The best restaurants in Brighton and Hove South East

Exceptional fish and chips, the best I've ever had in Brighton. Excellent batter, flaky delicious cod, decent chips and mushies. The service was very friendly and the wait was short, though it was all freshly fried. This will be a regular treat from now on!

As newly weds we wanted to do a couple of nights away after the wedding with our pooch. It’s always tricky finding gorgeous places to stay with a dog but Artist Residence now tops our list. They took time to ask about what our dog needed which was so thoughtful. We stayed in the balcony apartment which provided us a little more space and is next door to the main hotel entrance. The views and interior were stunning, the whole history behind the start up of the brand and the artwork vibe is right up our street. Small details are gorgeous, they really know how to decorate a room with the right palettes and soft furnishing brands. I was in my element looking at everything. The shower was fab and the bath in the bedroom was fancy. Even the dressing gowns made it that more special and lux - it’s the kind of thing you only expect from a super shiny hotel. Bed was divine and really comfortable, the type you sink into any get lost in. We loved the mid century feel and furniture choices! Staff were friendly and approachable always checking if things were okay which they were. Breakfast was yummy, could have eaten a bigger portion easily. There are lots of food options local and we ordered in pizza and people watched from the balcony. We’ve already got plans to check out the other locations and can’t wait to be back in those surroundings. We’d book again in a heartbeat, it’s 5-stars from us. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Very good crispy battered fish, generous portions of chips and reasonable prices. Friendly staff.

Lovely little cafe with vegan options. Dog friendly. Food was delicious and they have some nice looking cakes too. Does get very busy at peak times

Wonderful food, great welcome. BEST FAFALFAL IN BRIGHTON!

Lovely place no glass windows but have heaters lovely and hot for a night visit Bit Hidden away but have a flag outside Don't serve food but you can take your own

Callum was amazing, gave us amazing drinks. Highly recommend the Bootlegger cocktail!

What an amazing find. Fantastic service, speedy and delicious dumplings, very nice cocktails.

A hidden gem just a short walk from the center. Every time we travel to Brighton from the Netherlands we try to have a drink here. Relaxed atmosphere, nice people behind the bar, and especially the beers are excellent. Bueno Shake for is fantastic.

We went in on Monday for a free curry (for students) and I am hooked! The people running Tun Tun’s are so friendly, as soon as we walked in they greeted us with a smile and asked whether we’d like “veg, vegan or meat?” I went for the chicken curry. It was still hot when we got home to eat it. Considering it was free food, it was absolutely delicious. Lots of chicken, lentils and veg. Exactly what I needed on a gloomy Monday evening. I will definitely be back to try more of their foods. They also do a £5 deal for students.

I’m so sorry but this has to be the worst dining experience I’ve ever had. We came for breakfast. Four of us. We waited ages to be served, we waited ages for our coffees. The cook was on the phone trying to sort out online payment while we waited for our 2 full English breakfast £10 each and 2 full vegan breakfast £9 each. OMG I have never been served anything like it. To get a cold breakfast that was burnt to black after our coffee’s had gone cold was an experience that I couldn’t process. We just needed to go. I’m not sure what I felt but I couldn’t even begin to find words. I shut my mouth and paid the £51 bill and hoped that somehow life would give me something back. I gave a £2 tip to the young person who waited on us (slowly) but never any blame cast to him. A man who worked alongside in the antique/thrift area ended up bringing our food (no hand-washing at all) I’m a tad concerned about food safety. The bacon was black, seriously. Never again and it’s our local. On the upside, I won £30 on a slot machine later on and felt that it evened my heart. Please look at the food you serve. Customers deserve so much more. I’m sorry but the truth be told.🙁

Best fish and chips around and lots of choice on the menu. So friendly and nice eat in area available. Always a great experience highly recommend

Had the tasting menu and it was very good ,lots of flavour and a great home made feel - Its rustic but cosy and the rather quirky ,owner's customer service almost adds to the experience

El personal y el propietario van más allá para garantizar que tenga el mejor servicio. La comida es increíble. Definitivamente volveré a visitar

Lovely environment, attention to detail good drink quality,very friendly service,our favourite place on the seafront for coffee, with some jazz.
