Welcome to Redroaster, the legendary café that’s become the talk of the town since the year 2000. This community-focused gem, hailed by The New York Times, who referred to it as a ‘go-to destination’ in their book, ’36 Hours: 125 Weekends in Europe’, first blessed the streets of Brighton when they transformed an old post office into the vibrant restaurant it is today. Starting at their St. James’s Street location, they expanded to include Lucky Beach and Redroaster at Brighton Dome.
The original Redroaster, launched by the Michelin Star maestro Matt Gillan, is an Instagram lover’s paradise! Designed by the renowned Melbourne-based interior design studio, The Stella Collective, this café boasts a mesmerising blend of minimalistic elegance, featuring marble surfaces, geometric décor, and golden metal accents. With lush tropical plantings forming a canopy overhead, it’s like stepping into a summer oasis with a subtle touch of jungle vibes. As night falls, the café transforms into Lucky Khao, a Northern Thai barbecue restaurant worth checking out.
Prepare for Redroaster’s delectable menu, where classic British brunch items receive the Michelin star treatment. With an open kitchen using only the finest ingredients, their food is a true delight. While the portions are on the smaller side compared to other popular brunch spots, the quality and flavours are worth every penny. They also have the option to upgrade your brunch to their 90-minute bottomless extravaganza, offering endless cocktails and other drink options.
They were one of the UK’s first specialist coffee shops, continuing to roast their beans in Brighton as an acclaimed organic-certified roastery. But that’s not all—they’re also rated among the top 20 sustainable businesses in the country, ethically sourcing their supplies. This company truly cares about sustainability and the community, even running a profit-sharing scheme that supports social projects in Rwanda and the UK.
As if that wasn’t exciting enough, Redroaster has recently opened a new location at the refurbished Brighton Dome. This vibrant venue, off New Road and adjacent to the Pavilion Gardens, seats over 100 people and is the ultimate spot for alfresco dining. Open from 9 am until 11 pm daily (or 8:30 pm on Sundays), it’s perfectly situated for you to enjoy some food before or after attending a captivating exhibition hosted at the newly refurbished area of the Brighton Dome—currently running the Van Gogh Alive exhibition until September 2023.
