Grand Central

It's no secret that romance and rooftops go hand-in-hand, and in terms of Brighton, there's no better place to woo your honey with unparalleled views than Grand Central. Turn your supper into a seaside rendezvous on the famed restaurant and bar's secret terrace, as you lavish in top-of-the-line pub-inspired libations and the lyrical genius of Motown's smoothest crooners.

Tempest

There is truly no better combination than quality booze and a beautiful beachfront. However, Tempest's slew of special events, live music, and supper clubs make it one of the best places to dine in Brighton. Abundant with lanterns, tasty, signature tipples, and seafood, any night would be made at this true standout venue.

Burnt Orange Brighton

Head to Kings Road Arches to discover Burnt Orange, a relaxed bar and restaurant that's open from afternoon to evening. This welcoming space is decked out in gorgeous greenery and minimalist decor, while the outdoor terrace is both sunny and well-stocked with blankets for when it gets colder.

There's plenty to get stuck into on their extensive menu, which features lots of small plates and wood-fired dishes. Think skillet-baked potatoes, barbecue skirt steak, roasted crayfish kofta and much more.

Food For Friends

As its name suggests, Food for Friends' level of cosy, comfortable warmth creates a truly unique and delicious Brighton dining experience. Featuring a full menu of vegetarian digs such as potato gnocchi and smoked ricotta salad, along with divinely fresh drink choices, this is that seaside eatery you'll surely never want to leave.
