Knoops
Chain of hot chocolate shops where you choose your percentage darkness of chocolate and they make you one. Pretty good! Advise going darker, and adding salt!

Tutto
The fourth restaurant from the Salt Room team, an Italian small plate situation. Really enjoyed it. Cracking service, really beautiful food and cocktails. Incredible fried vegetables in particular but mushroom risotto also a highlight. Points against would be you do pay for it, not dramatically but noticeably. Also I think it’s only worth sitting at the counter, as the other tables I feel are too packed in for what they’re charging (a sin committed by sister resto the Coal Shed). But definitely a top Brighton resto straight away.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 20-22 Marlborough Place
China Garden
Classic big space, white tablecloth Chinese where you can have as many people as you like. Some of the best service ever, easily – friendly and helpful – and really enjoyed the food.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 88 Preston Street
Kusikuy
A highly rated Peruvian place, lower ground floor on Marine Parade. And well worth going to. First, brilliant and fun service, there is one particularly zesty Peruvian waiter but they’re all lovely. Great sharing plates and ceviche, and pisco sours delicious. Nice place physically too, covered in photos.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 16 Marine Parade
The Poets Ale & Smokehouse
Weird food. I had a bowl of bready pretzels with like cheese and guacamole with salsa and sour cream, we also had the weirdest jalapeno poppers ever – huge bready things. They have a BBQ situation and the pulled pork was pretty tasty, but generally, terrible kitchen.
Verdict: Don’t go
Location: 33 Montgomery Street
The Copper Clam
A cute little spot right on the water (as much as you get in Brighton), and a really interesting seafood menu. Steak pretty good too but the creative starters a real highlight.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: Kings Road Arches, 143-44
Green Dragon
One of the North Laine pubs built into a shopping street, but surprisingly spacious and a very pleasant vibe. They serve Pieminister pies with mash and gravy. Pieminister do a good pie, but my chicken/ham/leek was overdone (I presumed heated in the oven), but was ok with the gravy. However: pie, mash, gravy and a pie for £10, so insane value. Points for value, not so much for selection.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 8-9 Sydney Street
Indiana
Really amazing Indian, top service, great food (including really beautifully done naan). Delighted to have found it.
