A popular Indian and Bengali Restaurant located on Edinburgh's Southside have pledged to donate 100% of their proceeds to the relief effort currently in operation following the severe flooding in Bangladesh. A fundraising evening will be held on Tuesday 16th October 2007.

Owner of Voujon Restaurant, Salim Miah commented: "This year's floods in India and Bangladesh are the worst the country has seen. We are proud to say we are helping in the relief effort and hope our customers will support us."

Voujon are offering diners a set three course meal, including a bottle of wine, from which all of the proceeds will be donated to the fundraising appeal.

Relief workers in Bangladesh have said the region's seasonal monsoons and rains have brought the worst flooding in nearly a decade. Flooding has destroyed housing, cut off roads, food and medical supplies and contaminated water sources for millions of people. It is estimated that as a result of the floods across the Asian continent, nearly 3,000 people have lost their lives and as many as six million have been displaced.

A set menu for two will be available in the restaurant for £45, including a three course meal and a bottle of house wine, from which 100% of income will be donated to the fundraising appeal. Terms and Conditions apply.

To book a table at Voujon please call 0131 667 5046, indicating you wish to have the set menu for the Floods Appeal.
