Best Greasy Spoon in Brighton??

[kip]

Are the recommendations from eleven years ago still valid?

No, Harry's has closed down Maybe someone's trying to promote their cafe in the open market

All night diner for me too. Although the diner is responisble for making you realise you're old. You get to that point and your friends say, "Lets go to a club", you reply, "No, let's go to the diner and get some food and a cup of tea"

Met what was then to be my future wife 24 years ago in the Gloucester, took her over to the all night cafe afterwards. Classy I am . Must have worked as we are still together!

Streets Cafe in the Open Market. Ultimate Breakfast £10, but money back if you finish it in 30 minutes. You get a T shirt saying you did it too!

That sounds like fun. What is involved? Pics?

Have you got anything without spam in it?

To follow on from the best chippy in Brighton, where is the best greasy spoon in Brighton?

Personally my life hasn't been the same since the clock tower cafe (at the start of Dyke Road) changed hands. Used to get great big portions for no money at all and the entertainement from the grumpy old owners was class.

But where else is there??

HLB

Trust me, Lindas Cafe on the Kingsway, turn left at bottom of Boundary Road, fifty yards along on the left.

Top bouncing of an 11 year old thread!

You wouldn't happen to be the owner by any chance?

Keep meaning to try a breakfast at the cafe by the London Road entrance to the Open Market, decent-looking fry-ups from about £3.50. Don't think it's called Streets though. Might be wrong.

Streets is inside the Open Market.

This is where I normally go, very good grub and a good price.

Big fan of Cafe Motu in Trafalgar Street

Is this any good now. My in laws owned and run this place for around 8 years up until selling last year - it was great under them, but heard it had gone massivly downhill since- crap sausages etc

All night caff for me.

Dumb Waiter in Sydney Street does a damn fine fry up. Arrogant, snotty, poncy women working in there though. I am convinced that they are vegetarians on PMT-trip wind up.

Big shout also for the one opposite Lidl in Arundel Road (can't remember the name).

Dumb Waiter closed down weeks ago.

Dumb Waiter closed down weeks ago.

In fairness he did post this in 2003!

Still does a very decent fry-up.

It did. About 11 years after my post.

A successful cafe owner I knew once told me that to have a good cafe breakfast you need good bacon, sausages and bread, the rest can be cheap supermarket own and you will make money.

Elm Grove Cafe?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Is Harry of Harry's cooking anywhere these days? Please tell me he is knocking out Pile Ups somewhere in a corner of Hove/Brighton.

Always my favourite whilst Peter was there (even if he is a Spud). Best sausages in Brighton (always the acid test of a good breakfast). Has he moved to Shoreham Beach now, I'm always catching glimpses of him these days?

Tiffany's down North Road anyone ?

Proper Greasy Spoon

We pop in before the game sometimes good portions and fairly reasonable, thumbs up from me
