Agra Balti House


Central Brighton balti
60 Ship Street
The Lanes
Brighton, East Sussex BN1 1AE
United Kingdom
+44 1273 32 4494
The Agra has been established for more than six years and has space for over 50 diners. The decor is modern and clean; the ambience lively and informal. Booking is advisable, especially at weekends, as this is a very popular venue with Brighton curry eaters. The restaurant boasts a large variety of Balti dishes and caters very well to both meat eaters and vegetarians. The Prawn Kurma Balti is highly recommended with its delicious mild, sweet taste and good quantity of juicy prawns.

Al Duomo


A favourite for many years
7 Pavilion Buildings
Brighton, East Sussex BN1 1EE
United Kingdom
+40 7710 161 562
http://www.alduomo.co.uk
Residents and visitors to Brighton find Al Duomo and its partner restaurant, Al Forno delightful. Al Duomo is a cool contemporary Italian restaurant and venue with a brown,red, and cream colour scheme, lots of exposed brickwork and sleek leather sofas. Close to the Royal Pavilion, it may appear small from the outside but is actually five floors, with a variety of separate dining and drinking areas. The ground floor is a large open area with high ceilings and a pizza oven, while other floors can accommodate celebrations of up to 90 people. Food is good quality and not too expensive. Try pizza, pasta, fish, meat and salad dishes (£4.10-£9.30). An extensive wine list offers bottles from £9.25-£25.50.

Al Forno


Viva Italia
36 East Street
Brighton BN1 1HL
United Kingdom
+44 (0)1273 32 4905
http://www.alforno.co.uk/
Brighton's first pizzeria, Al Forno, opened in 1973. It is the sister restaurant of another local favourite, Al Duomo, and both are just as bustling and lively as you imagine restaurants in Italy to be. Al Forno has an authentic and rustic feel and being located just by a square in the Lanes, you could almost imagine you're dining out in Roma. And you know what to do when in Rome! The menu is pragmatically Italian, old-style rather than the modern Italian cuisine which has been springing up recently. Delicious pizzas are cooked in a pizza oven and the pastas rarely disappoint. Cheap enough to enjoy some of the dangerously delicious desserts, a bargain at under £3.

Brighton, East Sussex BN1 1NB

This restaurant is situated right on the beach next to The "Doughnut". It has a wonderful decked dining area outside—a perfect place to sip coffee to the sound of the waves washing over the pebbles. Open all day for drinks or food, The Boardwalk has a range of cocktails, shakes and alcoholic drinks. The menu is tempting, featuring Moules Marinieres and home made burgers along with organic meat dishes, salads and a good old English breakfast. The prices are reasonable and the location makes it hard to top.

Browns Restaurant & Bar


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.

Cactus Canteen

5 Brighton Square
Brighton BN1 1HD
United Kingdom

Cactus Canteen, located in the popular Lanes (The) area, has a real fun atmosphere for a meal out. The decor over the two floors and roof terrace reflects the Mexican theme with chilli posters, cowboys and cacti. Fresh ingredients are used in all dishes—and there are plenty to choose from. For a starter, try Santa Fe Skins consisting of crisp potato skins with a topping of your choice. Main courses include quesadillas, burritos, fajitas, chillies, beanburgers, steaks and ribs. Who could resist warm blueberry muffins with cold ice cream? For those with smaller stomachs there is a children's menu at only £3.50.

Casa Don Carlos

5 Union Street
Brighton BN1 1HA
United Kingdom
+44 (0)1273 32 7177
In a previous incarnation Casa Don Carlos was the Lorelei cafe. Owner Carlos has transformed the one time greasy spoon into a welcoming tapas house. Situated in the heart of the famous Lanes, this small Spanish restaurant is a very popular place. One may find a lively crowd dining, drinking and even partaking in a spot of flamenco dancing. Over 40 different tapas (£3-6)are offered, so your favourites are likely to be featured. The Tortilla Espanola, paella and serrano (traditional Spanish ham) are recommended. Wines range from £10.95-£19.95 a bottle.

This small trendy restaurant provides a variety of foods in a clean modern setting. A varied menu offers delicious breakfasts until noon.

Main courses have a chilli related theme and there's several different curries and stir fries.

Clarence Cafe


Corner cafe for coffee and cakes

Brighton, East Sussex BN1 1EB
United Kingdom
+44 1273 32 4844
This newly established cafe is placed centrally on Brighton's North Street. The atmosphere is relaxed and decor pleasant. Wooden floors, cream and green walls and tasteful paintings complement each other well. The menu is imaginative and most main courses cost around £5. The range of jacket potatoes is most appetising with fillings such as roast vegetables with hummus, prawns in lemon mayonnaise and hot mushrooms and cheddar. Sandwiches are equally delicious and can be served on ciabatta, foccacia or sliced granary bread. Selsey crab or goat's cheese make great fillings.

The Coach House is a cafe, bar and restaurant so feel free to stop by for a full meal or just a quick drink. The restaurant is very attractive with sunny, bright decor and lots of greenery. The bar and lovely outdoor courtyard area are also popular with the twenties/thirties crowd. Food is delicious.

El Porron serves delicious Spanish food to many lucky diners. It's pleasant inside with blue walls, big mirrors and brightly colored pictures. This is certainly not fast food but authentic Spanish cuisine using fresh ingredients. The choice is wide and prices are reasonable. It's recommended that one has two per person but feel free to try as many as required. Follow that with one of a selection of home-made desserts. To accompany the fine Spanish fare, are a selection of wines.

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.

In total contrast to the lively Fitz's bar downstairs, this restaurant is relaxed and sedate with top London chef, Leighton Jones, creating a predominantly fish menu using only the finest and freshest of locally caught ingredients. Main courses start at reasonable rates and the piece de resistance is the Seafood Platter for two includes a whole dressed lobster, crab claws and oysters amongst other fishy offerings.

Gar's has been serving fine Oriental cuisine for over 10 years. The fantastic smell emanating from this restaurant is enough to make anyone feel hungry. Once tempted inside, light yellow surroundings and Chinese lanterns transport the diner to a world of Eastern promise. Pay no more than £5 for an appetizer or share the special hors d'oeuvre mix including sesame prawns, chicken satay, capital spare ribs and rich squid in salt and chili. Only £12, this starter could be a meal in itself. Why not opt for a three course menu, a great value at £15.50 per head? For those with gigantic appetites the Emperor's menu should suffice!

Centrally located, Ghengis Khan's offers a fantastic buffet menu to suit all tastes. Although the barbeque style restaurant is large, it is probably advisable to book before venturing here (and do make sure you haven't eaten before leaving home). The main attraction is the buffet meal. Select from a range of seafood, pasta, meat and fresh vegetables. Add any herbs, spices and sauce then take your choice to the barbeque where an able chef will cook it.To end the meal (if you can manage a dessert) marinated cherries accompanied by warm rich chocolate for dipping is sheer bliss for any chocoholic.

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.

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.

Egon Ronay recommended, the Mock Turtle is well known by many Brightonians for it's wonderful cakes.

All made on the premises with fresh ingredients, it's difficult to know which to choose. Lemon meringue pie is made from fresh local eggs while hazel, banana and orange cake contains many organic ingredients. Dieters beware, there's far too much temptation here.

Southern soul food is what Momma serves up, a kind of cuisine relatively new to Brightonites. Or maybe it is the TLC working?

It is also possible to obtain some of the popular vegetarian side dishes, such as Sag Aloo, Aloo Gobi and Chana Bhajee, as full main courses if required. Food is of excellent quality and very fresh. Frozen vegetables are not used at Noori's and real chillies, rather than chilli powder, appear in the hotter curries. Although slightly more expensive than other restaurants Noori's is well worth a visit.

A firm favourite across the whole country, Pizza Express always satisfies and rarely disappoints. If the comfort of a nationwide chain, but with plenty of individuality is for you, look no further. The decor is sleek and chic, with clean modern lines throughout. Despite dark flooring; the strategic lighting and bright touches gives the interior a warm, but elegant feel. In some branches (Hove), the pizzas are prepared and cooked in an open plan kitchen so you can see what is going on. As far as clientele goes, it attracts just about everyone but seems particularly popular with the younger generation. My personal favourite is the American Hot, fabulous succulent pepperoni, with a beautifully crisp base. Add a drizzle of their spicy oils and hey presto! Of course, the selection of Italian and French wines will help to put out the heat. The branch at Church Road, Hove, has jazz music sessions at 7:30p every Tuesday.

Set near Brighton Pier, the Prodigal attracts a mixed crowd, although the older generation is far outnumbered by the young Brightonian student and professional gang. Gone are the traditional British pub features such as dull multi-coloured carpets and dark wood-paneled walls have been replaced by light wooden floors and light features. A further bonus is that decent wines are available alongside the selection of popular draft beers. A glass of wine is about GBP3, but then the measures are rather generous. The menu is more restaurant than bar snacks, and offers a great brunch on weekends. What better way to round up the week?

Brighton, East Sussex BN1 1HP
United Kingdom
+44 1273 20 2591
Time Out is great for whatever time of the day - English breakfasts are a specialty though - and very close to the seafront. Bright orange walls and blue seats help create a warm atmosphere. The cafe seats about 30 people. The menu begins with all day breakfasts at GBP4.80 for a mighty plate of fried egg, bacon, sausages, black pudding, beans, tomatoes and toast. For a celebratory morning start why not try smoked salmon and scrambled eggs for GBP4.95 or even a luxurious champagne breakfast at GBP30. Salads, sandwiches, pasta and pizzas are also available. An evening menu from 6pm features a three course set meal (GBP7.95).

Wok Wok


Minimalist Asian restaurant
34 Duke St
The Lanes
Brighton, East Sussex BN1 1AG
United Kingdom
+44 1273 326823
Modern canteen Wok Wok is fairly new in Brighton, providing a vast range of Asian cuisines. Branches in London are already proving a huge success. Stylish but minimalist decor gives a modern look. Open kitchens are the focal point of the restaurant which boasts healthy meals, due to wok style cooking. Order either Thai, Chinese, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Japanese or Malaysian cuisine for an authentic meal - the pad thai and rare beef salad are recommended. Most main meals won't cost more than £8 per person and there's plenty to choose from. They also provide a children's menu with activity book and free face painting on a Sunday lunchtime.

Formerly an upmarket fish and chip restaurant, Zafferelli's now offers a large range of pizza and pasta dishes to suit all tastes. Light, bright and modern, redecoration has taken place in recent months. A varied menu lists starters, pasta, pizzas, risotto, meat, fish and veal specialities. Be sure to book at weekends - since it is right in the town centre this is a well frequented eatery.

blind lemon alley


Live blues
41 Middle Street
Brighton BN1 1AL
United Kingdom
+44 (0)1273 20 5151
http://www.bluescompany.co.uk/...
Hidden in an alley, in the Lanes area, this tiny restaurant has been serving fine American-style food for over 10 years. There is an almost rustic feel to blind lemon alley, and its cosiness is appealing. Try and catch the live blues music on Sunday evenings if you can. Starters begin at £3.95 and main courses such as home-made chillies, burgers and salads are all around the £6 mark. Specials include catfish and crab fishcakes with peach salsa dip. Be sure to sample blind lemon's world famous home made banoffee pie—delicious!
