on the menu) * Exclusive use of an intimate venue * Licensed venue with a range of alcohol and drinks available for purchase * Photos and further resources will be shared after the experience **Price:** $80 Check out photos of previous Refugee Chef Dinners and our other activities on Instagram at [@localsaucetours](http://localsaucetours/) [See reviews from past dinners on our website.](https://localsaucetours.com.au/tour/refugee-chef-dinner-banquet/) **Please note:** Register here and also book on our website (https://localsaucetours.com.au/tour/refugee-chef-dinner-banquet/).
