About Brickhouse Bistro, Besant Nagar, Chennai
In the sea of pricey trendy restaurants, sometimes it’s very difficult to find a nice pocket-friendly place. A place which serves delicious lip-smacking food for reasonable prices and can give a comfortable yet tasteful environment. A little while ago on a particularly tedious afternoon beside the sea we bumped into a discovery – something we are especially proud of. Located on Orur Kuppam Road in 5th Avenue, Besant Nagar, we happened along ‘Brickhouse Bistro’, a charming little place that has a killer view and a sensational menu. The bistro falls right off the beach so after you splash around, tumble in the bistro with a ravenous appetite and munch on their mouth-watering fare. Brickhouse Bistro has an amazing sea view which you can admire while having your meal. Due to its great location, the bistro gets a lot of footfall containing beach goers, tourists, locals and families.
Brickhouse Bistro is placed in a busy lively market and is perched right above the Subway outlet. The name Brickhouse Bistro delivers exactly what its name promises. The bistro is located inside a house that has been modified into a restaurant. Interiors is casual and created out of an exposed brick wall – hence the name. Some parts of the wall is left unvarnished while majority is washed in soft white hue. Ceiling is a network of vibrant red coloured pipes from where yellow bulbs throws sharp bright light. Framed food related art work hangs on the walls giving you something to read while you wait for your order. To make the wait even more bearable they provide peppy live music. So you can sit back, let yourself loose with the music and look out of the window at the twinkling blue sea. We especially liked their colourful lightweight furniture.
Brickhouse Bistro believes in casual dining so it sticks with a likable American menu. You can start your evening by tucking into, beef chili fries, bruschetta, garlic bread, crispy chicken nuggets, chilly cheese garlic bread and a whole range of juicy chicken wings which comes with multiple sauces. For your main course look into, chili dog, crumb fried chicken burger, mushroom & onion sandwich, chicken schnitzel, pesto penne pasta, double stacked tenderloin burger, double dog, skewered paneer steak, chicken mustard sandwich, beef steak and creamy white sauce pasta. Wash it all down with a dark chocolate milkshake or a refreshing lemon ice tea.
