Upping the steaks: Ex-Alameda partner to open SALT on TRIO’s top floor

October 28th, 2007 | Category: Alameda, Salt, Trio

This story has been sleeping in the blog queue Rip Van Winkle style…

Gaby Alves, former partner in award-winning Brazilian restaurant Alameda, plans to open a joint on the upper floor of TRIO, in the Lido area. According to someone involved in the project, Gaby will team up with another restaurateur to launch SALT - you might have seen the ads in the city’s free English-language magazines. Rumor has it the place - to focus on contemporary cuisine - will open in late November.

Whew.

I first heard about this story eight weeks ago, but have avoided posting due to requests from several of the parties involved.

Being on board with a former partner of Alameda, one of Beijing’s perennial restaurant award winners, is a nice move by TRIO, and I expect SALT will bring in new clients to the benefit of all. I’ll have more on this in my next post…
