Cute cafe vibe, great veg and vegan options and friendly service :)

Read full reviewThe food was outstanding. Briks Cafe is primarily vegetarian and vegan but has something for everyone. They use the best quality ingredients which are perfectly cooked and flavoured. My husband had calamari which he said was the best he had ever eaten. He tried very hard to get the chef to divulge the recipe! I had a hamburger which was delicious. The deserts were all vegan and surprisingly delectable.
What a special little place, we loved it. The food was out of this world,so well put together and with health and wellness in mind. We were amazed at how beautiful the food was. Thank you
Great experience

About Brik Cafe
Cuisine: Sustainable, Vegetarian
Named for the red-brick architecture of its distinctive corner location next to Rosebank's Art Deco fire station, Brik is one of a growing number of Joburg cafes that takes eco-conscious, sustainable and ethical eating very seriously, conjuring up beautifully presented contemporary fare in a casual setting that you can rest assured is kind to the environment.
Brik runs a great trade in breakfasts (opening super early at 7am) while during the week its location next to the large Workshop17 co-working office space means there's always a steady stream of office workers dropping in for a healthy lunch. The lunch menu is pared down and Brik sources all its vegetables from its own plot on a co-operative organic farm near the east Joburg suburb of Bez Valley and these wholesome ingredients are put to good work in an imaginative series of salads including a warm aubergine, Brussel sprouts, mint, preserved lemon and hoisin salad that is a major crowd-pleaser.
Brik is also open for dinner until 10pm on Thursday, Fridays and Saturdays, with an excellent boutique wine list curated by manageressĀ Odette Botha pairing perfectly with elegant dishes like calamari with roast grapes, grilled cabbage, taramasalata and pastry and an elaborate expertly executed gourmet burger.Ā
Brik Cafe was also nominated in the Best New Cafe category of The Coffee Magazine Awards 2019 and for good reason!
