Malt Dining & Bar

Malt Dining & Bar offers a three-level dining and wine experience in Brisbane CBD, with dinner, lunch, beverage and lunch-and-bar menus available through its website. The published information keeps the food detail broad, but positions Malt around fine food and wine rather than a single signature dish or cuisine.

The venue occupies one of Brisbane’s oldest working-class buildings, a former mortgage brokerage that was transformed with oversight from the Heritage Council. That setting gives Malt a strong sense of place, while the three-level layout suggests a venue designed for more than a quick meal. Its history is closely tied to Brisbane, having opened in May 2011 in the aftermath of the floods that affected the city’s inner suburbs.

Malt was started by a group of friends and continues to focus on local producers and suppliers, with sustainability identified as an important part of its approach. It could suit diners looking for a considered meal and wine experience in the city, as well as groups: the booking system caters for parties of up to eight and larger groups of nine or more. For a closer look at what is being served, the venue provides separate dinner, lunch, beverage and lunch-and-bar menus online.
