“The Brix is based on the foundation of a contemporary French Bistro,” says co-owner Emma O’Mara, who is running the venue with Keir Vaughn. “We wanted to create a space that was a thoughtful and beautiful experience for people.”
The Brix offers an experience through the flavours and textures of the food they deliver, and the duo aim to showcase the quality and detail of the Brix in everything that they do. “We are about having a whole lot of fun and taking away an experience that you think about for some time after you leave,” explains O’Mara.
The local area has certainly rallied to the cause since opening and O’Mara says that, “[that there’s been] amazing support from local community and Melbourne foodies community – [it’s been] really busy immediately. Amazing!” The Brix is offering a collaborated French/ Australian wine list that focuses on small producing ventures where possible, and the team also offers a small list of classic cocktails. “We want to keep things simple, concise and affordable,” says O’Mara.
“Our wines have beautiful and interesting stories behind them and we have a number of organic and natural wines on the list.”
