This is by far my favourite restaurant, being a coeliac is difficult when it comes to finding a decent place to eat, this place here just absolutely lives up to all expectations, the gluten free menu is perfect and has a large range of different meals, I've been multiple times and tried a few different things off the menu but my favourite is the GF Hot honey fried chicken burger 🍯🍗 🍔 The Halloumi fries are also a must! 😍 The staff here are incredible and the service couldn't be any better, the food service is quick and the staff always make sure everything is perfect with your meal and are happy to help if not! The only reason I marked it down by 1 star on Atmosphere is because I feel like it should be a whole lot busier for such a great restaurant 🤩 Places like this deserve our custom. Also in the females toilet I noticed a trolley for everybody's access with all different types of sanitary products and lady bits and bobs which I think is very thoughtful😊 Not a lot of places have the same little touches as Brightside! Will always recommend this place 👌🏼

The gluten-free cakes, steak pasty, and sausage rolls were delicious. Along with that, the staff were very friendly and accommodating especially after a misunderstanding with my order. There was a genuine personal interest shown! I highly recommend this place.

A beautiful and spacious new cafe in the city centre. The coffee is very good, the brownies are delicious, and there are gluten free options (ask if you don’t see them in the displays). The cafe is step free so suitable for wheelchairs, also dog friendly, and the staff are lovely. No complaints whatsoever!
