Brioche

Port Elizabeth


For a light meal at lunchtime, this den with a boho vibe is a winner. Pick from healthy concoctions on the tempting menu (salads, pasta, burgers and sandwiches, all made with carefully chosen ingredients), and whatever you do, don’t miss out on the exquisite homemade pastries. Great coffee and tea, too.
