Manaakitanga: A Special Mardi Gras Dinner

Manaakitanga: A Special Mardi Gras Dinner at The Butler

Head Chef Amber Doig and multi-disciplinary artist Arrnott Olssen are combining their creative forces for an incredible celebration of good food, generosity and hospitality on Thursday, 26th February.

Championing their Pacific and queer communities, Chef Amber and Arrnott are collaborating on an exclusive dinner event celebrating friendship, diversity, and Manaakitanga – a Māori and Pasifika concept embodying kindness, support, generosity, and hospitality. This is beautifully expressed through the sharing of food, recognising one another, and taking care of others – but most importantly, ourselves.

Expect a special shared-style menu that honours both their cultures, blending Māori and Pacific flavours with Chef Amber’s boundary pushing fusion flavours. Your $135pp ticket includes the set menu, a cocktail on arrival, and intimate storytelling from your hosts – with a percentage of ticket sales being donated to Qtopia Sydney.
