At last, bistros are booming in Queens. Owned by Adnan Krilic, a Bosnian transplant who once designed European concert halls, Brick Café has the requisite brick walls, stamped-tin ceiling and lace-curtained French windows that can be flung open for breezy brunches and sultry evenings, plus a lively same-name bar next door. Krilic"s sound-man chops guarantee an intriguing jazz-inflected music mix matched by adroit acoustics. Postcollegiate artists in ironic shags and Slavic bons vivants dine on citrusy tuna carpaccio; pan-seared fish, chicken and duck; and matchstick frites that would hold their own in the Latin Quarter (not to mention the East Village).
