Latina Cafe Deli

One of the very best places in Brighton for a quick, delicious, nutritious snack or lunch. It is not a corporate identikit cafe, however. If you want hot-desking or McFood, go somewhere else. This place is for people who want home-made food on wooden benches at reasonable prices. And, of course, for those who appreciate custard tarts, rice muffins, almond cheesecake tarts and other tasty bites with their coffees.

Myself and my partner visited Mediterraneo Delicatessen for an evening meal having read reviews on trip advisor and were not disappointed. The café is really small but really cosy and having opened just for us we were given a very warm welcome by the owner Giorgio. The food was very tasty and certainly very different to the menus in most Italian restaurants in the UK. The best thing about the restaurant is the hospitality you receive from the owner, it felt like we were having dinner at a friends house. We wanted to go back the next day for a coffee and only didn’t because of the weather.

I had a cheese and spinach pattie which was very disappointing it had a tiny amount of filling, in comparison to my friend's chicken one, there wasn't 5% the amount. This meant that it had very little flavour and felt very overpriced. I did not raise this with the staff. I also had a medium mixed salad and a chorizo bread, both of which were very tasty and appropriately priced. Equally, the long black coffee that I had was okay, too. Overall I was happy with my visit and would be happy to return. I would recommend this place for a lunch or snack. The staff were very pleasant. The place is very small with only three tables, so might be difficult to sit and eat.

This is a really fabulous little Portuguese cafe in 7 Dials! Wow, great owner selling traditional Portuguese food. (Yes I know I'm not Portuguese) but it's great to find a little independent cafe from a country other than Spain, Italy or one selling kebabs - not that there's anything wrong with those options at all, I love ALL food! So, great service, great food - including pastel del nata!!!! AND you can buy a variety of Portuguese store cupboard essentials too! Great little cafe.
