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.

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.

George Street Tap
A lovely large space (although you have to watch noise levels from the tellies towards the back) with fantastic staff, and a really great offering of food at very reasonable prices.

Cafe Malbec
The sister to the excellent Latinoamerica next door, a brunch, wine and tapas bar. Really nicely fitted out cafe, and great empanadas, and lethally sweet dulce de leche cheesecake!

Iydea
Cool little place right in North Laine, vegetarian canteen – you choose a main, then two sides and two toppings. I had chickpea and leek fritters with chilis, with lime and thyme wedges and garlic cabbage, with aioli and hot sauce. Really good, real food.

No Catch
Vegan chippy, and I think pretty good. It’s bigger and nicer inside than it looks, and the food is presented beautifully. I wasn’t a massive fan of the smoked haddock, though I did like the texture, but I liked the jumbo lemon prawns. I’ll be back to try more.

Coco di Mama
I’ve seen this chain in London but never had it; turns out you get huge servings (just get a medium, seriously) of really tasty pasta, that delivers well.
