Truly kitsch |
Kingsway Court First Avenue Brighton, East Sussex BN3 2LR United Kingdom +44 1273 32 3810 |
Hidden underneath a large block of flats in Hove, the Bali Brasserie can be difficult to locate. Once inside the building the first port of call is the Bali bar. The decor is quite bizarre as it clearly hasn't altered since the 1970s. The walls are lined with bamboo and plastic flowers and the bar is covered in tiny mirror tiles. Tacky is not the word. You are welcome to stop by for drinks but then you would be missing the food. The restaurant itself is large and more subtle. The staff are dressed in traditional costume to add an authentic feel. Food is exceptionally good and the menu varied. Review © 2007, Wcities |

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.
