Refettorio OzHarvest

Dining with dignity at a community oasis

This social impact collaboration with world-renowned chef Massimo Bottura, finally opened its doors in February.  Refettorio OzHarvest is a unique community space now serving over 300 guests a week a free nourishing three course meal made with love.

The project has evolved to include Neighbourhood Dinners in the evenings, giving the wider public a chance to experience the Refettorio and raise valuable funds to help keep our doors open. We were thrilled to be recognised at the Good Food Guide Awards as the winner of the ‘Food for Good’ Award.

To grow our impact and foster community connections, the charities we support often meet here describing it as ‘our happy place’ it’s also used to support OzHarvest education programs.

The half an hour I spend here transforms the quality of the rest of my week. Staff welcome me and treat everyone with dignity and compassion. I don’t have words to thank you.
