The best restaurants in Westbourne Brighton and Hove South East

Long time customer.. used to have the best egg freid rice in Brighton.. sadly it seems the method the use has changed and now it just tastes like plastic thats been microwaved

Great place for a few pints with your friends.

I am so fed up with the chains and 'high-end' places for coffee and some food - particularly when their meagre vegan offerings are expensive and disappointing. So I was delighted to find The Tea Leaf today! I was freezing cold and starving and looked at the menu in the window - plenty of vegan options.. Yay! Nice and quirky inside - cushions, cosy and welcoming.. Couldn't decide between the stuffed peppers, minestrone soup, baked potato or a toasted sandwich. Eventually went for the latter-- lovely garlicky hummus, avocado at its best and veg... all served in toasted sourdough. And a lovely cup of tea with oat milk. Nosey me found that this place has only been taken over 2 months ago and, honestly, their vegan options were the best along the road (I looked at every cafe). If you want a warm welcome, quirky and a change from the same-old, same-old - theTea Leaf is for you.

Superb coffee and food, always a smiling welcome and a nice chilled atmosphere. And, if you come by bike, there's storage in a room at the back so you don't have to worry about your bike getting stolen 👍 The music is also great and there's a suntrap of a decked garden out the back

Lovely supper club experience - delicious home-cooked Indian food, and a friendly and interesting group of people. We’ll be back!

Best fish and chips around, affordable, friendly and high quality so glad the old owners came back !!

Just had our first pizza delivery, pizzas were delicious the olive and feta salad fresh crisp great compliment.

The food in the restaurant is good. The chef clearly has talent and the service on the night we dined here was very professional - better than some restaurants in Brighton/Hove. We had a Groupon and the value with this offer was very good. You can't get away from the fact that this restaurant is in a hotel though and I feel the management could improve the experience if they want non residence to eat here. Firstly put table cloths on the table. Have some background music. Dim the lighting and cover over the fire door -just a net or curtain. The atmosphere in the restaurant does not make for a special occasion due to lack of the above. The food in taste and presentation is great. There is parking on site if you're lucky enough to get a space - but you can park opposite on the seafront. We drank in the bar first and if I went again I'd drink elsewhere first - purely because it is so obviously a hotel bar. Maybe background music; comfortable chairs; dimmer lighting - it just needs atmosphere as the staff were faultless

Unfortunately I don't like pushy people! I was the only person at the time and was told to hurry so she could start making my drink! I didn't get a chance to even look at the menu 😕 I came away with a drink that I didn't really want but was all I could think of.

Nice establishment serving decent coffee and food. The staff are always friendly and happy to help. There are lots of coffee styles available as well as tea. There are also good food options that are made to order, as well as some pastry and other baked treats that can be heated, like croissants and sausage rolls. They have excellent non dairy milk options available, such as coconut, almond, and oat milk, to cater to any diet intolerances and preferences. There is a customer toilet, indoor and outdoor seating, and some limited on-street parking at the front of their building in Richardson rd, which falls under permit zone W in Hove. They also offer a loyalty scheme so you are able to collect stamps on your orders to earn some free goods in return for your regular custom. It's a great little coffee shop that serves good quality drink and food, and it's great to have them in the area. We tried the breakfast wrap today, and wow! Delicious 😋 Also, if you can, take your own keep cup and they will serve your coffee in it, good for the planet 👍 nice coffee and good food.

Came here for a Sunday roast and we were very disappointed. All i could taste was garlic. The chef added garlic to everything- Even the gravy had garlic in it. The Yorkshire pudding was raw and the pork overcooked.

Excellent food and service. Great selection of beers

The service at The Westbourne is just exceptional! I had a large family gathering over the weekend and the team pulled out all the stops to ensure that everything went smoothly! We were a party of 16 and the food and service was impeccable! The service flowed seamlessly, down to a great plan between the kitchen and front of house! To get 16 meals out in a prompt manner, with zero mistakes is no mean feat and yet, the team here managed it! No problem! My family were so impressed by the genuine warmth and service in The Westbourne. I am so proud to call this pub ‘my local’ and was very happy to share The Westbourne love with my family! Thank you guys for being so great!

Great quality food and great location but over priced. If you have fish of the day on the menu it would make sense for the staff to say what it was when bringing the menu as we had to wait for them to return to take our order to ask as we couldn't get their attention, but then weren't ready to order! We had steak which came with a few tomatoes and salad garnish, but we had to pay £4 for a very small tin of fries and £2.50 for sauce each... who would have steak without the additions that every other restaurant I've ever been to includes in the price! Two of us had two courses and two drinks each and the bill came to over £140 which I think is steep for what it was.

The food arrived 1hr and 30mins early, I asked the driver to return the food and cancel my order, the shop called to say the food would be cooked from fresh and sent at the correct time, it arrived 15mins early again. The curry was cold to luke warm and the rice was cold, the naan bread was soggy as if it had been warmed in the microwave. We order from there regularly until tonight, we had dreadful food and was lied to.
