Mange Tout in Brighton and Hove

Delicious recipes, but really not recommended for vegetarians/vegans/gluten free. The place is tastefully decorated but incredibly noisy.

I like the atmosphere, and the waiter/waitress are very nice. When I ve got nostagie of French food .I always go over there.

Fabulous breakfast, really delicious food and the mange tout team are lovely.

Delicious food, great ambience and decor

great food, terrible service. waited 50mins for food. the table that arrived 20mins after me got their food first. No apology was forthcoming, i had to squeeze it out of them and they then admitted my order ticket got lost. Another member of staff was walking off as I'd engaged him to ask about the food. seems they are up their own bottoms. Oh, and the sausages taste full of fillers, not the best quality

Good, friendly service. The mini meringue accompanying our coffee is a wonderful sweet treat bonus. Always been one of Trafalgar Street staples,so long may it remain for the enjoyment of all.

Great french bistro in Brighton with excellent food - to please carnivores and vegetarians alike. Excellent brunch and lunch menu - with dinner later in the week/at the weekend. Enjoyed dinner so much we've booked again for this week.

Good food, excellent service. Very enjoyable experience.

What a lovely brunch place. Good quality food & great value for money. Good portions. Super yummy hashbrowns.

Nice ambience. Egg Florentine very good. Coffee mediocre. Granola a disappointment - basically some fruit with a dollop of yogurt and hardly any grains

Had lovely brunch here at the weekend. Perfect eggs, good quality beacon and sausages, and delicious hollandaise! Looking forward to trying it one evening.

We had the most amazing brunch with my husband. The vegan breakfast is a dream. Great service from Joe who made sure we had everything we needed. We will be back.

Superb lunchtime cafe/restaurant . Excellent service and food. Well worth a visit.

I had a tasty brunch (eggs Florentine), I would have liked a larger portion but it was good. Nice and central in North laine, close to Brighton station and lots of cool shops

Always a must when in Brighton.

Fabulous experience! We went for dinner, and every dish was exquisite. The service was perfect - attentive but also with enough space to enjoy yourself. The most memorable meal of our trip, and not too expensive either. We will be back whenever we return to Brighton!

Lovely cafe. Grest for an afternoon drink and non sandwich options available.

Lovely wine, outstanding food bursting with flavours, attentive and friendly service - we had a wonderful evening, thank you! Highly recommend!

Went here for a colleague's leaving breakfast. Absolutely loved it. The food, the service, the staff. It's a must visit for Brighton trips.

Had breakfast at this place before my sight seeing in the city and it was a very good experienced. The place was not busy at that time and got seated by window. Staff were very friendly, quick and accommodating. I had the Madame Croque Monsieur and I enjoyed every bite. It was so so so good and very tasty. The Capuccino was very good but wishing the cup would be a bit bigger. I highly recommend this place to visit when you’re at Brighton.

We have a great evening enjoying amazing food with lovely staff, will definitely be coming back. Andy & Jo

Absolutely first class lunch. The scallops were brilliant. Ambience just right on a pouring wet day. Thank you.

This was our 2nd visit to Mange Tout and it was even better than our first time. The stand out features are that this is authentic, fresh cooked, quality food. The team are friendly and knowledgeable, giving us great understanding of their small-producer wines. Service was efficient and engaging but un-hurried. We had a perfect evening. Can’t recommend highly enough. We will definitely be returning.

Best breakfast I have had in a long time

Lovely restaurant. Great food. Excellent friendly service. Tiny observations - The fish cakes were too peppery. The walls could do with some art.

The food was AMAZING, the staff were so kind and honestly the entire experience was great. I will definitely be coming back regularly!

Really tasty brunch and drinks, lovely staff and quick service - can’t wait to go again!

Unfortunately they don't advise when they change a classic like the crème brulé. The salad was soaked in vinegar. Still one of the best french restaurants in Brighton

Great for brunch. Fantastic coffee and excellent food. Very friendly service and welcoming of our two dogs. Very busy by 11am so would recommend going a little earlier than that.

Ordered eggs royale and a mocha. The eggs royal was nice but the coffee was tasteless. Don't recommend the coffee here at all

Went here for a birthday meal with boyfriend. Had been to Mangetout a few years ago when it was in the Lanes but the new Mangetout is very different. The food is still superb (we both had the duck and then the creme brulee) but the wine was disappointing. Very little choice of wine too so had to have what was available, which was overpriced for cheap french white. Venue is very informal, but service was good.

We randomly popped in for lunch. We had the crispy skin sea bass and sea food bouillabaisse with saffron potatoes. It was amazing. We spent 3 weeks in Brighton whilst on holiday from NZ and ate far too much. Both myself and my wife agreed that this dish was the best dish of the trip by far. I remember I shook the chef's hand.Fantastic food, service and atmosphere.

I really rate this place; last time I visited I had a really nicely cooked Sea Bass. This time I opted for leg of rabbit with gnocchi, leek and sun dried tomato in a very tasty sauce. Absolutely delicious. Ditto the lasagne that my wife ordered. Also very friendly, helpful service (they charged our phones for us as we are). Nice informal and welcoming ambience. Reasonably priced too. Well worth a visit.

Update: every time I come in here I am reminded that eggs Benedict is in essence a French dish. Incredible doesn't do it justice. The ever present throng of happy foodie diners don't do it justice. If you care about your "Bene's", this is your place. 2021: Absolutely brilliant. Lovely atmosphere, a warm welcome, nice staff and most importantly, best eggs Benedict I've had in a long while. Both the Benedict royale and the full vegetarian were delicious. Great oataccino and enjoyed the rooibos tea. Will be back for sure.

Best veggie omelette this side of worthing

We love this place, visit at least once every few months. The service is great and the options plenty, and nice wine to boot 🍷

Great food and great vibes at Mange Tout! Didn’t have a booking and the staff very kindly accommodated us (a group of 6) with minimal waiting time. The food was incredible and very filling, highly recommend it for breakfast for anyone in Brighton!

A superb experience from start to finish. Excellent food, superb and friendly service and a good buzz around the area

Another visit for us to this fantastic French bistro last night. The place was bustling and we were seated swiftly. I enjoyed a succulent free range chicken leg with gnocchi and truffles. My partner devoured a perfectly cooked bavette steak and fries. A side of legumes and we were set for a tasty dinner. It would have been inappropriate not to have finished with dessert. One creme brule and a huge serving of bread and butter pudding left us incredibly satisfied. C'est tres bon.

Had the full mange tout breakfast. Very filling really loved the chipotle sauce. Perfectly poached eggs lovely oozey yolks !

The brunch is so good. Nice atmosphere and super friendly staff especially Joe!!

Delicious food and friendly service! We'll definitely be returning!

We had a wonderful lunch time here today. lovely food,lovely staff, lovely atmosphere. I am Japanese and my English is clumsy, but the staff were kind and helpful to me. (His name is John).I really appreciate for it. And I asked him to recommend menu and I ordered a croque monsieur. It was so delicious! I will definitely come back.😊✨ 友人と今日ランチで初めて訪れました。 素敵なメニューにスタッフ、雰囲気でお気に入りの場所になりました。 忙しいにも関わらず、私の不自由な英語に対しても、丁寧に対応してくださったスタッフ（確かジョンさんという名前でした）に感謝いたします。 そしておすすめのサーモン入りのクロックムッシュは、ボリュームたっぷりで最高でした！また絶対に来たいと思います☺️

What a delicious meal, our waiter/manager Stephane was attentive and really fun, he had excellent wine knowledge and recommended le petit fanet which complimented our food perfectly. Will definitely be back when in Brighton!

Seemed like a good idea to go here to celebrate a friends birthday, as previously we've enjoyed everything about this restaurant, sadly far from the case on this visit. If you're a vegetarian you are going to leave here hungry - very limited options on the menu, especially if you're not overly keen on fried aubergine. We tried to work our way around the lack of choice for a starter by ordering the 'saladette' and some cheese. The saladette never arrive, luckily someone else in our group had ordered bread so we were able to make cheese open sandwiches. Mains equally terrible, tartiflette had raw potato in it and the risotto, although lovely was miniscule. Best thing food wise was the desert, pear tart, which we ate hungrily and enjoyed. The restaurant itself was busy and cramped, so much so that I was asked to sit right next to the door to the one (grotty) toilet. It's the kind of place where it's so noisy everyone starts shouting to hear each other and when the whole small room is doing that it gets progressively more deafening. A couple of comments about the service. The bottle of wine we ordered was delivered to the table in a chemistry flask, we never saw the bottle we'd ordered, leaving us in a position where we had to trust they hadn't just filled it up from a box out the back. And lastly, in what sums up the whole visit really we ordered Mimosa's for a digestif to be told they didn't have any orange juice and would we mind if they made it with pear juice instead. Displayed behind the bar was a massive box of oranges so we asked the server if they could just use those, he went away and came back to tell us they can only squeeze oranges in the morning. Customer last.

A delicious brunch on a Saturday morning. Eggs poached to perfection and tasty bacon. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good coffee. Get in early as this will get busy. If we’d arrived 10 minutes later we’d not have got a seat.

Let’s start with the positives. The service was mainly very friendly but with one staff member a little abrupt. The atmosphere is great, just the right noise levels and ambiance, with a rustic feel; including the menu on a large chalk board on the wall. Now the negatives; the wine was served in a carafe which was unpolished and dull. The wine was cloudy with sediment at the bottom. However, as we looked around, other diners’ wine was also a bit cloudy! The snails starter was almost tasteless, with barely any sauce remaining in the shells. Finishing on a positive; the mains of pork and fish were very good, as were the truffle fries. This was our third visit to Mange Tout but easily the least enjoyable. Not much to change to win us over, but the venue only just made it to a 4 star review.

Simply amazing! My first visit and I'll definitely be back

Four of us went to dinner 8pm on saturday night having little idea of what to expect food wise as there is no evening menu on the website so we relied on pictures taken of various menus on the chalk board. We were shown to a small table in the middle of the room which felt very cramped and the room was noisy. Drinks arrived quickly as we chose from an interesting chalk board settling forsharing olives,bread and Charcuterie to start then Rebrochon Tartiflette, Contit Duck leg with black pudding, Moules Marnieres and Red Mullet with scallops. Every mouthful of every plate was perfect as were the wines drunk with it. The Lemon tart pudding and the pastis were also excellent. The plates were not large and the prices were not cheap, but it was certainly worth the money. the staff were friendly and professional and there when you needed them. The whole experiance reminded me of the atmosphere and food we had eaten in bistros in france in the 1970's and the fact that the place was packed and the table was small just made it for a great evening. Highly recommended.

A very interesting place. A bit pricey. We all had small dishes for £11 ea. when for a proper meal we should have gone large for £20.

Consistently delicious food with a varied and fascinating menu. Good vegetarian and meat options. Lovely, quirky staff. We had a combination of starters and mains. All fabulous and well presented.

MangeTout is one of my favourite places in Brighton. Fantastic, interesting food in a lovely casual setting with really efficient and friendly service. Shared a sublime harissa squid with my hubby and we both chose venison loin as our main which was absolutely delicious. Even...

We’ve been going to Mange Tout for many years and have always been delighted with the food and service, but goodness how things have changed. Music blaring, staff larking about and lifting each other in the air (really? This isn’t a cheap cafe, it’s a...

Popped in for a coffee which was a Horsham roasters and tasted lovely. Saw lots of food being served and looked really really good. We will be back to try.

First visit for lunch. Chose board options - small sea bass portion and goose small portion. Decent sized portions, lovely flavour combinations. Desert also very good. Bustling atmosphere, friendly staff - what more could you want. Will be back again as soon as we get...

Hoped we could get in to try the lunch blackboard. Luckily we did and were not disappointed. My partner had Bayonne ham and figs whilst I had the monkfish, scallop and mussel wih harissa rice. Lovely. An eqally delicious dessert of poached pear and chess...

Really warm welcome and friendly service. The coffee is divine and the food is absolutely scrumptious. Would visit everyday if lived nearby!

Really mediocre, overpriced, food and incredibly rude staff….. the service felt very rushed, to the point where they were stacking chairs on our table before we had got up to leave and then swore at us!! So many much, much, better restaurants in Brighton on...

Amazing food! My favourite breakfast in Brighton for sure, never been disappointed. Staff can sometimes seem a little rushed. I try and make it down there most weekends. Reasonably priced for the quality, coffee is great too. You must get the tomato compote!

Good menu very tasty and reasonably priced. Friendly staff

Amazing food, cosy atmosphere and lovely staff! Favourite in Brighton!

Popped in for breakfast. It's near the station and very handy. Proprietor was really friendly. They had a good choice of Gluten Free options which was great. I had the best Eggs Florentine I've ever had as they make the spinach a bit garlicky so...

Gorgeous food and drink. Dog friendly too. Children loved cinnamon toast. Omelette and artichoke was delicious.

Lovely meal with friends last night. I had never been before and as I was walking down the street looking for it I heard great music and a happy atmosphere coming out of somewhere, was delighted to find it was Mange Tout. Food was really...

Arrived on Saturday night and hadn't made a reservation and had to jump the fairly stressed mini queue and ask for a table. And was given one outside. So great. Thank you very much. Staff were super busy but attentive, listened and gave me water...

Delicious freshly served food 😋

Excellent food and very good service. Went with 2 friends. Tested a couple of dishes such as cockles marinières, skate wing and feta and artichoke salad. The staff was very attentive and knowledgeable about the dishes on the menu. The restaurant had a good atmosphere....

Have previously been for both brunch and dinner and received good service and lovely food, however sometimes a true test is when things go a little less smoothly. Unfortunately my partner had a long hair buried in his food which was rather unpleasant, but of...

An amazing atmosphere and food!

What a shame !!!! What happened to this place ? I left a great review last time we went there but everything has gone so bad. Staff very unfriendly and stressed, running every all over the place and giving attitude to customers. The food is...

The food here cannot be over praised. We had to come back again two days leter. Exquisite dishes in a rustic atmosphere. Humorous staff too.

Just about the perfect breakfast place. Situated in a lovely road with loads of vintage shops. The brunch menu with the full English breakfast was fantastic. The bacon and sausages were both really high quality. First class produce. Freshly squeezed orange juice was on the...

Great breakfast. All very high quality- excellent sausages, bacon etc. the orange juice was really fresh. Nice vibe with friendly service. Good quality coffee as well.

Just finishing up a delicious breakfast - tasty, filling and well worth it. The staff are friendly and helpful and I will definitely return when I'm in town.

I had a great lunch with a friend whilst shopping in Brighton last Saturday. We had called in for morning coffee and decided to book for lunch. We’re glad we booked, because when we arrived at 1pm, we took the last table! My friend had...

Mange Tout is off the beaten track and a quirky Café. Mange Tout means to Eat All in French. I certainly ate all my Mange Tout Végétarien for £11.50 (seared Sussex organic haloumi cheese, roasted mushrooms, wilted spinach, tomato compote, two organic eggs any way...

We had seen Mange Tout on a best breakfast in Brighton list, so found it out. We sat outside on a lovely sunny Monday morning. I went for the ham and cheese croissant and my partner the poached eggs on sourdough toast. Both were excellent,...

Best breakfast Brighton has to offer! And that’s a lot of good breakfast choices! Looking forward to having dinner here!!

Mange Tout offers exceptional French cuisine in an informal bistro setting and consistently comes up trumps. We dined two nights in a row and enjoyed a beautiful bavette steak and a mouth watering reblochon which oozed with a cheesy, creamy richness. Ingredients are clearly carefully...

Mange Tout is consistently great. The food is fantastic and the staff are wonderful. Absolutely a top favourite and good value to boot. We particularly like sitting in the window

Lovely twist on a cooked breakfast. Good service and nice range of food and drink. Merci!

We love food: cooking it and eating it. This is our favourite spot to come for a brunch, lunch or sometimes dinner. The menu is always imaginative and fresh without being in any way pretentious.

The food was delicious, the staff were super accommodating of our bulky pram and gave us a lovely corner spot so baby could sleep. They were a nice balance of attentive and letting us get on with catching up and enjoying the food. The mussels...

We had a great lunch in Mange Tout, with very good coffee and delicious food, especially the omelettes!

Had walked past this place many times but had never eaten there. Decided to take the plunge with some friends and it certainly lived up to its expectations. Food was absolutely divine and the wine that was recommended was excellent. Our waiter I think was...

There are so many places to choose from for brunch in Brighton on a wet wintry day and we ‘lucked out’ in choosing this place. It’s like Bill’s was before it became a commercialised chain - vibrant, tasty with an enthusiastic and attentive staff -...

Never been!! Wanted a nice meal with table service. Welcomed warmly!! Served quickly!! And food amazing!! Had Halibut which was lovely. Staff so attentive and they knew all regulars!! They also have a loyalty card. Booked for my next visit already!!

Called in for Sunday brunch. I had the vegetarian breakfast which was delicious. Staff friendly and attentive. The restaurant was very busy and some what noisy.

Great food, finally a Brighton chef who knows how to season food. Pork belly perfectly cooked, chicken with wild mushrooms was delicious if a tiny bit cool for my liking, snails great garlic butter and mixed berry almond tart was a perfect finish to lunch....

Really enjoyed breakfast today. Excellent food, lovely atmosphere and friendly service. The place was full and very lively.

Lovely cosy bar with delicious wine and great selection of cheeses

Benjamin and Karolina and all the team are always so welcoming and great. Brunch is the best ever! Veggie with a sausage on the side and the best juice and iced coffee around.

Really lovely staff working here and good food with good portion and great tea I am French so I usually try not to go to French restaurants in UK to avoid to be disappointed but this one was really good, I took the croque monsieur...

What an amazing place for brunch! We had seen the great reviews so tried it for ourselves and were not disappointed 👏👏. We went for Eggs popeye & chicken and mushrooms on sourdough - both were perfect 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I can’t believe what they manage to...

I’m in awe of how incredible this place is. Excellent service, complimentary water, quick service. I am struggling to find words that justify the food. A true mastery of food preparation, conscious thought throughout the entire dish. Perfect proportions. Perfect. Godlike.

Searched TA for breakfast in Brighton and Googled it. Lots of top rated places but Mange Tout stood out as a bit different. We weren’t disappointed, the service was excellent; very friendly and welcoming. The menu was a bit different, but with all the staple...

Arrived without a reservation to a warm welcome from waitress Alexandra, a table found for my fiance very quickly. Our choice in wine was aided by Ben who has a sommelier's knowledge of wine, it was so interesting to learn about the different wines vegore...

Nice brasserie style food, but as soon as you've put your fork down they want you OUT!

Wow. First time. Veg breakfast was outstanding but the bloody mary - unreal. Service v friendly and location right in the Lanes so lively and fun.
