Tiny reviews of Brighton food and drink
Lovely little cafe for breakfast and lunch; nice and spacious inside with stools facing out to watch the world go by. Had a tasty bacon and egg sandwich (huge) and avocado smash for breakfast. All great and excellent value.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 34 North Road
Big, spacious pub with lots of nice seating areas and lots on tap, serving La Choza Mexican. Theoretically great, but the food took ages (that may just be bad timing of course) and the pints are pretty pricey, so dodges an Awesome verdict. Just.
Verdict: Ok
Location: 75 London Road
Pretty nice pub of the old school – cozy and busy. Just fine, but stools mean you’re rather packed in – better pubs nearby for space. Food menu looks good though!
Verdict: Ok
Location: 12 Gloucester Road
Quaint little cafe with lovely looking cakes; downside is I hope you like cake (or a bag of crisps) because as far as I can tell that’s all the food they do.
Verdict: Average
Location: 16 Kensington Gardens
Looks low-key, but this place has an amazing array of delicious seafood at ridiculously cheap prices. Super hectic though, book ahead if you want to come in!
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 131 King’s Road
Really rock solid pub; had an excellent steak here plus buffet style food at a function. All great – building nothing fancy, just an ace pub.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 28 Upper Hamilton Road
Stylish Japanese with big sushi conveyor; first tip is make sure to sit at it, as it’s a pain to have to leap up all the time. Food is all good stuff – nice sushi, really nice pork belly side – but you pay over the odds for the nice restaurant!
Verdict: Ok
Location: Bartholomew Road
“Mexican street food” is the pitch, and although the “street food” part basically means the food is in plastic baskets, it is highly delicious. Choose a base like quesadila or tacos, your filling, and add various degrees of salsa. Generous portions too, including a calamari starter that is insanely good. Various tequila cocktails also excellent. Only drawback is literally no two seat tables – you’ll be cosy!
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 36 Gloucester Road
Cafe attached to Yellowave Beach Sports which we popped into. Great example of an unassuming but quality cafe; had a great bacon sandwich, BLT, and wrap. Super chilled.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 299 Madeira Drive

Verdict: Ok
