About The Bandstand Cafe Bistro

Sitting right on Brighton seafront, this small bistro is an easy stop with children in tow — buggy access works, there are high chairs and a kids' menu, and outdoor tables mean you can park a pram beside you and let everyone watch the sea. It's table service, so once you're in you can stay put rather than queuing with a toddler on your hip. Breakfast is the strength: the full English gets glowing mentions, along with shakshuka, chilli scrambled eggs and a salmon and cheese omelette, all served hot and quickly without anyone being rushed out. Mellow jazz plays, the staff are warm, and dogs get treats and a water bowl at the door. It's quaint and cosy rather than roomy, and there's no WiFi — bring your own data.
