What you’ll do
Enjoy a delicious dinner banquet with a different cuisine each time and support refugees!
NOTE: To stay up to date on any spots that come available or to be the first to know about our dates in 2024, please book a “waitlist” spot for 15 December.
Join a small group and enjoy a tasty three course banquet at bohemian cafe Parliament on King. You’ll sample food from the homelands of asylum seekers and refugees (think Burmese/Rohingya, Iraqi, Iranian, Palestinean, 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. Vegetarians, vegans and guests with other dietary requirements are more than welcome – just let us know in advance.
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 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.
