Winter Supperclub Series - My Mothers Kitchen x Vondel

Ethiopian-born chef Yeshi Desta is bringing her vibrant, signature flavours to the North Shore for three exclusive nights. The creative force behind the beloved pop-up My Mother’s Kitchen, Yeshi has been honing her craft in Aotearoa and abroad since she can remember—and now, she’s sharing her African soul food at Vondel in Devonport.

Recently returned from a trip back home where she picked up more of her mothers recipes, Yeshi will lovingly prepare and serve each dish slowly throughout the evening, encouraging guests to slow down and savour the experience. The Vondel team will be on hand with a selection of drinks on offer to complement the meal.

Running every Wednesday in June, these events are not to be missed. If one date doesn’t suit, be sure to secure your spot for another!

Winter Supperclub Series - Zaitoon x Vondel

Palestinian-born chef Nehad Albatniji is bringing his vibrant, signature flavours to the North Shore for four exclusive nights this July 2025.

The Gaza native, now Tamaki Makaurau resident, brings his beautiful food to the people of Aotearoa both through his brick and mortar store in Manukau, Zaitoon, and his catering business simply titled Nehad catering. This winter, we're lucky to have him skipping over the bridge to share his love for Palestinian cuisine with us in Devonport.

The menu will change over the 4 date residency - follow our social media channels to keep up to date! The dinners will be along one big banquet table and served sharing style - the way family meals used to be! Due to the nature of dining there is a maximum 30 tickets available with each date.
