The Boudica is a cafe and bistro at 109A Western Road in Brighton and Hove. Founded in Brighton in 2022, it combines an independent cafe atmosphere with a menu that moves easily from an early breakfast and coffee to brunch, lunch and drinks.
Breakfast includes a full English, vegetarian and vegan plates, alongside a Mediterranean spread with halloumi, olives and savoury pastries. Egg focused dishes such as shakshuka, eggs Benedict and menemen add variety, while pancakes and French toast cover sweeter brunch tastes.
Later choices include burgers, mezze and colourful salads. Grilled halloumi with pomegranate, falafel with hummus and a Mediterranean vegetable salad sit beside chicken Caesar salad and smoked salmon with avocado, giving both meat eaters and plant based diners useful options.
Coffee is central to the cafe, supported by cakes, wine, beer and non-alcoholic drinks for different times of day. Table service and a menu that crosses breakfast, Mediterranean flavours and classic cafe dishes make The Boudica a flexible stop on busy Western Road.
