Tiny reviews of Brighton food and drink
Chain this one, but the Brighton location is lovely and big with brilliant booths etc. Huge breakfast menu does not disappoint. I had Ham So Eggsited, which wins on name alone, but is a pancake stack with ham and egg and maple syrup. Yum.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 16 Market Street
Specialist donut shop with a huge range of different flavours which is a bonus. Both donuts and croughnuts – had a chocolate praline croughnut and it was awesome.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 10 Brighton Square
Initially: Standard chippy, but just ok; chips a little dry. Superior options available.
Revised: I don’t know if they changed ownership or what, but the guy is a total legend and I think the crispy crunchy fish is probably the second best I’ve ever had.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 4 Terminus Road

A chain, sure, but a nice big site without the mad London queues. Set menu excellent!
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 160 North Street
Perfectly serviceable but unremarkable Taylor Walker/Greene King pub; not pots of atmosphere (despite the atmospheric-looking exterior), just a standard well-lit chain pub.
Verdict: Ok
Location: 9 Brighton Place

A simple interior but with comfy booths if you’re lucky, and lovely service. A steak was had and was delicious, but the famous ribs, well, deserve to be famous. Really excellent BBQ sauce and tasty chips. Also, Monday is all you can eat ribs and wings, and the wings were pretty great too. All of which comes for not much money at all. Brilliant.
Verdict: Awesome

Latin-Japanese fusion pop-up, evenings at Oseta Cafe. Actually insanely good, sushi with Latin influences like plantains on top or mango drizzle. Quite apart from that, just made with incredible care and lovely presentation. Tops.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 32 North Road
Small and cosy little pub with stained glass windows, lots of tables, and home-made vodka shots. Resident cat too although I didn’t see it!
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 75 North Road
All you can eat Brazilian steakhouse where they come to your table with skewers and slice off all sorts. Not all 100% amazing, but loads of them were. Only downside was buffet food to go with it was cold (eg fries) but I just ate more than 10 kinds of meat and was delighted.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 65-75 West Street
Had high hopes for this noted steak and fish resto. Mostly all good. Delicious steak and chips, delicious gnocchi, and delicious petit fours. Holding it back would be the fact that seating is crammed in a bit more than I would like, but on balance excellent.
Verdict: Awesome
