What paullegate likes about The Brief:
During my time in the Old Town, I stumbled upon the Brief, a cozy cafe/bar with unique charm. The menu was limited when I visited, but the food I tried was delicious and affordable. It was the perfect spot to take a break while exploring the city. View all feedback. What DiDixon64 doesn't like about The Brief:
I was disappointed with the quality of the fish fingers, which were the cheapest option on the menu. The bread was also not fresh or fluffy. Despite the lovely setting, the experience was not great. With better ingredients, this place could be a popular spot for simple sandwiches. Overall, I found it very disappointing. View all feedback.

Nestled in a quaint corner of the Old Town, this cozy café/bar offers a unique charm that draws in hungry patrons. While some diners rave about friendly service and affordable, delicious dishes like paninis and freshly cooked tapas, others lament limited menu options and inconsistent quality. Many reviewers noted the pleasant atmosphere but wished for better cleanliness and faster service, particularly during busy hours. Overall, while the setting and concept show promise, improvements in ingredients, presentation, and attention to service could elevate this establishment into a must-visit destination for casual dining.
