The menu: Nepal fundraiser

The Menu’s great compadre, chef Kevin O’Toole, of Dublin’s Chameleon Restaurant has devised a wonderful fundraiser for Nepal, in Smock Alley Theatre, Temple Bar (May 24), an informal dining experience featuring curry, drinks and dancing. 

O’Toole will be joined by the excellent Shamzuri Hanifa, of The Cottage, Carrick-on-Shannon, and Lina Dhakal Gautam, of Monty’s of Kathmandu, in Dublin, who will cook a Nepalese starter. 100 guests are seated at three long tables and the main course is three giant pots of curry.

A raffle for some stunning prizes includes dinner for two plus accommodation at Neven Maguire’s MacNean Bistro, and, as befits any event involving the bould O’Toole, there will be flamboyant drinking and copious dancing a-plenty to sounds provided by four of Dublin’s top DJs. Tickets €100 each, and the aim is to raise €10,000.
