Restaurants Create ‘Palestine Plates’

More than 130 restaurants around Ireland are creating Palestinian-inspired dishes to raise money for charities working in Gaza.

“One Plate for Palestine” sees restaurants and other establishments add a dish to their menus, with all proceeds from the sale of those dishes going to two Irish-Palestinian charities - Gaza Go Bragh and TEA Collective.

The initiative was started by Cork-based chefs Beverly Matthews and Barbara Nealon, who said they “felt frustrated and helpless” and wanted to bring the hospitality industry together to make a difference.

“We thought maybe 20 restaurants would sign up, but now we have more than 130,” Beverly Matthews told RTÉ News.
