Foodie gifts in Brighton

“If i could give service 10* I would. I've been 5 times over the years and the manager is just the nicest man you'll ever meet. Really passionate about his job and has this Italian charm about him. The food of course is exceptional with each pizza becoming more difficult to choose because they're all so tasty. Not greasy either which always sits heavy in my stomach. By far, the best branch in the UK.”

“This lovely cafe near the seaside, offers a variety of delicious coffee options. I liked my vanilla iced latte. The service was good.”

“This time we tried the choripán with spicy chimichurri – it was amazing! We also grabbed two alfajores de maicena to go. This place is a must-stop if you're in Brighton.”

“Fabulous independent Coffee shop. Fabulous coffee and breakfast Excellent service. Highly recommended.”

“Love this Deli. Not only do they have great food, coffee and fresh produce to purchase, the staff are friendly and welcoming. I have been using this place since it opened and many friends and family who are local have done the same on my recommendation…the new Tex Mex nights are great too! If you want a local small business to provide you with locally sourced produce and decent coffee this is your place. They cater well for vegetarian and vegan diets too which can be tricky in smaller towns. Recently I noticed a 1 * review stating they were told “rather rudely” that dogs are not welcome so left. Being a regular I found it hard to believe this. I am aware from being a responsible and reasonable dog owner myself, that there is a sign clearly displayed on the window saying “no dogs” as there is fresh produce on sale in the deli area and counter. I completely understand and respect this. We take our dog on the beach daily and end with a coffee from the deli where they always provide fresh water for dogs outside, tables and chairs for owners and their dogs to sit, and in the past have come to the door or outside to serve us when we have the dog with us or even offer to hold the dog on the lead outside for us whilst we have a mooch inside and decide what to order. So, dogs are welcome just not inside around the fresh produce. I highly recommend this deli - dog owners or not. If you want decent coffee, a great selection of treats, lunches and snacks, and to support a local business head to west beach coffee & deli!”

“Simple neighbourhood joint with yummy banana walnut bread and delish coffee. Chill place to sip your coffee while people or dog watching.”

“We were quickly greeted and seated and there was a lovely buzz as the restaurant was full. There was plenty for the vegetarians among us on the menu, and the waiter advised the abstainers from alcohol as well as suggesting wine to go with our food choices. I had a very good cocktail. When the food came it looked lovely and tasted wonderful. Some Spanish people at the next table seemed to be enjoying theirs, so I think it must be up to Spanish standards. We had ordered rather a lot, but there wasn’t much left! We had a lovely evening, and will be back as soon as we can find some more greedy people to share with!”

“Lunch on Saturday, could not have been better. Excellent menu and selection. Prompt service. Staff super friendly and very helpful. We the seafood meze and the vegetarian meze. Cannot recommend it enough. Had to have the baklava as a take-away. Absolutely going to book again. Looking forward to our next visit.”

“I stopped in here for a takeaway and it was very cool. Bit of a hidden gem I didn't realise was here. Quite spacious and good to hang out for an hour with a friend or a laptop.”

“Amazing food (highly recommend the Italian toastie), amazing iced coffees and amazing cakes to top it all off. Great location in the heart of the lanes with a wonderful atmosphere, super quick friendly service, couldn’t recommend more”

“This wonderful little bistro is to be found up a side street in Rottingdean. My wife and I dropped in for lunch. Coincidentally we both chose the same dishes, the crayfish and avocado to start with the crépè rustic for the main, both were excellent.”

“Decided to get a takeaway delivered so I could watch Brighton play their semi final. What a great decision. My food turned up hot and no errors on my order. I asked for a Chicken Tikka Vindaloo Hot,Hot,Hot. I added a special request for an addition of some bird eye chillies if possible. The food was superb. 1xVindaloo Hot Hot Hot. 1x Mushroom Rice 5 Poppadoms + Pickles etc. 1 King Prawn Puree 1 Onion Bahjees. Delicious 100% recommended.”

“Very nice food and atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and attentive.”

“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.”

“Venesssa, Nakita, Denise were incredibly hospitable. Being from a a different county, these girls made us feel comfortable. They are great and lovely. I really appreciate going into a pub that actually cares about the patrons that walk in. Honestly. The best pub in Brighton”

“Outstanding Restaurant I had the pleasure of dining here on a Friday evening. The first thing I was so impressed with the menu great choices for vegetarian and meat consumers alike. I started with scalops which I shared with my girlfriend and the portion was ample for two. Then I had pork belly. My girlfriend had the beef. Every mouthful of food was absolutely superb. The staff are friendly helpful and proactive. Even the drinks were first class. I cannot wait to return. Not overpriced too”

“I first came here on my birthday in December and was blown away by the friendliness of the staff, the quality of food and the prices! We’ve been back every month since, it’s brilliant for big tables or an intimate dinner of 2, I just love it. They make a big effort if it’s someone’s birthday and considering when we came last night we must of been quite loud (apologies!) but they were so cool with us and had great banter. So relaxed! Considering the big portion sizes and yummy food, I’m surprised how cheap it is as well. Definitely my favourite Italian in worthing at the moment. Thanks guys we’ll see you next month!”

“Amazing family owned business. The best kabab place in crawley by far. Fantastic food, really good portions and all very reasonably priced! Highly recommended!”

“Atmosphere was a bit quiet as there was a huge storm outside so it was less busy than usual. It's normally lively and enjoyable though. Food was exceptionally good, as it always is here. Great value, especially with the annual members card. Fantastic variety, catering for veggies and vegans too, yay! Would love a bit more vegan protein that isn't fake meat, but hey, I'm not complaining, just gently suggesting! Staff are always friendly, capable, available and competent. All in all a reliably fantastic restaurant with great prices, wonderful food, super service and a friendly vibe. Highly recommended!”

“Fast but delicious food. Small but perfectly formed menu. Recommended if you want good value and great food. Friendly staff too AND fully accessible. 10/10.”

“I love this place !! Best Chinese food in the south let alone Crawley !!! Staff are always so friendly and they always cater for what I need !! I always come in with quite large orders it’s never an issue and always hot and tasty !! Would never go anywhere else !! Thank you Lucy and team keep up the hard and amazing work !!”

“First time visiting this restaurant and was pleasantly surprised. Food was tasty, with friendly staff and atmosphere. Definitely did not leave hungry. Look forward to visiting again soon.”

“People complaining about the prices haven’t estimated well the portion sizes. Excellent noodles always very fresh, friendly staff and quick service. Our favourite takeaway place in Worthing :)”

“My favourite Costa with nice outdoor place.”

“The Asoka has been our favourite Indian restaurant in Hove for many years. We particularly like the speciality dishes. I think we've worked our way through most of the extensive menu and every meal has been great. Highly recommended.”

“Great food, usually busy weekends so expect a little wait”

“We held our wedding reception at Stanmer House last Saturday and it was AMAZING! The venue is absolutely stunning, the staff were incredibly helpful and organised, and the food was delicious (our guests said it was some of the best wedding food they have ever had). We're still on cloud nine. We would definitely recommend it as a wedding venue and thank you again to all the staff that made it happen.”

“Had a really delicious lunch here today. The curry, chunky chips, Caramel Apple Betty desert was of great proportion, delivered with a smile by the friendly waitress called Jess. My daughter had the open chicken chibatta with chunky chips followed by ice cream with chocolate flake & wafer. Washed down with the refillable diet coke & Fanta Orange. All in all, it was a lovely meal and didn't break the bank.”

“Best Beef Chow mein ever! Simply fantastic, the beef chow mein is my go to. And this was was favourite one ever. Flavour was great,beef was tender and delicious, great value for money!”

“Lovely food, been coming here for years now great service”
