[invite] Bianca: I admit, my main interest in Brick Lane stemmed from the intense burger ogling I was doing through Instagram. The location is somewhat of a blessing and a curse. Seek them out and you’ll be rewarded with a gorgeously sunlit open space with a large verandah, perfect for the warmer months. But don’t be deterred, we visited on the first day they cracked open the fireplace.
There’s a revival going on in the laneways of Double Bay with new eateries like Brick Lane popping up behind the main dining strip. We were guided in by the soft twinkling lights outside Brick Lane and the breezy, casual vibes of the interior were a nice backdrop for us to enjoy their modern Australian menu with international influences.
Double Bay just keeps getting better and better, with a rising assortment of cool restaurants, bars and shops that have helped propel the suburb and regain its label as the highly regarded destination it once was. One such venue is the glorious Brick Lane in a cute laneway just behind the main road, New South Head Rd. With an unassuming façade on the outside, this little laneway is home to a rocking venue with a stellar menu and cool vibes.
Classy joint with a suitably well dressed clientele. Sundays are perfect for kicking back with cocktails at the bar or the front verandah.
Although somewhere you'd probably want to enjoy drinks and meals with friends rather than take the kids, the staff are most welcoming of children and despite there being no formal kids menu, offered a $10 cheeseburger and fries or steak and fries. Bonus points to any venue that will accommodate families, hey, we all have to eat, right?
Also not on the menu is their Sunday roast special which changes from week to week depending on the best seasonal ingredients available. We shared a succulent roast chicken which was served with crispy potatoes, carrots, chard, corn cob and delicate gravy.
