Shannon Martinez at Za Za Ta Bar & Kitchen

Overview

Located within Ovolo The Valley, Za Za Ta Bar & Kitchen already serves up a cruelty-free menu, with the restaurant switching to plant-based dishes back in 2020. For one night during this year's Brisbane Good Food Month, it's also welcoming in one of Australia's best-known names in the vegetarian space for an evening of vegetable-focused Middle Eastern cuisine.

Owner of Melbourne's Smith & Daughters and Smith & Deli, and also the creative culinary partner at the Victorian capital's new Lona Misa restaurant, Shannon Martinez has built up quite a name for herself — and she's bringing her skills to Brissie for one night on Wednesday, July 28.

Alongside Za Za Ta's Israeli-born executive chef Roy Ner, Martinez will be overseeing a plant-based dinner — paired with drinks, naturally — with tickets costing $160 per person.
