Seafood spaghetti... yum!
Hillary S.

First time visiting this place and I'm glad we did! Came here during a day trip to Brighton after reading some great reviews online. It was a Saturday at the beginning of summer, so the place was super busy but we had made a reservation and were quickly seated. We started with an appetizer of fresh oysters. They were delicious and briny. After that we all ordered different dishes including the seafood spaghetti and the extravagant shellfish platter. Everyone really enjoyed their food and it was fun sharing. The waitstaff was excellent and was some of the best I encountered in a casual restaurant in England. They were friendly, professional and quick as they could be despite the Regency being so crowded. I would say this place is a must visit for anyone going to the shore!

Eh the foods just ok. That's what most of us think. We didn't even finish most of the food. I've had much better fish n chips place. This place is overrated.

Sharing Platter

Not that many vegetarian items on the menu besides a few fruit or veg starters, salads (green and greek) and sides (mushy peas, fries, onion rings) and maybe a pasta dish. Good value and service. Note: If you like seafood (like my other dinner companions) then this restaurant might deserve a 3 or 4.

If your looking for a bite to eat on Brighton's Victorian seafront, that has a bit of history and class the regency restaurant is the place. Its a breath of fresh air in a sea of tacky shops and fried food outlets. Its a really traditional old style Brit restaurant with 'catch of day' boards and decor in keeping with its historic roots. The Regency has been serving food since the 1930s and has a place in the hearts of all Brighton fish lovers. the restaurant has on street seating which gives it a give of a continental feel, its a fab venue to soak up some rays. Its a great place to take visitors from abroad to give them a real taste of Britain.

1/2 dozen oysters

excellent food, nice location, friendly service, reasonable prices ... a real recommendation! (there's a reason why it's the best visited restaurant in that area!

Tasty Scallops with Chillis

I was hoping for better, why places like this take custom for granted? Fish full of bones, with skin left on, disappointing.

Seafood risotto

Nice food loved it so much but service... not so good...so rude!!! been ignored for 5 minutes by entering the restaurant and the long time for ordered the food and paid... just too busy and not enough staff maybe

Deep fried seafood platter

I came here after reading a recommendation somewhere, and I honestly regret it. After being seated, I was ignored for about 15 minutes before someone asked if I'd ordered yet, when I hadn't even been given any water... I ordered the deep fried seafood platter, which came out very quickly. But it was bland, unsalted...had a ridiculous amount of fried sardines (which I don't recall being listed on the menu?) and ONE fried prawn. It honestly just all felt like a joke. £12 all for a pretty mediocre meal really.

See all

You can't walk more than a few feet in Brighton without seeing a seafood restaurant. And in our…read morecase this was the second choice as the first restaurant we wanted was fully booked, but honestly, I don't mind and I am glad the first place was book as this restaurant was excellent. The layout is a bit dated but don't let that fool you, with a view of the beach across the street this is a lovely place to have dinner. My girlfriend and I both had grilled fish options. I went with the Salmon and she had the Sea Bass. Both were delicious, although hers was looking up at her with sad dead eyes. We also had some shrimp as an appetizer that was excellent. The only reason I'm giving them 4 stars instead of 5 is that we went in August of 2020 (the era of COVID) and the waitress and others working at the restaurant were not properly wearing masks. The waitress had one on, that she would pull down when talking to us so as to be heard better. Making the mask pointless

Well you have to say this is a bizarre little place. Its a step back in time for sure...look a the…read morephotos...but... ...the staff are great, the service is great, the food is superb and apparently the Irish coffee was also really good...don't go there for the house wine though but its OK So why go, the food yes but the prices....its absolutely amazing...2 good sized lemon sole off the bone with potatoes were the same price as I can buy just 1 in the market, but of course its cooked too. We had a little bottle of fizz each, while we were waiting, 200cl like you used to get on airplanes...drinkable, fun experience..£5 each....seriously there is nothing not to like! And nearly everyone in there was a regular or returned every year when on holiday...everyone seemed to know everyone..and you will understand why they comeback...we will Great (unusual) place, run I think by Greek Cypriots...a lot of Greek stuff on the menu too Check it out!
