The best restaurants in Brighton and Hove South East

I travel countries just to get my hands on these vegan cinnamon buns. The Hove location is on a lovely square and just a short walk away from different parks or the beach. Definitely pop in for a pastry and coffee or one of their smoothies on a hotter day.

Absolutely great place to have breakfast or brunch. The waiting team is competent, the kitchen is quick, and it all is tasty! Great coffe as well!

The food looks fantastic and tastes even better such beautifully balanced flavours and interesting combinations. Such a wonderful setting very cosy and atmospheric.

This pretty little restaurant is situated perfectly in the North Laines, lit up by night with sparkly coloured lights. The decor is traditional North African & boasts qwerky colourful pictures & ornaments giving it a real authentic vibe. We were welcomed by Maria, a super friendly server who makes the best cocktails. The food was so tasty, all freshly made & piping hot served in traditional crockery. Hands down, the best Tagine I've ever tasted. All reasonably priced & perfect portions. I will 100% be returning. A real Brighton gem 😊😋

Fuimos a la fiesta infantil de Halloween y honestamente fue una de las mejores noches que hemos tenido. Mi pequeña se lo pasó muy bien e incluso pude relajarme gracias al tipo de comunidad que había allí. No puedo hablar lo suficiente sobre este lugar. Hacen tanto por la comunidad que no se ve hecho lo suficientemente a menudo. El personal es increíble también!

Very relaxed, chilled atmosphere. Lovely staff, amazing food and great cocktails. Everything we had was super delicious and interesting.

Sinceramente, siento que la tierra y las estrellas es el mejor pub y comida de pub en Brighton - ¿por qué? Porque el personal es muy amable y acogedor y te hacen sentir como en casa. El ambiente y la música es genial, los asientos son muy cómodos y finalmente la comida está fuera de la escala ... nunca decepciona ... muchas gracias nos vemos para el almuerzo del 27 de diciembre - gran almuerzo de reunión familiar - mesa para 10 @ 1 Sé que va a bw maravilloso - nunca olvido una cara, pero siempre olvido nombres ! Gracias Lee (? ) Jess y todo el equipo - venimos al menos una vez al mes con nuestros amigos también Gracias! Nicky y Gus Mark xxx

I won a voucher for Baked in a raffle. We were very impressed with the food and the service. We will definitely come here again.

This place is the most amazing fabulous place in Brighton! I love cheese and my girlfriend surprised me here and it’s the absolute best place ever! Portions are so big and food is so nice and raclette is so raclette (writing this right after food) Staff are so nice! (Hi I promise I didn’t use chatGPT to write this one!)

Upon walking in, the waitress was incredibly kind and served us so nicely. When the food was ready, there wasn’t any napkins or knifes and forks as we were getting a takeout. We then asked the other waitress if we could please get napkins and knifes and forks. By this point she was talking with her friends and had been from The time we walked in. She then gave us a cold look and seemed really annoyed that we asked her something while she was talking with her friends. She then replied and said ‘ we just got chopsticks ‘ . The food portions are incredibly small and the taste was quite bland. For a restaurant it seemed a little weird that they only had chopsticks as we don’t know How to eat with chopsticks and I’m sure not everyone does either so we struggled to eat our food. Will not be going back.

Lovely intimate pub also well known for music as well as good beer and welcoming atmosphere.

*Edit* There is not a word of truth in the reply! Blatant lies! Waste of Money. £11 for a 55 minute slot is extortionate, you then have to spend £6 per head which isn't hard. But our main issue other than the poor cats being overwhelmed from non-stop attention, and trying to hide and escape the humans, and the music which would have been relaxong if it hadnt have been so loud, was the service. Friendly enough but Creams levels of slow and disjointed. We waited 10 minutes to be seated, a further 10 to have our order taken, another 20 for half our drinks and finally got the last 2 drinks and cold brownies 3 minutes before the end of our slot. With 5 tables in the whole place I cannot begin to comprehend what could possibly take so long. On top of that the claw machine was broken, we pointed this out to the waiter who promised to fix it and refund us, but that never happened. To be fair we were in too much of rush to finish up and free up our table for the next slot to remind him. Honestly, would not recommend to anyone. Total waste of money.

Delightful tapas. We had a nice variety of dishes, and staff was very attentive to gluten intolerance of one of our party. We especially enjoyed the tortillas espanol and baked mozzarella aubergine, as well as the garlic mushrooms and patatas brava.

I went to the cafe today for lunch with my masters class which was a group size of 6. We ordered at the same time and was told likely be a 15-20 minuet wait and we went to see down. We understand it can take time for these things. However, 30 minuets go by and only 2 people have gotten their full English breakfasts and hot drinks. 15 mins go by and one more meal comes out. I went down to ask how much longer on the other meals and was told “soon” and that they didn’t actually have all the chips that ordered and had 2 refund 2 of 3 of the chips. This is after 45 minuets I remind you. Eventually one of us got a salad and cold oven cooked chips, leaving me and one other with no food. The final full English was told to us to be another 20 minuet wait so we had to refund it and get a sausage roll in replaced and was asked to pay the remainder which is fine but not something I would make someone do at the cafe I work at, especially waiting 45 mins and told it would be another 20mins. To top it all off, when I went down to ask if my salad could be put in a takeaway box as I have to go back to lecture, I was then told they lost the ticket and I would have to wait for another one. This is when I heard another customer say they felt bad as they ordered the same order after and got theirs first… I had to get a refund and this was after a whole hour of waiting. 45 mins to tell us they didn’t have what they ordered. 40 mins to tell us they had to start a new order for full English 1 hour to tell me they lost the ticket. I was given the reason to all of this was only one chef in the kitchen, on a Saturday any Laines worker will tell you that it is the busiest day of the week. I was given excuses not apologies. I understand bad things happen but this was appalling. Don’t go on weekends if you want service. That was my mistake.

Popped in for a pint. Great atmosphere. Good pub games. Recommended
