The best restaurants in Hastings South East

This is an incomparable, little gem of a restaurant . Top quality, interesting and imaginative dishes all created by a very talented chef using locally sourced produce makes it difficult to decide what you would like! Memorable experience for someone who is coeliac too. Good sized portions and amazing choice = excellent value for money. Don’t forget to try the Appasiomento wine - a true find. Front of house service is relaxed, faultless and friendly making the overall experience excellent. We always pre-book to avoid disappointment.

Babs Are you planning to open up again somewhere else in St Leonards/Hastings area? Best wishes.

After a walk along the seafront we spotted you and thought the cafe looked very inviting so popped in. we are so glad we did! We had a lovely brunch, my partner had smoked mackerel on toast with poached egg and I had the prosciutto, asparagus and poached eggs on toast, both were delicious. The Bloody Mary was served just how I like it with myself being able to add as much spice etc as I like. We took some Bakewell tart away with us to eat on the walk back and our only mistake was getting one to share as honestly it was the best one I’ve had, and it was still warm so perfect for this cold weather! service was impeccable, all the staff were friendly and welcoming, seriously we couldn’t fault it and will definitely come again.

Came to Hastings for shopping and decided to have a bite to eat and it was wonderful. I had the American style signature steak burger and it was amazing! Great food!

Best atmosphere, for relaxing and a chinwag. Only had sandwich, scone and drinks but selection and quality excellent. A must next time in Hastings.

Wow, this place continues to empress me. What more does someone want in the morning: brilliant flat white, great relaxed vibe, friendly staff. I opted for the Korean hash which totally blew me away. Just the right spice, lovely sauce, tender fall apart beef complemented by the onions. Possibly the tastiest different breakfast I’ve had! My wife had the full English: home made hash browns, crispy and light. Herby farmyard sausage, sweet little tomatoes and thick crispy bacon. Go here, just what the Dr ordered!

There is coffee everywhere now, but this is excellent and carefully made. The same care goes for their pastries, cakes, sandwiches and ice cream.

We have used Katja’s cakes for two occasions now and I can honestly say we will never go anywhere else. The quality, taste and look of the cakes is next to nothing we have ever seen and we got so many compliments! Katja is flexible, helpful and accommodating with a real care for costumer satisfaction. We will be back!

Fui con un amigo hoy, ya que vi el otro día. Yo vivo en la carretera y pensamos que lo verlo. Realmente precioso por dentro. Muy limpio y que me han hecho un gran esfuerzo. Servicio encantador, amable y cómodos asientos. El café era buenísimo y el dueño era encantador para hablar. Volveremos aquí más a menudo. Una joya escondida de Hastings y calle Leonards.

Best coffee in Hastings. Very good Italian pizza.

Amazing food, amazing staff, amazing service, amazing decor, amazing...Everything! Will definitely come back here again! Giving this cafe a 5 star review feels like an insult! It deserves more than a five star! 10 out of 10 experience and i will definitely recommend!

I have had many breakfast rolls from Eileen’s over the years. Great service, friendly staff and very reasonable prices. Food quality is great with amazing tiger bread rolls/French sticks.

Love this place, been coming since it opened. Amazing bagels - the crispy capers were a revelation. Friendly service, also dog friendly- can’t recommend Sleeper highly enough.
