Breakfast in Brighton

“Since my first review 2 years ago. I'm really pleased to see how this place has developed. The meals aren't huge, but just right for lunch. The homemade burgers are seasonal flavours. Their Christmas nut burger was a delightful mix of flavours and textures. The loaded fries with vegan cheese and red onion chutney was delicious.”

“An absolute God-send of a spot! Two lovely ladies and some of the best heartwarming fry I’ve ever had. 11/10”

“Deffo. One of the best cafes around Brighton. Happy and chill vibes all day and people there are so friendly. Also a great place for studying, reading etc.”

“Small but comfortable cafe. Its tucked away but id been meaning to try it for a long time. Good sized portions and bot unreasonable prices. The staff where polite and efficient. The sausages where tasty and bacon smoky! The coffee was good too. If I was to have one criticism I would say the tomato catchup watery and the bottle obviously been reused many times. Still it didn't detract so much from my meal which was lovely.”

“We had an excellent time here this weekend. The room was clean, smart and had everything we could need (including iron, ironing board and free sweet basket). The reception staff were very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was lovely, we had the fruit with yogurt and full English. I would definitely recommend this hotel.”

“Full English Breakfast, Yummy !”

“Dog friendly cafe with good food, great coffee and lovely staff. Our dog gets a sausage or chicken free of charge on every visit. We'll definitely be back!”

“We took our grandchildren to the Christmas afternoon tea experience today & it was fabulous. It was so well organised. Tables were prepared for each booking with name badges & food already in place. Father Christmas & Mrs Christmas visited each child & they were given an age appropriate gift that our grandchildren loved. The food was pitched just right for both children & adults & we all had a great time. There was also a later photo opportunity with Father Christmas by the Christmas tree. We'll done to everyone involved in making this such a great event.”

“Fantastic roast! Ideal place and lovely atmosphere for a delicious Sunday roast! The Yorkshire pudding and gravy were especially good! Def recommend adding sides of pigs in blankets and cauli cheese too.”

“Came here because I walked past exploring the area while visiting for the day and could smell the food being prepared was instantly drawn to the pub. It was starting to get busy and most tables were booked but I was able to grab a space and enjoy a really good fish finger sandwich. Didn’t take long to come out, the chips were banging, the sandwich it self was one of the best fish finger sandwiches I’ve had! The tomato sauce was delicious and I found out it was homemade, tasted like a tomato soup (in my opinion). Good service, lovely people who work here and the atmosphere of the people here a good time. Definitely come if you’re heading to Hastings or if you’ve live here and looking for something new.”

“A lovely cosy vintage tea rooms with an atmosphere to match the breakfast . 2 breakfast cooked just as we asked and the coffee and chai latte were just as good. Will definitely be returning and would highly recommend . Cake looked lovely but will have to save that for next time as we were too full.”

“Had the tastiest burger and waffle fries at the diner. Plus the halloumi was incredible. The servers were great and super helpful - even though we came in near closing time. Shout out to Ellie, Nikki, and Steve. Can't wait to come back!”

“From the moment we walked in, the staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The service was impeccable throughout our visit—friendly without being overbearing, and always on hand just when you needed them. It’s clear the team takes pride in creating a relaxed yet polished dining experience. The food lived up to every expectation. Fresh, vibrant ingredients shine in every dish, from the beautifully presented starters to the generous mains. To top it all off, dessert was a true indulgence, a perfect end to the meal.”

“We had a very warm welcome and excellent service from very friendly and attentive staff. The cafe is a nice environment to be in and has had a fairly recent rearrangement inside - now with more seating. Now the important bit. Food and drink. Everything we had was great and made with care. Lovely coffees (we tried each of the different coffees, the Brazilian, and the Mexican blends. My wife, an Aussie, enjoyed her 'aussie' long black. I enjoyed the fruitier Mexican blend. I had the black forest pancakes and my wife had the mushrooms on toast. Both were served looking fab, and made with quality ingredients, and good portion sizes. All in all, a place I've been to in the past for single coffees turned out to be a really good shout for a proper breakfast. Made an Aussie feel like "home from home coffee shop with brunch". Highly recommended.”

“I love this cafe. Can be difficult to get a seat due to its popularity. But I can't say anything bad about it. The smashed avocado with poached eggs, crispy bacon, sourdough toast and pimenton is unbelievable and possibly one of my favourite breakfasts/brunches. I definitely recommend”

“Classic English Café with a great menu and all-day breakfast - always enjoy my visits here and never leave empty. Staff are lovely too!”

“I'm a planner. Wherever I go, I usually have a spreadsheet of carefully researched places to eat and drink on trips, so we're not left disappointed. So it was an unexpected delight to stumble upon this cafe, entirely by chance. We were so impressed with our first visit, we visited again, the next day on our short two day trip. Firstly, the menu is huge. We literally wanted to try everything. Every dish has something unique about it that has clearly been thought through. The food was stunning. Perfect. We had lunch one day (mushrooms on toast), and breakfast the next (pancakes and full English) and both were as good as each other. I don't say this lightly, when I say, they make the best hash browns I've ever had. I've tried making hash browns through my love for them and I've left feeling jealous at how they got these so perfect. Delicious drinks - coffees, juices and smoothies all made fresh. Unlike most cafes - they didn't do my pet hate and fill the glass with ice, which waters down the juice - winner! The service was attentive, friendly and speedy (on both visits). We are going to be telling everyone about this absolute gem and will visit as soon as we're back in Brighton.”

“Incredible coffee from square mile which is always a good start, couldn't leave without without trying a cake as well, everything I consumed here was a delight. Staff were friendly, service was fast, prices very reasonable considering the quality and care.”

“Very nice food ten times better service and really nice owners or family run”

“The food was absolutely gorgeous, the full Monty was delectable and the whole vibe of the place was extremely welcoming and pleasant. The service was great, as the servers were jolly and friendly one even gave my child a lollipop for free! I went yesterday and will definitely be coming again at some point in the near future definitely recommend to go if your in Peacehaven”

“Loads of seating, great toasties, and only outdoor seating. Plus a sand and a view of the sea.”

“Fantastic service A1. Food excellent! An extraordinary place to dine! Prices are at a great value for money, exceeding expectations! Mauro’s service and attentions are unparalleled. Many thanks Mauro!!!! I can come here as many times as I can afford to return to UK. All my thumbs Up!!!!!!”

“I couldn't believe their specials were exactly what I wanted. Seafood starter and main both very good. A nice bottle of corked wine and good service. I just hope they kept the tip ! If I was picky about the food I'd say the tiramisu was bang average. I will be back no doubt which is the biggest compliment you can give a restaurant. Hugely impressed. I think it could do with a tad more heating. Inexpensive to boot.”

“Came here for brunch with the old man (future #1 best-selling author) to enjoy a nice meal. The food was quite splendid and tasty. Nice service and a wide range of items to choose from. Would recommend for an outing with a cosy atmosphere ☺️”

“I went for lunch here, found it by a quick google search: best fish and chips near me. Large portions which were freshly cooked and up to standard.. jacket potato looked abit black/brown inside and was hard.. still edible. Fish and chips were a delight to eat and we had it taken away. Service was incredible with one lady managing it by herself but she was very attentive. Would recommend as they have a very extensive menu which has something for everyone. Would visit again lovely spot x”

“Wonderful food in a traditional, French inspired restaurant. A superb menu of 3 excellent courses for £55, with lots of choice including a divine fillet steak! However it is the little treats, all included in the price, that make this restaurant stand out, and make the meal a special experience. Amuse bouche with drinks, and before the meal (a delicious crayfish mousse). Then a calvados granita before the main course and a chocolate coated Berry ice cream lollipop as a predessert. We had a super evening. This restaurant is a lovely place for a special meal, or a business meeting or a gathering of family and friends. We will be back! Thank you.”

“I cannot recommend Relish and Alison highly enough. Alison was recommended to me by 3 people. Not only is she lovely, sympathetic and funny but a brilliant cook as well. She did us proud, really looked after us, nothing was too much trouble and everyone commented on how lovely the food was. Thank you Alison and team, you are brilliant!”

“Serve a lovely English breakfast here. Had a lovely time with family and friends.”

“We popped into Tun Tun’s on Monday for their free student curry and I’m officially hooked. The staff were so friendly – the moment we walked in they greeted us with big smiles and asked whether we’d like veg, vegan, or meat. I went for the chicken curry, and it was still piping hot by the time we got home. Considering it was completely free, it was absolutely delicious – generous portions, loads of chicken and lentils, and packed with flavour. Exactly what I needed on a gloomy Monday evening. I’ll definitely be going back to try more, especially since they also do a £5 student deal. Edit: We did end up going back to try the £50 mega thali, and it was incredible. We also ordered two mango lassi – smooth, sweet, refreshing, and perfect alongside the spicy dishes. The fish curry was light and fragrant, and the pastries were unreal, especially the sweet coconut pathi. The chana daal was comforting, and both the aubergine pakora and onion bhaji were delicious. The chutneys that came with everything were amazing too – a perfect mix of sweet, tangy, and spicy. I’ll definitely be returning, and next time I’m bringing friends!”
