European cuisine restaurant in Brighton and Hove

“We had an amazing experience at Cin Cin. The food was delicious — every dish was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. All the staff were fantastic as well: friendly, attentive, and welcoming from the moment we walked in. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great dining experience, and we will absolutely be visiting again!”

“I think the best streak in Brighton. We've been four times, waited to review, great each time. Really well priced and amazing steaks. Friendly, knowledgeable, service. A London chain had opened up nearby. In London, they're a no brainer. In Brighton, go local and independent. Open kitchen, the counter seats are fun, the chefs serve you if you're sat there. Nice wine list. Well priced by the glass.”

“Delicious mezze, great selection and lots of vegetarian and vegan options. Slightly dark in the restaurant itself but not a huge issue”

“Just wonderful. Came along for a date afternoon. Friendly staff, food was exceptional will definitely be back. Had the set menu. Thank you!”

“Snail garlic and parsley butter is so fragrant! And the Grilled pork chop also very juicy, the monkfish is very fresh”

“I popped in for brunch and honestly, it was amazing! The Bottomless Berry Pancakes were the best I've ever had, and the Bills Brunch was just lovely and hit the spot. Plus, that latte was perfect – seriously, every sip was bliss. The service was spot-on and the place was super clean, making for a top-notch atmosphere. I left feeling really happy and can't wait to return!”

“Genuinely maybe the best 3 course meal I've ever had, booked the function room for a surprise 30th and was genuinely unbelievable. We had Riccardo (might be slightly wrong) but couldn't have asked for any more. It is slightly on the more expensive side but one million % worth it if you want the full experience. Food and service both 10/10”

“I love this place, I always come here with my friends. The food is great and the staff are really friendly. It doesn’t try to be aesthetic like the more expensive places but feels genuinely welcoming and comfortable. I definitely recommend.”

“Fantastic venue for food, drinks and a boogie! Highly recommend, been going for years and will continue to do so. Tasty food, amazing cocktails and the best service, 10/10.”

“Brunch was fantastic here. Food was great as well as drinks. We opted for the bottomless drinks, but as the restaurant was extremely busy was a little slow with topping us up but understandable. Friend’s steak wasn’t great but was replaced immediately. Other than that, food was so good we returned the next day before heading back home.”

“Fantastic food, super tasty and all very reasonably priced. Our waiter Mo was very friendly and incredibly attentive. The quiet atmosphere is great for a nice chat however the place could be a bit more lively. Would recommend!”

“Amazing tasting menu & cocktails at The Cellar restaurant.”

“The owner of the restaurant is very friendly and nice, I ordered a basket of bread and fish soup, the soup is really tasty and has variety seafood inside. There are many restaurants in Brighton serve fish soup but most of them are pretty pricey but this one’s price is reasonable. The bread is fine, felt it is super fresh bread but it’s good enough. It is an small restaurant that run in Brighton for more then 50 years. Will definitely come back to try more different dishes next time.”

“This was the first time ordering for here, my mother said its a lovely meal to have, and must admit I am very pleasantly surprised, the food arrived hot, tasted fresh and full of flavour, delivery person very polite and cheerful, I dont normally eat a full meal but managed to eat most of it as it was delicious. Definitely value for money, have recommended them to my friends and family already.”

“You wonder if its going to be as good as you expect. The experience was a birthday gift from my niece . My wife and I went with moderate expectations but we were really happy with the whole thing. I loved the range of food and the care the staff took to make sure everything was perfect. The multiple dishes provided, solved my normal problem of what to choose on the menu and wanting to try a bit of everything. Just go with a few friends and have a great time”

“I feel fortunate to have a wonderful place like Semola in my neighbourhood! They serve delicious, authentic Italian dishes that are always satisfying. The atmosphere is cozy, chic, yet incredibly inviting—it's like being at home! The staff are friendly and attentive, making you feel completely at ease. With a relaxed vibe and an open kitchen, dining here feels like joining an Italian family for a meal. Every visit is such a delightful experience!”

“An absolutely wonderful experience. First time have visited and what a treat. The menu is seasonal. The food was delicious well flavoured and cooked to perfection. Staff are wonderful very welcoming and great knowledge of dishes served and the wine menu. Can't wait to go back.”

“Top-notch local café. We most recently stopped in for coffee but the food and wine are all excellent too. Very calm, lovely place to be and easy to recommend. A gem.”

“Amici’s is a gorgeous little restaurant! All the mains and starters I’ve had have been delicious and I love the tiramisu! Super friendly and attentive staff. They always have seasonal decorations- it is one of my fave places! Try it out!”

“Me and my partner went here after being recommended by a chef I work with and it was fabulous! I tried the lobster special and it was the best lobster I’ve ever had, the potato salad and bisque was insane and everything was ultimately tasty. We also tried the beef croquettes, oysters and prawns for starters which were all delicious and perfectly prepared, my partner absolutely adored the chocolate pot for dessert as well. The wine list is perfect, I had the cheapest vinho verde as wanted to spend more on my food and it was still fantastic. Only thing I wouldn’t recommend was the margarita but that’s just my personal preference (no salt rim, not on the rocks so if you like that then go for it!) Our servers were great too, extremely good service thank you guys!”

“I had the best night at The Gingerman and now consider it one of the best dining experiences in Brighton. The food was to die for. Though not cheap (except a ridiculously good value prawn to start), it is well worth a visit on a special occasion. The staff and service and ambience created an unforgettable evening that will be difficult to replicate. To start I had snacks salmon tacos and a grilled prawn. Despite the salmon tacos being delicious, the prawn stole the show, being meaty and sweet, and for £3.50 with the seaweed Alioli, I cannot complain. For starters, the bbq squid was the best looking dish of the night, stunning, with perfectly cooked squid, a sauce maybe a touch too sweet, but interesting textures and bold flavours. For mains, the lamb saddle could’ve been cut with a butter knife, paired with some simple but lovely veg, a jus made from the belly and some majorly crispy 100-layer chips, and you’re on to a real winner. The puddings were also solid, and a great way to end a great meal!”

“What incredible food!!! I had heard so many good things about Med and it even exceeded my expectations. Every dish was unique, exciting and delicious. A wonderful, friendly and relaxed atmosphere with great service. We will definitely be back.”

“I took my partner to The Flint House for her birthday and we had an amazing evening. The atmosphere was lovely, the food was incredible, and the service was exceptional. Alicia looked after us throughout the night and was brilliant — really friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the wine list. Her recommendations were spot on and helped make the evening feel even more special. Highly recommend The Flint House for any occasion. We’ll definitely be returning!”

“Really loved the scene and vibes here on a Sunday morning . The eggs Benedict was perfect, couldn't have asked more to start the day.”

“This place is truly truly fantastic. Don’t listen to the naysayers, the negative ninnies. The food is wonderful, the staff are gorgeously wonderful and the atmosphere top notch. In a way, this wonderful place is a bit of time capsule, but it’s one of the reasons why this place is so wonderful. Amongst the many overpriced, hyper-gentrified and over modern places that we are forced to dine in, this place stands out for something true, wonderful, fun, nostalgic and just brilliant. Just go and enjoy….”

“Visited late night and they still served us, the server (young lad) was so friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious and the chef was lovely. Very clean place. Huge portions for a very good price! We will be back to hove for this food”

“Delizioso e autentico! The moment you step foot in Amalfi, you realise very quickly you’re in a proper Italian restaurant. The ingredients were of top quality. We were treated some pizza after the owners overheard us talking about the pizza oven, and I look forward to returning to sample more. Would recommend.”

“Came for dinner on Sat night. I've been coming here for years, and have always loved it. Dinner on Sat was perfect, Catherine our waiter was on point, attentive and charming. The bar guys kept our glasses full and gave great recommendations. Every dish was seasoned and balanced, the kitchen nailed it! Cant wait to come back. Thanks again.”

“The restaurant isn't very large, and initially wouldn't accommodate parties of more than four, though they later arranged seating upstairs. None of that mattered, as the food was absolutely delicious, and one of the waitresses was particularly lovely.”

“The place is big, with a nice decor. The service very good, thanks to the attentive waitress. We had some tapas and the moussaka: everything was tasty.”
