Monkeechops in Brighton and Hove

I’ve only been for coffee and croissant but I’ve been more than once and whether you like records or not it is one of those places where everyone will join in a conversation. The focus is music as they sell Vinyl but the chef is French and the cost for food and drink very reasonable. The cafe/restaurant is in a parade of shops in a residential area so you can park outside although it is on a bus route. Some Saturday evenings and Sunday lunch times it becomes a pop up restaurant where you can BYO. Not for the romantic meal for two as this is a small venue with tables quite close together but I’ve been told by a friend who went there for dinner that everyone talks to everyone else and it has a good vibe. I image booking is required in the evenings but for breakfast; lunch or just a coffee and a browse just pop in and see.

Amazing tasting menu & cocktails at The Cellar restaurant.

We stopped in here on our way home from dinner. At first we thought it was a regular bakery, if you’ve ever been to Brighton you know there are many, however we were very wrong. We both had the Oreo cake and it was DELICIOUS. A really tasty cake that wasn’t too sweet and was the perfect after dinner dessert. The only down side is that there isn’t a Dolce Vita in my home town haha!

Easily my favourite bar ever. JYD is a diamond in the rough. Exuding effortless cool they host stunning music, performance, serve great food and have an amazingly friendly, cosy environment. There is always something amazing happening there, be it art exhibitions, crazy game nights, comedy, music, spoken word and so much more. The staff are knowledgable, helpful and superbly cool. Reminds me of a time before corporate consistency and money ruined all character and charm. The coolest place to meet or chill at any time of day.

My absolute favourite food van, I highly recommend a double "firey Chicken Thing with bacon and cheese in a norfolk crunch roll". Great value fantastic banter Superb food ...Cheryl's a superstar !! I cannot recommend highly enough. !
