With a smooth two-month start under its belt, La Brise 523 is charging full steam ahead. They’ve added more than a dozen new dishes to the menu, have now opened up for lunch, and have launched some excellent dining deals.
Located within Sinan Mansions, La Brise is a modest yet inviting space that offers around 40 seats. The space is split between a main dining room that overlooks the square and a large communal table to the right of the bar, suitable for large groups. It also claims a wrap-around outdoor seating area, reserved for weather-worthy days. It’s also dog-friendly indoors.
This is South African chef-owner Conrad Van Den Heever’s first independent project. The menu reflects his greatest hits, as well as dishes with Asian and Cape Malay influence. Asian-inclined flavors are married with flame-grilled and smoked cooking methods — expect char-kissed whole fish, flame-grilled steaks, smoky sauces, and barbecued mushrooms and vegetables.
New Menu Highlights
New on the dinner menu are a slew of seasonal dishes, featuring earthy mushrooms from Yunnan, stewed lamb shank, and “catch of the day” seafood, sourced live and fresh daily from local fishmongers.
To Drink
For drinks, La Brise has a curated selection of wines, including some hand-picked South African labels, as well as signature and classic cocktails from ¥68. Wines by the glass from ¥68, bottles from ¥308.
For Lunch
La Brise has also started lunch hours, serving up inexpensive comforts in addition to their signature dishes.
