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.

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

Granted, they forgot the tomatoes on mine, but it was already enough food as is. My favorite parts were the beans and sausage. The toast was also great because butter. Also ordered a side of hash because I wanted to try it, but it was WAAAY too much food. Service was a little slow, but that comes with the territory of lazy brunch. The place is laid out kind of weird, where there really aren't small tables and everything is made for 3-4 people. The table we sat at faced the wall, which was weird.

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. The owner Elina hails from the Oseta region of south Russia and has brought some of the local cooking knowledge with her to breezy Brighton, and you can tell. The food is exquisite, cooked to perfection and the menu is packed with inventive recipes. Specials change regularly and there is plenty of choice on the regular menu. 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.

Estia is everything a great Greek (Cypriot) restaurant should be - located in a light and airy building, run by a cheerful family, authentic Greek dishes with a modern twist, the best ingredients and organic, free-range meats. It can be a family affair during the day but transforms itself to a romantic location in the evening. There's a wide selection of meze, salads and vegetarian dishes.The mezes start at just £12.95 per person. We ordered the Meat meze which includes olives, dips, warm pitta bread, grilled halloumi cheese, kefdedakia, dolmades, Cyprus village salad, fried potatoes & choice of moussaka, stiado, pork souviake or sheftalia. It was so good that I'm salivating just thinking about it. I have it on good authority that the swordfish skewers and Karpasia Moussaka are key mains here so I'm already planning my second visit.

The food was delicious- we ordered the seafood mezze sharer, which involved dips and pitta with olives, followed by mussels, calamari, giant king prawns and sword fish (especially good!) and Mediterranean veg. We substituted fried haloumi for dolmades and they were literally the best I've ever eaten! The menu is extensive, but the mezze sharers (meat, veggie or seafood) are definitely the easiest and most economical way (£12.95-£14.95 pp) to sample the menu, if there are a few of you. The service is friendly- but be warned, the wait for food can be a bit long if the restaurant is busy- the place is family run, which is lovely, but they could do with a few extra members of staff! The only disappointment was the decor. The space is not overly inviting or cosy. Neither is it traditional in any way. There is a distinctly clinical feeling about the place, probably because it is quite colourless- we were hoping for a more traditional, vibrant atmosphere. However, there is no denying that the food is fantastic- I will definitely go again...
