About Us
Santiago Correa - Head Chef
Leading our amazing kitchen team is our Head Chef, Santiago Correa. Santi has been with us since 2007. He has had extensive Cafe/Restaurant experience - including Rosehip Cafe in Parnell (an award winning Auckland cafe where the Prime Minister has been seen to breakfast many times!).
Santi's Argentinian flair is complemented by a hardworking and dedicated team in the kitchen.
Their commitment, enthusiasm and general hard work have played a critical part in making Alimento the local favourite it is today.

Keeping it in the family is important to us all and this includes Carly's sister-in-law Megan, an accomplished professional artist - who's fabulous artwork adorns the cafe walls.
