Ruby’s List and Dineaid
Ruby’s List has aligned with DineAid to bring you and your customers a wonderful opportunity for your community.
Dineaid is a charitable initiative undertaken by the New Zealand restaurant community to give a helping hand to New Zealanders in need. Thanks to participating restaurants when a customer buys from “Ruby’s List” they’re putting more than just food on their table, as 5% of their total order is donated by us to City Missions in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch, who provide care in nearly 140 food bank locations throughout New Zealand.
With almost 100,000 New Zealander’s facing “low food security” working collectively we’re able to raise much needed funds for families in New Zealand, as each year DineAid gives 100% of all donations to City Mission Food Banks.

If you run a restaurant do contact us at admin@rubyslist.co.nz to be apart of our growing national participation. In exchange you will receive the wonderful benefits of our local and national promotions, inclusion in our interactive website and part of our Social Media family. In return you’ll see an increase in your brand awareness and equally important - you’ll have a positive impact on your community
Thank you in advance for your support - Ruby’s List

Ragu Restaurant & Wine Bar - Auckland
Ragù is an Italian term for a slow cooked sauce, which is traditionally served with pasta. The word is the phonetical Italian spelling of the French ragout, a noun derived from ragoûter (to revive the taste).
Ragu being of the Italian spelling is what we strive to achieve.

On the weekends we encourage people to experience the Italian style dining where you meet up with the whole family or group of friends for a relaxed get together and enjoy great food and beverage but more importantly each others company. We have a kids corner for the well behaved young members of the family to enjoy themselves, while the mums, dads, aunties, uncles and friends catch up over a coffee or vino.
In the evening the kids corner disappears and we transform into a neighbourhood dining room. You can enjoy yourselves with small plates and dinner in the bar area or at a cosy table, or just relax with a wine by the fireplace. The service is that of a local where you will be looked after like a friend popping in for a catch up or impromptu dinner, nothing is ever a problem as we are now part of your extended family.
Ragu is owned by Mandy Lusk, Eugene Gibson and Steve McKenzie. Combined they have more than 50 years hospitality experience, and love to share their passion for the industry. It is a place they have put together for the neighbourhood families, friends and anyone who enjoys great food, wine and service.
