brim cc

I love organic food and whimsy and Madeleine Peyroux. Brim CC is abundant in all these things. 

The (pictures slotted in a photo album with paper clips) menu is predominantly Japanese rice dishes with curry, salads and noodle (not ramen). This sounds like such standard fare that it surprises most people when BCC fans froth at the mouth with enthusiasm about the place. The ingredients are organic where possible and the small scale of the operation just feels like real food in an area of the city that craves authenticity.

I have only ever come here for dinner so I've known it to be quiet and cosy but I know the lunch crowds can be a bit hectic. For me, it's just a perfect location for after work dinner and unpretentious home-feel food.

My husband took me here before I had to travel interstate for work on Valentine's Day eve. We ordered too much (as usual).

Chicken curry on rice with tofu salad.

Tofu set.

In addition to the above we also ordered a Colourful Soba Set (called a C.S.S.) which was soba noodles with a board of tofu, vegetables and a salad. We really really liked it.

Before he ushered me into a taxi my husband poked a long stemmed red rose into the handle of my luggage. And that was the trip I felt like it was nice to be married.
