The Red Brick - West Dorset

Solo diner betwixt satuday breakfast and lunch. Funky space in the old industrial area of town. Mix of locals and (rah rah) visitors. Very busy; staff were a bit overwhelmed but professional. Ordering protocol is a bit unclear as a first timer but all sorted. The meal was underwhelming but great coffee! All in all a good experience, and I'll return, but i think if it was less busy, things would be better.

Very, very unusual place , quirky doesn't cover it. Interesting cobweb collection. Having said that the bacon sandwiches were the best ever. Visiting the toilets is an experience in itself. Not sure how they passed the hygiene inspection, but if you are not too fussy, it is quite fun!

This restaurant is more than just excellent – it is truly exceptional in so many ways that other trendy establishments would love to replicate. The Red Brick Cafe is a unique gem that you must visit, but make sure to follow their rules for a top-notch experience. First and foremost, they only accept cash as payment, so don't expect to pay with your phone. Secondly, their opening hours are limited from 10am to 2pm on Wednesday to Sunday, with a Friday evening opening from 6pm to 10pm. Thirdly, there is no menu at the table; instead, you'll find the daily offerings on a chalkboard by the stairs, and once an item is sold out, it's crossed off. This means the selection may be limited, but that's all part of the charm. Be prepared for a cozy atmosphere with shared tables and a bustling crowd, especially if it's raining. While the prices may not be cheap, the quality of the food justifies it - so don't complain about the cost. Embrace the unique experience of dining at the cutting-edge Red Brick Cafe, where the food, atmosphere, and vibe perfectly complement the charm of Bridport.

Only take cash so had to go on a bit of a hike to get to a cash point. Limited menu (fine) but not all options available (not do fine as early lunchtime). Chips ok, salad seemed like it had been made the day before. Looked great and wanted to like it but just felt a bit unprofessional and mediocre.

The restaurant has a quirky and friendly atmosphere with great food. The prices are reasonable and there are plenty of delicious vegetarian options available.
