The best restaurants in South East

Really enjoyed our meal on a Thursday evening at Swagat. With a warm welcome, drinks and poppadums to start, the 4 of us were given time to choose starters and mains. Mogo and momo made for very different but delicious starters, followed by goat curry, two chicken dishes and a fish dish with garlic. All very flavoursome. We didn’t have space for desserts but all in all with the friendly service and great food we had a lovely evening. Reasonable price too. Will definitely be back.

If you want authentic Italian Ice Cream, served by friendly staff with a smile then look no further! So many flavours to choose from and all made freshly each day by Massimo himself. Top tip, get there early!

Lovely quirky bar with friendly hosts and a good selection of drinks. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the local area.

We booked ahead as we knew it could get busy. We had a Thursday early evening for a few birthday drinks. The service was great, the barman was knowledgeable about the whiskeys and made suitable suggestions. The place is a lovely quirky little place, like a combination between a bookshop and a front room. The drinks were great and the atmosphere was also great. Highly recommended.

I popped in on the off chance with my daughter tonight - and what a brilliant time we had. Staff were so welcoming and genuinely wanted us to have a good time. The food was so tasty and fresh. Definitely coming back.

A refreshing new restaurant. Amazing food and decor. Staff friendly. We would definitely go again to try out the other dishes. An enjoyable lunch on a very hot day in air condition. Perfect 🤩

Lovely brunch spot. Visited twice now - great veggie and gluten free options, delicious fresh food and very nice coffee. New favourite spot!

Ein liebevolles kleines Café mit leckeren, selbstgemachten Kuchen. Jeder Teller ist ein Unikat. Wie in Omas Küche. Dazu der herrliche Ausblick und die freundliche und kommunikative Bedienung.

Absolutely delicious with generous fillings. We had a variety of sandwiches, baguettes, paninis and a hot jacket potato. No issues with anything, would 100% recommend and will definitely use again.

What a delightful little cafe. This is a family run cafe / shop and everyone was very welcoming. We arrived on our bicycles and the owner created a spot outside to leave them. Both of our baguettes were very tasty and plentiful. If you want a lovely sandwich for lunch and a nice cup of coffee this is the place to visit. They have plenty of seats inside and a few in the back garden. The perfect spot for a relaxing lunch.

Back in Brighton for business and stopped at my favourite cafe for food. Once again the food delicious the coffee lovely and the service brilliant. Can’t wait for next time

Early 60th afternoon tea, everything was perfect !! Venue, music, hosts, we will be back and what a gem of a place., highly recommend. Thank you both for a lovely afternoon, we will be recommending.

Great atmosphere and service with fabulous cakes and goid coffee. My husband rated the tea as “the best he’s had in the UK - ever!!

Lovely change from all the burgers and fish and chips, Dre's Carribean food is tasty and great value too, would recommend it for sure.
