Cecconi’s Brighton Beach House

I’ve always been a big fan of @sohohouse it’s such a beautiful setting to enjoy a cocktail, catch up with friends and soak up the atmosphere. While the house itself remains members only, the lovely news is that @cecconisrestaurants is open to everyone, so anyone can book in and enjoy this gorgeous seafront spot

For my birthday, we went for a slightly boujee family lunch and it was honestly such a treat. The menu has something for everyone, with a brilliant mix of pizzas, pasta, small plates and main courses. I started with my usual favourite, the Burrata, datterini tomatoes & basil, which never disappoints. My mum went for the Tuna tartare with rocket, avocado and chilli dressing, which looked beautiful and she absolutely loved

For my main, I had the Porchetta with salsa verde, paired with the new potatoes with gremolata and tomato salad. It was absolutely delicious and such a lovely dish, full of flavour and something I’d happily order again. My husband went for the Spicy salami & mushroom pizza (one I’ve had a few times before and always enjoyed), while the Aubergine Parmigiana and Mushroom Risotto were also big hits around the table

We couldn’t resist adding a few extras too, the whipped ricotta with hot honey and crostini, plus the truffle arancini, made it the perfect birthday feast

…And of course, no Cecconi’s visit is complete without a couple of my favourite Picante cocktails 🍸 paired with a delicious bottle of Picpoul de Pinet, the perfect combination for a celebratory lunch. It was also lovely to see they have a great kids menu. My daughter very happily tucked into the plaice goujons, making it a win for the whole family

The restaurant itself is stunning, the team were so friendly and the Brighton seafront views are always a winner. A really lovely place for a special occasion, a catch up with friends or if you just fancy seeing what all the fuss is about with those Picante cocktails I’m always talking about! Definitely one to add to your Brighton list ✨
