WestBeach

You're literally on the beach here – this isn't some marketing exaggeration. The restaurant sits right on Pier Approach where the sand starts, giving you proper seaside views without the usual tourist trap compromises. The glass-fronted dining room makes the most of that prime real estate, and on decent days you can watch the pier crowd while tucking into plates that actually justify the location premium. The kitchen leans into modern British cooking with enough Mediterranean influences to keep things interesting. Yes, it's pricier than your average Westbourne gastropub, but the setting delivers what you're paying for. Service moves at seaside pace – not glacial, just unhurried in that way that works when you're watching the waves roll in.
