WRAP

A Zero-Waste Dining Experience with Chef Johnny Hasan

The Park House - Riverbank

Root to Stem is an intimate after-hours dining experience presented by WRAP in collaboration with Chef Johnny Hasan (Patris) and Est., set within the immersive surrounds of the Taking Shape exhibition.Across two exclusive evenings, guests are invited to gather around a shared long table for a Mediterranean-inspired tasting menu that transforms humble ingredients into something unexpectedly refined. Thoughtfully using every part of the ingredient, from citrus rind to vegetable skin, the menu reimagines overlooked elements through elegant, produce-driven dishes designed to surprise and delight. The experience offers a contemporary reflection on sustainability, hospitality and care, revealing how thoughtful cooking can elevate even the simplest ingredients and minimise waste in our kitchens. Set amongst the artworks of Taking Shape, guests will dine within the exhibition after dark, experiencing the works in an entirely new atmosphere while reflecting on the shared ideas of transformation and creativity explored across both art, design and food.At the conclusion of the evening, Hasan will speak to his culinary practice, cultural influences and commitment to low-waste cooking, offering insight into the traditions and techniques that shape his approach.Tickets include a multi-course tasting menu and a drink on arrival, with additional beverages available for purchase. Vegetarian options and dietary requirements can be accommodated.Friday May 22ndFirst Seating 6:00pm- 7:30pm | Second Seating 8:15pm - 9:30pmSaturday May 23rdFirst Seating: 6pm - 7:30pm | Second Seating: 8:15pm - 9:30pm—LocationThe Park House – Riverbank631 Victoria Street Abbotsford VIC 3067Presented by Chef Johnny Hasan of Patris, WRAP and Est.This event is part of Melbourne Design Week 2026, an initiative of the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria.Please note each ticket sale directly supports the event delivery.
