The Villas in Brighton and Hove

Fantastic flavours, small plates. Recently changed to £35/head set menu. Too much for some of us in the group. And made it more pricey than before. Would prefer the option to choose a la carte.

The food was over-salted, to the extent that 2 of us (out of a group of 5) struggled to finish our food. Additionally, something in the kitchen was burning and the restaurant filled with smoke. Service was also slow and patchy. Very surprised by previous reviews.

Very disappointing meal. This restaurant started out very well in 2023-24 but seems to have gone downhill. The service was chaotic, the food second rate with non fresh and cheap ingrediants, the bill was wrong and overall this is a poorly run restaurant. We thought we were going to have a nice meal, but this was a cheap noodle joint with stale sushi. Plus queues of delivery drivers, with bags sitting and waiting for them for longer than seemed to make any qualitative sense. Avoid at all costs.

Really great cafe in a nice part of the city, excellent food and great service.

Me and a group of friends had been walking around for ages trying to find a somewhere to eat and stumbled upon this and so glad we did ! Great coffee ( my husband is a little bit of a coffee snob so it’s a great complement) and the breakfast menu was lovely such variety and great flavour! Staff were lovely and chatty ! If we lived local we’d be back there all the time but will definitely pop back when we visit !
