• Food

  Ichi Ni

  Ichi Ni happily and openly admit that they poached the amazingly talented chefs from the highly successful International Japanese restaurant chain Nobu. The dishes served reflect this. Their menu is unique, offering a tapas style way of eating to make sure you sample all their wonderful dishes. The restaurant's ambiance can't be overlooked either, with their dim lighting and traditional Japanese colour scheme, it's the perfect place to enjoy a romantic evening or celebrate a birthday.

  Tapas: $9+
  Mains: $20+
  Location: 12 The Esplanade, St Kilda
  Ph: 03 9534 1212

  Lille Fro Foundation

  The Lille Fro Foundation works at the grassroots level with the poorest of the poor. With families and communities who are difficult to reach and hard to help because of their geographical isolation or the conditions in which they live.

  Their programs are located in northern India, in the shadow of the Himalayas where remote villages are cut off for 6 to 8 months during the harsh winter months, when it is impossible to grow fresh food and children cannot get to school.

  They invest in education and training, one of the best ways to eradicate poverty, they support the poorest of the poor living in extreme conditions in some of the remotest places on the planet & they work with local communities to help them access resources and skills to build sustainable futures.
