Pantry has been a classic for street corner dining in Brighton for over a decade. Partly due to the menu, partly due to the street vibe, but I'm sure for people watching as well, as they drive by in their Range Rovers.
* Margherita pizza - love a simple classic and the tomato sauce really sings out with the fresh basil leaves. Portions of milky, creamy buffalo mozzarella are torn and place here and there. The base is quite uniform and has a good crispness and chew to it.
* Baby cauliflower - very tender with a soft char, it was very well seasoned. The accompanying dip (eggplant?) was absolutely delicious, paring up with the cauliflower really well.
Amazing food and selection to choose from, caters for both savoury lovers and those with sweet tooth.
Not only was pantry très instagrammable but it was delicious with amazing staff!
Always fantastic, always fresh-looking and constantly evolving. We love Pantry Brighton whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They recently reconfigured the main room and new back room / function room and it's looking great.. The food is ridiculously consistent and the service is, too. You can't go wrong here. Their expertise extends up and down the street to their deli next door, the Japanese takeaway (Hiro) and their epic Royale Burgers the other direction....which I indulged midweek. I know this sounds like an ad for them but they are all that good and have such a commitment to excellence that it has to be noticed.
Pimped up toasties are my Jam! @pantrybrighton
Ham, Cheese & Tomato 🧀🍅🍞 With a side of relish!
These guys are just EXTRA! But extra in a good way! Whenever I come here for a pit stop I always opt for the toasties cause they are just that damn good! Honestly try one for yourselves! You won’t regret it 👌🏽💯
Pantry was very busy! Which we liked it definitely had a great atmosphere and the food was tasty!
For me even though the food was really nice and hit the spot it just didn’t have the edge that other Melbourne cafes have. My mum and dad loves their food too! However, sometimes we don’t want fancy brunches and that’s when places like pantry are perfect.
The staff were ace and attentive.
I would certainly go again for a more homely style brunch!
Dishes ordered:
Mushrooms on toast with pumpkin, spinach and eggs
Bircher muesli- very pretty
The big pantry breakfast
Ordered Bircher muesli. Linguine. Like it ! The table paper and the crayon provided, make it a good place for small casual meetings. Gonna go back and try other plates.
Great dinner with the fam
We started with
Sashimi & zucchini fritter
Then
Pizza, salad
Perfect evening we loved it
Will be back for sure
Stunning place & food store next door has great produces
I'm coming back and will be doing so regularly. I don't care that it's pricey. And yes it's pricey, but for this produce and how good it tastes? Why wouldn't I?
The service was also surprisingly quick, and it was packed to the rafters. It's clear there are many regulars coming here. Perhaps I will return for dinner tonight?

While the Pantry is somewhat of a Brighton institution, it was my first time coming here and I absolutely loved it! I
ordered the brown rice & quinoa porridge which had a fantastic texture and wonderful flavour - the perfect winter breakfast. The service was also very warm and friendly. One lady was even handing around dog biscuits to all the dogs outside. The atmosphere had a really lovely, homely feel to it. I can see why people talk about it so fondly.
Love the spot and especially pastries they sell just next door. The pizza and pastas are getting too oily now. Have to try the scone, lovely.
We decided to try out Pantry for brunch on a Saturday.
Although mostly full, there were a few available tables outside and we were seated straight away with water brought in.
We ordered coffees and they arrived very quickly — nice and strong — really good.
We then placed our food order and, once again, everything arrived within probably 10-12 minutes, which was great, considering there were a lot of tables to serve.
The food was very nice — everything was fresh, the presentation was great, and everything tasted really good.
They also offer a good all-day brunch menu, if you don’t feel like a breakfast staple.
Overall, although on the pricey side, Pantry is really good, the service is good too, and we’d definitely go back to try something different.
A long time favourite of mine, great coffee, the best almond croissant and some very amazing dishes. Try the Kabir Scrambled eggs and Salmon set. Staff are very extremely professional, polite and attentive. This place is a must to visit.
Beautifully designed restaurant, the staff were very welcoming and catering. Food was also delicious but definately on the more expensive side (food does not equal cost ratio) they have great hot chips though

This cafe in glorious Brighton is a triumph.
The lamb ragu fettuccine was flavoursome with a generous serve of lamb, beautiful al dente pasta and a delicious tomato-based sauce.
The fitout is very modern, with plenty of seating both inside and out.
The service was very friendly and helpful.
What a great place to have had lunch for our short trip to Brighton.

I know I said I wouldn't return but I didn't choose the venue for my meeting today.
The place was very busy. I ordered the sushi bowl and that was very good. The coffee was spot on too. Even though the place was very busy with every table full, they managed to get meals out in good time and coffees to tables whilst still piping hot. That is pretty impressive.
I still think the food is a bit expensive but it's Brighton prices and there was a place full of people happy to pay those prices.
I have raised my rating by one star since last visit.
The female managing the front of the restaurant is pretty amazing at what she does.

Visited this place with my kids and 2 adults. The service was good and so too was the coffee. My ceasar salad was ok. The flavour was lacking the usual zing of this type of salad, bacon was quite fatty and I don't think the white anchovies worked. It is quite pricey for a salad when you can get a main salmon dish for a few bucks more. This salad should be no more than $15.
I ordered a kids meal for my daughter. It was $11 for 3x small pieces of margherita pizza (see photo) with a few pieces of cucumber and bit of hommus. I thought kids meals were $5. She didn't eat it so that went to waste unfortunately.
The other 2 adults enjoyed their meals which was fortunate.
Overall it was a nice place. I would've preferred if the male staff member who greeted us didn't demand to see my covid certificate while I was holding my toddler and trying to unlock my phone to scan in. I had to tell him "can you give me a second!" I was flustered and rushing to make it on time with a child and my hands full. Just be a little more understanding when people are trying to scan in whilst juggling everything.
I probably wouldn't rush back. I would stop for a coffee. The female staff members were very nice and very accommodating. Thanks to the ladies who served us, it made the experience enjoyable.
Such a busy morning for the restaurant but the staff are so lovely and so chilled. I came here to study and even though it’s full of people, front of house just kept on making sure I was all good. Such a lovely place to be. A must come-back! Iced latte was great and tuna goddess was so good
Great place with excellent food and service. The meals come out fresh and fast, only downside for me was it is on the expensive side.
