Overview
Why not round out this month with a lively and intimate dining experience as Donde Mama, a mother-daughter duo from Colombia, teams up with Mauritian restaurant Manzé to celebrate Colombian Caribbean culture and food on Sunday, August 31, with their event Flavours at Manzé.
Donde Mama, who are known for their catering that showcases the food of their hometown, Cartagena, are teaming up with social enterprise Welcome Merchant for their first sit-down dinner in Melbourne. Welcome Merchant collaborates with refugees, former refugees or asylum seekers by promoting businesses and artists, connecting communities and working to break down cultural barriers. The Manzé team have said "It's [their] privilege to provide a space for [Donde Mama] to share their warmth, culture and amazing food."
The evening is set to be a joyful celebration of Colombian traditions and food. The set menu includes dishes that celebrate Colombia such as green plantain mashed with cheese and pork crackers, quail egg arepas, beef roasted in a sweet sauce, black coconut rice with raisins, and cassava cheesecake to finish.
There are two sittings available, at 6pm and 8pm. Proceeds from the event will go towards supporting Donde Mama and Welcome Merchant, so grab a ticket for $85, and be quick so you don't miss out.
