Tiny reviews of Brighton food and drink
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

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

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

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

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
Weird food. I had a bowl of bready pretzels with like cheese and guacamole with salsa and sour cream, we also had the weirdest jalapeno poppers ever – huge bready things. They have a BBQ situation and the pulled pork was pretty tasty, but generally, terrible kitchen.
Verdict: Don’t go
Location: 33 Montgomery Street
Surprisingly small little pub offering Indian street food. It’s very tasty, although don’t make the mistake of trying to eat just small plates. You really want to have one of their mains and maybe a couple of small plates. But delicious, and lovely people.
Verdict: Awesome

Been meaning to go here for ages and it is really, really good. Great home made chips and guac (really good guac), then a great selection of small plates – we had chicken croquettes with orange and habenero jam, cactus and smoked cheese hash browns, and crispy pork belly. Then two crispy oyster mushroom tacos. All in the £9-£10 range, but very generous servings. Plus, the tequila and margaritas are amazing!
Verdict: Awesome
