About The Deck Brighton

The Deck Brighton pairs laid-back coastal brunching with sheltered outdoor dining and an on-site kids' play area. Grab an undercover table out back with your dog—complete with a puppicino—while the kids burn off morning energy in their own dedicated space. The kitchen delivers thick-cut steak sandwiches dusted with chicken salt, chilli scrambled eggs, and iced strawberry matcha lattes. By evening, the room shifts effortlessly into casual dinners over crispy barramundi and happy hour cocktails near the bay.

  • Dedicated Kids' Play Area: A dedicated children's play and event space lets young ones burn energy while parents dine in peace.
  • Dog-Friendly Covered Deck: Spacious undercover outdoor deck welcoming four-legged companions with large tables and puppicinos.
  • Day-to-Night Beachside Dining: Transitions from daytime brunch into evening dinner, happy hour drinks, and weekend live music near the beach.

Customer favorites and hearty signature mains

  • Creamy Prawn Linguine

    Creamy Prawn Linguine: Incredibly rich and creamy with a strong prawn flavour. The addition of sausage made it so moreish and satisfying.

  • Steak Sandwich

    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.

  • Buddha Bowl

    One of the best Buddha Bowls I've had! Super fresh and healthy and surprisingly filling.

  • Port Wine Braised Lamb Shank

    We ordered the port wine braised lamb shank and it was genuinely fall-off-the-bone, very tender and comforting, paired well with the mujudura rice and asparagus.
