The Reading Room café opened on Madeira Drive, Brighton, in November 2024 as part of the Black Rock rejuvenation project.
The café’s site, the historic Brighton reading room, was built in 1835 and designed originally to provide shelter for residents of Lewes Crescent seeking a place to read in comfort with a view of the sea.
The restaurant serves a range of dishes offering breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner.
