Catastrophic weather aside, we'd like to wish everyone a very HAPPY PRIDE 2021! The cafe is open right across the weekend for all things local and organic plus lots of Aperol, beers and everything in between. We're open from 9am for brunch, pride specials on from midday. Big thanks and love to the gorgeous folks at The-I newspaper who have featured us in their best UK coastal restaurants.
This caf, located between Brighton's two piers, also runs an organic coffee roastery and donates some of its profits to building a school in Rwanda - so you can load up on an aubergine. The awfully nice people at Mail On Sunday have featured us in their top beach cafes list for 2021. Which is nice!

Woah! The best fish and chips me and my bro ever had!! The flavour combinations were spot on. That is fish and chips with a difference. The cleanliness in the restaurant was spot on too. They had the most wonderful smelling toilets with their candles spotted around. Staff were attentive and friendly. Can you pay less elsewhere, yes but you'd never get the flavour and quality like you do here. I reccondmend the passionfruit fizz drink and the mushy peas to go with your meal, wow the way they jazz up some peas, lovely.

The food was good but the wait for our food was really excessive. Not only did we wait almost an hour for our meal, but our dessert took just as long and we ended up leaving without it after asking about it twice. We spent nearly two hours there and ended up deciding that our time was worth more than the 5 pounds we spent on a brownie

Absolutely fantastic staff and attentive at all times even the place was very busy. Food took a tad long but was expected as it was extremely busy, but we didn’t mind sipped on drinks and enjoyed the fab atmosphere.We took are puppy she was treated like such a princess by the staff. Now to the food, the crb meat tostadas and fish tacos are must try. The food fresh and full of flavors. @lucky_beach you get a massive 👍 from me

Outstanding! Modern take on fish and chips. Apparently they also do very tasty burgers but I haven't tried them. What I can tell you however is that the fish and chips was simple, fresh and delicious. There is a basic version available but also a Korean one! With Korean gochujang sauce! This looked pretty good. Make sure you also try the mushy peas, the best I have ever eaten. In terms of price, I think it's reasonable, 14£ish for the fish and chips and around 10£ for burgers. Worth trying!

I've been here a few times, and each time i've enjoyed the food. i will say it's quite expensive, but on the beach front i guess that's to be expected. the portion size is massive, to the point where i think they would benefit from just serving less at a slightly lower price. while it was very nice, i don't like paying a lot for a meal i end up leaving half of, as well as it being wasteful. i know it's not much of a USP in brighton as there are so many vegan friendly restaurants and cafes but i can't help but be impressed when i find somewhere that does good vegan

I should say that I was attending to this place because I've heard it was the best fish and chips, but it was such a disappointment. Maybe the fish came from a Dead Sea.
Plus, the service was awfull. I've been told by one waitress that I can sit outside, and then, a second one came and ask me to leave (I didn't, obviously) because the table was set for someone else.
The fish'n'chips had the same taste than a fast food one, nothing to make you fall on the ground.
Anyway, so the food was good, nothing big actually, my chips were fine, even if the meat above was a bit dry

This is definitely one of Brighton's hidden gems; really awesome, healthy food with tons of vegan + vegetarian options. The service is another notable quality-my friend order something she wasn't satisfied with, and our server was more than happy to void it and take her order for something else! I had the vegan BLT with fries which was an awesome choice and I don't think I would have known it was vegan unless someone told me. The last thing is the environment. We were sitting outside as it was a beautiful day, but the interior of this place is incredible. Totally unique in the best

I went early afternoon and there was more people sitting outside than inside. I chose to sit next to the register thinking I would be able to order, eat, and leave quickly. But I was wrong. I waited a long time to even get even get a menu and the waitress never wiped down the dirty table. My meal didn't take very long to come though.
Food - I ordered the crab and avocado bruschetta and it was great! Didn't fill me up but I enjoyed the sweet siracha and crab.
Drink - I wanted to try the watermelon soda thinking it would be sweet. But no, it was very watery and wished they added sweetness

Many years ago, I had relocated to Brighton.
At that time, the craziest thing you could find on a menu was stroganoff.
Here it is 10 years later and things have changed.
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

Came here because we wanted to eat fish and chips, once we were in Brighton and we weren't disappointed. The fish was crispy and fresh, we got mushed peas as well which were delicious. They offer a lot of different homemade lemonades too!
Not the best chips I've had in my life, but the dip was really good. Also you get the perfect view from the upper floor, very cosy!

Tasty food and fast, friendly service. But not clean.
While I was there, only two other patrons came in, both with dogs. Ok, that's not great already. But the second man had three large dogs with him and proceeded to smoke not three feet away from me (he was on the open beach side; I was on the "in"side). Yes, they were on leashes and well-behaved. But bringing three large dogs into a restaurant is really too much. Then, one of the waitresses took a table knife (presumably one that customers also use), knelt down and started scraping black crud, dirt and leaves out of the crack

For a seaside eatery in the thick of touristy madness, Lucky Beach is surprisingly quaint, affordable, and high quality.
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.

I've finally gotten around to having a Lucky Beach burger, and BOY am I impressed.
I was pretty famished earlier and couldn't be bothered to go out for lunch so I thought I'd opt for a deliveroo, and noticed Lucky Beach. Now everyone I've met that has been has raved about the place, not to mention the great reviews here on Yelp. I really fancied a burger, although I am aware that burgers don't usually travel too well. After seeing the list of delicious sounding burgers available, I thought I'd risk it.
I ended up choosing the LBB (Lucky Beach Burger) 1/3lb dry-aged

Lucky beach is a real place of contrasts - I've been here for a quick coffee when it's been quiet and sat for hours in the sunshine with people all around. What stays the same is that the food & coffee are great, the beach terrace is incredible and the staff are friendly. If you're looking for breakfast or brunch, coffee or drinks on the beach then this is your place

It's a tough choice between all those beach front cafes at this main stretch of Brighton Beach - this was truly a lucky choice! The weather was gorgeous and I was lucky to find a seat on the terrace (there is further seating indoors and in an area immediately out front, but further from the surf).
While some places seem to be tourist traps offering overpriced fish and chips, Lucky Beach seems more like Brighton proper and I duly opted for a vegan wrap and Elderflower drink. Both were just the ticket, staff super friendly and efficient.

This place is a proper hidden gem!
I came in from a cold and wind swept brighton beach hoping to find a place to hide away and get a sandwich. After looking at the menu I opted for brunch instead. Super organic fair with an artistic twist to it.
Will take you through what I had and review each...
Esspresso - yum. I've been in brighton a while now and it is sometimes difficult to get a good Esspresso which isn't burned. The Esspresso I had here was delicious and sweet. Not a bitter note in sight.
Eggs benedict - two poached eggs and sour dough toast with smashed peas and slow

This little restaurant is on the seafront just between the new and the old pier, and offers a great view of the beach. Their menu is a selection of sandwiches, burgers and fish & chips. We all had burgers, there were good but the beef could have been a bit less cooked to be perfectly soft and juicy.
Usually I always eat a Fish & Chips when I am in Brighton.

My friend and I went for breakfast here. She has been here before and proper vouched. We were too early in so we had to wait till the staff has laid out the tables and chairs outside. The staff were nice enough to let us hang about.
We both had their full English breakfast and it was so good! Note attention to detail and yes, the bacon was crispy. Even the coffee was spot on. I'd say the price was right too. It would be such a lovely place to be in the summer, I can imagine. I shall return! Such a good find ^_^
