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

Kusikuy
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
Good Friends
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
The Poets Ale & Smokehouse
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
Easy Tiger
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
Location: 57 Upper N Street
Halisco
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
Location: 64 Preston Street
The Oculist
Been meaning to go here for ages, and had delicious random Asian fusion sharing plates – crispy gyoza, bao, siu mai, crispy chicken. Surprisingly huge with multiple floors and roof terraces.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 2 Boyce’s Street
Casa Don Carlos
Been meaning to come here for a long time! A charming little “traditional” style tapas place, unlike most which tend to try and be cool. Just really tasty tapas and nice people.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 5 Union Street
The Copper Clam
A cute little spot right on the water (as much as you get in Brighton), and a really interesting seafood menu. Steak pretty good too but the creative starters a real highlight.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: Kings Road Arches, 143-44
Bao Bun
A cute little place, with very nice dumplings, and tasty herby fries. But the bao buns were really pretty basic and just ok. Much better going to the Pond which is nearby.
Verdict: Ok
Location: 49 Gardner Street
