Been here a number of times, but tonight was another level. The burrata with figs and hazelnut cream was heaven on a plate! The beetroot ravioli with parmesan cream sauce was complex and earthy, quite phenomenal!!! The eye fillet dish was overflowing with robust flavours. Everything was faultless. Complements to the chef.
This place just keeps getting better! The flavours and creativity is nothing other than brilliant! The pasta is made fresh and is sensational. The wait staff are attentive, friendly and have personality! The wine list is always on point. Hands down my favourite Resteraunt is Brisbane!
What is not to love about this fabulous space, the food, the wine, the staff. After many many afternoon strolls that ended up here. I have to say it is my favourite New Farm location. Whether we are after just a casual drink, a coffee (definately with their amazing Macarons) or a more substantial dinner this place nails it. The bar food is delicous and generous in portion size. The staff behind the bar are always friendly and helpful. And not to mention the awesome restaurant section staff. Best maître d, he's a gem. Add the benefits of the live music, comedy, art or outside area and it really is winner. Thanks Bar Alto - you rock.
Yet again, a perfect meal. My husband & I saw a show at the Powerhouse & had dinner and drinks at Bar Alto first. Everyone knew we had a show to see and made sure we ate with plenty of time to spare. I promise myself I'll try a new dish but I'm yet to stray from the Strozzapreti. My favourite meal anywhere, by far. Thanks for the consistently amazing taste of this meal! Please never ever take it off the menu �
Bar Alto just love it - food superb the best chef Saj an inspiration - love his food ���
Love this place but I cried when the mussells were not on the menu
Why ???
One of the best Italian Restaurants in Brisbane also a fabulous location and outlook. Love�all of the food on the menu! Staff are amazing particularly Ben the Manager who heads up a very professional team. Advisable to book as it's always busy �
Great 👍🏻food. Friendly staff. Handy locality , when seeing a show at the Powerhouse. The Lamb was to die for. 👍🏻🥘😋
How excellent can you get? Service is professional and seamless, food is modern Italian with ideal freshness and herbal flavour - just like Mama would have made full of love and slow cooked goodness.
The setting is relaxing and close to nature.
Words fail me - my favourite restaurant in Brisbane! Many many thanks to the wait staff AND the kitchen staff for their efforts to provide many wonderful meals.
Above opinion based on many visits - without Bar Alto missing a beat!
The food was delicious. Our waitress with the Red glasses on was not only beautiful on the outside but inside as well. She was so gracious and worldly with our crazy funny group. We did tell her that Kevin and I came from Kingaroy and she should come to Kingaroy one day and sample the peanuts. They are the best.........a bit like Bar Alto!!!
Thankyou for the most delicious food today and the service from our waiter Tom was wonderful.
Great service and delicious food! We arrived at 2.50pm and kitchen closed at 3pm but they were happy to accommodate, which was fantastic. All of our meals were amazing and our waiter was friendly and attentive. Also, love the Powerhouse! It's a fantastic venue. We'll definitely be back.
Bar Alto at the Powerhouse is the most relaxed and beautiful place to go and have a drink and a snack or a light meal. A lovely breeze, the Brisbane river, lots of room on the huge deck overlooking the river, never too crowded, and easy to get to. Courteous, friendly and polite staff, great food. And housed in our wonderful Powerhouse. Highly recommend any day of the week.
A good selection of drinks and a little bit of bar food while you wait. Not much seating though so be prepared to stand and munch
Thankyou after my gaffe yesterday your staff still made it a fantastic evening to celebrate my birthday. Hats off to the chef too. Will be back soon to enjoy your service. To say it was a fantastic evening is an understatement.
Wonderful location on the river with plenty of outdoor seating. Had a bite to eat before a show and the pizza was tasty. Not a huge selection of beers on tap, service was quick though. The Italian sausage pizza was a bit dry and flavorless but the prosciutto pizza was yummy. Overall a good place to come of you’re already at be powerhouse
Yeah like so this is a nice place. Great view. Confident menu. I would say their wine list is a highlight, and they sure have a lot of pigeons a lot (though none on the menu as at May 2019!)
I went here with my daughter and my wife. Pleasingly, they did not have a microwave to heat up my daughter’s food, which was mildly inconvenient while admirable in that they Cook Their Food Well.
The peppers were a recommendation from the waitress and were quite good. I don’t like croquettes, but their salt cod croquettes held up very nicely. I thought the octopus was a bit tough - it was probably the most disappointing dish. Both pasta mains held up, though the gnocchi was a touch too delicate.
Good service, good atmosphere. Enjoy!
