Our favourite for fine flavours - British tapas menu based on local produce. Stunning flavours. It is recommended to take a bar seat by the kitchen, if available. A selection of meat, fish and vegetable dishes that have never disappointed. They do magical things with local produce. Advance booking (up to a week in advance) is a must.

The quintessential Brighton restaurant. Entirely unique and quite wonderful Indian home-cooked vegetarian food. The Dhai Bhel Puri is fantastic, the curries and dhals are all great - and you can ask for a half portion of two, to make up for a full portion. Advance booking recommended, as it is normally busy throughout the week (even though they will always do their best to squeeze you in). See also: Planet India in Hove.

Vibrant Indian food in the heart of the North Laine. Great place for families and groups, with atmosphere and spirit. The Chilli Pickle is one of those really solid options for lovely food, right in the centre, that can often fit you in at relatively short or immediate notice, thanks to being relatively spacious.

The ultimate quirky Brighton restaurant experience. Indescribable. There could be a mini-musical or sing-a-long screening, a musical performance, or simply the unique ambience. Good food (not fine dining as such, but solid) and lovely beverages like Belgian beers. Absolutely tiny, so it best to book.

Metrodeco have an amazing selection and range of teas of all kinds, from herbal tisanes through white and green teas to a great range of black teas, in a quirky and off-beam-glamorous setting in Kemptown village. There is also very good - and enormous - cake, on a daily range basis. Nice destination if you are going for a wander on a sunny day and want to stroll eastward. The interior is off-beat vintage mismatched glamour; very Brightonian.

Planet India in Hove is well worth a visit even if you've been to the Brighton 'mothership' - perhaps especially so, if you love (as we do) the uniquely Brightonian, warm and welcoming, quirky and strangely glamorous, super-friendly atmosphere and home-cooked Indian food served there.
Planet India in Hove has its own vibe, and comes with marble pillars, a glorious mix of raj and contemporary Indian fusion decor, disco cherubs in the ceiling, a bar that is promising to be a, if not the, new and uniquely hidden gem, and a *great* thali Tuesdays through to Thursdays that leaves no tastebud unexplored and is very good value. A la carte otherwise. All vegetarian. Yum!
