Petisco - Portuguese Coffee Shop in Brighton and Hove

The lady was very unfriendly. The café was empty. I ordered two coffees and waited 15 minutes at the table, which I thought was strange. I went to the counter and instead of making my coffee she was frying rissois. She didn't even apologize or justify herself. Never again.

Amazing food, lovely staff. Dina cooks from fresh and it is simply delicious. And BYO. Thank you for having us last night.

Went there after a trip and its closed ..

This was a really nice and atmospheric coffee shop. they severd great coffee a lovely cake and great service what more can you ask for

Love this place, everything is really clean, the service is out of this world and the food is 100% authentic, tastes just like what you’d eat in Portugal. The food i presented beautifully in traditional portuguese dishes and every bite give you the same amount of joy. Id recommend the Bifanas, they’re so tender, the bread is beautiful. 10/10, will definitely come back to try different stuff!

Amazing little Portuguese place. Very authentic. The food and coffee is SO tasty.

The food was delicious as always, 5 stars 🌟

A very warm and delightful bit of Portugal in Brighton. Proper coffee, the way it should be. Delicious food and desserts. Lovely people.

This restaurant made our birthday celebrations a real success. These guys are friendly and helpful and the food is gorgeous and great value for money - Highly recommended

Amazing food - love this place. Only open 1 evening - tiny place - felt very spoilt. No licence yet. Smiley friendly waiter and chef. Never eaten food this good in London Rd before!

I love popping to this cozy portuguese café whenever I can. The owner works there and she is absolutely lovely. I love going there and being able to speak portuguese 😍 The food is delicious.

Lovely cozy Portuguese place with amazing food and awesome service

Delicious 😋 everything was delicious, I will definitely be ordering again and I definitely will be going there.

Authentic, delicious Portuguese food. Open for lunchtime sandwiches and snacks midweek. Dinner on Saturday evenings

Dina’s cosy Portuguese café. Portuguese pastries are the best in the world. You should try freshly baked Jesuita with espresso. That is the taste of heaven. Bacalhau dish is also great. Semi dried cod has deeper flavour than fresh cod fillet.

What an absolutely amazing place with truly incredible food! My friends and I visited this café at the weekend as I am trying to learn Portuguese and had never tried Portuguese food before, and oh my goodness, what a fantastic decision it was to come here! As soon as we stepped in the door, the atmosphere was so cosy and welcoming. The lady running the café, Dina (forgive me if the spelling is wrong), was so welcoming and kind. We ordered a variety of different food and drinks, and everything was cooked to perfection. The taste and texture of everything was just heaven! If you come here you absolutely have to try the pastéis de bacalhau (salted cod fritters), they were to die for! This was my personal highlight of our weekend trip to Brighton and I cannot wait to come back! Muito obrigado! Até breve!

Small and friendly cafe by day come restaurant by evening serving simple Portuguese fare. We enjoyed tuna on Portuguese bread and fried cuttlefish Algarve style for starters followed by the Black Pig cutlet served with Chorizo, short ribs black pudding, game and pork sausage, potatoes and green beans while my dinner partner enjoyed Potugeuse Cod Fish Stew. To finish, an Almond Tart served with ice cream. All was lovely and none left. Service is a little slow but the team are finding their feet and we didn't feel waiting besides its a BYO so we just enjoyed our company and the courses as they arrived. Seating is quite limited but comfortable. I suggest booking ahead.

The food was loveley. Great atmophere. A tasty hidden gem of brighton.

Went here on a Saturday night for the 4 course dinner - outstanding, authentic Portuguese food (bring your own wine too!) Highlights were the salt cod with black-eyed beans and the porco preto (Portuguese black pig - you must try it!) Run by such a lovely couple too - thank you for your hospitality and generosity, we had a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

I've been a frequent visitor for a while, from Dina's kitchen to Petisco the quality of food is superb. Can't recommend this little gem enough. And friendly service to top it off

Delicious food and a warm atmosphere, really felt like a small little tasca from back home. Eat here weekly.

Faultless, absolutely fantastic coffee, Rissols & the cod fritter was delicious! I was joking when I asked for a Portuguese cappuccino. I googled it as it tasted so good……. Camelo is Portuguese! Cracking little find.

Awesome little Portuguese cafe. Incredible Bifana (Portuguese pork sandwich) Of course pastel nata (cream tart) coffe on point.

came here today - the coffee was amazing and the pastry i had was delicious (it was an almond one i dont remember the name) will definitely be coming back :) 👍

The most cute little gem! Amazing food served by amazing people!

Wonderful Caldo Verde (Kale soup) today! Very friendly service. A little hidden gem :) Thank you!

Great little coffee shop selling traditional Portuguese snacks like pasteis de bacalhua (salt cod fritters), rissois do camarão (shrimp rissoles), pastel da nata (custard tarts), bollo de arroz (rice flour muffins - my favourite) and tosta mistas (ham and cheese toasties). Croissants etc also available. Good coffee and friendly service.
