Crab Fest
February is all about sand crab and zucchini fritters, crab gnocchi, crab tortellini and crab on brioche buns at this Brisbane Powerhouse bar.
Overview
Get crabby, Brisbane — and no, we don't mean your mood. When a feast of crab awaits, there's nothing to be cranky about. For the entire month of February 2025, Bar Alto at Brisbane Powerhouse is hosting Crab Fest, aka an excuse to add a heap of dishes featuring the crustacean to its menu.
Opt for the spanner crab maritozzi and you'll be tucking into spanner crab on brioche bun, for instance. For something bite-sized to share, the sand crab and zucchini fritters come in six-piece servings.
Pasta fans have three selections to tempt tastebuds: spanner crab gnocchi with chilli and lemon, spanner crab tortellini with trout caviar, plus sand crab spaghetti alla chitarra to share. The latter pairs a whole sand crab with handcut spaghetti, chilli, garlic, vermentino, cherry tomato and basil, and is only available in servings for two.
Whichever you pick, you'll also be enjoying your crab dishes of choice with the venue's glorious riverside view right up until Friday, February 28.
