Jo & Co Restaurants in Brighton and Hove

Go for brunch, not for dinner. We've been to Jo & Co a few times and it's a great spot for brunch, however, going for dinner was a bit disappointing. There was very little atmosphere and our dishes were underwhelming for the price paid. The service, as always, was great.

Jo&Co is by far the best place to eat in Hove! The staff go above & beyond; the food is consistently incredible; the drinks are delicious, from coffee to cocktails; the décor & atmosphere are spot on! We love going there & couldn’t think of anywhere better to celebrate my birthday 🥂 x

I had dinner there not brunch (I think it’s speciality is brunch) food wasn’t bad but nothing amazing (loved the chicken burger and mocktail) it was missing some finesse…the pancake ms with Nutella didn’t taste like Nutella and the chips that came with the burger just seemed like McDonald’s fries with some oregano on them. But service was still great and food is nice but just nothing special…I’d go back to try brunch but not dinner

I booked a large table for 12 to celebrate leaving working to have a baby today, and everyone at Jo&Co could not have been friendlier and more accommodating. Every order was correct, food came out quickly, staff were really welcoming.

The best place in Hove - my go to. Jo, Pete and all the staff are amazing, the food is always soooo good, and the atmosphere is great! Such a gem of a place.

Wow just wow, me and my friends came to your lovely restaurant on Saturday as I was a lucky winner for the brunch for 4. The food was absolutely amazing the drink was amazing, , the service was amazing also. All the staff are so lovely and welcoming. Peter And Jo thank you for making our time enjoyable and can’t wait to come back soon. X x X x

Quick service, attentive staff , family friendly, good menu .

excellent food and very friendly staff. would definitely recommend

I come here from Rottingdean every few weeks because I feel at home here. Their chicken and chorizo salad is divine and the lovely waitress pushed the chef to make it for me before lunch midday which I was very grateful for. We were often checked in on and their coffees are delish. They are always consistently welcoming and deliver amazing quality dishes. Thank you!

Best place in Hove for food, atmosphere and service 🙌

100/10 This place is bonkers good! Service is exceptional, the food is delish (Cornbread Fritter things are ridiculously good!), atmosphere is lush, and its super family friendly. One of my fav spots in Hove full stop!

I've been to Jo & Co many times and often recommended it as its such a lovely, welcoming place with a great menu. They do my favourite pancakes in Brighton, and their whole breakfast/brunch menu is brilliant. The service is some of the best in town - the owners in particular are ever present and greet you like old friends even if you're not a regular. I also love that there are frequently lots of cute dogs in with their owners - any venue with dogs is a winner in my book.

This is my go-to place in Hove. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been. Service is always lovely, I’ve felt so welcomed every visit. Fantastic quality of food and options on the menu. I’m a vegetarian and am always spoilt for choice, I do tend to go for the same thing most times - I love that chilli cornbread. Perfect place for all occasions, whenever I have people staying with me, it’s the place I take them, every person is thoroughly impressed. Highly recommend 💖

I’ve been to Jo & Co quite a few times now - the food and drinks are always delicious, and the service is great! My most recent visit was with my work friends for a bubbles brunch, it was excellent value and we had such a good time. Will for sure be back again soon :)

Great service from Pete - very friendly, welcoming and attentive throughout. This was matched by the food. Excellent produce beautifully prepared. Lovely decor (dinosaur wall paper section was fun) and relaxed atmosphere. 100% recommend.

The BEST place to brunch in Brighton and Hove. I look forward to a cheeky add on of Jo’s famous cornbread as soon as the weekend rolls around. Top notch and always has been.

We are very lucky to have Jo & Co on our doorstep and get the chance to visit regularly! Pete, Jo and the team provide excellent service and always make us feel at home! The food is always delicious and the atmosphere is lovely! Make sure you visit if you’re in the area, you won’t regret it!

Been here so many times, it’s consistently brilliant in every possible way.

Definitely my favorite place for brunch in Brighton!! Food is amazing, service impeccable.... Thank you guys for everything ❤️

Friendly welcoming staff and good food/drinks… but was left baffled at the overpricing for 2 tiny hashbrowns added to the bill.… I asked the waiter/owner if there was any chance of adding some hash browns to my order of eggs on sourdough (£9) to which he politely said yes. The way he was responding was as if he would include them in the price, therefore my friend asked if she could possibly add bacon on to hers. (We were both willing to pay of course but his response suggested as if he was adding them for free - given the tiny portion I assumed that was the case too) When the bill came and he had added £3 for the bacon and £2.50 for the TINY hash browns left a sour taste. As lovely as he was, he should have stated the price beforehand rather than making it seem as though this would be a polite gesture on his behalf. Of course I don’t expect anything for free in the current climate - but I think that was excessive. Won’t be going back here unfortunately!

Always enjoy Jo and Co! Great food and very fare prices. Disappointed to read recent review as obviously you’ll be charged if you ask for extras, ask how much if you need to know but don’t expect freebies! Imagine if everyone had freebies - businesses would go bankrupt.

Fantastic service and the food is incredible. Always recommend friends and family to head there. Looking forward to my next meal 😍🤤

My favourite place for brunch in the area (there is a lot of competition) Food and service are always spot on. Only blemish was that time I asked to add a pound of lobster to my avocado toast, to my complete shock, I was charged for it! It didn't diminish the experience. If anything, it was a teachable moment that I will not forget for the rest of my days on this planet.

This is my all time favourite place to eat, ever. The atmosphere, the food, the decor, are all outstanding and I have never had a bad time here. I’ve brought all my family and friends and my husband and I love it for the wonderful service. They also do the best cocktails, unusual coffees and amazing food, brunch, lunch and dinner hit the mark every time! The best thing about this restaurant though? The people who work there. From the chefs, the serving staff, everyone are amazing but I’m not surprised as they have the two most lovely caring kind and sweet hard working owners. Been going for years and we will keep coming back!

Enjoyed our brunch/lunch on Sunday for our daughter's 10th birthday. As per normal you didn't disappoint. A little birthday surprise at the end...thank you. We'll be back again soon.

Wonderful team who serve a great brunch with friendly vibes. Never disappointed when we go here

Delicious food, beautiful restaurant and lovely people. I don’t like sausages so I asked to swap the sausages for extra hash browns and it was no problem for them. Highly recommend and will be back!

It was a lovely sunny day in Hove and my friend and I were lucky enough to get an outside table. We ordered a brunch and really enjoyed the amazing flavours in our food. The drinks and friendly service just topped it off nicely. We had such a great experience here! Definitely will be back and maybe dine inside next time.

Had a wonderful lunchy brunch here; the menu caters for all and the portion sizes are generous. Lovely staff and atmosphere and did not feel rushed. Looking forward to visiting again and trying something else form the menu.

I first experienced Jo & Co 4 years ago between lock downs. Then during lock down two had the pleasure of meals delivered to the door including a wonderful New Years eve meal which was amazing. Being able to walk in and experience the restaurant is amazing. The staff are great, the food is amazing, honestly, the corn bread 🥰. And Co! What a legend. Pete is such an incredible host. He and Jo have created a wonderful community restaurant. ❤️

Such a fab brunch today! Love all the different options there is available on the menu. Love the decor inside, such funky wallpaper and fun finishing touches. Massive thank you to the wonderful Yasmine, she looked after us all afternoon! 🥰

A wonderful restaurant with a relaxed vibe, great food and fab service. Big shout out to Yasmin who looked after us. She was attentive and made us laugh, a real asset to the business. The food was outstanding. Beautifully presented and tasted amazing. We had the Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon and Jo's Raclette Burger. Both were very tasty indeed. If you are looking for a brunch or lunch spot in Hove, you have to give this place a visit.

Fantastic place but expensive Please remove the 11% service charge Tips are optional This will help your restaurant

Wonderful service and very yummy food. Went for an evening meal. Lamb flatbread, burgers and halloumi bake all perfect as was the crème brûlée. Waitresses were lovely, would definitely recommend

Really enjoy eating here. They do a great selection of food and drinks, serving brunch type meals until 3 pm. They stay open throughout the day. They cater for all pallets, offering a range of sweet & savoury dishes. They also offer a good selection of alternative milks, especially coconut milk, which is important to me and my family. My coconut latte was delicious. The staff are great and provide a good efficient service. They are also dog friendly, which is great, and our server kindly brought our dog a bowl of water that helped refresh him. The main toilets are downstairs, and there is also a disabled toilet on the ground floor. It's situated in the middle of Church road in Hove, with easy access to the local bus routes. There is no dedicated parking, but there is parking available in the surrounding streets that are a 5 minute walk away. Beware of resident parking areas and use the correct public parking spaces. Otherwise, penalties will be enforced. You will need the paybyphone app to pay for your parking session. It's probably best to book your table in advance. I'm already looking forward to our next visit and I'm happy to recommend it.

The staff at Jo & Co are friendly and deliver an exceptional service. The food is amazing and it's a great place to go for breakfast, bunch or lunch. It's also Dog friendly.

Very popular with wonderful staff. We hadn’t booked but they did what they could to get us a table. The food was fantastic - we loved it!

We had brunch at Jo & Co and absolutely loved it. I had the smashed avocado on sourdough with poached eggs and halloumi and it was lovely. The decor and service were both great. The food also didn’t take long to come after ordering probably around 10 minutes.

Our first time at Jo & Co’s and we absolutely loved it! Drinks and food were unbelievably delicious. The service was so so speedy, attentive and personable - you can feel how much the owners love their creation! When we’re next in Brighton, we will be back! 100% recommend and wow, what a fabulous restaurant you’ve built. C & J x

One of the best vegetarian brunches I've ever had. It was absolutely superb. Definitely, definitely recommend!

Fabulous place with great device and very nice food ! Went for breakfast before the gay pride started and the place was almost full, The atmosphere was electric, buzzing with energy and the service was sa fabulous as the decor. I had a very nice eggs royale and a creme brûlée, a very good one. Highly recommended

Looked forward to it but was lacking something .Seemed a popular place ,but not a place for us unfortunately and a little overpriced.

I went for late lunch and as always great food and excellent service!

We had a lovely brunch and break from a sudden rain. The food selections were delicious and great service.

We had our 50th Birthday party at Jo & Co it was AMAZING! They really couldn’t do enough for us & our guests, made the whole night so enjoyable, from the kind staff, the service, the venue, the drinks selections, price, everything was just perfect! We have been in a few times now for brunch which was delicious and that’s when we decided we wanted to have a party there. Thank you so much Jo & Co for everything we will be back in soon Ali & Graeme xx

One of my favourite restaurants to have brunch on weekends. Great location, interesting and beautiful decor, friendly service, lovely owners and delicious food. The shakshouka is to die for! Highly recommended.

Amazing food and cocktails, and extremely friendly and helpful staff! Can’t wait to come back! Love the interior decorating!

Really good food. Had eggs on corn bread. Friendly staff. Would love to go back next time in Hove.

Excellent experience. Great food, smiley, efficient service, loved it! There’s such a choice in this part of Hove, I can’t believe we hadn’t been before. We’ve been missing out.

I cannot thank Jo & Co enough! After being let down by a restaurant in Brighton at the last minute Jo & Co saved the day accommodating 7 diners on a Sunday. They did everything possible to make my day special and make us feel like we were the most important people despite us originally booking to go elsewhere. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable and I'm so grateful. Come here every time it's simply the best!!!

Cannot recommend this divine gem enough! Jo, the owner was so accommodating and helpful on a very busy Sunday morning. It was very busy and after our experience, I can see just why. Great service, fantastic food and the decor and ambience is just amazing. Thank you to Jo and her team for being absolutely fantastic 🫶🏼

Great food and service. We are regulars.

We often visit this restaurant. Food is always amazing with excellent choices. The staff are always friendly with great service. Jo and Pete are welcoming kind and connect well with their team bringing you the best dining experience. Thank you 🙏🏽

Everything about this place is brilliant

Lovely chilled place. Really tasty brunch. And hot too, sat outside. Very attentive 🙂

Had an absolutely fab brunch here today! Been here plenty of times now due Jo and her husband Pete running one of the best brunch spots in Brighton and Hove. Today we had the hash and a veggie full english. Was delish and arrived quickly. Because we were sitting outside today we had a couple of crisp pints in the sun, but normally we have coffee which is always fab. A recommend to all Brighton and Hove newbies

Very good food, good service and nice atmosphere. Enjoyed it. The rum cocktail was great.

Great place for brunch and lunch. Very attentive staff.

My family and I visited Jo and Co on a busy Saturday lunch time. The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere and friendly, welcoming staff. It was very difficult to choose what to order from the Jo and Co menu as every dish sounded delicious, in the end I opted for the asparagus, broccoli and halloumi salad, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I am already planning to return to Jo and Co in the near future to try some more of their delicious dishes. I will remember to book however, as it does get rather busy at peak times.

Very nice brunch restaurant. Plenty of choices from English Breakfast (veg option too), hashes, eggs, pancakes to burgers 🍔 Good portions and tasty food. There is cocktail menu, wine and soft drinks. Advice to book in advance, no tables available when visiting (we had our booking luckily). You can book via google maps(you’ll need to confirm later but very easy). Great service and the open kitchen, which is so interesting to see.

Always love coming back to Jo&Co! We always have such a great experience here, the food is always amazing, staff are lovely and service is 10/10 Thank you !

Love this restaurant This is establishment is exactly how a restaurant should be, quality, clean and service is always on point. The restaurant has a great vibe and the staff are extremely friendly I recommend this place too as many people as I can.

Great place for lunch - we booked very last minutes but the host was very accommodating. Foods come fresh and fast (on a Sunday brunch!!)

We walked half an hour especially to have late breakfast here and was amazing. Food was delicious and Eton mess at the end was spot on 🙌 If you are in Brighton you must go in 😍

Absolutely faultless. Interesting menu, loads of choice. Really good quality food and drinks. Excellent service and lovely decor. Perfect!

- great location - great coffee - great breakfast - great staff - serve water at start - offer cups and cutlery for children - good children’s menu - great atmosphere - clean toilets We would definitely come back again! Thank you ♥️🙏

Great food and friendly staff in a lovely setting. Have eaten here many times and would highly recommend.

I wasn't feeling too well but braved the outdoor seats in February. Pete was soo kind to offer a warm glass of milk whilst we waited for the food. "The Hashes" was absolutely amazing with the beef - recommendation came from Pete. The plate was empty in 5 minutes. The service is amazing and this is hands down the best brunch spot on the south coast.

This is a lovely place to visit in the centre of Hove. The staff are lovely and friendly. The menu is varied and interesting especially the brunch items. We had wonderful pancakes that were light and fluffy with lashings of maple syrup and crispy bacon/sweet berries (we had different versions). You can choose from a stack of 3, 5 or 7! The coffee was excellent and we’ll be going back soon.

Lovely and delicious, great portions, very nice service! Thank you!

A genuine warm welcome is waiting for you if you choose to visit Jo & Co. The food, drinks, staff and atmosphere are truly excellent and second to none in Hove. You'd need to go a long way to match it let alone beat it. Thank-you Jo & Co you're all great 👍

Great food selection and friendly service

the environment is also nice. Low quality food. French fries are worse than fast-food ones. the desserts are 100% industrialized. the service in the room is horrible. waitresses who stink of tobacco and alcohol.

Great food and friendly welcoming team. Tasty freshly prepared food. The restaurant extends at the back with an unusual jungle theme. The gorilla is not be missed. Very Dog Friendly 🐶

Although we were there when it opened the heaters were nearby Comfortably sat down we enjoyed the breakfast especially the scrambled eggs not many places get it right so we'll be back

Fantastic service from the staff. For our late girly afternoon meet up, Jo and Co provided quick, personalised service with a smile. Brilliant food and definitely a return for us girls. Thanks Jo and Co! We will return!!

Great experience. Took my cockerpoo Great food. Great atmosphere. Genuine establishment Keep up the great work. I’ll be back

Have been here twice now. The first time I came for a bottomless brunch to cheer my friend up after a recent break up. The service was exceptional. A gentleman who I think may have been the manager or the owner checked all our needs were met and when the drinks arrived, offered for my friend to open the fizz for some good cheer. The food was quick to arrive and lovely, I had the hash that day and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was so impressed with the service and the food that I booked it again, this time for a relatively last minute birthday brunch. They accommodated about 20 of us upstairs and the service was again phenomenal. The highlight for me that day was the best Bloody Mary I've ever had, followed by the little brownies topped with birthday candles (pictured after I'd eaten some!) which the staff had organised for me. I had the shakshouka that day and again was very impressed so, when the other day my friend's birthday plans fell through, I recommended Jo & Co. They were able to fit him in and he also had a blast. I will definitely be back.

Great food, great service, cant wait to go back

Great place for brunch, highly recommend, excellent service and quality food!

Rave reviews about the brunch here so had to give this place a go. Made a reservation given the popularity on New Year’s Day. On arrival we were met by what best could be described as a glare by the maître D followed by a look up and down. So odd. We told her we’d made a reservation but rather than take us to our table she promptly decided to clear a nearby table and take the plates away. Made to stand at the entrance for what seemed like an eternity although in fairness was probably 3-4 minutes. 3-4 minutes too long in my opinion. Perhaps the most unwelcome greeting I’ve had for a long while. Our actual waiter was however kindness and courtesy personified. Perhaps he should teach his female colleague a thing or two. Anyways to the libation and degustation. The drinks were sublime. A deep rich perfectly spiced Bloody Mary was a thing of beauty as was a fresh and gloriously vibrant green smoothie. Food I’m sad to say was decidedly average. The kiddies fish fingers and chips was basically a marriage made of Captain Birdseye and McCains. The Hollandaise for the eggs benny was radioactively yellow and runny. My spiced chicken burger and the deep fried calamari were perfectly acceptable but woefully under seasoned. I had to ask for the salt and I never usually add extra salt (I’m a cardiologist btw). The maître’D had a smile for every other customer that arrived after us. Perhaps we just weren’t the right fit for this establishment. This place certainly wasn’t the right fit for us.

Lovely food. The cod and chorizo main with cous cous was absolutely delicious.

Lovely welcoming staff, great service and very tasty and good portion sizes. So much better experience/value than others in the area.

Always fantastic. Every single time.

No atmosphere very cold inside . Chips were hard

Thank you for the lovely female assistance and returning my phone today. Wish I could of took her home with me. Was a bit disappointed that her card was not inside,,,wink Many thanks ken 07802 545224 x

The food was exceptional. Great quality ingredients and delicious breakfast tea too. Was served by Jo and she was amazing. Can't wait to go back! Best breakfast in Hove (I've had a few!) X

Fantastic hidden gem in Hove. Great food. Great service. Lovely ambience.

The food is excellent and fresh Nice choice or speciality coffees and latte. Great atmosphere and the staff is very nice.

Second time I have been here for lunch and on both occasions everything has been excellent. Owners & staff attentive, never rush you despite being extreme busy and people waiting for a table,so better if you can book. On this occasion I had a sourdough open sandwich of cream cheese, avocado, spinach leaves topped with smoked salmon, sliced dill pickle and seeds, absolutely delicious, amazing combination of flavours, followed by pecan pie with vanilla ice cream, most of which I bought home, I choose 2 very rich courses! My husband had the 'Banging chicken & fries with salad garnish, looked good, followed by Eaton mess,cleared both and he thoroughly enjoyed his first visit here. Portions are generous,well presented. I must add that they not only take great pride in their food/drinks but in cleanliness. Tables/chairs are wiped down after each use and toilets spotless. Would recommend a visit.

Great place to have brunch after a 20 minute park run on the seafront on a Saturday morning. Plus the window seat is a great observation spot to watch the varied sights you might experience at 10.00 am after a heavy Friday eve. Food is delicious, staff are friendly, atmosphere is vibrant. Definitely worth a visit.

Lovely atmosphere. Great coffee

Definitely recommend the hashes ! , the pink and blue lattes looked rlly pretty but didn’t rlly taste like much but still rlly nice 🩷

Really great place for brunch. Friendly staff and delicious full English!

Great place for brunch on a lazy Sunday. I would recommend booking on weekends, but we got lucky as a walk-in on a Sunday.

First time at Jo & co. We had a great meal with our granddaughter (highly recommended by her). Lovely food and atmosphere. The staff very helpful 👏 We will definitely be back .thank you

Wow just Wow. Jo and Co accommodated our large family group, with ages ranging from 17 to 90 years young, for brunch. The whole process was run so smoothly from arrival, through ordering and the delivery of the food it appeared so effortless from the hosts despite the number and various requests for tea or coffee! The fact that 24 plates of food were all eaten with only empty plates being returned is testament to the standard of their food. Comments from the group included 'haven't they looked after us well' and good choice of venue the food was delicious' and 'isn't the decor fabulous'. Jo and Co you were faultless thank you so very much you did not disappoint. Please pass on our thanks to your whole team xx

Best eggs benedict I've ever had! Lovely place, lovely staff and great food!
