Looking for a private dining space in Brighton with sea views? The Meeting Place sits directly beside the promenade, between the West Pier and the i360, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the water and a glass-fronted outdoor terrace for warmer days. Groups can book a large table for a more informal gathering or arrange exclusive hire of the restaurant for up to 150 guests. That makes it a flexible option for everything from birthdays to family celebrations, work meals and get-togethers with friends.
Inside, teal textured walls, modern chandelier-style lighting and nautical-inspired rope details reflect the seafront setting. Curved leather booth seating creates cosy corners, while the illuminated marbled-effect bar adds a contemporary focal point. Outside, the wraparound terrace puts guests right on the beach, making it particularly appealing for summer lunches, sunset drinks or relaxed celebrations by the sea. Dog-friendly and wheelchair accessible, The Meeting Place is also a practical choice for groups with different needs.
The restaurant serves all day, from breakfast through to dinner. The food offering is broad enough to suit mixed groups and caters well for vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free diners, with other dietary requirements accommodated where possible. Morning gatherings might include Eggs Benedict, Royale or Florentine, shakshuka, avocado on sourdough or pancakes. At lunchtime, the menu takes a relaxed approach with burgers and moussaka, alongside sandwiches, salads and sides.
Dinner brings a broader selection of hot and cold starters like hummus, tzatziki, smashed aubergine, calamari or padron peppers before moving on to dishes such as lamb shank, creamy chicken with mushrooms and broccoli, pan-roasted sea bass with crispy crushed potatoes or salmon fillet. A selection of salads and sides completes the evening menu.
Drinks can be kept simple or made more celebratory, with cocktails such as Lychee Martinis, Negronis and Margaritas alongside mocktails, wine, beer, soft drinks, tea and coffee.
