“What an amazing café with lovely staff and reasonably priced refreshments and snacks. Perfect to punctuate our afternoon walk. A real pleasure to have met the superstar canines, Nellie and Pepsi. We shall be back. Thank you, Alex”

“Beautiful interior and great food. The tumeric latte was really good and the staff were super friendly. The brioche breakfast was soft!”

“We had our wedding party at Cafe Rust last year, and everything about it was fantastic! Anna is the QUEEN of organisation and delicious food, and thanks to her and the team we had the perfect wedding. The cafe looked beautiful, the food was amazing (people were talking for months afterwards about the slow-cooked middle eastern lamb!) and all the staff were so friendly and worked so hard to ensure everything went smoothly. Would 100% recommend Cafe Rust as the perfect venue and it will always hold a special place in our hearts ”

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

“We had travelled from Hertfordshire for a day out in Brighton The atmosphere at the Ivy is excellent a beautiful blend of Art Deco luxury and contemporary style, with high ceilings, vibrant artwork, and that signature lively buzz that makes every occasion feel special. The service is truly where The Ivy excels. Our waiter was impeccable: attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu. Everything was handled with smooth, effortless professionalism, from cocktail recommendations to clearing courses perfectly in sync. The food was excellent we had starters of Crispy Squid and Duck salad followed by mains of Guinea fowl cassoulet and the Queen Scallops and Prawn linguine. The Ivy Brighton delivered a sophisticated and completely flawless experience.”

“I love this place, I always come here with my friends. The food is great and the staff are really friendly. It doesn’t try to be aesthetic like the more expensive places but feels genuinely welcoming and comfortable. I definitely recommend.”

“Great clean cafe lovely mega breakfast. Alot of different food available and vegan options. Very reasonably priced as well also do deliveries or you can phone in and collect your order.”

“Had double burger there Freshmade and really tasty”

“Amazing place! We arrived late on a random Wednesday evening with our kids and the staff were so friendly, gave us extras and just generally were awesome lovely people. We are eating our fish & chips on the beach right now as I type this, and the whole family agree it is delicious! Highly recommend : )”

“had such a wonderful breakfast here! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully served — every bite tasted homemade and comforting. The coffee was rich, smooth, and perfectly brewed, making it the ideal start to my day. The cozy atmosphere and friendly service made the experience even better. Definitely a spot I’d recommend for anyone looking for a delicious and satisfying breakfast with a great cup of coffee.”

“A true cafe in a world of cafés. Good food, slightly uncomfortable seats, outdated decor amazing garden. A last frontier of a dying breed of real seaside cafes couldn't recommend more.”

“Absolutely brilliant cafe, gorgeous healthy food and their rainbow crunchy salad is gorgeous...my daughter had a fruit bowl lovely food there definitely recommend it please try big nice spacious cafe”

“The Arabian eggs were incredible! The coffee is in a really big cup which is perfect for enjoying and savouring slowly!! Much better than a tiny coffee from some places. Great location and staff!”

“I am in love with this cafe, the food they do is superb/healthy and mediterian style. Worth going and enjoy the variety of food they offer. Cant wait to go again.”

“Gorgeous aesthetics, calm yet upbeat funky atmosphere and most importantly great food with something catered for everyone Safe to say a new favourite place pricey but worth it definitely springs to mind perfect place for a date or a special occasion, booked up quickly and friendly staff. Nothing bad to say about it as it was very nice I was even recommend a better option from gentleman serving which I enjoyed a lot, even people cooking smiling and enjoying their jobs really nice atmosphere and a very enjoyable experience overall will return another evening, I even had my child and asked to use the restroom outside the front of the premises which they allowed at the time but when entering smelt the food and needed to sit down and try it and so glad I did. I'd been missing out on this little gem! Worth a visit! thank you.”

“Really delicious food, great value for money, extremely quick service and super friendly staff. Definitely going to make more of a habit coming here!”

“My partner and I are visiting Brighton and decided to have dinner here. We couldn’t have found a better restaurant! The food was amazing, they catered very well for vegans and the staff were lovely. Highly recommend visiting.”

“What a great little find in brighton. Fantastic beach cafe, that’s serves amazing full English. As well as BANGGING tapas. They had burgers and baskets fry’s and cheese boards as well. But we didn’t have them. They played cool chilled music and we had a few beers as well. Location is good, out of the crowd but I’m the mix, right next to the i360 and kids play ground. So great for family in the day. You can watch the kids play while you watch the sea. Such a cool venue. Service amazing and the lads who run is are so funny. Just good vibes. We will be back for sure”

“Really lovely meal - special celebration for us so we had the works. The food is fabulous quality, the service is exceptional, the drinks menu choices are vast and brilliant; including huge gin selection, wine selection and cocktails, also alcohol free choices of mocktails and more. You can taste the freshness of all the food, it really makes a difference. Our server Freddie was the perfect balance of attentive. When they heard we were celebrating our silver wedding anniversary they made a little fuss (see photo) which was so lovely and welcome. We were treated so well, literally faultless ❤️”

“Beautiful place, vibes, food was excellent and really really reasonably priced. Would recommend the wraps and hot chocolate! Steph and Francesca made me feel very welcome, thanks you.”

“I came here during pride and the staff were amazing. So sweet and caring, everybody were in such great spirits and really welcomed in everybody and made them feel taken care of. The food was fresh and wonderfully crafted. I had the lucky catch which was calamari with fish & chips as well as mushy peas with a spin. I had some of their handcrafted nonalcoholic drinks. The passion fruit spritz & the ginger one were great. The alcoholic drinks looked great but I had to work later so we kept it PG. I enjoyed everything 10/10. They’re right by the beach as well so there was beautiful scenery all around.”

“After a few bad experiences, I hadn’t used for a while, but tonight I ordered a prawn purée and garlic chilli chicken… both were just flawless.”

“Had a lovely all day breakfast, which came with plenty of toast & butter, sat out in the sun, all very lovely”

“Best food in the area! I get my lunch from here atleast 3 times a week while I'm working, their chicken burgers are absolutely delicious!”

“What a lovely find We had the Greek platter to share. Great fresh food friendly owner/workers Lots of tables with umbrellas to sit and look at a beautiful view. We will be back my mum and I”

“Great ice creams me and my son were left feeling very happy after our experience with the lawns cafe! Special shout out to Alice who had great serving skills.”
