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.

Bayleaf


Modern Indian on the border
104 Western Road
Brighton, East Sussex BN1 2AA
United Kingdom
+44 1273 77 3804
The Bayleaf is a small restaurant seating approximately 30 people. The interior is extremely modern, no flock wallpaper here. Floors and furniture are wooden while walls are tasteful and bright. An informative and unusual menu gives explanations concerning the ingredients in each dish. Presentation is excellent with all portions arriving in small coloured bowls. Dahl and seasonal vegetables accompany every dish. A visit to the Bayleaf is certainly recommended; however, those who enjoy the traditional curry house may be disappointed. Early diners, before 7:30p (except Sa), can take advantage of the set menu.

Boardwalk


Eat on the beach
250a Kings Road Arches
(Lower Promenade)
Brighton, East Sussex BN1 1NB
United Kingdom
+44 1273 74 6067
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.

Dorset


Brighton institution
28 North Road
Brighton, East Sussex BN1 1YB
United Kingdom
+44 1273 60 5423
http://www.thedorset.co.uk
Wonderful food, beautifully presented, it's no wonder that this cafe always buzzes with life. It is very large and airy with a wide bar and a roomy restaurant area. It only takes a glimmer of sunshine and the chairs and tables go out on the pavement and are quickly filled. The menu has a strong leaning toward the French provincial, although this doesn't pervade all the dishes. The mussels are good and available in the marinieres, tuscan and thai styles. This place is perfect for a mid-shop-stop or a fun evening out.

English's


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.

Havana


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.

Lucy's Restaurant


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.

Regency Restaurant


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.

Terre a Terre


Fantastic meatless dishes
71 East Street
Brighton BN1 1HQ
United Kingdom
+44 (0)1273 72 9051
http://www.terreaterre.co.uk
This vegetarian restaurant has achieved national acclaim for its fine cuisine. Unlike many vegetarian restaurants, Terre a Terre presents dishes that are made with a light, sophisticated touch. The decor is chic and modern, but takes on an altogether more romantic tone with candles and dimmed lighting in the evening. The food is simply superb—it is beautifully presented, the Twice Baked Camembert Soufflé is divine. This is a deservedly popular restaurant. Be sure to book in advance.

Whytes


One of Brighton's finest
33 Western Street
Brighton, West Sussex BN1 2PG
United Kingdom
+44 1273 77 6618
http://www.whytesrestaurant.com
Whytes is very busy and extremely popular, despite its side-street location, making it a necessity to make your reservation well in advance. Modern British with a twist is probably the best way to describe the cuisine here. Well-known meats and fish get a lift from spicy, oriental sauces and each entree comes with alternative accompaniments such as cous cous. Everything is beautifully presented and the service is flawless. This truly is a hidden gem.
