As we a friend in the city that is vegan, we decided to give this restaurant a try. with many items on the menu that looked well known, even with a vegan twist, we were pleasantly surprised how good, filling abundant the meal was....While our escaped net came at the same time, we had a whole series of foods on the table. the portions of each plate were considerable, which corresponds to more food than necessary. the options were delicious, did not make us feel that we missed on something. we had the “Schmuck”, Massaman-Curry, “prawn” cashew stir fry together with some starters. it was great, though our least popular was the “Prawns”. Maybe it played with our heads too much, as it looked, like real garnel. that is a definitiw must try!

The food was excellent for vegan (laksa and other dishes.) highly recommended. this is a hidden gem, a small gasse path.

Five of us made dinner reservations at Brainwave, our first time dining there... and it exceeded our expectations. We decided to share five dishes and each one was absolutely delightful. We will definitely be returning.

The restaurant is in a small laneway just opposite Central Station. Very nice place with outdoor and indoor seating areas, friendly staff and good atmosphere. Have been here twice (tried 4 dishes in total together with my partner) which ranged from average fried up Asian noodles to great starters. Would definitely give it another try, they have a huge range of dishes.
