Tiny reviews of Brighton food and drink
As the name suggests, art deco inspired cafe in Kemp Town. Nice people, pleasant interior, and I quite enjoyed my pancakes with bacon, egg and chorizo crumb. Falls under the category of “perfectly fine but won’t seek it out again”.
Verdict: Ok
Location: 38 Upper St James’ St
Tiny little cafe with some nice outdoor seating, have been meaning to go into it for ages. All vegetarian menu with plant based options – I had a massive breakfast sandwich with hash browns, my companion had a Korean oyster mushroom pitta. All awesome, just make sure you’re hungry as they’re huge!
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 109c Dyke Road
Had a Deliveroo of this and it was really great. Lemon rice, lamb curry, paneer, Masala chips (yum!) and nice pakora. Thumbs up!
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 70 East Street
Found these guys looking for garlic pizza on Deliveroo. I actually want to try their normal pizzas, because they’re obviously very good at it – really great light dough, pecorino cheese in my case, totally smashed it. Points down only because I could hardly taste the garlic in my garlic pizza despite ordering extra!
Verdict: Ok
Location: 1 Norton Road
East African/Gujarati small plates, very nice food and nice service. So why just “ok”? I enjoyed it, but it’s a pretty cramped and plain space, and for what they’re charging I wouldn’t hurry to go back, is all; it’s a crowded space down here!
Verdict: Ok
Location: 9 Preston Street
As the name suggests, focused on wine, but went there with some friends and started with a cocktail, moved onto wine. A spacious read “outside” area is not really outside, but it is very pleasant, and the few tapas plates we tried were very nice – although fairly spendy. Overall, very nice.
Verdict: Awesome

Look, being a Chinese takeaway is rough, there’s loads of good ones. This isn’t one of them, despite sponsoring on Deliveroo.
Verdict: Don’t go
Location: 49 Preston Street
Lovely. Steak and burgers, not a huge menu but beautiful food, in particular my burger was really really tasty for a lot less than other premium burgers. Good price, relaxed vibe.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 111 Church Street
A highly rated Peruvian place, lower ground floor on Marine Parade. And well worth going to. First, brilliant and fun service, there is one particularly zesty Peruvian waiter but they’re all lovely. Great sharing plates and ceviche, and pisco sours delicious. Nice place physically too, covered in photos.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 16 Marine Parade
A Chinese renowned for authentic Chinese food. Had some delivery and it was pretty good, certainly very good factoring in the price.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 24-25 Preston Street
