Came here because we wanted to eat fish and chips, once we were in Brighton and we weren't disappointed. The fish was crispy and fresh, we got mushed peas as well which were delicious. They offer a lot of different homemade lemonades too! Not the best chips I've had in my life, but the dip was really good. Also you get the perfect view from the upper floor, very cosy!

Had the plant based burger with fries soooo goood!!!  Defo recommend if you ever visit Brighton

Loved it at Lucky Beach! Staff are super friendly and happy to be there. Food was delicious and they had vegan options!!! I had the B12 Plant Based burger with a side of fries. It was to die for. Food was reasonably priced too :) Definitely recommend if you ever visit Brighton

First time in Brighton, this was very decent fish and chips. The fish was obviously very fresh, the batter light and the fries very crispy. The accompanying sauce was delicious and the overall seasoning on point. However the mushy peas were lukewarm and were really disappointing compared to the rest. Good and quick service. Came during the low season at rush hour.

My friend and I went for breakfast here. She has been here before and proper vouched. We were too early in so we had to wait till the staff has laid out the tables and chairs outside. The staff were nice enough to let us hang about. We both had their full English breakfast and it was so good! Note attention to detail and yes, the bacon was crispy. Even the coffee was spot on. I'd say the price was right too. It would be such a lovely place to be in the summer, I can imagine. I shall return! Such a good find ^_^

It's a tough choice between all those beach front cafes at this main stretch of Brighton Beach - this was truly a lucky choice! The weather was gorgeous and I was lucky to find a seat on the terrace (there is further seating indoors and in an area immediately out front, but further from the surf). While some places seem to be tourist traps offering overpriced fish and chips, Lucky Beach seems more like Brighton proper and I duly opted for a vegan wrap and Elderflower drink. Both were just the ticket, staff super friendly and efficient.

This place is a proper hidden gem! I came in from a cold and wind swept brighton beach hoping to find a place to hide away and get a sandwich. After looking at the menu I opted for brunch instead. Super organic fair with an artistic twist to it. Will take you through what I had and review each... Esspresso - yum. I've been in brighton a while now and it is sometimes difficult to get a good Esspresso which isn't burned. The Esspresso I had here was delicious and sweet. Not a bitter note in sight. Eggs benedict - two poached eggs and sour dough toast with smashed peas and slow cooked ham hock. Was garnished beautifully with edible flowers. Melt in your mouth good and really well balanced flavours. I then had a cup of tea to round things off. Even that was better than expected. You get a little pot of tea but the presentation is super cute with a mini - bottle of milk coming with it. I'll be here for brunch again. You also get the bonus of a sea view if you sit upstairs :)

This little restaurant is on the seafront just between the new and the old pier, and offers a great view of the beach. Their menu is a selection of sandwiches, burgers and fish & chips. We all had burgers, there were good but the beef could have been a bit less cooked to be perfectly soft and juicy. Usually I always eat a Fish & Chips when I am in Brighton.

Delicious breakfast (banana bread brioche French toast with salted caramel and blueberries, crab and avocado eggs benedict, coconut chai and Nutella latte). Will be back!

I've finally gotten around to having a Lucky Beach burger, and BOY am I impressed. I was pretty famished earlier and couldn't be bothered to go out for lunch so I thought I'd opt for a deliveroo, and noticed Lucky Beach. Now everyone I've met that has been has raved about the place, not to mention the great reviews here on Yelp. I really fancied a burger, although I am aware that burgers don't usually travel too well. After seeing the list of delicious sounding burgers available, I thought I'd risk it. I ended up choosing the LBB (Lucky Beach Burger) 1/3lb dry-aged local organic sussex beef, kombu cheddar cheese fondue, ketchup leather (not sure what the leather part is), lardo fried onions and housemade pickles in a truffle bun. Also comes with fries. Decadent! I made my order and it arrived within 25 mins. Speedy service! The fries were a little cold but that was to be expected, so I gave them a quick blast in the microwave. I'm neither here nor there when it comes to fries, but it must be said these were really tasty, decent fries. Just the right sized portion for me too. I don't know about you, but when I have a burger I don't like to have too many fries, too filling and you end up not having enough room for the burger. Now on to the burger itself. I'm just going to put this out there right now that Lucky Beach could give Burger Brothers a run for its money, and that's saying something!! The truffle bun had a lovely texture, it didn't crumble upon eating, and it held the burger well. The beef patty itself was extremely tasty, very flavourful and cooked medium, just how I like them. The kombu cheddar fondue was really nice and something I've never had before. The lardo fried onions were sweet, tangy and not too greasy. I liked the size of the burger too, as in Ben H's review, it's just the right size so that you don't end up in a mess or having to dismantle it with a knife and fork. All in all I have to say I'm extremely impressed, the quality for me was great even though the burger had to travel! I can only imagine how good they would be in the restaurant, and I am looking forward to paying them a visit either for breakfast (which is also meant to be fantastic) or another burger!

Wow! I went with a…read morefriend for lunch on a Sunday. Heard so many good things about the huge variety of sausages, mash & gravy. Especially for us veggies, it's great to see more than just your classic linda mccartneys (which I do love). There were about 5 veggies sausages to choose from. What a delight! It gets better... A choicle of about 10 different type of mash and gravy. I am in heaven! We head there, take a long time to decide which to have and go to order. Oh no! It's a Sunday, they only offer roasts. A little disappointed as I was desperate for the confit garlic and rosemary mash but no matter. We got to pick which sausage and then have all the trimmings. Boy am I happy we went there! It was so so so amazing. Cumin glazed carrots, red cabbage, greens, crispy roast potatoes, lemon and herb stuffing, yorkies and cauliflower cheese. Oh my, the cauliflower was to die for. When asked how our meal was, we mentioned how much we enjoyed it the waiter went and got us some more! I went for the spinach and cheddar sausages and my friend went for sweet potato, sundried tomato and olive. We shared them between us. I will definitely be back to sample more! And also to try the mash of course. On top of all this, we both had what seemed like a litre of Bloody Mary. Topped with a port float. Mmm mmmm!!

I feel quite at home here, more especially in the rain on a Sunday, with a roast, staring out the…read morewindow. The music is pretty much on point, and the food tidy, my favourite roast is the belly pork or the chicken. Selfishly I prefer it a bit quieter, it does get pretty busy. Speaking of which it pays to pre-order your choice of Sunday lunch as often, even if you get there first thing at 12:00 1 or 2 items are normally already not available. Whether its meat or meat free (veggie or vegan) lunch on a Sunday, you'll probably be wanting to return. #topJob

I was lucky enough to be taken here for lunch by the Yelp duchess of the Sussex Yeoman, Brix H and…read moreher boyfriend The Yeoman is located a very short uphill walk from Brighton station but you may a little difficulty recognising it as the E has fallen off the sign, making it currently the YO MAN! It's quite cozy inside but Brix had booked a table. Despite its proximity to the station, it was a nice relaxing place to chill and chat. It did get busy later with football fans and we vacated our table so that others could eat There was a good varied menu with some ambitious dishes on there. I was warned that the portions size is generous here and you certainly won't go away hungry. You know it's a good menu when it's really difficult to choose I eventually settled on scallops with black pudding and potatoes served on salad including apple. The portion was huge and while the presentation wasn't fine dining and certainly wasn't intended to be fine dining, the combination of flavours was spot on. The scallops were sweet and I appreciated the fact that they had left the coral on - there is so much flavour there. The slightly spicy and deep flavour of the black pudding was the perfect foil and the salad dressing was well judged. Yum This is a pub with a serious kitchen. Recommended!

From the outside, the Yeoman might look like any other ale house, but such thoughts would be wholly…read morewrong. Inside you are greeted by an impressive selection of wines and ales, enough to please any potential connoisseur. While this isn't exactly something to write home about, the food certainly is. Inside the Yeoman, you won't find reconstituted burgers with a helping of soggy chips. You will instead be given the task of choosing from a weekly menu of locally sourced dishes, combing traditional British cooking with a modern continental influence. This isn't the cheapest lunch you will ever have, but it is possibly the best one you'll find in Brighton. The Yeoman would be more at home in trendy North London, not 20 yards from Brighton station's smoking area. That however, is our gain, and not London's. If you are searching for a warm meal, this pub won't be for you. However, if you really want to try good food, then look no further.

Menu sounded intriguing and we ordered the burger with triple-cooked chips, flank steak and the pig cheeks. Overall the mains were good however I found my burger to resemble McDonald's Big Mac. This may be because they also use a gherkin sauce. We decided to also order dessert which unfortunately was a mistake. Portions and presentation left is disappointed as we ended up paying £10 for them. I can't even recall what my partner ordered. It looked like 3 dollops of Nutella spread with thyme in them. I had the doughnuts which I didn't think were cooked well. Drinks were also a bit pricey in here. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be coming back nor can recommend this place. I did note that the service was decent.

They have quite a big food menu. A cross between burgers and tapas. I have eaten here quite a few times - usually tend to stick to the tapas style dishes as I like to share. To be honest, it's been pretty hit and miss with the food. Last time I had the squid (which wasn't great) but the polenta chips and white bean hummous were to die for! But as a said, can be very hit and miss. Saying that, that doesn't stop me from coming back here! The staff are all absolutely lovely. On the weekends they have a DJ playing, always gets very busy and has a great atmosphere. The interior is fab! Very Americana. The whole bar is lined with beer bottles, all of which they have sold in the past.
