“A quick stay in Brighton meant a google search for somewhere to get breakfast. Lucky for us we came across CoffeetZar. What a wonderful friendly welcome, lovely bright fresh decor ,exceptional coffee & loads of delicious looking food choices. I had the Greek yoghurt with granola ,sour cherries & honey. And oh my!. My husband had a more traditional choice. Both delicious and good value. Couldn’t resist a couple of homemade treats for the long drive home either.”

“great food, very friendly and polite staff, lovely outside seating area!”

“Amazing food (highly recommend the Italian toastie), amazing iced coffees and amazing cakes to top it all off. Great location in the heart of the lanes with a wonderful atmosphere, super quick friendly service, couldn’t recommend more”

“Such an amazing store, really really friendly staff. They have a great array of Jellycats at the moment. I love visiting this store.”

“I love this place, I'm currently vegetarian but if I could cook as well as these lovely ladies then I would become vegan in a heartbeat (giving up cheese is hard!) Always feel welcome and look forward to my breakfast pancakes and seeing lovely little pebbles. Whether you're vegan or not it's a great place to dine and try something different and new!”

“Been coming here years and never had bad food. Lovely local business and lovely couple who run it.”

“Love their margarita pizza and loaded fries - piping hot on collection (which was btw v quick!) and super tasty! Really recommend!”

“We came here for brunch as we had our dog with us and we needed somewhere that was dog-friendly. The ladies working there are super friendly and our order was taken quickly. The food came quickly and was well-cooked it didn't have excess grease and the portion size was great.”

“Loved their Buddha bowls very generous amount even on the small ones. They do plant based milks which is great sadly today was the last day in the area so probably won't be back for a while. Brilliant staff always some good tunes on and spotless clean”

“Nice food, friendly staff. The children’s water pistols were a good idea to harmlessly keep those pesky aggressive seagulls away from stealing your food. It’s a shame someone managed to find fault with such an environmentally friendly idea. Lovely cafe.”

“First time ever to an Ivy restaurant and it was fantastic. Greeted warmly at the door and taken straight to our table. Our waiter was lovely, he was charismatic and friendly. The restaurant was fully booked and the atmosphere was great. Now the food- one of the best meals I have ever had. Scallops and soup to start and they were happy to accommodate my fussy eating with the starter. Mains were sea bass and flat iron chicken and we couldn’t fault it. Great value for money considering the high quality food and service provided. Thank you”

“My favourite arab restaurant in Brighton. Very good food, the best mansaf in town and really nice vibes and music. The staff is also very friendly and helpful!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Amazing! What a wonderful experience! This place has it all — the best food, fantastic cocktails, and an incredible atmosphere. Every dish was delicious, and the vibes were just perfect for a relaxing and enjoyable time with the whole family. A special thank you to Sudip for your outstanding hospitality — you truly made us feel welcomed and cared for. Your service was exceptional, and it added so much to our overall experience. Our entire family had a great time, and we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended to anyone looking for top-notch food, drinks, and service!”

“Country pub vibes with nice atmosphere. Lots of seating inside and out. Food was good but could do with more vegan options. Facilities were good but no hand towels in the bathroom. Staff were good and attentive to the table, I would advise booking, we went on a Wednesday and it was fairly busy at lunch time”

“Reservation online was super easy. We had a lovely lunch with amazing food. Our fish was fresh and dessert very indulgent. We've sampled most of the menu recently with various visits. Staff are welcoming and friendly, service is always great. Good range of drinks available, and simple but delicious menu. Proper pub grub! The inerior is tastefully decorated, a lovely garden and a hugely popular teepee for rainy days at the rear. We'll visit again soon.”

“the best coffee in the whole world! food is delicious, you can tell its cooked to order, amazing service from Josh. the ambience gives you warm feeling like you are in your own home. super clean and well presentable restaurant.”

“Firstly the service was amazing, Adele was so friendly and welcoming. Secondly, the food was unbelievable! We had the Smoke Platter and shared it between two, luckily we did, it was MASSIVE, we had to wrap what we couldn’t eat to go. Thirdly, Adele’s espresso martinis are a MUST!!”

“Love this place. It isn't cheap but the food and service are great and it has a buzz to the place and nice ambience. Staff are friendly, helpful and guide you on what to eat or how to have it cooked. They also check if anyone has allergies which is great. Dessert was huge and decent choices. Only downside, toilets... they let the place down.”

“An exceptionally good Adana kebab. Easily as good as I’ve had in Istanbul, tender and perfectly spiced. Lovely fresh bread and salad, perfect rice, friendly service. Full marks!”

“Popped in on a whim as wanting to avoid any fried options and decided upon the lunch special. Shared with husband - 3 sides and a hot main (stuffed aubergine with new potato salad, sweet potatos and mushrooms and spinach). The serving sizes were a real surprise at first then the taste was even better. Hoping to return!”

“Just stopped here for coffee… great price!! £3.30 & nice & bold… so great to have them at the beach … clean toilets and fully loaded … only wish they were open more days and longer hours. Friendly staff like all the English!!!”

“Omg. Favorite place ever. Punk, great vibes, they’re cool with people with laptops, great wifi, filtered batch coffee, give u a discount for refills, vegan options, amazing place”

“This was my first visit here (I had only had a brief look around on a few days earlier) and it was great. You can order very easily from the different kitchens using a QR code from your table and enjoy the sea views and music. My food from temaki (Japanese kitchen) was delicious and presented beautifully. Good prices for the quality. Lovely friendly staff.”

“Had a good experience here. The place is cosy and the family running the place are really nice and accommodating, immediately offering a smile when we went in. We tried their Big English Breakfast, which was really good! Food presentation was lovely and really looked appetising! Also you can have it with toast, in our case we just had it regular meaning no toast but in the end we were still so full and satisfied. It’s just the coffee it was 2 shots but the cup was a bit to big and made it a bit weak, or maybe too much milk was added to our latte. So I suggest requesting to have another extra shot to your coffee! But in general recommend this place 100%. Well done!”

“Another great traditional Brighton pub that is tucked away just far enough off the main roadways to make it feel like a locals pub. Friendly staff, friendly locals. Great meeting point as it's just a few minutes from the station. Toilets a bit gross though haha.”

“We had a wonderful dinner yesterday at The Salt Room. The restaurant was full of atmosphere, yet we were comfortably seated at a large table. The service was excellent – the waiters were friendly, attentive, and clearly very professional. On their advice, we ordered the monkfish to share, served with mussels and moqueca sauce. It was simply gorgeous – beautifully cooked and full of flavour. To finish, we had the lemon tart and truffles, both of which were outstanding. A truly memorable dining experience. Many thanks to the team at The Salt Room.”

“Absolutely delicious food. Had the beetroot salad, miso aubergine, cauliflower wings and vegan pavlova, they were all so good! So much taste packed into each dish. Really lovely waiting staff and we even got a happy anniversary chocolate treat. Food came promptly and they were great with my allergies. Wish I lived in Brighton so I could go all the time!”

“Stunning. The pond water ale was spot on, couldn't leave it alone. The Indian food was just fantastic, as good as the best Indian restaurants we've been to. Brilliantly decorated. Impressive service by the friendly young lady managing multiple tables with practised ease.”

“The place is big, with a nice decor. The service very good, thanks to the attentive waitress. We had some tapas and the moussaka: everything was tasty.”

“Went to Roundhill for the Sunday lunch as it plant based. We tried the mushroom Wellington and nut roast which were both good. My wife’s Yorkshire pudding needing more cooking. Vegetables were lovely. The trillionaires pudding was very good. Overall a lovely experience and may visit again when in Brighton.”
