In a city as diverse and beautiful as Sydney, it can be difficult to discover a venue that’s truly distinctive. Alibi, Ovolo Woolloomooloo’s<\/strong><\/a> newest cocktail bar and eatery, is a venue that is capturing the attention of Sydneysiders for its bold approach to food and drink.<\/p>\n

The menu at Alibi is 100% plant-based. As in, all of it. Proteins, greens, savouries and sweets – the entire menu, from canap\u00e9s to desserts, is plant-based.<\/p>\n

The menu was developed under the guidance of US-based chef and restaurateur Matthew Kenney.<\/p>\n

Kenney, a pioneer of plant-based cuisine, believes Sydney is the ideal place for his first concept restaurant in Australia.<\/p>\n

“The lifestyle is already here, the products are here and the quality of ingredients is incredible,” says Kenney.<\/p>\n

Kenney and his team of chefs will be using these quality, locally-sourced ingredients to create exciting modern classics such as: lasagne with zucchini, macadamia ricotta and pistachio pesto; steamed buns with smoked King Oyster mushroom, cashew hoisin and pickled cucumber; and green herb tacos with pepita cream and barbacoa mushrooms.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s a menu that traverses the world, putting a creative spin on global classics like tiramisu, dumplings and raclette, all the while keeping its environmental footprint to a minimum. By mainly opting for locally sourced, seasonal and sustainable ingredients, it’s a menu that’s good for guests, and the planet.<\/p>\n

“With choosing this plant-based direction, we feel that we’re helping to minimise the impact on the environment,” says Ovolo Hotels Group Executive Chef, Kasper Christensen. “The menu gives locally-sourced plant-based ingredients a creative makeover and lets it shine on the table.”<\/p>\n

This commitment is being carried into events catering at Ovolo Woolloomooloo<\/a><\/strong>. No more will vegetarian and vegan guests have to hunt down the single waiter carrying one tray of plant-based canap\u00e9s.<\/p>\n“For our events package, we’ve expanded the variety. It now includes a large amount of plant based-dishes, including sit down and canap\u00e9-style events,” says Kasper. \u00a0
\n
\n“We also have created a Alibi banquet eight course sharing menu that we will offer to larger groups dining in our private dining room.”\nThe plant-based concept behind Alibi is quite a bold direction for any venue to move in. More so when you consider Alibi is housed within a hotel.
\n
\nTraditionally, hotels lean heavily on the classics – brasserie style bars and grills and buffets.
\n
\nThe team at Ovolo, however, are fans of taking the traditional, and adding a modern twist.\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Located on a finger wharf, stretching into the harbour, Ovolo Woolloomooloo<\/a><\/strong> shines a light on its heritage origins, while seamlessly integrating modern features for maximum comfort.<\/p>\n

The space at Alibi incorporates these elements, while also focusing on the concept behind the menu. \u00a0<\/p>\n

“We want guests to feel immersed in the experience, but still maintain that casual vibe.” says Ovolo Woolloomooloo<\/strong><\/a> Conference and Sales Manager Joanna Hillier. “We have created a relaxed lounge-style restaurant and bar that celebrates all things green to really complement the concept behind Alibi.”<\/p>\n

This casual dining space, with its bright and modern interior, is sure to be a popular option with Sydneysiders for events, especially when the weather really starts to warm up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This winning combination of atmosphere, a healthy and beautiful menu and stunning interior means this venue is sure to be a drawcard for spectacular events.<\/p>\n

“Sydney already has so much to offer and we wanted to set ourselves apart from being ‘just another venue’. It’s also a city that prides itself on lifestyle and healthy living,” says Joanna.<\/p>\n

“We all love going out and meeting up with friends over dinner. So, why not combine those elements and give Sydneysiders a brand new concept?”<\/p>\n

A concept that is starting to capture the eye of Sydneysiders, and events industry professionals alike.<\/p>\n
