Baduzzi show their love for Australia this Valentine's Day

Auckland restaurant, Baduzzi, will be sending love to Australia this Valentine's Day with a special 'Love is Blind' menu, with $25 from each dinner booking going to the Red Cross' efforts to support communities impacted by the Australian Bushfires. 

Baduzzi will be making an exception to its 'no evening bookings' policy for this special Valentine's Day event, and can cater to vegetarian, vegan, gluten and dairy free customers as long as they call ahead to arrange. 

Owner Michael Dearth was inspired to put on the special menu after feeling helpless watching the tragedy in Australia unfold, and figured the best way for he and his team to help is to do what they do best. 

“People can be cynical about the romantic side of Valentine’s Day, but we liked the idea of celebrating universal love - especially love for fellow human beings in hard times. It’s going to be a fun night with some great silent auction prizes and the chefs are really excited about creating this special menu; we’ve called it 'Love is Blind' as it will be a total surprise on the night," he says.

First seating is available anytime from a 5.30-6.30pm start (two-hour dining time) and second seating is anytime from 8pm (no time limit). To make a booking, call 09 309 9339 or click here to reserve online.
