Brunching in Brighton: A Review of Jo & Co
As a self-proclaimed brunch enthusiast, I couldn't resist trying out Jo & Co, the recent winner of Brighton's BRAVO Best Brunch award. Located in Hove, this unassuming gem offers a delightful dining experience that goes beyond the typical breakfast fare.
I must admit, I'm not an early riser, but the allure of a late-morning brunch is hard to resist. Brighton's brunch scene is thriving, and Jo & Co has set the bar high. The restaurant's location, previously an Indian restaurant, is deceptively spacious, with a sunny terrace and a dual-height interior that exudes charm.
One aspect that immediately caught my attention was their gluten-free menu. As someone who follows a gluten-free diet, I was thrilled to find a dedicated menu with endless choices. It's a rare treat to have such variety, and it speaks volumes about Jo & Co's commitment to inclusivity.
The menu itself is a delightful mix of breakfast classics and innovative dishes. From hearty breakfast plates to sweet brunch options like waffles and pancakes, there's something for every taste. The 'Jo's Full' signature dish, a gluten-free twist on the traditional full English, was a standout. The perfectly poached eggs, crispy hash browns, and the meaty Brighton Sausage Co. banger elevated the dish to a new level.
What sets Jo & Co apart is their attention to detail and quality. The ingredients are fresh and carefully sourced, and the love and passion for food shine through in every dish. The service is warm and friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.
I was particularly impressed by the restaurant's ability to cater to various dietary preferences. The gluten-free menu is a game-changer, and the fact that they accommodate well-behaved dogs is a bonus for pet owners. It's these little touches that make Jo & Co stand out in a competitive market.
In my opinion, Jo & Co has mastered the art of brunch. The combination of delicious food, a cozy ambiance, and excellent service makes it a top choice for brunch lovers in Brighton. It's a place where you can enjoy a leisurely meal, catch up with friends, and indulge in a culinary experience that leaves you satisfied and content.
So, if you're in Hove and looking for a brunch spot that goes beyond the ordinary, Jo & Co is a must-visit. It's a hidden gem that deserves all the accolades it's receiving, and I can't wait to return for another memorable brunch experience.
