The best restaurants in Regency Brighton and Hove South East

I loved it here for my mums birthday all the staff were so friendly welcoming and professional its a chilled out vibe very clean, great music, amazing cocktails and mocktails, gorgeous food. I will definitely be back!!!

23 of us booked to have our Xmas meal here on a Friday evening. We all pre-ordered our menu choices and a deposit of £250 was paid. The drinks seemed reasonably priced for Brighton which was a bonus. We were due to eat at 7.30 pm and moved to the restaurant. Our various starters arrived at 8.15 pm and were at best luke warm. These were consumed and we waited for our main courses, we waited and waited. Several more trips to the bar and eventually after lots of chasing the mains started appearing at approximately 9.30 pm. The beef short rib arrived cold so was returned and never seen again and when questioned we were told they were making it fresh! I returned my meal to the kitchen as it was now too late for me to eat without making myself poorly, a few others from our party had to leave before the food had arrived due to getting home for family commitments and not one person received a satisfactory meal. I felt incredibly sorry for the staff who obviously had no control over the debacle it had become. When we complained and said we would not be paying the balance as the food was not worth it but they could keep the deposit we were asked if we would at least pay for our starters! No apology was received and we suggested that our deposits would more than cover the starters. We didn’t bother hanging around for pudding and all left feeling extremely disappointed at what we had just experienced and agreed it was the absolute worst dining experience any of us have ever had. Needless to say I will never ever return to this venue again. It used to be such a good place for food and being a true Brightonian I have visited many times in the past. They really stood be ashamed of themselves and need a little more customer service training. Thanks for ruining a bunch of very hard working NHS’s employees night.

Very friendly staff I recommend chaiiwala brighton nice place to chill With friends and family the coffee and tea the food great good service

The good: the location is nice, right on the beach, the waitress was very friendly and the service was very quick. Tha bad: The food.We got the cheese and ham omelette, it comes with a side of chips and salad. The omelette had a strange taste, there was some liquid coming out of it, the chips were super oily and the sad-looking salad seems quite old and withered. I left half of the food and went away. I am not one to waste food, but I didn’t want to make the same mistake I did in another Brighton restaurant two days earlier, and I wanted to avoid to get a stomachache again. I did well because my partner finished his food and lamented a stomachache for two hours afterwards. Avoid.

The food here is good! I especially love the wings! Im still trying out the whole menu.. Granted the wait for food is sometimes a little long but it's worth the wait. I've only ordered to go so I can't speak on the dine in experience but the staff I've encountered including the owner have been more than friendly and professional.

Perfect, just what you expect 👍

Excellent fish - fresh, perfectly cooked, nkt greasy.

it arrived quickly and was warm, but the drink was missing

Friendly easy going place to eat a reasonably priced lunch. Has all sorts of things on the menu so it can tempt all people. Well situated and tasty food.

Just ate the must tasteless tomato soup and even worse Silverside sold as a sirloin steak in the bar at the Grand Hotel Brighton. I thought the sirloin steak tasted poor quality, joined at the table by two butchers and all three of us agreed it was silverside sold as Sirloin l. Unbelievable

Can't fault this cafe, staff were really friendly. The huge cods didn't go unnoticed, not only huge but tasty.If your visiting Brighton! You must visit grand junction.

Dirty glasses everywhere not enough staff waited 25 mins to be served ! Shame really .

35£ for a plate of scallops from the catch a f the day menu and overprice cheap bread. The scallops were only 5 and tiny. Now called coco bites. Don’t eat here. Scammers.

Really poor offering for fish and chips. Low quality fish and frozen oven chips. Certainly not cheap as chips either. However, a convenient location and the staff were great.
