Tiny reviews of Brighton food and drink
Relaxed restaurant right on the seafront, serving very nice food; I particularly enjoyed the game and hazelnut croquettes, and the desserts were very rich. You’ll have a perfectly nice time but it just didn’t jump at me as remarkable, although I can’t quite put my finger on why.
Verdict: Ok
Location: 91-96 King’s Road Arches
Small cocktail bar that plays cafe by day; I went by day and thought it was the other way around. I’m sure it’s cosy for cocktails, but I know it’s great for a coffee and a cake. Nice, spacious and warmly furnished. A real oasis.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 135 Western Road
I’ll admit to not having high expectations due to it being a Fullers pub, but I was wrong. Lots of comfy seating areas, a menu with lots of attention to detail, and a great range of drinks; a small pub with a friendly, cosy vibe.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 64 Hamilton Road
Massive chain of course, one I personally enjoy as it is cheap and cheerful. However, this one is smaller than the average which removes one of the main reasons I like the chain, so points off there. Good location though.
Verdict: Ok
Location: 4-5 George Street
The website bills it as a hidden gem, and it totally is. Lovely high ceilinged interior with lots of tables, plenty on tap, a dedicated gin list and a good looking menu. Great relaxed pub.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 6 Clifton Hill
Great Thai takeaway, varied menu and quick delivery!
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 72 Dyke Road
Classic pokey cafe with coffee and some food; when I went, sandwiches all sold out but croque monsieurs were fine. Nice sweet stuff. Fine, but tiny!
Verdict: Ok
Location: 206a Dyke Road
American restaurant (apparently a chain) with a big menu of all the American classics. Can’t speak highly enough of the service, and a nice big space with comfy booths. Great burgers!
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 11 Mermaid Walk
Comfy bar with plenty of space, draught beer and cocktails. They do food but didn’t eat this time. Nice place but nothing dramatic to recommend it.
Verdict: Ok
Location: 10 Victoria Grove
Little cafe on Palmeira Square. Not fancy, but nice and cosy, with simple seating but plenty of it, and simple fare at a good price. Nice for a crumpet or a sandwich.
Verdict: Ok
Location: 75-76 Western Road
