The 30 Best Restaurants in Brighton

“It is very delicious pizza and friendly service☺️”

“Discovered this jewel by accident. Great food , pricing and service. The cantonese duck stir fry and chicken egg fried rice were both excellent. Will be back soon!”

“Three of us had lunch here last Thursday. This is a local Italian restaurant that is far superior to most Italian restaurants. The food was cooked in front of us with fresh ingredients. It was far nicer than most Italian restaurants and excellent value for money. The staff were very friendly and the service was very good. We will definitely return and highly recommend it.”

“Small little thai restaurant in Lewes. Didn't expect to find authentic Thai food in Lewes ! It was very nice. We had the pad see eew. Huge portion! 2 person can share if not too hungry. The tom yum soup was very good, too ! Most importantly the service, served by lovely Thai lady who is very nice and friendly.”

“Beautiful affordable fine dining. Well crafted and presented menu. Superb service stood out the most.”

“Such an amazing meal in an intimate cosy setting. The Octoberbest menu is brilliant as is the service! Extra thanks for the swaps :))”

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

“Delicious Steak, Great Service! We had a fantastic dinner at this steakhouse. The steak was cooked perfectly. Juicy, tender, and full of flavour. The sides were also spot on, especially the grilled vegetables and chunky fries. Everything was fresh and well-seasoned. Service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The atmosphere was cosy, and the small touches (like the chimichurri sauce and candlelight) made the experience even better. Highly recommend if you're looking for quality steak and a relaxed dining vibe!”

“Our dining experience was outstanding! The food was amazing, and the service was impeccable—definitely a 10/10. Kim took care of us during our visit, and she truly elevated our evening with her attentive and friendly service. She's a real asset to the team. Thank you for a memorable- Night”

“We went for an early dinner there and the pasta was amazing! The salmon pasta especially was incredible. The servers were kind and attentive and exactly what you want when you’re eating out.”

“I found your restaurant on Google Maps and am grateful for that. As a Persian fan of Kebab, I can say that this restaurant, Joojeh, was precisely what we have in Iran. Its taste and flavour were perfect. The service and the servers were excellent. She was so welcoming and made my experience even better. I can only say that there is room for improvement in toilets. There was no tissue paper, but the soap smelled very good.”

“I held my Husband's 50th birthday party here! It was fabulous.. nothing was too much trouble, the food they did was tasty and high quality.They made sure they had the right number of staff, even helping me do the decorating on the night! They are such lovely people and put you at ease! I’ve eaten here loads of times and it has always been superb so it’s not surprising that they can also cater and host a function so well also.”

“Amazing family run Italian restaurant!! My boyfriend and I happened to stumble across this restaurant this evening and we were extremely impressed- from the service, to the atmosphere, to the food it was 5* all the way through. We were both made very comfortable upon arrival and noticed that our lovely waiter made extra effort to make note of our names and to make sure we were all okay throughout our meal, something I have not received at a bigger restaurant chain. It really did feel like we were treated like we were members of this family! As for the service, it was very quick and the presentation of the food at mamma Mia’s is PHENOMENAL! I had a beautiful sea food risotto which I will whole heartedly say was the BEST risotto I’ve ever had. From the flavourful sauce to the fresh mussels it was perfect! My boyfriend also enjoyed his chicken pizza and commented that he has never experienced a pizza like the one at mamma Mia’s. I had the panna cotta for dessert and the food just keeps on getting better, it was so creamy and the sauce tasted amazing! I highly recommend mamma mia’s if you want an authentic, cozy and welcoming Italian restaurant. We will definitely be returning and I can’t wait to try the rest of the menu!! Thank you to this beautiful family for their incredible hospitality and talent :)”

“Really cute and colourful restaurant. The staff was super polite and kind. We had the Thali and it's rare that every element tastes good. This was some of the best Indian food I've had and I would highly recommend this place if you can never choose what to get at an Indian place ;)”

“Wow wow wow!! If you've never been to the Arcades restaurant on Worthing seafront you have to go! 5* food and 5* service. A family run business and a huge choice of menu and very reasonable prices! Where can you get a starter for £6 these days? We had whitebait and calamari starters. For mains we had steak, sea bass and cod and chips. All delicious and huge portions. The only picture I took was of the steak main If you've not tried this place you must!”

“We just had a truly wonderful dining experience at Moonstone and simply had to share it. This restaurant in Brighton is an absolute gem, and I can't recommend it highly enough. Every dish we tried was bursting with amazing flavours and felt so fresh. The staff were really nice and the price was so convenient for the incredible quality and generous portions. I felt the meal was exceptionally good value. We will definitely go back.”

“Fantastic restaurant with amazing food and service. Enjoyed a really good meal here, can thoroughly recommend”

“For those who remember the previous incarnation....the food is as tasty. Emphasis is on rich flavours and not simply heat and spice. The service is relaxed and attentive, the vibe is more buzzy and the menu seems to have a little wider choice. Great to have a first rate restaurant back in our village.”

“Wow, what an incredible experience the 16 course dinner was. The thought, preparation, skill and imagination that went into the whole experience was exceptional. From the chefs serving the dishes and sharing how they came about to the incredible tastes and flavour combinations. The teamwork, personality and passion came across in spades from the whole team. Jean is a genius, we were blown away by-the whole experience and I have never tasted such exceptional food. The price is not cheap, as you would expect, but it was worth every penny. The dishes for my vegetarian gluten free wife were incredible and not the usual afterthought that the majority of restaurants serve. Thank you for the best meal we have ever tasted. One Michelin star is not enough”

“Fantastic experience. Really good service and amazing food. The quality was exceptional. We had the lunch menu. It was excellent and great value for money. Already looking forward to our next visit. Many thanks to the manger who was very friendly and welcoming.”

“Over the years we have had so many amazing meals inside and take-aways at home. We went recently with a friend who was visiting and again, as always had an exceptional meal. Mal’s dishes have so much flavour, are cooked perfectly every time and the menu offers a great range of flavours that is always changing. This time we had marble bread, carnitas, lamb and cheesecake/chocolate cake for dessert. Can’t wait to come back again soon!”

“Lovely staff, even for a Friday evening we barely waited for our food. Fun atmosphere and amazing cocktails. We shared the platter for 2-3 with 4 and had the hot mezze starter. Perfect!”

“First time here, a small, "real" Turkish restaurant. Fresh produce, crispy bread...everything generously portioned and very tasty. I had a halloumi-tzastiki wrap, which was excellent. The service was very nice and friendly. I'd be happy to go”

“We came to Efes on a whim and what a great decision that was. Efes is easily the most authentic and lovely experience we've had in Worthing. Our server Ali was attentive throughout. We will definitely be returning and I would recommend the experience to anyone. The food was incredible, to the point where we took home leftovers and argued between us over whose dish was best (we couldn't decide! Both were amazing!). A 10/10 experience - the kind where if someone who was visiting Worthing asked me where I'd recommend for dinner, I would say Efes.”

“Lovely food & service. Greeted & looked after from the start. Free selection of dips & bread plus a little pide for the table before taking order for the main. We had a large table of 12 & food was delicious & consistent. Table given Turkish delight at the end as well.”

“Lovely food, attentive staff. Really impressed with my first visit here. Wanted to try a vegan food vendor and pleased I did. Husband had the chick'n pitta and I have the beef one. Chick'n one was very real tasting.”

“We chose Oeuf for brunch based on its great reputation, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The cafe has a beautiful, inviting atmosphere and the decorations are a nice touch. The staff were all so welcoming and attentive, and the brunch itself was absolutely delicious. The green smoothie was a definite highlight. If you want a more relaxed experience, I'd suggest booking your visit for after 1:30 PM to avoid the busiest rush.”

“Brilliant pub, great atmosphere, good selection of booze. Love the music and the friendly staff. If I recall correctly my server was Poppy and she was great for drink recommendations ☺️”

“The restaurant is absolutely fantastic. I've just had an amazing supper. Crayfish mango and avocado to start. And calves liver and mash with super veg. My partner had Christmas burger with brie cranberries and fabulous chips. Uckfields hidden secret. You must go”

“These days it's very hard to find a place that has decent food at decent prices with friendly customer service. Very pleased to have found all three at this place and will be coming back.”
