The ethos behind this venue is an all-day experience. It seems as if its main service isn’t the cocktails, coffee, or brunch, but rather vibes. You’re expected to enjoy yourself here, to be able to sit down, enjoy the atmosphere and the aesthetics and feel yourself. An experience that is meant to be supplemented by the food and drinks, but strongly supplemented; the restaurant is proud of what they serve.
This location is perfect for brunches, serving a broad menu of brunch foods, pancakes, sandwiches, and smoothie bowls (a really interesting proposition that has the appearance of frozen cocktails, but fruity and healthy). The ‘XOXOs Breakfast’ is a twist on a classic cooked breakfast, featuring smoked back bacon, your choice of eggs, local sausage, mushroom, mini rostis, tomatoes, beans, and toast.
From 9am-3.30pm, bottomless brunch is available, and this is a speciality of XOXO Brighton, you can choose any breakfast, brunch, or sandwich and receive unlimited Prosecco, bottled Sol, frozen Margaritas, or Frose, for under £30. Want to catch up with some friends you haven’t seen in a while? Ideal. Want to start the day off celebrating some good news? Perfect. Even just fancy making the most of a good deal in a fashionable venue, sitting outside and people watching? XOXO Brighton is worth visiting.
The cocktail menu isn’t the largest, it is supplemented by smoothies, juice, and craft beer, however. It must be said, also, that it is a varied list, and the venue put focus and detail into these drinks. When you’ve ordered a Melonade Spritz or a Choc Orange Martini, you will want it on your Instagram, if you don’t have Instagram, you will want to download it, this is the sort of venue that you want to share with everyone you know. Located just inside the Lanes and a stone's throw from Brighton Pier, this venue is one to experience.
