All things Brighton beautiful....

[Gareth]

Spring is sprung and thoughts turn once again to trips to the south coast. But it seems a couple of years since the last comprehensive Brighton round-up (under "Brighton Nosh").

Has the foodie scene changed since then ? What are your current recommendations ? Anywhere special or remarkable to eat out ?

Regards,

Gareth

Surely Andy's your man here

[Andy Lynes]

I am indeed. Give me an hour or two and I'll post something. Things are beginning to look up in Brighton, but its still all too easy to have a mediocre meal and to pay a little too much for it, which has happened a couple of times to me recently. That said, when the sun is out, Brighton is the nicest place to be on the South East coast of England.

Don't you mean Brighton is the nicest big town called Brighton when the sun's out?

[Andy Lynes]

Note that I did narrow it down to "South East Coast". The competition is not great I must admit.

Yes, I reread, and ate my words.

How are you?

[Andy Lynes]

I'm very well thank you, basking in the glorious South East Coast sunshine...well, looking at it through my window whilst I beaver away on eGullet.

The 3 places worth considering for a more serious meal are Hotel du vin (bit pricey but good food and buzz), Sevendials, and Quentins (I posted on this recently). I was also impressed with the vegetarian Terre a terre if there is a veggie you want to impress.

There are lower end places that are good: The Eagle Pub and bakery is 'normal pub' food rather than gastropub poncyness (not a jus in sight), Sanctuary cafe serves (mostly) veggie food and Billies does the ultimate hangover breakfast.

I'm sure I have missed loads but these are my faves.
