CoCo’s Restaurant, formerly known as D’Arcys, is a seafood restaurant at 49 Market Street in Brighton’s Lanes. The intimate venue occupies a former fisherman’s cottage and continues a dining history at the premises that stretches back more than five decades.

Fish and seafood are the main focus, with the selection changing to reflect the catch available from suppliers. Regular favourites such as fish pie sit alongside daily dishes, allowing the kitchen to work with different species and preparations rather than relying on one fixed formula.

Fresh vegetables and other locally sourced ingredients are used to complement the seafood, while non-fish choices make the restaurant practical for mixed groups. Lunch can be kept to a single course, or guests can settle in for starters, a main dish and dessert.

The traditional interior creates a comfortable setting for a relaxed meal, and tables outside add an alfresco option in suitable weather. Guests with allergies or dietary requirements should discuss the day’s ingredients and preparation methods with the team before ordering.

Address: 49 Market Street, Brighton BN1 1HH, England
