Quick info
About Bonito Lounge
On the corner of the High Street and London Road, Bonito Lounge is a British restaurant set across two floors with floor to ceiling windows that open on both sides. The original midnight blue tiled pillars remain from the building's time as a department store, standing alongside the wallpaper and star lights inside. Seating is seat-yourself, with a sign asking guests to wait to be seated at the entrance, and orders are placed by scanning a QR code at the table. The menu runs from smashed avocado on bruschetta to coffee and cake, including a cappuccino and a fruit flapjack. Dogs are welcome on site. Bonito Lounge is part of the wider Lounges group, with similar branches elsewhere.

Customer Review Summary
Breakfast draws the most praise, with reviewers singling out crispy bacon, and one regular describes the food as always hot and well presented. Smashed avocado on bruschetta, a cappuccino and a fruit flapjack also earn compliments, and a few mention a good choice of drinks and healthy options. Staff are called friendly, helpful and willing to go out of their way, and the decor and wallpaper are noted more than once. The caveats are mixed. One reviewer found the staff seemed unhappy compared with other branches, and another felt the portions were small for what they spent. A third says stag and hen parties fill the room at weekends. Several mention the seat-yourself system, with ordering by QR code or at the till, which leaves some visitors confused, and one found the table extremely sticky. One diner, standing at the wait-to-be-seated sign, was told by a local to just take a seat.

“Enjoyed a good value for money meal here yesterday. Great menu, service and friendly staff. My one negative point was the waiter had very long hair, kept running his hands through it, touching his face then serving the food. He was a lovely person but please remember about bacteria's spread from face/hair to glasses, cutlery and customers. I would return again if visiting Bognor. Many thanks”

“This is probably our 6 or 7th one.. Popped in for breakfast 😋 Food and drink was as good as always. Service was quick as we used the QR code to order online. Was stood by the please wait to be seated sign before a local said they struggle with this just take a seat 😆 Table was extremely sticky.”

“Seriously, what a great place. We use this as a meeting point for two families living other ends of the coast. The food is great and always consistently hot, good and presented well. But the nicest thing is the staff, who will go out of their way for you and super helpful and pleasant. Wish we had one in Battle where I’m from! Ps I also want the wallpaper in my house!”

“portions made for mice, food is decent but not up to par price wise, make bigger portions otherwise food is good. image for reference, £110 spent here.”

“We visited for brunch and had a really disappointing (and honestly shocking) experience. After putting salt and vinegar on our chips, we realised the vinegar bottle had dead flies in it. It was completely unhygienic and not something you’d ever expect to encounter when eating out. Never did I think I’d need to check inside condiment bottles before using them. We raised this with staff at the time, but were told they couldn’t offer a refund for the food. Instead, I was offered an orange juice, which didn’t feel like an appropriate response given the seriousness of the issue. I also contacted head office afterwards to give them the opportunity to address it privately, but received no response. I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt before posting publicly, but this is a clear hygiene concern and people should be aware.”

Highlights
“The aptly named Bonito Lounge sits on the corner of the High Street and London Road, just back from the beach in beautiful Bognor Regis. We make the most of our corner position, with big floor to ceiling windows that open right up on both sides giving both our space inside (across two floors) a really light and airy feel. As well as our spectacular wallpaper, paintings and a galaxy of star lights, we’ve kept the original midnight blue tiled pillars from when this was a much-loved department store. And why are we aptly named? Because Bonito in Spanish means “nice, pretty”. And we’re pretty nice.”
