The most fantastic dining experience. The food was exquisite, beautifully presented and served with care. Luca who served us knew the tiniest details about each dish and took care to explain what he was presenting. I have never met a sommelier like Stephan before. His knowledge of wines was second to none and he expertly guided us to a wine I wouldn’t have normally chosen - and boy was it good. The whole team at the restaurant were excellent and we can’t wait to go back. Thank you!

Took a few minutes to get checked in, but after that the service was good and the food tasty. A change in the menu would be good though, nothing bad it just needs a refresh for repeat diners.

Fantastic experience at The Lowdown. Thank you to the staff who made it a really fun and entertaining brunch. We didn't catch the name of the guy serving us but he was hilarious and took really good care of me and my friends. The food was delicious - really fresh produce was clearly used as it was so flavourful, and we appreciate you accomodating our request for mimosas which were not on the menu! We will definitely be recommending this place and we will be back!

About the restaurant

Bringing the lively spirit of Australia to London, Brickwood Cafe has been a cherished hub for breakfast, coffee, and brunch enthusiasts since 2013. What began as a cosy Clapham café has blossomed into a network of five distinct locations across the South West, winning the hearts of locals while proudly remaining 100% independent and organically nurtured.

In the early days, terms like "Flat White" and "smashed avocados on toast" were unfamiliar to many, but Brickwood Cafe introduced Londoners to these breakfast delights with flair. A highlight is their Banana bread adorned with a sliver of espresso butter—a sensation that captivated taste buds and created devoted fans.

Step inside, take a seat and immerse yourself in the genuine Aussie breakfast experience at Brickwood Cafe—an enduring favourite in London's vibrant breakfast scene.
