The Deck Brighton

It's a spacious, slightly retro spot with great seating options: sunny tables out the front, a lovely deck, and a big, airy interior. It's always buzzing with a mix of couples and locals, giving it a really friendly and laid, back atmosphere. The food is outstanding. They take classic Aussie brunch and elevate it with clever flavour twists. We ordered: Creamy Prawn Linguine: Incredibly rich and creamy with a strong prawn flavour. The addition of sausage made it so moreish and satisfying. Steak Sandwich: A classic done right! The steak was noticeably thicker and better quality than average, and the chicken salt on the fries was a winner. The portions are huge! I was also thrilled to see a fantastic selection of gluten free desserts (the raspberry cheesecake and Oreo bites are a must-try) that are actually delicious and not overly sweet. A huge bonus is that they are licensed and open in the evening, making it a perfect spot for a drink near the beach. They also have a function room that can fit 150 people which is an amazing option for events! Highly recommend for a reliable, high quality brunch or a casual drink.

Great place for a late Saturday lunch. Food was delicious, prices are reasonable, portions were decent sizes (we had the lamb shank and seafood red curry). The place is inviting and spacious with seating inside or out on the deck. Service was prompt and very friendly. Would love more options for beer on tap.

Had such a lovely brunch at The Deck Brighton. The food was really enjoyable. We tried the chilli scrambled eggs, The Hangover, a bacon and egg roll on brioche, and the creamy chilli prawn linguine, and everything was comforting, well balanced, and satisfying. Service was friendly and attentive without feeling rushed, which made the experience even better. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the kind of place that makes you want to sit, relax, and enjoy your time. Overall, a great spot for an easy, enjoyable brunch and definitely somewhere we’d come back to.

​We visited 'The Deck' for lunch and were immediately impressed by the lovely seating area and atmosphere. We ordered the lamb shanks and the steak sandwich; the lamb was incredibly tender and paired perfectly with the rice, while the steak sandwich was perfectly juicy. The matcha and iced coffee were both delicious and refreshing. A great experience overall!

Such a gorgeous brunch spot with great vibes and even better food 🤍 Tried the ham & cheese Tan Bing — crispy on the outside, soft inside, perfectly balanced and seriously comforting. The slow-cooked lamb was a standout: tender, flavourful, and beautifully paired — you can really taste the care in the cooking. Drinks were just as impressive. The Strawberry Cloud Matcha was light, creamy and aesthetic (almost too pretty to drink 🍓🍵), and the Healthy Glow Me Up juice was super fresh and refreshing — the perfect feel-good combo. Lovely atmosphere, great presentation, and food that actually delivers. Perfect for a relaxed brunch, catch-ups or a cute weekend treat. Highly recommend — will definitely be back! 💫🥐🥗

Such a chill spot for weekend brunch close to the beach. Loved sitting out on the deck — dog friendly and super relaxing. The Creamy Chilli Prawn Linguine was the highlight — rich, a bit spicy, and full of flavour with prawns and chorizo. The Pork Benny with slow-cooked pulled pork and poached eggs was equally amazing. Great coffee, friendly service, and perfect for a sunny morning catch-up.

I thought the salmon salad would just be another typical Aussie café dish 😂 but it turned out so good! Loved the mix of pearl couscous, chickpeas, zucchini and capsicum — super fresh and light, and the salmon was perfectly pan-seared, tender and full of flavour. I also tried the Big Brekkie after spotting it at the next table — classic combo but done really well. Everything tasted fresh, the veggies had a nice crunch, and that moment when the poached egg yolk ran over the sourdough… heaven 😋 The energy smoothie with chia seeds and banana was another win — refreshing, not too sweet, and the perfect little detox booster.
