Brickhouse (已結業)

 一條熙來攘往的大街，人人都只會擦身而過，誰也不太在意的橫巷，竟然別有洞天，對，一間墨西哥餐廳Brickhouse就是置身其中。店內陳設洋溢著漫不經意的風情，既有高腳檯椅，又有室外的三四人抽煙位，越是入夜，客人便漸多，嘈雜聲逐漸地把音樂聲蓋過了。今次跟近十位的朋友來試菜，而店方主打的是墨西哥菜，也許是近年接觸了好幾次，對於充滿南美風情的食物，帶有熱情奔放的氣息，感覺良好。餐前大家在閒聊時，先來一瓶冰凍的墨西哥啤酒TECATE。Trio of Guacamole 很喜歡這款墨西哥脆片，今次配以三種不同的牛油果醬料，當中有辣味及青蘋果味，自己覺得醬料有帶有少許清香的青蘋果味，會起了平衡的作用。Casa Salad以火箭菜加以紅菜頭、小甘筍及水牛芝士，清甜中夾雜的芝士的濃香，挺啱自己口味。將邪惡的牛骨髓入饌，的確充滿了吸引力，DIY Bone Marrow Tacos把牛骨髓炸過，酥香豐腴，拌以蕃茄乾吃，別具風味。另一款喜歡的是Agua Chli Ceviche，以鮮蝦混和芫荽、洋蔥及菠菜汁，然後澆上少許辣油，爽口彈牙的蝦肉，味道清新，洋蔥的香味，把這道菜提鮮了。再來是Grilled Cha

在蘭桂坊工作了好多年，幾乎每一寸土地我都走遍了，但原來還有這德己笠街的暗巷是我從沒踏足過的，而且，更有著好吃得發瘋的，西瓜！從港鐵站走進蘭桂坊，路口，是一間賣名牌手袋的店，再向上行少許，未到豚王所在的和安里前，左手邊有一條暗巷，漆黑一片，這裡，就是我從沒踏足過的地方。柳暗花明，穿過巷的盡頭，原來是一處甚有特色的墨西哥店子Brickhouse，無論閒日、周末或假日，差不多都座無虛設。蘭桂坊就是酒，酒就在蘭桂坊。Brickhouse身在蘭桂坊，當然和酒脫不了關係，晚飯時間，吃著墨西哥小吃，喝著雞尾酒，Brickhouse是年輕男女們晚宴前最好的中途站。Cubano，一杯帶有煙燻味的龍舌蘭cocktail，除了檸檬味，還加了點岩鹽，另外更妙的是那一片菠蘿乾，既可放在酒中，也可直接拿來咬，味道都好。雖然用消暑解渴來形容雞尾酒好像有點不適合，但這杯Cubano真的給我這個感覺呢。前菜的Guacamole and Salsas是最常見的墨西哥菜，一邊是牛油果醬蓉，另一邊是以碎蕃茄、洋蔥、青檸汁等做成的醬汁，把它們塗在粟米片上一起吃，作為第一道菜，真是很開胃。Mexican-style Street

這家brickhouse由開的時候就很想來. 終於有機會來試試, 謝謝食友和公關邀請點了這裡的Brickhouse Margarita, 青檸跟鳳梨味道很開胃用來配著這晚的東西一起吃很對味guacamole and salsa最傳統的一款墨西哥菜, 以玉米片蘸牛油果醬及辣碎番茄很適合配酒邊吃邊聊天, 喜歡兩款醬都做得蠻不錯, 不過salsa的番茄能再碎一點就會更加好mexican style street corn這玉米非常甜, 愛吃玉米的我很喜歡吃這個外面有芝士粉及一些香料, 滋味滿分home beet fries我喜歡吃紅菜頭, 這前菜很適合我吃炸過的紅菜頭外層脆身, 一點都不會油. 加上自家製的蛋黃醬, 很好吃peruvian ceviches這裡也有中南美很常用到的ceviches菜式. ceviches就是以醋跟檸檬去醃熟食材. 吞拿魚肉質不會過柴, 剛好的魚肉質感帶回甘味道, 配以牛油果醬很不錯Agua Chili Ceviches這個是把蝦肉醃熟, 很喜歡這樣的醃法, 肉質不會過老青瓜醬汁非常清新, 喜歡吃清新一點的選這個應該會很適合casa salad素食人士應該會很喜

我很喜歡中環的墨西哥餐廳及酒吧Brickhouse，餐廳內常播著音樂，服務員態度友善，食物味道一流，是我和朋友見面的好地方。最近，Brickhouse推出了一系列新菜式，都是較健康的，例如素食，gluten-free菜式及羊肉taco等(原來羊肉只有牛肉一半的脂肪!) 新甜品椰子飯布丁非常美味，軟滑又帶有濃烈的椰香。Brickhouse依舊不設訂座，但好像已經沒有新開時那樣大排長龍!I have already mentioned in my previous review of Brickhouse how much I love this place - it is a hip, relaxing space where you are guaranteed a great time with your friends over some alcohol and Mexican food. I went to Brickhouse many times for drinks and snacks over the past few months, but it has been a

每次談開中環「Brickhouse」這墨西哥小店，大家都都會問：「喺邊㗎？」其實「Brickhouse」就在蘭桂芳「米蘭站」的後巷內，真的是別有洞天。之前已來過「Brickhouse」品嚐墨西哥風情，這次重來就吃了一系列新菜式。「Agua Chli Ceviche」$120愛吃的朋友應該對「Ceviche」不會陌生，這中南美洲的烹調方法，通常將海鮮浸泡在檸檬汁裡，利用酸味將海鮮醃熟。這次的「Ceviche」用上了蝦肉，混合洋蔥及菜汁，是非常健康的菜式，酸酸咪咪很開胃。「DIY Bone Marrow Tacos」$135我的至愛又來了 - 邪惡的牛骨髓！㥂原件肥滋滋的骨髓炸了，配上牛尾肉及蕃茄乾用墨西哥薄餅包來吃，油潤甘香，會有得輸嗎？「Barbacoa Tacos」$285這份是羊腿肉，大大一盤滿載配料，用薄餅包著 Queso Fresco Cheese 來吃，芝士味比羊肉味濃烈，怕羶人士也不怕吃這個。至於我自己？我會想它更羶一點，羊肉不羶，男人不愛嘛。「Rojas Con Crema」$65看見一片嫩綠的青色，不要以為是牛油果，其實是焗青椒與洋蔥，混上 Manchego Chees

每次前往蘭桂芳，經過這小巷，都會窺探看看這磚屋Brickhouse，只要一到晚上六時多，就會擠滿客人。還記得第一次來的時候，在大街上來來回回都找不到餐廳，原來它就藏在巷內盡頭。喜歡這裡的環境，偶爾都跟朋友來喝酒聊天，這晚來，就是試試新推出的菜式。先來點杯雞尾酒Cocktails，Cubano，$115，Tobacco Infused Reposado，Mezcal，Vanilla Brandy，Lemon，Grilled Pineapple，Volcanic Salt Rim。加入了燻煙的雞尾酒，入口先是濃郁的煙燻味，再帶點鹹，繼而是甜酸的酒香，層次感豐富，是特別的飲品。Trio of Guacamole，$75，自家製的墨西哥脆片，新鮮炸起，香脆可口，配上三款自家製的牛油果醬，除了常吃的口味，還有一款是辣味及加了青蘋果的，我就較愛帶辣味的，還有點芝香，加上牛油果的油潤，令脆片吃起來更惹味。Casa Salad，$95，這款新菜式以新鮮的沙律菜，加上小蘿蔔、紅菜頭及水牛芝士，配上蘿蔔蓉醬汁，甜甜的，也令人吃得開胃。Agua Chli Ceviche，$120，蝦肉跟著芫荽、洋蔥，菜汁加

Brickhouse is located inside a tiny alley sandwiched between two buildings along D'Aguilar Street. There are no giant neon signs pointing you their way and the only clue that you'll get is the myriad of people hanging around inside a dark alley. Go right in, it's safe.They don't take reservations and there's a maximum dining time of an hour and half. This place is always jam-packed and unless you're willing to wait two hours for a table, I suggest coming here as soon as they open (which is exact

The location sounds tricky but actually not hard to find. It is hiding in the alleyway right behind Milan Station, where you would come across a small local handbag stall in the front.The ambience was great: Chillaxing, crowded, noisy, warmly lit, big thick wooden tables, high chairs at the bar, patio area, hot food, right portion, passionate staffs who can memorize the menu… feels like it’s a different world from the LKF out there.Would recommend their Beet Fries. Was never a fan for beet roo

LocationBrickhouse is located down an alleyway sandwiched between two buildings in the heart of Lan Kwai Fong. It doesn't even have a sign saying 'Brickhouse - located down this alleyway'. Nope, much like platform 9 and 3/4 the fact that it is hidden is part of its appeal.AtmosphereBrickhouse is wondrously trendy. The furniture in the dining area looks like it was scavenged from a landfill. The paintings and drawings on the walls are crazy inky things and the waiting staff look young, mo-hawked

You'd almost miss it if you didn't pay attention, it's between Italy Station and a little old lady hawking handbags. I arrived at 7 and it was already 70% filled up, thankfully I snared two seats by the kitchen counter top and passed the time watching tortillas being toasted and ceviches being assembled while I waited for my girl friend to arrive. Looking around, there's so much to admire - the graffiti art on the walls, funky little decorations, the textured wooden furniture, eclectic designs o

近來從很多朋友口中聽過"Brickhouse"-一間新開在蘭桂芳的墨西哥餐廳. 止星期終於有機會一試.因為知道Brickhouse不接受reservations, 我們630pm已到達. 但差不多已坐滿.兩個人只點了3 plates to share, tuna tostada 很新鮮, 炸紅菜頭+spicy mayo 蠻特別, 很好吃. 墨西哥脆片和四種自家制的Ｓａｌｓａ很清新。。Ｇｕａｃｏｍｏｌｅ很快就被我們消滅了。總括來說，ｂｒｉｃｋｈｏｕｓｅ是值得一去的。　記住要早一點去因為不能在這裡預先訂檯。

Even though Hong Kong is filled with restaurants of all sorts, there are very few hidden gems; this is understandable, given that we are a very small city with lots of people who love food, and rarely does a good restaurant remain undiscovered.Brickhouse is a Mexican restaurant which tries to stay casual, hip and hidden, but didn’t manage the last aspect so well. Even at its soft opening stage it already became one of the city’s most talked-about Mexican bar and restaurant, with people rushing t

這間藏在小巷內的神秘磚屋，吃的是墨西哥菜，也叫我花了一段時間才找到它。即使它身處的位置毫不起眼，你沒法想像原來這裡每晚都聚滿客人，喝酒聊天的，夜夜笙歌，非常熱鬧。餐廳以磚為牆，還有不少圖鴉，門口是一排木製的窗，打開後，感覺不像蘭桂芳的酒吧充滿異國風情，讓人感覺更加輕鬆。坐到窗下的長木桌，也先點些飲品。這裡有八款特製的Cocktail，其中Diabla會用上墨西哥Jalapeno辣椒調製，入口帶辣，很特別的。Diabla，$115，由伏特加、Jalapeno辣椒、石榴、檸檬、紅桑莓調製成，入口帶辣，又有些酸甜，辣椒香在口中不散，有點刺激。Mexican Style Street Corn，$55，一客三串粟米以辣椒、青檸及蛋黃醬調味後再燒，還灑滿墨西哥芝士，看外表已經十分吸引。粟米味道很甜又多汁，加上惹味的醬汁及芝香，實在是好吃。Chips and Salsas，$125，這裡的墨西哥片是自家製作，新鮮炸起，入口香脆，並不油膩。配上同樣是自家製的莎莎醬，共有五款，店員介紹中間那款最受客人歡迎，是牛油果混上洋蔥而成，內有不少牛油果粒，口感柔滑，洋蔥味道不會太濃烈。另外也有黑豆、蕃茄莎莎等，

要數近代最偉大的發明，真的不得不提「Google Map」；亦拜托有「Google Map」，本人才成功找到這間隱藏在中環後巷的墨西哥餐廳「Brickhouse」。「Brickhouse」隱蔽在「米蘭站」旁邊，一條小巷的盡處，從外面看是完全不覺內有天地。餐廳內外都堆滿了在 happy hour 的食客，有座位、有企位，完全是很隨意輕鬆的 free style 。 「Chips and Salsas」先來的是經典墨西哥小吃。很欣賞此店不論莎莎醬及墨西哥脆片都是自家製，誠意十足。莎莎醬有蕃茄、牛油果、黑豆莎莎等，我最喜歡蕃茄味，混起脆卜卜的 chips 同吃是超清新開胃，就這樣不知不覺間「隊」了半桶 chips，怪不得近來自己發脹了那麼多。。。 「Braised Octopus Tostada」墨西哥菜給人的感覺是酸酸辣辣，這道也不例外。八爪魚粒下的是用蕎麥粉做的餅底，口感是脆的，味道蠻對胃口。 「Mexican Style Street Corn」光看外表就已令人有：「嘩，好墨西哥！」的感覺。三根燒粟米表面塗上辣椒粉、青檸汁、蛋黃醬及墨西哥芝士，用手拿來吃是會吃到人滿臉都是醬汁，這樣

My friends and I dined at Brickhouse with high expectations given the positive reviews it's received. As others have written there's a no reservation policy so one of us arrived at 7pm to put our name down for a group of 6 people and was told we would have a table at 9pm. There's no room to drink there as they use the bar to serve diners so you're left with the rather poor choices in LKF. I'm sure the bars in LKF are very happy with the no reservation policy as it means they can rake in a few
