Wonderful cafe in woodland corner. Owners are always welcoming, coffee is amazing; they roast their own. Perfect latte with the smallest bubbles I've ever seen. Brilliant! Tasty toasties. Food beautifully presented. Love the place and the people!

Polpo is a bàcaro. This is a Venetian word to describe a humble restaurant serving simple food and good, young Italian wines. Located on a pretty pedestrianised street in the centre of Brighton, the restaurant is near the famous Brighton Dome, numerous shops and the Theatre Royal. Signatures on the menu include cicheti such as fried stuffed olives, arancini, fritto misto and sliced flank steak. Polpo would not be complete without a spritz, and served with both Aperol and Campari, alongside Negronis and Bellinis.

Set within a beautiful botanical backdrop, the Redroaster of today provides a little bit of everyday luxury. Tables are always available for walk-in guests during the day, even at weekends.
