    Unpretentious, excellent food, friendly and great value. One of my favourite restaurants in Brighton.

    Their Kefdedakia and Kleftiko were the highlights; the succulent lamb slipped gracefully off its shoulder at the touch of a knife.

    Really really tastey this place... I went in not knowing if I wanted a drink or a snack or a full…read moreblown lunch, and the friendly gentlemen stepped in with a smile and an earnest tone of passion to guide me through the options open to me. For just £1.80 I picked up a freshly made that day ball of fluffy rice cooked in breadcrumbs with a mozzarella and spinach centre that was about the size of both my fists together (without thumbs). Bringing it over to me, he offered a knife and fork, but said he personally like to "snatch it up in a napkin", With my cutlery poised, I suddenly deviated and went down the napkin route, which proved an incredibly satisfying, clean and spillage free way of munching through my meal... Random details aside, there was a host of food on offer here, which I fully intend to explore further down the line, with iconic Mediterranean dishes like lasagne sitting alongside equally intriguing unknown delights. Its a little small inside, so I was pleased to get a seat out of the cold. But for something to bring home with you, or for a sit down and nibble outside, this place is unparalleled.

    I pass this tiny Sicilian deli everyday and after much admiring, I finally decided to try it out…read more With the likes of 'Poppy's' and 'Pause' nearby, Mediterrane faces tough competition in what is a small area. Having tasted the food though, this is perhaps the best of the local lunchtime eateries. The menu is based on traditional Sicilian dishes, and delivers superbly on the famous Italian brand. You'll also find that it's a lot cheaper than other deli's, certainly those further in to town. My baguette came in at £2.90, very reasonable. Space is a bit limited, but there is seating inside and out (weather permitting). Perhaps the strongest reason for going here would be the delightfully friendly owner, I can't explain just how sweet he was.

    TLDR; I loved this place and dream about the signature beef Wellington…read more This place was omg mouthwatering. We stumbled into this place after a day of wandering around at the royal pavilion. It was not yet 5pm on a Wednesday evening. The guy at the bar asked if we had reservations, which we did not but they did have space to accommodate us. Now you may be wondering about the food. I can confidently say that this beef Wellington was one of the best I've ever had in my life. It takes 30 min for them to make it but it's well worth the wait. I've been to Gordon Ramsay's in Vegas. I've dined in Michelin restaurants. This was better. The filet was melt in your mouth perfect medium rare with a great wine sauce. The puff pastry and mushroom layers complimented it so well and if you can see that technique, no air bubbles between the meat and the pastry. Service was good. I'd come here again just for the beef Wellington.

    Lovely setting outside under some trees. Perfect for a lazy sunny lunch…read more Food was ok. Nothing stand out unfortunately. We had the fish and chips and steak, king prawn and squid dishes. The fish and chips were average at best. The triple cooked chips were hit and miss, some perfect and others hard in the center like day old roast potatoes. The fish was slightly overcooked and the batter was ok, below average from other fish and chips we've had. The steak was cooked as ordered but again pretty average tasting, the prawns were not the freshest and the squid was delicious. Doubt we'll be back

    I have been a fan of steki's since i first tried it back in 2009! It is delightful!…read more It is not the most atmospheric restaurants however if you have been to Cyprus or Greece then it really does have a taverna feel to it but could do with a little updating! The food and service is great, you are always warmly welcomed and given a very fast and professional service! I usually go for the fish of the day for the main and it is lovely! As for starters i have tried almost everything on the menu and have no complaints whatsoever.. My only complaint about this restaurant is the lack of diversity in the main course section. I would love to see kleftico on the menu as this is my favorite cypriot/greek dish and now increasingly hard to find in Brighton with the closing of Estia!

    A short walk from the Hilton Metropole, we drunkenly staggered over here for dinner. Now, at first…read morewe were simply 6 writers/fans/readers/others heading into a restaurant, but then oddly we discovered that our other, more Canadian friends arrived, and all hell broke loose! The mad irishman started moving tables, booze was produced from under jackets, loud chattering, and even political talk, happened all over the table. And they took it in stride. The service was a bit slow, and the lamb was awfully tasty, though a bit bony considering. The Moussaka was especially delicious! The setting was nice, and though a little loud, the entire meal was a great time and the food filling and not too pricey for what you get.

    Santiago Restaurant - Hake Fillet

    Before coming to Brighton I had already decided that I wanted to eat seafood along the beach. My…read morefriends and I originally planned to go to Riddle & Finns, but before we actually got there Santiago, which is literally right next door, caught our attention - it looked really busy (which we interpreted as a good thing), and the food looked exactly like the stuff we had in mind. So we ended up here on a whim (kind of) but I'm so glad we did. For lunch I got the hake fillet with clams, new potatoes, and green beans - the most popular dish of the day, according to our waitress - and I loved it! It was my first time trying hake and let me just say that Santiago left a great first impression. The fish was cooked perfectly - I especially appreciated how they didn't put too much sauce which I find is unfortunately pretty common. The clams were wonderful too - normally I'm not a fan of clams, but for some these ones were so good I think I might give them another try in the future. I liked the potatoes too, but the green beans were a bit too hard (undercooked?) for my liking. The minus one star is partially because I was a bit disappointed in the green beans, but also because the service in the beginning wasn't the best. We were left standing by the entrance for a really long time before being acknowledged. I think their system might be to only acknowledge you when there's a table ready? Not a fan of that, but not so much so as to stop me from coming here if I ever visit Brighton again.
