Description: Blenio Bistro is the first Brighton-based venture from award-winning restaurateurs Peter Bruschi and Paula Black, and this all-day bistro brings a breath of fresh air to the city���s iconic Seven Dials neighbourhood. The all-white, light-filled restaurant is decorated with bright splashes of colour and artworks by local artists, and Blenio���s menu is filled with rustic European dishes with a French twist. Perfect for business breakfasts, lazy lunches, coffee-and-cake breaks and stylish evening meals, this hip eatery attracts a trendy local crowd and we love everything from the traditional Sunday roasts and signature moules mariniere to the selection of croissants, muffins and pastries for brunch.

We went as a party of 13 to celebrate a birthday. The food was great, the service superb and the surroundings everything you could wish for. We will definitely be returning. More

The food is fab, rather slow service however they do pre-advise of this and the service itself is very pleasant. Not a huge choice on the menu but what they do offer is cooked to perfection. Great place for an informal, relaxed meal. More

I took my family including 3 year old niece, its the second time I've been and it was just as good as the first. The hosts are great, really friendly n looked after our young guest well. Food is well cooked, tasty & good value. Would recommend to anyone who is looking for a warm welcome, great food & surroundings. More

We visited here while on a business trip to Brighton, and had a really great meal. Service was excellent, with the waitress enquiring about their starters which had newly been added to the menu - which were delicious! It's a little out of the way from everything else in Brighton - it's up a fairly steep hill about 20 minutes... More

We visited this restaurant on a Sunday evening and perhaps this was the mistake. The menu didn't have much choice and the prawn cocktails were made with the cheapest supermarket prawns and iceberg lettuce (not even a prawn in its shell for decoration) and at over £6 were overpriced. The belly pork had not been cooked enough to get rid... More
