Food made Fun!
For the people behind Alemré Hospitality Group, creating a food business that is both fun and authentic was important – after all, two of life’s simplest yet great pleasures include enjoying food in good company.
Dubbed as ‘the home of Brisbane fun dining’, Alemré Group, which is celebrating its first birthday this year, is behind some of our city’s most beloved restaurants, including Spanish favourite Olé Restaurant, Vici Italian, Mucho Mexicano, and Downtown Istanbul, with a new venue set to open in the new year (all we can say at this stage is the focus will be on Argentinian style dining and chargrilled meat – lots of it!).
“We thought it was time to showcase our dining group under the one brand,” General Manager Brandon Orr says. “We have been serving customers for over a decade through our fun and relaxed dining venues and have evolved as a group, and we now want to share who we are and where we are going.”
Alemré Venues
For anyone who’s a Brissy local, chances are you’ve dined at the flagship venue Olé, in South Bank. The Spanish restaurant and bar – headed by Executive Group Chef Adam Starr – is known for its irresistible tapas (the paella is out of this world), delicious sangria, and relaxed atmosphere. P.S. Did you know it was the first sangria bar in Brisbane?
Alemré Group is also home to Vici Italian, which serves some of Brisbane’s best wood-fired pizza and Italian food. Word on Little Stanley Street is their breakfast menu is also top tier – their Panino alla Verdure, which is made up of grilled halloumi, avocado, zucchini fritter, fried egg, and cheese, is what breakfast dreams are made of.
‘Mucho’ food and ‘mucho’ drinks is the mantra for Mexican restaurant Mucho Mexicano, which has everything from tacos to quesadillas (yes, there is a dedicated margarita bar, too – insider tip: we’d recommend popping in on a Monday for $15 margaritas all day long!), while Downtown Istanbul in Hawthorne has earned a reputation for dishing up mouth-watering homemade Turkish-inspired bites.
Alemré Summer Brunch Now On!
The hospitality group has gone from strength to strength since forming & has plenty to look forward to. All restaurants currently have their brunch menus launched for the summer holidays – with prices starting from $79. Explore set menus with two hours of free-flowing drinks across all their South Bank and Hawthorne venues.
