The 30 Best Restaurants in Eastbourne

“Went with my family (wife and three children aged 10, 14 & 16) for dinner. We ordered a couple of starters and prawn crackers between us, followed by 4 main courses and three portions of rice (two of my kids don't each much rice) and some soft drinks. Bill came to £90 including tip / optional service charge. The food was all very tasty, service was prompt and friendly; our water jug was refilled without us asking, and they were very accommodating about changing a starter (spring rolls) that's usually in 4 pieces into 5 pieces so we could each have one. Would definitely go again, but find somewhere else to park. We looked at the dessert menu but decided to drive to the seafront and buy ice creams instead.”

“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.”

“I'm so used to eating chapatis that are thick as a carpet and it was a delight to find a proper thin whole-wheat roti here.(I bought a few extras to take home and freeze). Paneer pahadiya and chicken pahadiya were flawless and the side dishes were all also excellent. No batch cooking here, all freshly prepared and with interesting careful flavours. The owner is a sweetheart and very gently hospitable. This is one of those hidden gems- don't miss it if you appreciate authentic south Asian food. Extremely reasonably priced too!”

“An amazing meal after a long day of hiking! We were seated right away upstairs, our server was kind and welcoming, and the food arrived promptly. We shared the siu mai, chicken satay, lemongrass shrimp, and tom kha soup with mushrooms added. Each dish was more delicious than the last. So grateful to have stumbled upon this gem!”

“We came here for a pre-theatre dinner on a Friday night. It was 5.30pm so quiet when we came in, but it quickly filled up so possibly a good idea to book. The service was superb and the food came extremely quickly and was delicious. The vegetables were all fresh and tasty and everything was cooked to perfection. As we still had plenty of time we ordered dessert, which was also delicious. I love Thai food and this was amongst the best I have had. I would thoroughly recommend it.”

“Such a great place with so many good vegan options! Nice owners, great and fast service. The starters came fast and hot! The mains are so tasty! The tofu is super fluffy and soaks in all the sauce and flavours. Beers for 4£ are a steal! We finished with the coconut sticky rice with mango. Can’t recommend this place enough. Would come back any time ♥️”

“Enjoyed an amazing 3-course meal after being unable to get in to Prezzo opposite and crossing the road to try Dom. I always thought it looked a bit empty when passing but it's spacious with plenty of inside and outside seating. It was fairly full with a nice atmosphere. Service was good, food was reasonably priced and we were made to feel welcome. Will definitely be back next time I fancy Italian.”

“Great service, Atmosphere and the food was amazing. Would definitely go again!”

“Honest, tasty, cooked in small batches food (some dishes might be off the menu, worth asking what is not available). Competitive prices (especially on drinks). Had sauerkraut soup, pork ribs & goulash. All delish ! Give them a try you won't be disappointed. Clean premises. Service was speedy &polite. Polish & English spoken.”

“Very attentive staff and food was delicious! Great wine recommendation and dessert to pair nicely. And a surprise birthday petite. ❤️”

“Great sports bar, nice food, polite staff. Looking forward to going to one of their evenings when the live music starts.”

“Always a pleasure visiting Pablos and they’re always the first choice for dining out for special occasions. The food is always amazing with very generous portions so you always feel like you’re getting your moneys worth and to top it off the customer service is always top notch with attentive and friendly waiters/waitresses. The restaurant has a good atmosphere and the toilets/tables are always clean and tidy.”

“First time time. Class atmosphere and great food and service. I found the owner really friendly and accommodating. Did I mention how delicious the food was? Try the veg dishes and the chilli sauce along with your usual.”

“I couldn't be happier with the service and the food offered at this franchise. Out of all the ones I've been to, this one is by far my favorite. Their KFC is the best comfort food ever and their staff is always super friendly and helpful. Totally recommend!!”

“Delicious food. My daughter eats lunch here at least twice a week!”

“The pork pad Thai was 10/10. Also had the prawn on toast which I had never had before. It was good. The spring rolls were pretty standard. Hard to get them wrong. Service was fast and friendly. The restaurant is small with bar seating inside and a couple of tables outside but cozy and warm”

“As a vegan it's rare to have so many choices and we did! The food is so fresh and tasty. I don't like too spicy and my husband does but they had great options for us both. It's very authentic Mexican food and it exceeded my expectations as I have friends who love the food there. Really looking forward to going back!”

“First time visiting today for lunch! Food was sensational, as was the service and decor. £5.70 for two bottles of Schweppes soda water for our wine was a little shock on the bill, I feel you could purchase soda siphons or a soda stream to offer this to guests at a lower price…baring in mind it is free in most establishments. Constructive, as we had a lush lunch with you regardless.”

“Love the chicken gyros wrap, so delicious. After 3 and half years coming for a short visit to Eastbourne, the taste and quality still this same. And in second day the Cesar salad was really good.”

“Ordered a takeaway via Just Eat and the food arrived on time and hot! Great start, good first impressions. Then I tasted the food and I think I went to heaven and back. Absolutely delicious, I cannot fault anything. The meat was perfectly seasoned and so tasty, the fries were crispy and flavorsome. The Tzatziki was divine... In fact, the only think I can say is that there was far too much.... But that's not a complaint, it just means I get to have the left overs tomorrow!! 10/10”

“Solid sushi place. Good food, good service, great menu options. Chill atmosphere.”

“Very popular and for all the right reasons: great food - including very good value set lunch, genuinely friendly and attentive service. It's not a very big restaurant and can get very busy a lunchtime - a good idea to book in advance.”

“Absolutely delicious. Gyro's are out of this world. Big portions, fresh and super tasty. Highly recommended.”

“THIS PLACE REALLY DESERVES 10 STARS. Before you enter, you’ll notice the place is beautifully decorated, colorful, and welcoming—and it truly is like that. Before we were seated, we had to wait about 3–5 minutes, but it was no problem at all. The staff here are very dedicated; they don’t try to upsell or do aggressive marketing—they just want customers to have the best food experience possible. My friend is gluten-free, and they took great care of this, asking about allergies, which is why the food preparation took quite a while. My friend needed a lot of advice, but the staff patiently explained everything, and we had a really great experience at this place. I ordered the Salmon & Horseradish and Bread, which was quite fitting for the slightly chilly weather. My friend ordered a Taco, which was very large, so it took us quite a while to finish eating. Also, the restrooms are very spacious and clean. We will definitely come back.”

“Lovely food & excellent service!!”

“Amazing food and service. Was recommended to us and we will come again.”

“Wonderful little place to go for a laugh. Music and fun times for all. Great service with some of the nicest people! Love it all”

“Goat curry was #Bombaclat ! #whatagwan #aire #rasta unfortunately 1 man show the day we visited. However, we loved the food #bigup”

“Incredible coffee from square mile which is always a good start, couldn't leave without without trying a cake as well, everything I consumed here was a delight. Staff were friendly, service was fast, prices very reasonable considering the quality and care.”
