Modelo Lounge in Brighton and Hove

Another great Lounge restaurant. Brilliant gluten free and vegan choices

Came here on a lovely sunny day for a post- walk brunch. It was busy inside but the staff seated us right away and were very friendly and attentive throughout- even offering us another table as we were in direct sunlight by the window. We declined the offer as it was the first time we’d actually had any sun for such a long time! Had a flat white which was very well made and opted for the Miami brunch. It was everything I wanted it to be- the sweetcorn fritters were crispy and slightly sweet, paired amazingly with 2 perfectly poached eggs. The rest of the meal was a wonderful mix of creamy avocado and a zingy pico de gallo. Really well presented and very tasty. Will definitely pop in again when next in Hove.

Terrible portion size! Especially for the price! Ordered a vegan Buddha bowl.. the waitress came back with two bowls of bread and told me it was filling.. ah.. the bread would be but the sqwit of food in my bowl with actual nutrients wouldn’t! Absolutely ridiculous!! It’s not like the ingredients are expensive! Terrible! Been coming here for years, completely boycotting! Thanks for my bread with my side salad!!

Lovely little quirky restaurant. Excellent food and the staff were lovely.

Love this place. They really take good care for food allergies like coeliac and have a great vegan menu too. Katie served us today and just makes ordering with an allergy feel like no issues at all. A great service with a smile and the whole team are always good consistently x

Classic lounge bar. Food came faster than drinks Good for kids and decent price

Great staff who immediately offered vegan and gluten free menus as we arrived. Nice atmosphere and happy customers. Good for families. I went for brunch but now plan a return for the cocktails 🍸 👌.

Perfect for those of us with babies, toddlers & little 'uns in tow. This place totally gets that eating out & kids can be tricky. My 2.5 years old granddaughter loves Modelo; whereas it was my first visit. She was happy drawing, playing games whilst munching pancakes. That enabled the grown-ups to have a leisurely brunch & two lots of coffee. The menu suits all and prices are not too bad. Staff are lovely. Be warned:if you are rather useless at ordering via scanning a QR code, then this is not the place for you. Or if you don't like children. Otherwise, it is my new favourite posh Hove csff.

Pleasant place, order by phone.

I was there last week for breakfast I would like to say that was amazing testing, and very cosy atmosphere I recommend it for everyone

Always busy and buzzing lovely atmosphere. But don't like dogs in restaurants

I Loved the place , really cozy and the decorations are really nice and vintage 😍🤩🤩

Comfortable environment, good food, affordable prices.

Lovely lunch with my youngest son. ♥️

Went in one day, staff member was really friendly, coffee was great, nice and quiet. Went back the next day, screaming kids all over the place, had to double check I was in the same building. Giving 3 stars to average my 5* and 1* experiences in this place.

Had a great lunch and it's got a great gluten free stand alon menu, which made ordering so much easier. Food fantastic staff very informative helpful and friendly also a lovely atmosphere.

Very friendly and welcoming staff delivering amazing food and drinks, we will be back 👏👏👏

Food pretty good. The ambience was lovely. The app worked great for service. I'd definitely go back!

Looking forward to making this a regular meeting place for our group of ten.

As a Dad who likes to go for a bit of food and a pint now and then this is perfect to take the kids. Super friendly place, lovely atmosphere and staff always really friendly and helpful. Food is also good and reasonably priced. Always a reliably good time had at Modelos.

Personally really like this place as a treat. It's affordable good food with lovely staff. They have a wide range of options for Vegans and Vegetarians too. But I 99% of the time have there really delicious beef burger. It can get very busy in here, sometimes very loud too but it's not uncomfortable.

I love the environment in this cafe, I go often and they have a vegan menu too really good for Coptic Orthodox guys when we are fasting

Spent a couple of hours here with a group for a chat over drinks, found the place reasonable and the evening quiet enjoyable.

Lovely environment, reasonably priced, clean and great service once ordered. Cant't beat the avocado brunch!

Doesn't get any better. Great chilled venue on Church road Lovely staff, breakfast and coffee

Great family breakfast catchup. Heaps of good tasty food and not expensive. Will come again.

Apart from having a drink split down me( The staff were more than apologetic) it was a great place to be

Good atmosphere Great menu, and service, full menu available all day so I had a chicken avocado and bacon burger with chips for brunch. Very nice.

Excellent food and service know every visit.

Lovely friendly service through-out my visit. Tasty food. I left my phone behind and staff kept it safe for me which I truly appreciate.

We practically live at Modelo, for several reasons... Food - the variety is amazing, which is especially important with a child and a vegan on board. The vegan and GF menus are extensive and all the food is made with love. Staff - every staff member seems to have been hired because of just being a really good person. They couldn't be more welcoming, helpful, gentle and warm. Drinks - always a good selection of tasty beers and plenty of stuff in the fridge for the kid. Atmosphere - it is lovely and cosy both in the summer, with the big windows, and in the winter with the off beat decor and lamps. Games - although quite a few are missing bits (!) there is a lot of stuff to play! Thanks Modelo x

Really nice environment for a lovely brunch with Family and friends including kids.

Tasty and good value. Friendly staff. Tapas Tuesday is great with a free glass of wine or beer. Good variety of options for all times of day

Nice breakfast and good menu service was a bit

My son and I dropped in here for a late lunch. The menu was great and the food just as good. My son had the all day breakfast and the staff happily accommodated his preferences. I had the chicken flatbread which was huge and very tasty. The service was friendly and quick. For Brighton the prices were reasonable too. We will certainly be back.

Excellent tasty food, and great service....

Lovely place to chat , snack drink or have a bigger meal . Food delicious but bar/ app ordering is irksome. Drinks are all fairly priced, but cocktails lack 'punch' . Too much ice is part of the issue.

Lounge bacon cheeseburger is amazing nice atmosphere for food or just drinks recommended

Bad quality for that prizes but good stuff and enviroment

Coffee was good, service was fast and friendly

The food was so bad and dry. Every thing was over cooked and too expensive for how bad ot was. Staff were great and friendly. Professional and made it much better

Lovely venue with nice relaxed lighting and cosy but chic decor. Great atmosphere with excellent service and the cocktails were delicious with wonderful tapas. Will certainly return again to try the extensive menu!

Excellent Venue. Loved the atmosphere.

I come here every week. The food is great. I’ve tried a few things on the menu. The staff are very friendly and always welcoming

Great food and a good atmosphere. Definitely recommend trying this place out.

A great breakfast / brunch spot

I love The Lounges and this one in Hove is no exception. Great food with great Gluten Free options/menu, good coffee, great staff. The décor is always fun to enjoy with each Lounge.

Excllent gf menu, lots of choice and reasonable prices.

Took a long time with our order food cold been loads of time hope this was a one off but my friends don't want to go again

My wife and I were in the area and decided to go here for breakfast. The service was very prompt… We ordered our food and drinks and were both very happy with what we had. We would definitely return.

Fantastic decorating, great food, lovely staff. A hidden gem.

Great service, friendly staff and good food work great vegan options. We tend to order via the QR code site and before I've put phone down the drinks arrive! Super fast service and the good is always tasty and well presented. We've visited several Lounges restaurants and they are all great. Modelo Lounge is our local, and our favourite! We highly recommend it.

Blooming great, never been before but would definitely come back as would my guests too. Lovely atmosphere, staff and best of all the food. Great quality and not served cold.

Fantastic food in a great atmosphere with friendly staff. We had the tapas dishes which were delicious.

Had tapas with the wife , very enjoyable... 3 for 12 quid I think .. halloumi, patas bravas, meatballs , honey whipped hummus, flat breads etc.. very reasonable.. drinks about average,, Large glass of wine £9.15 .. service was good and modelo lounge with all the front windows open is very nice..

We booked a table for 12 people, we ordered food at the bar separately and all was served at the same time. Quality was excellent, everyone was happy, would recommend this place highly

Fantastic friendly service from all the staff here. Food arrived promptly and together even though ordered separately. Will be visiting again soon.

I like the ordering and paying from your table. Sherbert lemonade was amazing. I had 2 tapas dishes and both were lovely

This is one of those places I've walked past so many times and thought.. Must give it a try... This past weekend my wife and I stopped in... So glad we did. We shared 6 tapas dishes which were all delicious. You get 3 for £12..Service was friendly and welcoming... It's got a great vibe. Seems really suitable for all ages including those with little ones. Will certainly visit again soon.

Sausage in a roll and pancakes 🥞 with blueberries 🫐 and cream 🍶really nice, and freshly squeeze glass of orange 🍊 juice 😋 and latte, when visit Hove again, would definitely go back 🤗

Lovely place, good value food and drinks and super quick service.

What a little gem! Amazing menu, I found it hard to choose! And a whole menu for our vegans friends, and another menu for our children... so much to choose from. They have abundance of toys to play with and even a craft corner for children. The staff were good energy and incredibly friendly. I had the Meze Salad - loved it! We will be back.

Super place for meeting up with friends. Good for a chat over coffee or a relaxing beer.

Always great food chefs will accommodate any special requests as best they can . Wasnt pleased with a dish i ordered but staff did apologise and offer me a complimentary addition to my order .this was greatly appreciated by me and would always suggest the establishment as one of my favourites for healthy food and relaxed atmosphere..

Lovely welcome, fast friendly service, and good, well priced food. One of our favourite Sunday brunch/Linner venues. 🙂

Eat here about once a week. Says it all really. Good food, service and atmosphere. Fair prices too

Good choice of food. Staff couldn't be more helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed having a good meal with couple of beers.

Just amazing. I wouldn't normally order a vege breakfast, but after trying some of the bits n pieces from my wife's, would definitely have that here. Great coffee and pastries too.

This place is always great service and has a great gluten free selection. Kimmy in particular gives consistantly great service and is always friendly.

By far the best veggie breakfast and flat white I think I have ever had!! Not much more to say really except go!!!

Popped in for a coffee and a chat. Good atmosphere. Reasonable prices for coffee in Brighton & Hove.

Lovely friendly place. Really good range of food including all day brunch which was just perfect. Haven't been in the evening but the menu looks like good food and a fair range of drinks. Clean environment, relaxing atmosphere. Recommended

Servers were really good and so so helpful

Food excellent, service great, nice decor 👌

Nous avons pris des breakfasts dans ce joli café tout plein de couleurs. Autour de 10£ (le veggie, le classique et les autres, avec boisson qu'il faut néanmoins rajouter), les plats sont bien garnis, bien faits et healthy. Je recommande l'atmosphère chaleureuse de ce petit café à Hove ! Mention spéciale pour leurs jus d'ailleurs (Peachy !)

Classic place. Menu keeps updating including new dishes. Friendly staff and food at reasonable prices. Very busy on the weekends difficult to get a table if it’s a bigger group. Also has board games. Can use the mobile application to order food to your table. Parking is tricky as it’s on the Main Street.

Food was lovely, service was great, and it had a nice atmosphere - would recommend giving it a try!

We really enjoyed our time here! Very nice friendly staff. Very dog-friendly. They had some treats for dogs at the bar. ☺️

Fantastic food, staff and ambience

Why not call last orders? It gives people a chance to finish their drinks.....

2nd time I visited, the service was excellent, however, the 1st time, I walked out, as I was ignored at the counter by the lady making coffee. She looked at me, & didn't even acknowledge my presence.. so, I left.. But, 2 days later, I tried again, & the service was excellent, by 2 lovely girls... the one I had been ignored by, seemed absent. Food was great...

We didn't eat but Coffee ok👍 & Pot of Tea for me ! 👍

This was my first visit here on a friend's recommendation. There was a nicely friendly atmosphere. It was busy and is clearly very popular. I will be happy to return another time. The staff were attentive and polite.

I have been to a few Lounges around the country, and I have never been disappointed. On this occasion, I had the Vegan Biryani Bowl, which was amazing, a bit spicier than expected, but very tasty. I recommend getting the flatbread to complement it. The staff were friendly and the service was very prompt. I will definitely visit again when in the area.

Best shakshuka I've tried. And I'm obsessed with shakshuka:)

I visit Modelo Lounge often mainly because of the extensive gluten free menu. I am a particular fan of the Lounge Gluten Free Breakfast. The atmosphere is friendly - dogs welcome. Staff are always lovely. Would thoroughly recommend.

Was here A Week Ago for my 66th Birthday Breakfast....and Returned for more Great Food a week later , In my Area and Can't say Anything Against it, On Any Level.... Busy Of course...and so it Should BE. Well Worth it.. Thanks, Patrick 👍😁✅

Thanks for the birthday cake today for my 90 year old Mum! :-)

Delicious burgers and nice beer.

Great food and good choice of drinks. They have bi-fold windows which when open in summer are great.

Not bad for a chain pub, plenty of plug sockets for working, good menu choices, bit lacking in soul as it's a chain, feels a little contrived. No Guinness!!!

Great varied menu for a group meal, love the tapas in particular. Good for veggies and kids, good service. Reasonable prices. Order and pay on phone at the table. All good!

Good atmosphere, good food, well appointed. Worth a visit.

Really child friendly. You can park at Tesco and it’s a five minute walk. Always seems like the people working there are happy, and we always have a good time.

Great food . Delicious soups and burgers. Will definitely come back.

Lovely place to visit. Nice food and a good children's menu.

Really enjoyed a great lunch here, lovely place, good diverse menu, dog friendly, good stuff guys 👌

Must say a great improvement on last time. Was not going to go back but gave it another try, A lot better.

Really enjoyed the food here, prompt and friendly service too. Packed at 4.30 on a Sunday so obviously popular! Only criticism would be could you have a pale ale from a little, independent Sussex producer rather than the ubiquitous Brewdog?

Love the lounges. Love the eclectic feel and that you can use it for different activities - a quick coffee and catch-up, lunch, working on your laptop, cocktails in the eve. Also love that you can order on the app - great for my autistic brain.
