Brik never fails to impress. Their restaurant week menu has something for everyone (vegan, veg etc.) and none of the dishes we tasted fell flat of amazing. Their staff is accomodating and eagre for feedback, especially since they've added a couple of new, experimental items to their restaurant week menu. Definitely give this one a shot. At 150 per person, it's a bargain.
Brik is a fantastic little restaurant with a unique menu. If you want to convince meat-eaters that vegetarian/vegan food can be utterly delicious, Brik is the place to go!
Wonderful service ! Great food !

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 manageress Odette Botha pairing perfectly with elegant dishes like calamari with roast grapes, grilled cabbage, taramasalata and pastry and an elaborate expertly executed gourmet burger.
Brik Cafe was also nominated in the Best New Cafe category of The Coffee Magazine Awards 2019 and for good reason!
