Restaurants · Brighton
Brighton parents will find this one sits at the smarter end of a family lunch out — upscale but not stuffy, with a terrace that's lovely in sunshine and easier with a pram than the inside tables. High chairs, a kids' menu and vegan options are all there, and staff are attentive without hovering, happy to sort a mocktail or fix a problem when asked. Food is the draw: the fillet steak with beef fat chips gets rapturous mentions, the chocolate fondant even more so, and a midweek wagyu steak-and-chips deal around £22 makes it far more affordable than the à la carte. Worth knowing: it can get properly loud when a big table is in, mains climb steeply, and one parent found it worth checking the bill. Book ahead, especially at weekends.
