Looking for that elusive combination; your love for fine fare, fauna and fundraising?

Whether you’re a food fanatic, an animal aficionado, a fan of flora or a philanthropic devotee, this event provides bite for all.

Melbourne kitchen favourite George Calombaris is your tour guide through this adventure which takes residence in the lush surroundings of the world renowned, Melbourne Zoo.

Calombaris brings to the table restaurant royalty in the form of celebrated chefs – Matt Moran (Aria), Shane Dehlia (Maha), Travis McAuley (Hellenic Republic), Philippe Mouchel (PM24) and Adriano Zumbo (Patisserie), who will plate up five courses of delish dishes, that are sure to please even the fussiest palate.

Expect an inner sanctum dining experience that’ll have you well watered with matched wines and be serenaded by music from the Fleetwood Mac Tribute Band.

This feline feast is not only November’s definitive social occasion but an all-important fundraiser that will provide much needed support to Zoos Victoria as they toil to fight wildlife extinction, in Australia and all over the world.

Take a walk and dine on the wild side.
