The best restaurants in Brighton and Hove South East

Lovely food one of the best lebanese food in UK 🇬🇧 love it

Have used numerous times as a pre-concert meal venue. Lovely food, friendly staff. 10-15 minutes walk to The Dome or the Brighton Center.

Exceptional restaurant 👌 one of my favourites in Hove. Best pasta outside of Italy. #Bellissimo

To have so many Google reviews at an average of 4.9* is quite something. My only slight concern before arriving was that The WitchEZ wouldn't quite live up to expectations, which were very high. But it did. It is everything other reviewers have said. Cute little location tucked away in the Lanes, quirky and interesting decor and witchy theme. The food was amazing. Some interesting and diverse menu options. My daughter and I had The Sea and Tatra Mountains to start, Witchelicious burger and Rosti for mains. They were all delicious, and meticulously prepared and presented. I'll give special mention to The Sea, such an interesting array of flavours, perfectly balanced. I ate slowly, to savour every mouthful. The service was lovely, the right level of attentive, and just very genuine and nice. It's a fairly small place (not tiny) and it seems they sensibly 'know their limits' on how many tables they can manage at one sitting, to keep standards high. It was a fabulous and joyful experience. Thank you. We'll be back!

An hidden gem on the Brighton seafront, this little and cosy restaurant offers a proper Peruvian experience, from the warm hospitality of the staff, which make you feel like an old friend from the moment you step in, to the incredible quality and testiness of the dishes offered! A must try!

Wonderful restaurant - staff are lovely and the food is DELICIOUS. Definitely one of my favourite places in kemptown 👌

Our favourite local restaurant. Customer since before lockdown. Try to visit as often as we can, and always take our visitors when they come to visit.

Staff are really friendly! Food is so good as well! If you ate non vegan this is a really good place to try fully vegan food!

The Kitchen Cafe is an old school proper English cafe serving perfect fry ups and lovely roast lunches. Places like this have almost completely disappeared. It’s clean, offers friendly service and good cooking of good ingredients. Top tip: order fried potatoes..

Absolutely class, runs like clockwork. FOH are just as much professionals as the chefs are, attentive without being intrusive and incredibly polite. The food is amazing, every detail of the dishes and the service feels intentional and laboured over. Sat at the pass and watching the chefs, you could just see how calm, precise and focused they were, while still having time for a chat. Expensive but worth every penny, these guys know what they’re doing.

Me and my friend just left the coffee shop - -amazing coffee and amazing service!

Incredible food, comfortable seating and friendly staff. Satay Chicken Dish was absolutely incredible . Will be definitely coming back for that soon. PadThai was really good too, one small thing I’d say is it felt a little bit dry more than I’d like it, not the best PadThai I’ve had but still really good! Thank you.

Best matcha latte in Brighton outright. Have come here multiple times, a real gem.

Empanadas are what Cornish pasties think they are. Lovely place never been before, friendly staff who recommended a really delicious empanada and gave me a loyalty card. Food was piping hot and absolutely fantastic, full of lots of delicious elements which all tied together beautifully. Little pricey for one item, but it won't stop me from coming back!

La comida es absolutamente deliciosa y el personal muy amable y acogedor. Un lugar muy frío para el brunch, estará de vuelta!
