 Cosy comfortable restaurant |
31 Upper North Street Brighton, East Sussex BN1 3FG United Kingdom +44 1273 32 8939 |
This homely restaurant has been serving Brightonians and visitors for several years. The host, Barry, has a reputation for entertaining his guests with fascinating tales and anecdotes. With about five tables and room for 20 diners, the setting is cosy and comfortable. Starters such as mushrooms stuffed with crab and garlic will tantalise the tastebuds. For a dazzling dessert, Grand Marnier trifle should not be missed. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Colonial chic |
3/4 Duke St The Lanes Brighton, East Sussex BN1 1AH United Kingdom +44 1273 32 3501 http://www.browns-restaurant.com |
Browns has been a favourite local restaurant for well over ten years - its eclectic well-presented food and relaxed atmosphere continues to pull in the crowds. The decor at Browns creates a fresh and exclusive feel. Light wooden floors and pale walls are separated by a generous interjection of palm trees that takes its diners back to the colonial era. One thing about Browns is that you can always rely on the menu to include some good staple pasta, salad and meat-dishes. Prices for main courses tend to hover around the £10 level, but servings are generous, often making a starter superfluous. Service is attentive and friendly, although some of the waiters can get a little stressed during the busy periods. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Glorious fish |
29-31, East Street (The Lanes) Brighton, East Sussex BN1 1HL United Kingdom +44 1273 32 7980 http://www.englishs.co.uk |
Set at the edge of a quaint square in The Lanes, this could well be a contender for the best Brighton restaurant. If a full blown gourmet meal is not your preferred choice, the small but stylish oyster bar, annexed to the restaurant, has space at the counter for about six diners. The menu is rather traditional with Dover sole, Grilled Tuna and lobster high on the list. The quality is excellent and the service attentive, making the whole dining experience a real joy.

Traditional Watering Hole |
3 Stirling Place Brighton BN3 3YU United Kingdom +44 1273 73 3134 |
The Forager is one of the Brighton's oldest watering holes and also one of its most popular. An extremely clean and hygienic bar, the ambiance at Forager is inviting and since the products are locally sourced, the food is extremely fresh. Unlike most British pubs, it caters pretty well to vegetarian customers as they have a decent choice to choose from. For those who love meat, be sure to try out the beef here. Forager has acoustic instruments, slot machines and music as well, though which is barely audible with all buzzing conversations around. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Fine English fare for all |
41 Church Road Hove Brighton, East Sussex BN3 2BE United Kingdom +44 1273 72 7410 |
Harry's serves traditional English food with a special touch. Once past the attractive blue tiled exterior, one finds light wooden furniture, pale green walls and a huge array of mirrors, some of which are for sale. Staff are most welcoming and the atmosphere pleasant. Breakfasts are served until 4pm and if feeling greedy the "pile up" consists of two fried eggs, back bacon, pork and sage sausage, grilled tomatoes, beans, fried bread, hash browns, black pudding, mushrooms and toast with tea/filter coffee (£7.45). Lighter meals, main courses, house specialities (£7.95-£13.95) and desserts are all listed. There's a good choice of wines, beers, soft drinks and beverages. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Out of Africa |
32 Duke Street Brighton, East Sussex BN1 1AG United Kingdom +44 1273 77 3388 |
Stunningly stylish, Havana attracts a well dressed crowd of diners. Incredibly clean, cream decor with dark wood and beautifully set tables, this restaurant is not for those who want fast food. The front serves as a cafe bar during the day and a cocktail lounge at night. Breakfasts have recently been added to the menu and there are several lovingly prepared lunches on offer. An enticing cafe style menu is a little less pricey. Dinner is a bit more expensive, but worth it for great, contemporary cuisine in stunning surroundings. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Unfussy food |
14 East Street The Lanes Brighton, East Sussex BN1 1HP United Kingdom +44 1273 20 6554 |
Jacco's is a good family destination, offering unfussy British food as well as pasta and pizza. The restaurant is of medium size, clean and neat with wooden tables and chairs. An extremely varied menu offers English meals, as well as a selection of pizzas and pasta dishes that are rather generic tasting, as might be expected. "Specials" might include such dishes as Barbecue Spare Ribs, or an 8oz Sirloin Steak with herb potatoes and Bernaise Sauce. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Home cooked delights |
87 St James Street Kemp Town Brighton, East Sussex BN2 1TP United Kingdom +44 1273 62 4233 |
A popular Kemp Town restaurant, Jesters is attractive with large windows, a cosy interior and dark wooden furniture. To accompany your food, wines are around £8.95-£11.50 per bottle. Enticing appetisers such as baked avocado or deep fried brie bring a pleasant start to any meal. Mains are plentiful with several fish, meat and pasta dishes. Try pan fried local trout in a tomato and ginger sauce. To round off a perfect dining experience the mississippi mud or banoffee pie should not be missed at around £3. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Dine with a view |
26-28 Kings Road Arches Brighton, East Sussex BN1 2LN United Kingdom +44 1273 22 0222 |
This intimate little restaurant is located under one of the King's Road Arches right down on the seafront, next to the West Pier and brand new paddling pool and play area. They are open all day and evening serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food is beautifully presented and dishes such as Thai Crab Cakes with spaghetti mouli or Marrakesh Griddled Chicken with saffron rice taste as good as they sound. There is a children's menu, highchairs and a selection of organic babyfood in jars for those fussier eaters. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Famous for tea and scones |
1 High Street Brighton TN33 0AE United Kingdom +44 (0)1424 77 2314 http://www.thepilgrimsrestaura... |
This restaurant is located in the town of Battle, around 28 miles from Brighton. It is housed in a 15th Century edifice and it was used to house monks visiting the close by Battle Abbey, built by William the Conqueror to commemorate the Battle of Hastings. Lots of tourists hop in for its tea and scones. However, you can always have some meat and vegetable dishes, all made from fresh local produce. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A round of applause |
36 Montpelier Road Brighton, East Sussex BN1 3BA United Kingdom +44 1273 73 7624 http://www.promptcorner.com |
Prompt Corner has been serving fine food for over 50 years. Well known for serving local and visiting thespians, including Joan Collins and Joanna Lumley, the restaurant is situated in a basement building and operates a kind of one way system for entry and exit. Masks hanging in a window will direct one to the right location. All food is home-made and available in a menu made up of five "Acts". Local grilled rainbow trout is well worth a try. To end a perfect dining experience, indulge yourself with a luscious dessert. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Baked Wonders |
86/87 Western Road Brighton BN3 1JB United Kingdom +44 1273 221 444 http://www.real-eating.co.uk/h... |
The Real Eating Company is a very famous bakery in Britain and has an outlet in Hove as well. If you have kids, they will have a field day with the various cookies and candies here. They also have a separate 'children's menu' keeping in mind their appetites and palates. With an ambiance suitable for family dining, one can visit for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Opt for puddings or cakes with ice-cream, if you're in the mood for something sweet and creamy. For those who love cheese, try the British cheese plate with somerset apple brandy. 'Rib-eye steak, field mushroom, chips, watercress and béarnaise sauce' is a good choice for those who are really hungry. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Famous for fresh fish |
131 Kings Road Brighton, East Sussex BN1 2HH United Kingdom +44 1273 32 5014 http://www.theregencyrestauran... |
Situated across the road from the West Pier, The Regency is a busy place from morning until night and is a favourite haunt of all sorts of locals—celebrities included. The menu includes very good value meals served in pleasant, but basic, surroundings with or without a sea view. The menu is varied, but fish is the main food here. Main meals range from GBP6.95 to GBP16.95. The fish is simply cooked to preserve its natural flavour, and the service is quick! The seafood platters are especially good. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Best view in town |
106 Kings Road (by Metropole Hotel) Brighton, East Sussex BN1 2FU United Kingdom +44 1273 77 5775 |
Steamers draws a mixture of both residents and visitors to its New Orleans-look venue. It's not quite wild enough to rival some of the bars under the King's Road Arches, but the frequent performances of live bands and bright breezy atmosphere all add to its charm. The large terrace at the front of Steamers is the perfect vantage point on sunny days to watch the waves roll in, hip Brightonians meander by and enjoy a pint or two of cool crisp beer. The food is a bit hit and miss: if burgers and chips, generous sandwiches, and scampi are dishes akin to paradise for you. Review © 2007, Wcities |
