The Villa Cafe presents a thoughtfully curated three-course vegetarian meal crafted from donated ingredients — a night that showcases manaakitanga and culinary flair.

What to Expect: On the Night

  • A delicious three-course vegetarian meal crafted from donated ingredients
  • The option to purchase local wine or craft beer to enjoy with your meal
  • Choose to dine privately with friends or whānau, or opt for an Everybody Eats seat at the table and connect with new faces

This isn’t just dinner—it’s community, connection, and doing good with every bite.

Dine for Good: A Fundraising Event with Purpose

This is a Dine for Good event part of a movement using food as a force for good. We invite our diners to join our pay-it-forward model, with a recommended minimum koha of $40 per person, collected on the night.

Your $40 contribution directly funds an Everybody Eats family dining voucher, distributed through our community partner Wellington Citizens Advice Bureau Budgeting Services. Each voucher gives a whānau doing it tough the gift of sharing a beautifully prepared meal, quality time together, and the simple joy of a worry-free night out—something that’s increasingly out of reach in today’s economy.
