Jonathan Barthelmess to open a Japanese restaurant at Howard Smith Wharves

Restaurateur Jonathan Barthelmess has announced plans to open another venue at Brisbane’s Howard Smith Wharves.

Barthelmess will open a Japanese izakaya and bar in the vacant space next door to his Greek dining venue Greca.

Taking inspiration from his travels in Tokyo, the restaurant will feature a raw section based on sustainable seafood, specially sourced and selected Wagyu beef and an extensive sake and wine list, while the upstairs space will house a vinyl bar with an extensive whiskey list.

“We love being part of Howard Smith Wharves where the huge success of Greca has taken us all by surprise,” said Barthelmess.

“By taking the restaurant space next door we can grow and strengthen our team and invest more into the Brisbane dining scene.”
