Bread and patisserie is very close to our hearts at allta. From our first little rofco oven in our winebar to our pop up bakery during c***d! Good bread to eat with food aswell as inventive and delicious patisserie is a core building block of who we think we are and what we want to be! We have built our new home in the docks with a micro bakery. This will be equipped with a polin deck oven, proover, blast freeze, pasty laminator and softserve amongst others. Our micro bakery will not only be an integral part of our restaurant offering but will also act as an independent morning time production space for killer pastries and coffee when it opens fully in spring 2024.
