Olie & Ari

Best Known For

Smashed avocado, feta, lemon and mint on sourdough toast.

Coffee and café fare to entice all taste buds is what Brighton diners find at Olie & Ari on Were Street. An industrial-style fit-out with exposed brick walls, caged pendent lighting and a cosy courtyard combine to have locals coming back time and again for creative brunch and lunch dishes. Stop in early for a brew of choice paired with breaky plates like corn, zucchini and sweet potato fritters, smashed avocado and poached egg, or devour housemade baked beans with feta and sourdough toast; while the lunch crowd chows down on burgers and toasted pide such as chicken schnitzel and coleslaw, or smoked ocean trout, dill mayo, capers and rocket. Perhaps a roasted chicken salad tempts with roast pumpkin, feta, avocado, rocket and citrus dressing; washed down with a cold glass of Sauvignon Blanc.
