Good Food
BarAlto
Bar Alto is located at the Brisbane Powerhouse which is a contemporary multi-arts, dining and conference venue nestled on the beautiful banks of Brisbane River beside New Farm Park. The former power station has become a distinct Brisbane landmark, both as a stunning industrial creation and as a hub for everything creative, including theatre, music, comedy, film, visual arts, festivals and ideas.Brisbane Powerhouse opened as an arts centre in 2000 after its 43-year reign as a power station. Bold industrial structures laced with European flair, raw textures and preserved graffiti walls combine to create the perfect artistic space and have earned the building a heritage listing.
The recently refurbished Brisbane Powerhouse precinct ensures a holistic arts and dining experience; Bar Alto, overlooking the Brisbane River, a reconfigured Turbine Platform to constitute a concert stage, and an additional Rooftop Terrace.

OurWine LIST
In an ever changing, frequently confounding, and occasionally silly wine world, Bar Alto takes a somewhat simpler path. The basic ethos that binds the no nonsense list together is that wine should be drunk with food. Regionality is king. Piedmont, Tuscany and Veneto, like the food the focus and small, passionate labels the prize. Backed by a bunch of excellent New World picks it is a list that lends itself to drinking rather that pondering.MeetOur CHEF
Sajith’s cooking experience began in the early nineties with the Accor Hotel Group in Bombay, India, where he worked through the ranks to the position of Chef de partie before leaving India via a stint on the Miami based Carnival Cruise Liners.This took him to the Cayman Islands where he found himself under the tutelage of Chef Stephen Wagner and veteran restaurateur Vico Testori at Restorante Pappagallo.
Here Sajith had the opportunity to work alongside some of Venice’s finest chefs from the famed Cipriyani Hotel who would come to the Caymans in the off season. This experience built on Sajith’s love, knowledge and technique for regional Italian cuisine and would form the basis of his food philosophy.
Sajith worked under Pablo Tordesillas during Bar Alto’s opening and the following three years. This time would teach Sajith the art of combining traditional Italian cooking philosophies with Pablo’s modern techniques, fastidious attention to detail and uncompromising attitude.
In 2009 he took on the position of Head Chef at Bar Alto.
