A SERIES of long blackboards covered in chalk scrawls sit outside a new cafe.

On one, white writing boasts refined dining experiences such as moules mariniere and seabass fillet in an asparagus and champagne sauce.

The impressively extensive list reels off the specials on offer.

Another offers British staples such as a full English breakfast, and the now obligatory cafe dish of avocado and poached eggs on toast - part of the breakfast menu.

The boards belong to Mon Cafe Bistro, one of the newest additions to St James’s Street in Brighton.

It has only recently opened but there is already a buzz around the venue.

Right, last year’s Pride in St James’s Street. Businesses in the road are looking forward to a busy summer.
