The House Restaurant in Brighton and Hove

Great meal after we had all done Brighton marathon and 10k, fabulous food, everyone’s dishes were absolutely divine, lovely staff and great drinks too

Amazing food , lovely varied menu, unbelievable beef wellington, staff attentive and very reasonable

Used first table offer. Both had steak 🥩 very tasty but a little tough! Mushrooms and thick cut chips delicious. Great waiter 😊

Absolutely superb. Literally the finest beef wellington anywhere 😎🤩☺️

Had dinner here with my girlfriend last night and it was brilliant. We both had steak which tasted incredible. Very nice cosy place serving top quality food at a decent price. Well worth a visit.

Had wonderful coffees here for an incredible price! the atmosphere was vibrant in this sleek warm environment. Received brilliant and timely service from Emily.

Muy agradable visita esta tarde para un almuerzo tardío. Yo tenía el bouillabaisse que consistía en filete de lubina 2 langostinos grandes que aparte de la cabeza se había preparado que era agradable. Es un buen tamaño de porción con la mayoría de los mejillones de buena calidad. La base no es lo que he experimentado con este plato y no estoy seguro de que el caldo esté hecho con pescado como debería ser normalmente. Tenía un montón de hierbas tomates, aparentemente patatas que se habían cocinado demasiado y se habían ido mojado y creo que algunas lentejas verdes? Puede ser un palo que ha estado en movimiento durante algún tiempo. Pero fue sabroso. El invitado tenía el bacalao unas patatas fritas que era muy agradable y mi otra pregunta los hongos en tostadas con holandesa y huevo escalfado. El huevo era duro como una roca : / En general una gran visita y volvería

Cracking Sunday Roast. Especially liked the roast potatoes, just as I like them. Crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle. Fantastic! Full marks.

Excellent service couldn't do enough for you, food was amazing and cocktails 🍹 was to die for

Excellent food both times I’ve been here. The beef wellington was delicious!

Comida encantadora que comimos aquí la última vez fuera, así que era agradable comer dentro. Es un ambiente agradable y acogedor con música de fondo. El servicio era bueno. Tenía entrante de setas y un risotto que estaba todo sabroso Mi parther tenía boulabase que era diferente a lo normal, pero un montón de mariscos y una buena salsa todo muy picante y sabroso Muy buen vino Pinot. ¡Oh, budines bonitos también! Volvería de nuevo.

Excited to go to the house. Service and atmosphere cold uninviting, no Internet either. Starter chicken sticks okay but nothing special. Main course was very good the fish boulibasie, more mussels than anything else but on the whole good. Desert was a disaster, sticky toffee pudding cremated in the microwave, you could even smell it burning on the inside at rhe table. Dish taken back and removed from the bill but no compensation offered just an abrupt apology. Cost high for what was served hence the low score.

Reservamos una comida de tres platos para un grupo de 10 para una gallina. El servicio era de primera clase y toda la comida era increíble. Muy atento y a un precio razonable también. Sin duda recomiendo y volveré a visitar cuando vuelva a Brighton.

Wonderful dinner last night, my partner and I both had fillet steak and it was cooked perfectly. The staff are really friendly and the atmosphere is very nice, highly recommend!

Fantastic place to eat food 10 out of 10 staff spot on a place you should definitely eat first class

Super cosy, personnel très sympathique et dîner excellent ! Une belle découverte en ce soir de réveillon. Pensez à réserver !

Fantastic venue , food was great and service top knotch

Este restaurante era una joya de un hallazgo. Frente de la casa dio una cálida bienvenida amable y el servicio era impecable. El Beef Wellington y Bouillabaisse eran divinos , los filetes (un filete y un ribeye) se cocinaron a la perfección. Combinado con un ambiente agradable, esta fue una experiencia encantadora. Chuffed vinimos aquí. ¡Regresaremos!

Superb steak and fabulous wine Relaxing atmosphere Most helpful friendly staff Highly recommended

My favourite restaurant in Brighton, high quality food that always tastes amazing and is very reasonably priced. Can’t recommend this place enough

Delicious food, classy and cosy atmosphere, attentive and knowledgeable staff. Excellent.

Four of us had the misfortune to eat here for a special occasion. Honestly we’d have had better quality food and better service at McDonald’s. Ordered two portions of ‘artisan bread and butter’ as appetisers. I don’t know what their definition of ‘artisan’ is but what arrived was a few tiny slices of brown bread accompanied by 2 prepackaged portions of lurpack! Main courses arrived and two of them were stone cold. Waiter said ok I’ll get chef to reheat them! By the time they came back reheated, the other two meals had been eaten. We had a bottle of white wine which was a value budget wine that you’d pay £6 for at a supermarket - only they charged £29 for it! To top it all it wasn’t even chilled - they couldn’t even get that right. The bull for all this - £160 including the audacity of a £18 service charge.

This is a comfortable pub in The Lanes area of Brighton. It's close to both the shopping and the seafront, so a great location for visitors. We had a table on the main floor in a bay window, which was nice. The service was very good and the menu was nicely balanced. My wife and I shared the pate and prawn cocktail for starters, and we both had the grilled salmon for our main. And we treated ourselves to the Christmas pudding to finish off. The food was fresh, thoughtfully prepared, nicely presented and delicious. We would definitely recommend this restaurant, and will come here again if we're ever back in Brighton.

Xmas dinner with work group, food was ok, service very slow, I mean very slow. Nice quirky venue

Went here for an Xmas meal with mates; food OK but overpriced for what we had but good for groups and wine was nice. Overall OK 👍

Supremely scrumptious food as always. The House never disappoints with delicious servings for each visit. Definitely a place to try out if you've not been before. I can thoroughly recommend the Eton Mess to top off your meal 😋

I cannot fault anything about my visit to this restaurant. One gets what one pays for. Delicious.

Visited last week for an amazing Birthday meal, this restaurant never fails to disappoint. The food is excellent and so are the staff. With great value for money I highly recommend this steakhouse if you’re in Brighton

Excellent meal -had steak with king prawn sauce -absolutely delicious! Dining companion has very simple food tastes and his meal was cooked exactly as requested. Super service from Andrea who remembered us from a prior visit. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Sunday roast was super lovely! Service was great and staff were flexible with our order. Super lovely lunch!

Great food,lovely staff , a real pleasure to dine at a restaurant that really cares about their customers and always serves wonderful food

Lovely service, decor and atmosphere; lively, but not manic. My wife said "It's a long time since I had a steak as good as this" and my bouillabaisse couldn't have had more fish in it. Delicious! And the starters were great too. Not super cheap, but not shockingly expensive either. We'll definitely go back.

Amazing food and service but the atmosphere and ambience is top tier

Amazing place and service, food was great. And the atmosphere was amazing

Fantastic lunch , food superb, staff very good , will return soon

Fantastic food, great service, staff were excellent. Thank you 😊

This restaurant is tucked away, but I’m so glad that we found it. Really good quality, fresh food. The beef wellington is simply amazing.

A brilliant find. Off the Lanes. You maybe put off with the position of the restaurant, but once inside everything changes. Waiter first class, food amazing, cocktails and wine excellent. This will be my restaurant of choice when I visit Brighton from now on.

Been to this restaurant before when we have visited Brighton and was pleased to see that both quality and service were both still as good as we remembered. We took friends with us and they also enjoyed their meals. Generous portion sizes and cooked to perfection. Next time we visit, we will make The House Restaurant our first dinner stop

Sunday lunch whilst jewellery shopping in The Lanes. My partner and I had the Sunday roast which was excellent. Friendly staff, clean, pleasant dining experience capped the day off!

The entrance to the restaurant is somewhat hidden, so you have to look carefully. But once inside there is plenty of choice and the food is delicious. The service was also neat and fast. Would definitely go here if I'm in Brighton again.

Shame this restaurant is tucked away down an alleyway. Four if us ate and the food was excellent and the service superb. Will go back when next in Brighton

There is some nice tables indoors and the food is good for the price, though not as good as other restaurants in the area

It says first cone first served. Travelled from north Kent. By 15.15. They sold ut of roast dinners. Only been open 3 hours.!!!! Poor stock control

We had an excellent meal here last night. My steak with macaroni was delicious and my friends thoroughly enjoyed their pan fried chicken and bouillabaisse - puddings and service were great too. Looking forward to coming back.

There are some decent steakhouses in Brighton and I'll definitely include this place in that list! The florentine with blue cheese made an interesting starter, the steaks both prepared as requested and well presented. Good value for quality of food, but would say the drinks are a little overpriced.

Sat outside in one of the last sunny days. The squid starter & bread was excellent. The Bouillabaisse didn’t really have enough depth of flavour but the seafood was well cooked. The chicken mustard main was very tasty. Wine reasonably priced… all in all very enjoyable

I tried beef wellington for the first time at this restaurant. I thought it was excellent. Service was also great and a pleasant atmosphere. My fiancé and I recommend it.

Honestly best steak ever - it was a lunch deal and super cheap

Lovely little restaurant, plenty of outside seating, although we sat inside because of weather and small children. The food was amazing, the service fantastic, and they did ready well by our two small children.

I have been to the Gordon Ramsey restaurant in soho.. and paid £99 for a beef wellington… this was absolutely amazing and was far better..congratulations to the chef…. AMAZING!!!!!

Beef Wellington was perfect. Awesome time and beautiful views.

My third visit to The House and it was amazing. Everything about it was excellent - food, wine, service and ambience. A great place to visit for exceptional food.

First time going and it’s lovely there! Even though it’s supposed to be summer, it was quite chilly when sitting out in the courtyard so we had the heater on and it was lovely! The food was super tasty and the waitress was very helpful and positive. The only improvement I would suggest would be to have a mesh divider between the courtyard and the taxi tank side as it was a bit noisy and distracting.

Our first choice restaurant wasn’t available to celebrate our wedding anniversary so we were recommended to try here. On a Bank Holiday Monday it was quiet but the staff were attentive and friendly. The steaks were amazing, wine choice was smooth and our espresso martinis were good. I have walked past here in the past and never ventured in but we will be back

Incredible food. My partner and I had a meal here and the food was so good. We shared a nice bottle of wine while having seafood and risotto.

Excellent steak house with extensive optional menu. Very friendly and efficient service at reasonable prices. Would certainly recommend 👌

We had the most delicious dinner here , it wasn’t busy as we ate early , only had a main course and pud . The steak pasta was so lovely, very well seasoned piping hot and topped with lots of fresh Parmesan. My wife had the chicken breast ( equally as good ) followed by a yummy chocolate torte . Service was very attentive and friendly. Not a pretentious restaurant very laid back with an interesting menu . Not expensive either …… what’s not too like !

Service good especially as we were there during pride. Food well presented and substantial. Only issue gluten free instead of identifying what was available gluten free received lecture of nothing safe as kitchen not gluten free then offered to removed garlic break from seafood building charged same and item not replaced

Lovely staff, the food was very good although none of it struck me as incredible given the price, but worth the money for sure.

Lovely Sunday dinner and child's menu. Proper apple juice (always a test for me!) and good value for money. It was quiet at the time we went and I'd say the food was as good as when I went several years ago.

We ate in the restaurant which is tucked away in one of the Lanes (they also have an outside covered area in an open square around 50 metres from the restaurant). We hadn't booked but were early enough to be allowed to sit at a table for a couple of hours before people came in later. Probably had the biggest and tastiest "Retro Prawn Cocktail" I've ever had and it was absolutely fab. For mains my wife went for the "House" Bouillabaisse which she absolutely polished off. I had a ribeye with triple cooked chips which was cooked to perfection for me. The service was quick but not intrusive and staff very friendly and on hand to attend to you should you need their assistance.

Tucked in one of the many Lanes is the Restaurant itself with an outdoor covered area some 50 metres from the restaurant itself. We were just wandering around the Lanes looking for somewhere to eat and came across this place. We did not want to eat outside as it was quite windy and chilly, so we found the restaurant and were lucky to get a table that was free for a couple of hours. I had a "retro Prawn cocktail" to start and it was fabulous, probably one of the largest and best prawn cocktails I have ever had. My wife went straight into a main meal and had "The House" Bouillabaisse which came with a large bowl to put all the shells in and a water with lemon bowl to wash your hands. The Boulillabaisse contained seafood stew of King prawns, mussels, squid, new potatoes, fillet of fish in a rich and herby tomato sauce. Garlic ciabatta. It was a very generous sized meal and my wife polished the lot off. I went for their Ribeye with triple cooked chips and it was cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. Service was fantastic and very friendly. We arrived around 5.30pm when the restaurant was empty, when we left around 6.50pm people started to arrive and fill up the place. This is a place I certainly would visit again when I next find myself in the rea.

We had the fish of the day and it was AMAZING!

Highly recommend the Signature Beef Wellington. Friendly and attentive staff. Fast service.

Great place to eat, food always fantastic, staff are fantastic, if you have not eaten here, you need too, you will not be disappointed, fantastic service.

Food was great and the staff is so kind go here if your out and about

The best food I have had in a long time, the waiter was attentive we wasn’t left waiting too long it was a little expensive but once you are eating the food you understand why the food came with wine recommendations which paired beautifully, and true to its name it is literally a house which seems odd at first but once inside it’s obvious that it’s just going to work with the atmosphere. I will definitely visit again on my next trip to Brighton

I was in a hurry to find something healthy for the kids. Very surprised by the quality and taste of food, service and attitude.

We chose this restaurant for a retirement party, the food was totally amazing, lots of choices for even the pickiest eater. The staff were wonderful and keep the drinks flowing for us. Thank you for making a special evening memorable.

Terrible service, very uncomfortable , had a really bad experience where the staff weren't willing to accommodate with food preferences. Gave us no alternatives, no options and were basically implying that there isn't ANYTHING they could possibly offer us to eat :)

Tasty Sunday roast. Great service

Best meal I’ve had in absolutely ages (and I eat out a lot)! I have lived in Brighton all my life and I can’t believe I’ve waited this long to try The House Restaurant. The food was delicious. I recommend the chicken dish with mustard and mushroom sauce - I’ve never tried such a tasty sauce. I’ve stopped ordering squid in restaurants recently as it’s always been disappointing but I braved it and it was super crispy and tasty. Inside the restaurant was so pretty and had a lovely calming atmosphere. It was cutely tucked away in the lanes. Service was excellent and all food and drinks arrived quickly. I can’t wait to return and this will be my new ‘go to’ from now on

Very nice interior and atmosphere, friendly staff and quick service. I was served with very tasty and delicious bouillabaisse, highly recommend. Removing two stars for the cocktail - it was so watery and alcohol zero-ish that should be named Waterol, not Aperol.

Really lovely food, friendly staff and in a nice setting.

I don't write many reviews, but the quality of the food we ate tonight was superb. The best I have tasted in a long while. I had the sea bass and my partner had the mushroom rissotto all washed down with a first rate Sauvignon Blanc.

Had a lovely lunch special with my two sisters and the service was attentive and the food was really good. We will look forward to a future visit especially to try the beef Wellington.

The House Restaurant in Brighton is highly recommended for its exceptional service and quality of food. The ambience of the restaurant is soothing and adds to the overall dining experience. Visitors can expect a delightful meal and a memorable experience. If you're planning a trip to Brighton, be sure to add The House Restaurant to your list of must-visit places.

Found this little gem from reviews on line and they didn’t do it justice ! Compliments to the chef -had prawns and chilli squid for starters didn’t think it could get any better till we had the special of sea bass and fish stew .Definitely recommend and if ever in Brighton again will ensure to visit again

Reasonable value set lunch for £11

We had booked a table with the owner for 14 on the evening after the Brighton marathon, which changed to 12 on the night due to a couple of the runners not feeling great. This wasnt a problem. I had spoken to the owners wife, Hendrick and Andrea before the day due to various issues. All were friendly and helpful. Most of us had pre-ordered and some changed their orders on the night. This wasnt a problem. Some of our group were 15 mins late. This wasnt a problem. The restaurant was busy, however, the food came out promptly and was fantastic. Andrea was running the show and he and his team were calm, friendly and helpful. Was one of the best experiences I'd ever had in a restaurant. All of my group were impressed. We will be back. Thank you

Lovely restaurant, great staff, great food and service also great selection of wine. Really enjoyed our evening here.

Amazing food in a quite little setting, would definitely go back, the beef wellington is out of this world

Fish of the day was awesome and great service to boot!

Great food - recommend the signature beef wellington and fish of the day (sea bass) enough. Friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere. Would definitely go back.

It's a fantastic little restaurant and the food was exceptional 👌 😋

Wow wow wow what a lovely place to eat food is absolutly amazing I was having a dance inside eating it . If your visiting Brighton this is a must place to eat . Our new favourite place to eat in Brighton

Quality food will only eat here when visiting. Atmosphere is relaxed food is top notch would recommend the steak pasta and fish and chips are off the hook best you'll ever try

It is a cozy little restaurant with delicious food. I had the Sunday roast and was very yummy. English food with a French flair. The meat was tender, crispy roasted potato, perfectly roasted carrots and crunchy steamed green beans and the icing on cake was the gravy. The pint of beer was excellent.

Try the beef Wellington and the steak here. It was acceptable for the price and flavour. The steak pasta was not good. Chewy steak Maybe a little short of staff, so it takes time to get served.

Enjoyed a delicious lunch, the beef wellington, in lovely surroundings with friendly staff. All good until it came to paying the bill. They refused to take my chip and signature credit card as it cost too much to process. Luckily the person I was with paid. Not a good way to treat your disabled customers.

Mine and my Fiancé’s favourite place to eat in Brighton, we’ve been coming here for afew years now… delicious food & friendly attentive staff! 10/10,

Steak was lovely. Atmosphere basic - better lighting would give a cosier feel. Friendly staff. Expensive. We booked for a birthday but it wasn't acknowledged, even though we told them when we booked online.

Very nice restaurant. We have visited four times now over the last couple of years and it has never failed to disappoint. The staff are professional and the service quick. There is a lovely ambience and we feel really comfortable. The food is amazing...so tasty, and the prices are reasonable as well. We will definitely return :-)

Absolutely the best steak restaurant in Brighton, with a fab selection of other food fare too. The service is excellent and thr food is cooked as you specify, nothing is too much bother. I cannot recommend too highly. Great music!

Extremely pleasant and atmospheric establishment. We ordered fish and steak, very tasty. Good service, friendly staff and VERY tasty food. I recommend visiting the establishment ❤️🇺🇦

Unbelievably good! I had the beef Wellington and every element (meat, mushroom and pastry) was cooked perfectly. It doesn't feel pretentious, the restaurant has a really nice vibe . Overall would highly recommend

Food good , prices acceptable, but the star of the night was the young Italian waiter from Naples . Polite , attentive , friendly and extremely employable . He will go onwards and upwards

I am giving you this note for a presentation in France

I went here with my wife we looked online for restaurants and found this place didn't know what to expect but turns out we found a little gem of a place. Food was amazing and service too thank you for making our night
