1. First up, coffee and food
Brunch classics are given a fancy twist at The Fig, on Rye high street. Choose from dishes like avo smash with coriander chutney and pickled pink onions, or french toast waffles, topped with banana, pecans and syrup, with one of the town’s best flat whites (and cocktails post 10am) on the side. Brown leather benches, bistro-style chairs and metro tiles give it a Brooklyn coffee house vibe. Nearby, Licence 2 Kale is the go to for Dirty Chais, smoothie bowls heavy with chia seeds, spirulina and fruit, plus just-squeezed juices.
