The beer, cocktail, soft drink, and coffee offerings are excellent and the food is globally inspired and locally sourced. Though the Brits aren't exactly good exciting tacos or anything labeled "spicy", Lucky Beach gets an A for effort. The emphasis on quality ingredients make each dish superb and despite the lack of authenticity, delicious nonetheless. A great choice for a drink, cup of coffee, a quick bite, or a relaxed meal with friends by the beach.

Many years ago, I had relocated to Brighton…read more At that time, the craziest thing you could find on a menu was stroganoff. Here it is 10 years later and things have changed. Came here and we were pleasantly surprised at the menu. We started with the avocado toast which was delicious. We both ended with the fish and chips. Chips were excellent. Fish - his was great. Mine had a bit of skin and bones fried with it. Still good, I just avoided those few pieces. Great oceanfront place

Overall good experience and a good choice for breakfast/brunch if you are in the area.

Billies, Billies, Billies. It's official. I'm in love…read more Everyone will tell you about how wonderful this cute little cafe was but until you experience it for yourself I don't think you understand the true amazingness of Billies. I went here on the weekend with a fellow Yelper and boy was I impressed! We spotted Billies not because of a big sign or a bright storefront, but because of the queue of hungry and hopeful people all lined up politely outside it at 11am on a Sunday morning. Surely not? I thought to myself - not very used to having to wine in line for my breakfast in Brighton. But yes, there it was... a big old queue. Now, if I'm honest, at this point my friend and I had a moment of weakness and discussed whether to move on somewhere else but (thankfully!) we stuck around... The sun was shining and the cafe is situated on one of Brighton's prettier streets, away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre, where streets are lined with pretty white houses and big beautiful trees. The people queing with us were friendly and equally as excited by the prospect of Billies famous hash, so in truth the waiting process was pleasant enough. It only took us about 10-15 minutes to be seated as we came as a pair (much to the dismay of larger groups who momentarily considered abandoning their friends and families in favour of food). We were seated at a pretty little table in the window, perfect for watching the world go by on this sunny Sunday, as we waited for our food. We both order the has - me going for the Mexican one with guac and salsa (and a side of bacon... shh!) and my friend going for the Farmhouse, I believe. It wasn't a long wait for the food to arrive, considering how packed the place was, and we were content waiting with our Americanos and gossip. The food arrived looking and smelling incredible and, upon tasting, it did not disappoint! My hash was spicy, filling and unusual (in a good way) and I only managed about half of it before asking for a doggy bag. For a mere £8 (or thereabouts) you get at least double portions, I'd say and this is coming for a girl not afraid of finishing her plate! I was so impressed with it - it really hit the spot! The staff were friendly too, while rushed off their feet, and my total (hash, with added bacon, and coffee) came to around £10, which is not bad at all considering I took practically a full meal home with me as well. I really loved my experience here! I felt as if I was in NYC brunching in style, but without those measly portions! This is hearty, tasty food, served with a smile in a very pretty (albeit busy) little cafe! Go and it try it please!!!

Then when I…read morestumbled in this one in Ship Street I decided to try it, for my first meal in this city because had read the good review that Kerry G. made about it. The place was really busy but I managed to find a free table outside and spent several minutes looking at the menu and I couldn't decide what to eat as everything sounded so appealing. After making up my mind I chose the falafel, olives and feta on flat bread and an orange juice. The staff seemed really friendly, because you order at the counter but they bring it to your table. My lunch was yummy. Not a super meal, more like a quick bite for lunch but was quite good and the falafel wasn't too crunchy and hard as I experienced before. I decided to not stay for coffee as I wanted to try some other cafés but overall the place was a really good choice for lunch. Nice decor with a few tables to have a seat outside in the sun, pleasant staff, free wifi and a good spot for people-watching (my favourite sport!!).

Anyone fancy a Pigs Breakfast for £5.99? Nope, me neither!…read more Straddling the border of Brighton and Hove, The Meeting Place is a greasy spoon that masquerades as a cafe. The fact it seats 160 people and has wonderful views of the sea means its busy all year round. And yet, the food is bland, mediocre and stodgy. There's fried breakfasts including the aforementioned Pigs Breakfast, pizzas rolled into a cone (don't ask!) and toasties made from cheddar slices. The tea, coffee and cakes are equally disappointing. In fact, the only good thing about The Meeting Place is the soft drinks, ice-lollies and chocolate bars. Oh and the breath-taking views of course.

This is a humble independent cafe selling decent coffee and excellent home cooked food.

I recommend the Oseta's House, a delightful dish of scrambled egg with halloumi, tomato, and spinach... it really is to die for! Coffee is good (to this writer's taste buds anyway, but I'm no coffee aficionado) and there are plenty of other choices on the drinks menu.

On this trip, in mid June 2025, we'd promised our American daughter a proper British "Cream Tea"…read more.. Somehow, we didn't expect to find it in Brighton, but this was the perfect place for it! After a long walk from Brighton Marina to the Pier, and a lot of shopping in The Lanes, we were ready for an Afternoon Tea! This Tea Shop is in the heart of "The Lanes", a picturesque location amidst brightly coloured shops, cafes and restaurants, in narrow, winding alleyways that make for a unique shopping area. It was lucky we went in at 4.30pm... They close at 5pm, but we were welcomed in as one of the last guests before they announced they were closed. It also meant we not only got a table, but the place started clearing out before we'd finished, so we ended up being the last customers, which was nice. It's a cute, cozy little tea shop, pretty on the outside and inside, with pictures of Brighton on the walls and an eclectic mixture of teapots, milk jugs and cups. It had been many years since I'd last had a "cream tea" and this didn't disappoint. We ordered some fruit scones and some plain scones (both were yummy but I recommend the fruit ones - the raisins & sultanas are really plump and juicy!). We also tried our scones both ways - cream then jam (the Devon way), and jam then cream (the Cornish way)... I'd been brought up the Devon way, but discovered the Cornish way is actually more to my liking! Both were yummy! We didn't buy any cakes, but the cakes (as well as the scones) are made fresh daily and looked delicious. And I must say, the tea itself was fresh and superior quality - loose leaf English breakfast, rather than bagged, really makes a difference. Our server was very sweet and friendly, and then, at the end, since we were the last customers, the shop owner came out to talk to us, and was super friendly and welcoming... She asked where we were from (always fun, as I'm British, but my husband and daughter are American). Despite it being the end of her day, she didn't rush us out at all, and enjoyed chatting with us. The whole thing was a delightful experience.
