Brighton’s 20 Best Family-Friendly Restaurants Revealed | BRAVO 2026 Winners
Eating out as a family should feel easy, and this category celebrates the places that get it right. Voted for by you, it shines a light on the venues where little ones feel welcome, grown-ups can relax and everyone leaves happy. Congratulations to this year’s BRAVO winner, Jo & Co.
First place - Best Family restaurant
Jo & Co boasts a dedicated kids’ menu featuring a ‘build your own pancake’ item that is an absolute hit. With one of the city’s Best Teams and winner of the much-coveted Best Brunch, this lovely, bright Hove café will keep the whole family happy. High chairs, changing facilities and colouring books make stress-free family dining feel easy.
Also winners of Best Brunch in Brighton & Hove and runners-up for Best Hospitality Team.
Second place
You could argue that there’s nothing families value more when eating out than being made to feel welcome. So it should come as no surprise that Brighton & Hove’s Best Team is pretty good at that. A buzzy Brighton breakfast and brunch destination with a tasty kids’ menu that makes little ones feel part of the fun, plus very good cocktails for the grown-ups if required. A family-run, family-friendly North Laine favourite.
Also placed 1st in Best Team, 2nd in the Best Brunch in Brighton and 4th in Plant Champions.
Third place
La Choza brings authentic Mexican street food to Brighton in a brilliantly colourful dining room that the kids will adore. The menu includes a fab kids’ section with smaller portions of burritos, tacos and quesadillas, plus traditional agua fresca (or juice) on the side. A city-centre spot that proves you really can have a fun night out with the family.
Also 2nd in Best Value restaurant in Brighton and 4th in International Cuisine.
