City Guide to Brighton by Team Orelia

Welcome to Brighton

Brighton, U.K. has a special place in Orelia's heart. We started here in 2008, and have stayed ever since. With a spectacular sea side, iconic shopping in the Lanes, and a variety of unique restaurants, this city is the perfect destination. So, pack your jewellery and book your train ticket because we asked Team Orelia where their favourite spots in the city are.

Brighton Palace Pier

"Got to be the Palace Pier hasn't it? Can't say you've visited Brighton until you've been mugged by a seagull!" - Kat, Distribution Center Assistant

"My daughter loves visiting the arcade on Brighton Pier, so we always make sure we go there to see if we can beat the claw and win a toy!" - Fi, Senior Jewellery Designer

Favourite Sea Side Food

"We like to go and grab food from Shelter Hall, it has a superb mix of street food options, with something for everyone and great outdoor seating if the sun is shining. They also have a photobooth there, which we always do so we capture our fun day out 😊" - Fi, Senior Jewellery Designer

"Shelter Hall - all the food and drink! With an amazing view of the beach." - Anna, Head of Digital

But First.. Coffee

"The Open Bakery in Kemptown do the BEST chocolate & almond croissants as well as delicious sandwiches, fresh bread, cakes and coffees. They also have baking classes so you can learn how to make your own yummy treats 😍 (I'm actually doing one this weekend!)" - Emma L., Freelance Senior Email Designer

"The Trading Post (North Laines Location) is great on a sunny day as it has a roof terrace where you can sit and soak up the sun and enjoy and lovely iced coffee (they have a wide variety of milk alternatives). Plus, the brunch is killer! So fresh and great quality." Tash, Junior Merchandiser

The North Laines

"The Brighton Flea Market - SO many weird, wonderful and interesting things in here! Everything from furniture to art – great if you like vintage finds or to shop pre-loved items. A great way to spend a slow Sunday! Plus, the North Laines are a must visit in Brighton. Great independent shops, cafes, restaurants and bars, but with a vibrant city vibe. You can literally get lost in the laines for hours... (but in a good way)" - Emma L., Freelance Senior Email Designer

"My favourite is Komedia in the North Laines- iconic location for all things comedy and music, and a cinema attached" - Anna, Head of Digital

A Quick Bite To Eat

"My favourite lunch spot in Brighton is Earl’s. Luckily for me they’ve also just opened another shop at the bottom of my road in Hove, perfect for lunch breaks! They serve delicious Vietnamese Banh mi sandwiches, my favourite is the Pork Char Siu accompanied by an iced Vietnamese coffee." - Amy, Brand Design Manager

Last But Not Least .. Cocktails!

"One of my faves in Brighton is called Ten Green Bottles. It's a cute little wine bar, but right in center of town. I love to go there with a close friend, my mom, or on a date night. And as a bonus, the charcuterie boards and appetizers are so delicious. Very tempting for a Thursday night glass of wine and a gossip!" - Katie, Digital & Customer Service Assistant

"I love Golden Pineapple for drinks - tucked away in the South Lanes, away from the busy crowds, you can get a really well mixed cocktail here, and lovely food." - Anna, Head of Digital
