Redroaster St Jamess Street - (Near East Sussex, South East)

oliwia ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Open Bakery is, without exaggeration, the best bakery I have ever been to in the UK and I genuinely don’t think anything will ever come close. I lived in Brighton for a year and I was literally living right in front of it, in a flat across the street. It became part of my week and I still think about it all the time. The pastries are so unreal that I don’t even have a single photo… because the second I walked in, I couldn’t even consider taking my phone out. Everything was eaten immediately. That’s how good it was. The atmosphere inside is perfect, warm, cosy, inviting, and just the kind of place that instantly makes you happy. And the staff are genuinely some of the friendliest people ever. It’s not just a bakery, it feels like a little Brighton treasure. They have incredible bread and so many other bakes, but I have to mention my favourite pastry of all time: the chocolate and almond croissant. I am not joking when I say I still dream about it. Flaky, rich, indulgent, perfect in every possible way. I would travel back to Brighton purely to eat it again. I live in the North now, and I swear there is simply nothing up here that compares. And honestly… if Open Bakery would ever ship so far, I will be the first person placing an order 100%! Brighton people don’t realise how lucky they are.

StaraBrighton Brighton We visited for the tasting menu and were absolutely blown away by every single dish. This is fine dining at its very best — beautifully presented plates, incredible flavours, and a real sense of care in every course. It’s definitely a treat and on the pricier side, but it was worth every penny, and the 50% off through FirstTable made it even better. The whole experience was amazing from start to finish. We can’t wait to return

Natalie Khoo Such a lovely brunch spot in Brighton! The interiors are super cute and give the place a really cosy, welcoming vibe. The food was great and beautifully presented. The staff were friendly and made the experience even better. Definitely a place I’d recommend if you’re in the area and looking for a nice, relaxed brunch.

Megan Smith Luis was the loveliest server!! He was so attentive and made sure we had everything we needed! The other staff were also amazing! The food was amazing and we had the perfect galentines! 100% would come back!

Jessica Vinson We came here for Valentine’s Day with the valentines set menu (3 courses and a coffee for £30) and had an amazing time. There were warm and attentive servers who checked in with us on multiple occasions. Every course was brilliant! There was a cozy, intimate atmosphere. I would highly recommend this family owned business!

Emily Wright Emily was lovely and very helpful. The food was delicious and the service was quick. They were also very good with dietry requirements. However, the salad bar could be topped up more regularly as there wasnt much option of some of the foods.
