Whatever the occasion, treat the leading lady in your life to something really special... because she deserves it, of course. From vintage ballrooms with live burlesque and flowing bubbly to French-inspired restaurants oozing class and sophistication, we have put together the top 10 places to take your mum to in Brighton.




Mowgli Brighton

Whether it's a Mother's Day treat, a birthday bash or a meal out just because, ma is sure to love Mowgli. With its swinging seats, hanging vines and twinkling fairy lights, this place brings the street markets of India to Dukes Lane. 

If you're looking to share, tuck into tapas style dishes like treacle tamarind fries, Himalayan cheese toast and Diwali cauliflower, or go for house specials like Aunty Geeta's prawn curry. Be sure to check out the cocktail list while you're here too, from the chilli mango marg to the masala espresso martini. 

The Secret Comedy Club in Brighton

Your mum deserves a good ol' laugh and is there a better spot than The Secret Comedy Club? We thought not. Head to the Artista Cafe and Gallery, on Waterloo Street, for a great selection of fabulous comedy from some of the best comedians not only in town but across the UK.

Bohemia

Bohemia should be your pit stop in The Lanes if you're searching for something a little different. Decked out with vintage decor, comfy booth seating and a mish-mash of designs, even featuring a Veuve Clicquot roof terrace, Bohemia is a quirky haunt that's bound to impress your mum.

Whether you're popping by for lunch or checking out their live music evenings, there's plenty to be enjoyed here. As for the menu, expect everything from Thai-style tiger prawns to truffle bacon burgers or miso-glazed aubergine.
