Thewitchez Photo Design Cafe Bar in Brighton and Hove

impressive food and millie was a fantastic lovely waitress x great date night had burger and cheese starter excellent food and experience.

We went to the Witchez as a family to celebrate my daughter’s 20th birthday. It’s a really great atmosphere, the staff are really friendly and helpful and the decor is very different to your usual restaurant. It was quite a different dining experience and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. There was no hurrying us along as the table was ours for the evening and the food was out of this world. Big portions too! Would highly recommend! Oh and it’s 18’s and over only in this restaurant which is pretty good, especially around Halloween when it would otherwise probably be full with families with kids!

Great ambience and the presentation of the food is awesome. The food was also delicious. We will definitely be back here.

Themed restaurant. Check out their website for a full overview. Service was some of the best we have ever had. So warm, nice, friendly and caring. Food amazing. A fantastic menu full of choices around the world of the travel of the owners. So well made. So tasty. And the place itself! Different does not do it justice. We were looking at all the decor for hours. Must book in advance. In the Lanes. The place to be for Halloween. Clearly known by most patrons as I could see some customers have been many times. Shout out to Sarah our waitress. Just so lovely. Great night and thank you

Very disappointed in the witchez tonight. 1. arrived at the restaurant which is a very cosy setting which is nice for a date night. 2. We were given menus. We ordered our drinks which took about 10 minutes to come which is a long time considering there were 3 girls stood behind the bar chatting and laughing. 3. We placed our orders Steak tartar, the steak tartare came out brown over oxidised meat with a raw egg on top and no real flavour. Im hoping it was fillet steak and not raw minced meat bought off there local butcher Smoked cheese, rock solid and chewy and the only thing which was smoked was the smoked liquid. The breads came with hardly any oil/ hummus dip. We asked for more which was dealt with. The main courses, My partner had the little hooves which was pleasant but again the smoked oil over powered everything. I had the Hunters strew Witch was average The bill came to 93£ that’s with 2 drinks I feel this is a lot for home cook standards It’s a-shame because the first time me and my partner went the witchez was amazing but tonight really let it down. Won’t be coming back in any time soon.

We had a lovely evening at Thewitchez. The service was fantastic, staff were so attentive and friendly. The menu has lots of interesting choices and food and drink were all spot on. Good music choices too!

Such a lovely restaurant - great decor and atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious cocktails and food with veggie/vegan options. Can't wait to visit again!

Always a great time and great meal to be had here, staff were lovely on Sunday night, we went at 5pm. Wish I had asked their names. A girl and boy. Quite young but so so good!!! The boy had an annoying diner and dealt with her very politely. Snapsss for both of them!!!!

Very cool and unique decor. We liked the food and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Definitely a must visit when you are in Brighton!

Incredible energy and beautiful decor. Food was outstanding and nourishing for the body and soul and a feast for the eyes

Amazing as the food* is at The Witchez (and it's seriously wonderful), dinner is never just dinner. It's an evening out - an utterly chilled, wonderful evening out with the Best Music and silent movie playing on the wall and All The Books and All The Witchez. Def highlight of our Brighton trip. (* we had the pear & goat's cheese + marinated herring to start and the lamb + Peruvian chicken to follow. All outstanding - we'd happily order again.)

The staff, food and decorate was just amazing, we walked the lanes and came across the witches, our witch was great at recommending food and drinks!!

Great atmosphere, excellent staff and the best food! Really recommend this place! So glad we found this place! The tartar as starter is a must!

Fabulous, fantastic service, great food review choices, crazy wild decor but fab, portion sizes are big so maybe think if you need a starter.

Went online to find an unusual restaurant to try whilst on a trio to Brighton. Located in the old choccywoccydohdah shop this amazing witch themed restaurant. With spooky pictures, witches hats, strange sounds in the toilets and a plethora of dark magic things it's not to be missed. The food is great too

Having read some very positive reviews, I had high hopes for this restaurant, but it fell shockingly short of expectations. The decor was interesting, if rather OTT, with lighting so low it was a challenge to read the menu. Thankfully we'd checked it out in advance so the offer of having it read out to us was declined. We started by sharing 'The Sea' where the most prominent feature seemed to be dry bread. There were a couple of pieces of herring. But if there was any caviar, it was extremely well disguised. Two main courses were shared. 'B.C' - a Peruvian inspired chocolate chili dish was a risk that didn't pay off. Very little was eaten - just didn't work for us. 'Little Hooves' seemed to be a safer bet as one of the server's recommendations, but it was a bland stew with over-fried dumplings. Again most was left on the plate. So plenty of room for dessert! We ordered two - a crumble and a brownie. A few minutes after ordering we were told the crumble would need preparing which would take twenty minutes. We cancelled and elected to share the brownie, which was supposed to be floating on a bed of whisky. There was no whisky. When asked about this on checking the bill, our server gleefully informed us that they must have forgot to add it in the kitchen - but the dish was the same price with or without the whisky, so no harm done. Really! Oh, the brownie was okay, hence the extra star.

Amazing amazing amazing From the moment you ring the bell, the welcome, the decor, the service, is outstanding. We had a 5pm sitting, the latest we would book when we tried the day before. We were lucky to have one of the owners encourage us to sample the wine and then talk is through the menu. I'd like to thank her because I'm not overly adventurous and might have chosen something more familiar had she not enthused about their food. We saw lots of dishes as the restaurant filled up and everything looked amazing. The food we had was the best, freshest and tastiest we've eaten in a long time. We highly recommend the Hunter's Stew and the Perogi but to be honest I don't think you could have a bad meal here if you tried. I'm hoping to come back with my family for my birthday and will definitely book in advance. Thank you all for an excellent evening

My husband and I visited The Witchez to celebrate my birthday. It being the end of October there was a great Halloween vibe to the restaurant. I had been with friends once before and found it difficult to describe the experience to my husband, other than to say it is quirky, so he didnt know what to expect. Suffice to say we were not let down on the quirky front. The portions are very generous and neither of us were able to finish our meals which we both enjoyed enormously. The service is lovely.

It's hard to overstate how great this place is. Great cooking, amazing cocktails and lovely people. The massive effort that must go into making a place this personal and warm is why so few places that feel as positive as this, exist. This is a special place to be welcomed and stay a while, with hearty food and kindness.

Located in the Lanes, this is a most unusual dining experience. Macabre and mysterious maybe, but the food, Polish by inspiration, is exciting, delicious and well presented. A very professional operation and most enjoyable.

Our very favourite place in Brighton. Fantastic Food Sublime Service Amazing Atmosphere. Just awesome in every way. We'll be back !!

Absolutely brilliant food with a unique atmosphere and excellent service. We will most certainly be back.

We here last night and found the whole experience great.... Staff are superb and food is fantastic. Will definitely be returning.

Excellent meal for two at Thewitchez restaurant! From start to finish it was a wonderful experience. Starters of pickled herring (you have to have the Mad dog shot!!) and the Tetra cheese were wonderful. They had sold out of the Vienna Shnitzel so I opted for a Polish sausage and my partner had the lamb. Lamb was cooked perfectly and was a very generous size, make sure you are hungry if you order it! Bar staff were so lovely and friendly and the owner Ewelina took lots of time explaining the menu and different ingredients and cooking methods. Would highly recommend and return without a doubt.

Love this place! The food is delicious, the vibe is amazing, the staff are just so lovely! It’s the perfect spot for a lovely meal for two or more, and you feel like you’re home (expect you don’t have to cook!) highly recommend!!!

Oh my goodness, I have been wanting to come here for ages after so many people have recommended it, and we were not disappointed! I booked it as a surprise for my partner’s birthday and the experience start to finish was amazing. All of the staff are the most attentive and lovely people, and one of the owners came over to talk us through the whole menu, recommending dishes to us. The portion sizes are super generous and so full of flavour, and they even brought out a dessert and some delicious hazelnut vodka shots to celebrate my partner’s birthday! Thank you so much for making it special - we can’t wait to come back and will be spreading the word! X

Like others we wanted to try something different and this place looked like it would fit the bill. We weren’t disappointed. Hunters stew was really tasty, as were the ‘Little Hooves’ with beef stew. My husband said the brownie was one of the best he’s had, while the mystery dessert, although hadn’t had it before, was lovely (it was sweet pierogies but won’t give away the filling). Also need to give a shout out to the staff who were so friendly and welcoming. If you’re in Brighton. Then give it a try - although would recommend booking!

Excellent food and service. Reasonably priced and very brighton. Something a bit different. would recommend

We were so lucky to get a table without a booking and were keen to try the food after reading all the amazing reviews. It did not disappoint. The chicken escalope was bigger than our heads and the bread and oils are the best I have ever had at a restaurant. The serving staff were absolutely lovely and it was a great ambiance. Don’t be put off by the outside which makes it look a little seedy / brothel-esque. My only complaint was it was very cold inside when we arrived, but the restaurant had only just opened so this was likely due to this. We quickly warmed up once food was served!

Macey, Lily and Sarah were our servers for this evening..an evening that i have had on my bucket list for years. I have wanted to come here for so long and tonight my expectations were definitely met. Wonderful vibe, food, service. LOVED IT!

Had a lovely meal at Witchez where the staff are all very friendly and helpful, the atmosphere is very intimate and a bit "quirky" (but very in keeping with Brighton) and the food was excellent. The menu covers numerous dishes from different cuisines / countries...

Nestled in a corner in Meeting House Lane this is a really marvellous place offering amazing food that is beautifully presented. Each dish we had was a taste sensation. The herring with the ‘mad dog’ shot pleased my husband while I enjoyed the Oscypek mountain...

Last night we finally tried the spooky and atmospheric WitchEZ, and it lived up to the hype and then some. It's voted one of the best restaurants in Brighton for a reason. It's kind of a Swedish/Polish fusion menu. It's in the old Choccywoccydoodah building...

Absolutely charming and wonderful with exceptional service! From the moment of anticipation, waiting for the red curtains to open at the front door, through being welcomed by our sweet waitress Andrea, to the delicious food prepared by the talented chef Dori, we were thoroughly impressed!...

Hooray.....the new venue is now open!!!! My wife and I have been HUGE fans of Thewitchez after discovering them by chance several years ago. Following the ever growing number of friends/fans/customers (call us what you like) it was inevitable that they would eventually outgrow their...

Quirky eatery tucked away in one of the quieter laneways in Brighton, but with a range of hearty yet nuanced dishes to suit all tastes. Meals are carefully designed and of ample proportions to ensure a satisfying feast for both the palate and the stomach....

Wow. This Brighton institution has recently moved to the Lanes into what was the Chockwockydodah premises. A very brave move but the girls have worked their magic and it’s better than ever. Devotees will be happy. A few menu changes but working on “if it...

Really lovely little restaurant in Rhodes. Stopped for drinks. Great service. My little boy had a fall and the staff couldn’t have done more. Drinks were great.

We visited TheWitchez for our anniversary the other day & I had the Fondue, which came with numerous fruits/veg & broken warm bread to dip, which was simply awesome! I was still munching away at all the lovely things to dip into the melting pot...

I had a Great Lambicious meal. My wife had a lovely Bavarian chicken. Served by the lovely Shauna from west cork. We both enjoyed our meals and would definitely recommend this small hidden gem.

If you want to try something different, this is the place. Not a traditional menu, with representative dishes from around the world!!. Great experience!!!

The food and service was absolutely fantastic. A must visit if in Brighton. May require a reservation as it is quite popular.

I just love going to Thewitchez! My and my fiance's first date was there, I meet my friends there for food and drinks, and go there with family. I also celebrate my birthday there every January :) Basically, the setting is perfect for any occasion....

We had a fantastic meal here with friends (24/09). The staff were extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the food. The menu was extensive which had dishes from all over Europe! Highly recommend and will be visiting again.

For our final night in Brighton, we decided to visit this intriguing small restaurant. What a great time we had. Small room with walls covered in photographs, a bar & at the back a silent film showing Peter Pan. The Irish waitress, Madi (?), described...

Thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Witchez, the exotic menu was a pleasant change up to my usual dining experience. Would recommend highly!

Described as a cafe on here but so much more. Quirky interior, warm welcoming staff and delicious food that would make any night out special. What’s not to love? Those in the “know” are aware that booking in advance is advisable.

The welcome was second to none fabulous. Great service out of trust world with extremely fantastic food large portions you need to be hungry.

Staff were very helpful, the food was unusual, varied and tasty, with dishes from different countries along with house specials The decor was very pretty, string lights everywhere and photos of the guests and staff

Amazing restaurant. Fantastic service, great selection of food. Quirky setting. A lot of love and care goes into this place

Wonderful, warm and cozy place serving amazing food. Menu inspired by many European cuisines will leave wanting to come back and taste some more of the delicious dishes. But be sure to try the steak and pierogi and little hoofs and rösti and fried cheese...

A fantastic restaurant run by a fabulously warm and friendly team, we couldn’t feel more welcome. A wonderful birthday celebratory meal at the Witchez!! Awesome food and equally delightful service!…we will be back : )

The restaurant is small and quaint with a wonderful atmosphere. The staff are fabulous and the food was amazing. We will be going again and again to try and sample the amazing variety of foods on the menu. Chocolate chilli chicken it’s just wow. Definitely...

Wonderful service and decor, full of enthusiasm. Very quirky venue and decent prices too. We had a good evening, with well priced wine at £25 or so per bottle. The presentation of the food is good but - we were underwhelmed with the food itself....
