The best restaurants in Central Hove Brighton and Hove South East

Amazing coffee! Beautiful cosy cafe, clean and welcoming. Lovely, friendly guy owns this place and cooks from fresh the most sensational food that is reasonably priced. This place is an absolute hidden gem. This is the second time I’ve been here and the food and service are second to none. Treated like royalty yet again…I will definitely be back again and again. Highly recommend 🥰

This little place serves the most amazing tasty food accompanied By personable staff run by Giuseppe and Fabio. Customers are made to feel like family and you are welcomed personally my. I will never stop eating here. It’s simply the jewel of Hove.

My wife and I have been fans of Stephen Edward’s food for many years. We have eaten his food previously at Cromwells in Small Dole, Whites in Steyning and the Camelia at South Lodge. I was therefore happy to book a table at Etch to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary. I did this via The Fork app and it was clearly stated that we wanted the ‘Michelin tasting menu’ in the restaurant. We paid the deposit and received confirmation. However, late morning on the day of the reservation, I was contacted by a restaurant employee to ‘confirm our booking in the cocktail bar’. I explained that we had booked the restaurant, but was told that they didn’t have that information and had no availability. The lady said that she would be contacting all diners to confirm their tables and would call me back if anybody cancelled, however I received a deposit refund as soon as I put the phone down and a message from ‘The Fork’ saying the restaurant couldn’t accommodate us! I’m sure the food is as great as ever, but it is the dismissive attitude of the staff over their mistake that leaves a bad taste in the mouth

Gran sensación al restaurante y el personal era amable y encantador con los clientes. Visité antes de ver un espectáculo en el Brighton Centre y la comida salió rápido y caliente. Tuve bruschetta y fuera de Italia, fue lo mejor que he tenido. Fresco, sabroso y muy bien cocinado. Seguido de esto con pollo Al Fungi y esto también fue excepcional. Mi pareja tenía gnocchi y eso también fue perfecto. Volvería a visitar la próxima vez que visitemos Brighton.

This is a lovely, inviting Italian restaurant. I was served by the manager and really enjoyed the carbonara and garlic bread that I ordered. He advised me that they make this the traditional way , ie without any cream , it was really delicious especially with the Parmesan cheese and a little black pepper.

Lovely Coffee shop, came after a long walk, had a Latte and a piece of cake both very tasty, great service and good value

This is a beautiful bar, nice decor. Staff are very friendly and best cocktails I’ve had. They do nice platters that goes well with the drinks. Thank you for your lovely service Black Doors! Will be back again. 5*

I wanted to treat my Vegan Daughter for a light lunch and she suggested we try this little place tucked away in a side street in Hove. I'm not a vegan but definitely a Thai and can only say what delicious food we had. The taste is 101 % Thai home-cooked with a special mention to the Papaya Salad ( Som Tam ). So good, so moreish. Give me more !! Won't be long before I'm back there again to try the rest of the menu and the Special dishes of the day.

Great food and fantastic service all be it a little pricey for what is essentially an upmarket sandwich bar. Service was fast and friendly and staff were attentive and helpful. On the downside the table and seat I was at were both quite grubby and looked like it hadn't been cleaned since the morning start.

Soooo goood! Jerk chicken and ‘doubles’ were amazing. Love all the dips, polenta chips and spring greens were bangin. Rly good value for money and easy collection. Can’t wait to try the rest of the menu!

Good morning to everyone this place is nice small Nice English people s. Running the place good breakfast and nice coffe clean

Fantastic food, beautifully presented - can't wait to try some of the Persian and Mediterranean dishes!

Bought a cake for work colleagues, we could not believe how light and amazing it tasted. It was not sickly sweet, just a lovely taste and texture with fresh cream. We all agreed that we could not remember tasting a better cake. Will definitely in future get birthday and special occasion cakes here rather than supermarkets.

The runaway success Lickle More in Hove now has an outlet in Brighton. Same menu, tastes almost exactly the same. Their Curry Goat tastes great and it is obviously home cooked with real ingredients (no bad food reaction whatsoever and I'm very sensitive to processed food and junk ingredients.). They are located on the first floor inside Castle Street Snooker & Sports Bar. Ask the friendly guys at the front desk if you can't find your way. Primarily a takeaway place but you can eat on site as well (at a higher price).

The Best Cocktail Bar in Brighton & Hobe. Very friendly and Family run business. Great selection of cocktails and food to choose from.
