Why it's worth checking out
Cafe Brio is a South Brighton café and restaurant built around coffee, brunch and dinner, with a menu influenced by Italian Mediterranean cooking. The kitchen draws on more than 12 years of experience and focuses on responsibly sourced ingredients. The website also promotes seasonal specials, although it does not list the individual dishes online.
The venue’s character is warm and relaxed, with a cosy atmosphere designed to feel welcoming rather than formal. Its founders say the idea grew from a love of friendship, refined food and old jazz, and that sense of connection remains central to the space. It is presented as somewhere to catch up with friends, mark a special occasion or settle in with a coffee and some quiet time.
Cafe Brio suits a range of visits: casual brunches, dinner plans, small celebrations or solo time spent working in a comfortable setting. The multicultural team brings different ideas to the menu and service, while the venue’s South Brighton location gives it the feel of a local neighbourhood spot. With a Google rating of 4.4 from 350 reviews, it has also built a strong local following.
