Foodie Favourites in Brighton

Visiting Brighton or Hove you’re truly spoilt for choice for places to enjoy food. From elegant dinners to cosy breakfasts and casual lunches. So if joining me for a consultation or collecting your finished jewellery I would highly recommended going have having a lovely couple of hours to enjoy some delicious food together and get excited about what comes next!

★ Burnt Orange

Cosy and stylish inside, with a beautiful courtyard that’s magical in the warmer months. The seasonal menu is always thoughtful and delicious, perfect if you want a refined meal out and a moment to treat yourself.

Ideal for: Elegant lunches, intimate dinners, or a special treatWebsite

★ Market Tapas and Wine

One of my go-to spots for relaxed vibes and good food with friends. I’ve enjoyed both dreamy Christmas-Eve dinners and laid-back afternoon meals here. It’s warm, welcoming, and perfect for a cosy catch-up.

Ideal for: Sharing small plates with friends or a leisurely afternoonWebsite

★ Trading Post Coffee

A breakfast haven that feels like a treat every time. Their pancakes with a coconut cappuccino? A winning combination for me. It can get busy, so visiting outside peak times is best.

Ideal for: Breakfast lovers, brunch dates, or a slow morning indulgenceWebsite

Real patisserie Why not have a picnic in one of the many squares on one Brighton beach. real would be my go to to pick up delicious food. From breakfast treats to lunchtime delights. Or a little treat to take home or enjoy back at your hotel room.

★ Sunday Roast & Classic Comfort

If you’re after a proper Sunday roast in Brighton or Hove, The Shakespeare’s Head is a favourite of mine, cosy atmosphere, hearty portions, and all the charm of a traditional pub meal. That said, Sunday roasts fill up fast, so I’d recommend booking ahead.

Ideal for: Traditional Sunday lunches with friends or family
