Tiny reviews of Brighton food and drink
Apparently the Flour Pot’s latest store, with a bunch of fairly pricey artisan bread, pastries and sandwiches. And it’s just as great, but the place itself has very little room to sit, and what it has isn’t particularly comfortable. If you can grab one of the outside tables you’re ok, but otherwise take your deliciousness elsewhere.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 141 Dyke Road
Bakery in Hove, nice street seating and comfy chairs inside. Had a bacon roll and avocado and feta toast, all really top notch!
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 1 The Drive
Pub tending to a restaurant in Seven Dials. Relaxed feeling, lots of nice tables. But wow, food. Ham hock, burger, hake, squid, all amazing for really not very much money. Nice place for just a pint too.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 95-97 Dyke Road
Classic “caff” type place with huge menu of sandwiches, breakfasts, burgers etc. Basic but pleasant inside and a nice location for sitting outside in the sun; good food at good prices.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 11-13 Montefiore Road
Just a fantastic ice cream place. Really nice guy behind the counter, all home made ice cream with super great flavours. Could really taste the peanuts in the peanut butter and the chocolate: wow. Highly recommended for a sunny day.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: Unit 25, Open Market (Level side)
Popped in here during Pride and it is HUGE! Really relaxed vibe for a pint or a pizza – didn’t have the latter but they looked and smelled amazing so will be back for one for sure. Great music and funky interior, spinning all vinyl, all the time.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 18A Bond Street
Debated whether to include this but it’s a part of our Brighton experience so I think it counts. Semi-rural restaurant with a lovely beer garden and a short drive from Brighton – we were drinking outside in the sun at half five easy. And the restaurant is small and quite charming, that great sort of place where everyone is lovely but the food is storming. Amazing rib croquettes with chipotle mayo, potato and truffle soup, crispy lamb shoulder, chicken pie or beef fillet with duck fat chips – all amazing and actually very well priced.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: Muddleswood Road, Hassocks
Pizza delivery outfit that has really committed to an amusing “ME” based menu structure. Eg “Where’sMEspecks” and personal favourite “ButterMEnuts”. Worth a look for this alone. Pizza-wise it was pretty ok. Two tasty pizzas, delivered in an hour. Thought the MeatME was really pretty stingy with the meat, which prevents it being awesome.
Verdict: Ok
Location: 8 Elm Grove
We had delivery which was super fast, and very good value. Tasty too, with the one proviso that everything was spicier than expected – even green curry!
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 72 Dyke Road
Classic excellent Chinese restaurant – not much to speak of re decor, but comfortable, with an enormous tasty menu at bargain prices. Peking duck especially good.
Verdict: Awesome
Location: 33-35 Preston Street
