Conveniently located just a few minutes stroll from the apartment, this is a great place for breakfast or brunch all year round. We like coming here and sitting outside, looking at the sea and watching the world go by. Pet friendly too which is great for us. Excellent breads and bakery, lovely scrambled eggs with salmon and avocado, and the granola with yoghurt berries and banana are amongst our usual choices. It has a large outside terrace (blankets supplied if it's cool) and inside has a cosy cafe atmosphere. The Flour Pot Kitchen is under the arches directly on the lower promenade a 5-10 minute walk EAST of Beaches Brighton.

Riddle and Finns is great for fresh fish and shellfish and is housed "under the arches" along Brighton seafront, about 10-15 minutes walk EAST from Beaches Brighton. In summertime you can sit outside and watch the world go by and in Winter the cosy dining area overlooks the sea. We love the local oysters followed by squid or octopus.

Similar to Riddle and Finns on the beach, but this restaurant is nestled in the heart of "The Laines". Very popular and dining is on tall stools and tables, it's cosy and not the biggest restaurant, however a great atmosphere. Again, seafood is the speciality.
