But never…read morefear because Smorl's now have their very own salad bar located at Unit 30, The Open Market, Marshalls Row, Brighton, BN1 4JU, which is open 7 days a week! In my very humble opinion Smorl's make the very best falafel in Brighton & Hove. The falafel are freshly cooked, delicious, crispy chickpea balls of delight, dotted with zingy coriander seeds and other tasty herbs and spices. You can get them on their own, served in a pita bread with your choice of Houmous and other dips, or you can opt for the lunchbox, which is my recommendation. With the lunchbox you get falafel, bulgar wheat salad, slaw, salad leaves, houmous, tatziki, babaganoosh, tahini, toasted seeds', Parmesan polenta balls and other delicious dips. It is absolutely delicious - so much so that I've been back for lunch every week since I discovered Smorl's. That's how good they are. Highly recommended.

The extra thing turned out to be my favourite although I didn't fancy peas. Every bite was so tasty and different from each other. You can tell they use good ingredients.

There are…read morea lot of junk food vegan options in Brighton (which I was trying to avoid) so finding a place that does fresh, canteen style plates was a savior. The staff behind the counter helped explain the meal sets and quickly dished out each of my selections. I got a curry with steamed veggies and orzo on the side. So delicious! The space itself is low key--no pretension and a good amount of seating when I was there around noon on a Friday. I'll definitely be back my next visit to Brighton.

I love the vegetarian scene in Brighton and this place is definitely a way to get tasty and healthy food. The vegan lasagna was really good, a very strong tomato and cheese flavor and soft cooked pasta. The carrot and sweet potato purée wasn't as sweet as I thought. The chickpea Greek salad was fine. I really loved the seed topping, I thought that it would've been better on another savory side but it was a nice crunch.

They had about 10 salads to choose from, most of which were vegan, and a bunch of mains, two of which were vegan. For the main, I got a decadent butter bean dish that was wonderfully flavoured, albeit quite oily. The salads were all quite intensely flavoured too, with a broccoli salad that had a nicely horseradish-dominant dressing, a tomato and bell pepper salad that was nicely dressed, and roasted sweet potatoes. Very filling and good value. I was really happy with the food. I capped off the meal with an American (£2.40), which was definitely above average for UK -- seems like the place is run by Italians, so that might be it. Super friendly and helpful staff who kindly pointed out everything that was vegan. All in all, highly recommended spot near the centre and beach.

Fresh, fast and tasty! This quiet and cosy restaurant had super lovely staff, and the food was just fantastic. Great little spot for lunch on North Street.

The lady that owns the business and who is responsible for making all of the food is extremely talented, friendly and down to earth. The food is exceptional, I've eaten here several times and its always consistently good too. What I also love is that even though its raw/clean eating food which is supposed to be the latest trend at the moment, where most places are cashing in, Eat Naked keep their prices reasonable. Its not a fad for them they really do live and breath it as a lifestyle. Their ethos is healthy should be affordable and not boring! They change their menu daily which is to be admired and you can see the menu online on their instagram account. Their clean treats are what dreams are made of. I regularly crave and dream about their snickers bar when I'm in London and count down the days until I can come here again to get one when I'm in Brighton. ITS THAT GOOD! They also do juice cleanses that you can pick up or I believe they can post out too. I can't say one negative thing about this place, its quite small so maybe more of a takeaway place but they still have some seating inside if you want to chill and have a coffee. I've currently sprained my ankle and can't walk, but I just can't go a day without some Eat Naked goodness so I've managed to track down a courier to collect it and bring it to me in my flat. That's how much I love this place! All I need now is for them to clone the store and drop it in London please so that I can visit every day!

M&S Simply Food at Brighton Station is one of the few shops inside the station concourse, it is…read moreprobably one of the better places in the station to grab some to-go food and drinks ahead of a train journey, with rivals Superdrug and WHSmith barely having a food selection, and PRET being the only other place which sells food, but even then they sell a limited menu compared to other stores. This is pretty different from other M&S Simply Food stores as it is a travel store, they specialise in to go food and drinks at really high prices, as I recall a meal deal cost around £5 which is £1.50 more than a regular store, an increase of around 42.8%. I understand travel stores can cost more because of the location, but this seems to just take it a little step further, knowing there is little competition elsewhere in the station and it is from the Marks and Spencer brand, which has a reputation for being towards the higher-end scale for food anyway. The gluten-free selection was awful, they didn't have any wraps or pasta pots which stores usually have, they had two varieties of sandwiches, even then this is quite poor for a Marks and Spencer store, who have much more to choose from. I personally have a strong hate for seeded bread, which is why it frustrates me to see so many places only offering gluten-free sandwiches on seeded bread, and this location is sadly no different. A useful store, but they really do need to work on making pricing much more reasonable and stock of gluten-free items, which Marks and Spencer are usually pretty good here, so this branch is pretty rare in that sense. 2*

Well, if your train pulls in at Brighton Station you can pick up a roasted chicken, mashed potato and asparagus from the M&S Simply Food. They're open til 11pm every day except Sunday and also sell staples like bread, milk, yoghurt, fruit and juice. Of course, Marks and Spencer is always slightly more expensive than other grocery stores but the food is usually of such good quality it makes up for the extra pennies. If you're super-tired, you can also pick up muffins and coffee for breakfast the next day!

In the spirit of their parent company, Infinity Cafe make it their mission to serve food that is both healthy and tasty and they succeed! This is one of my favourite places to sit with a coffee on a sunny day. They have seating outside as well as a built in bar that looks out on to the street. Weather permitting, the front of the cafe will be entirely opened up, creating a very European feeling street cafe vibe. The salads are yummy, cous cous, med veg, greek...all SO good. I can also recommend the cakes, especially the carrot cake...its really tasty and you know it can't be too gluttonous, if Infinity made it!

When I started working in London I finally had a chance to try Leon. Billed as "naturally fast…read morefood" I was still shocked to find how much of their menu is gluten free. Including the desserts. I loved it so much that I excitedly tweeted to them that I would singlehandedly keep a restaurant open in Brighton. And they replied to me telling me to wait. Well... the wait is over! Today I was invited to the opening of the new Leon Restaurant in Brighton which replaces Eat. I think this is a brilliant swap as Eat was far too similar to its neighbour Pret. But Leon is quite different in that it offers warm, hearty food. Setting up just before winter is also probably a good move. The decor is really nice and chilled out. They make good use of the space which I've previously found a bit dark and claustrophobic. Katy and I were greeted by some of the nice workers at Leon and told we could each choose a meal and drink to have on the house. We both went for the Moroccan Meatballs (on my recommendation). I had a lemonade to drink and Katy went for a green smoothie. We also picked up a few sweet treats: my favourite lemon and ginger slice and a billionaire shortbread for Katy. The meatballs are my favourite so I knew I would like them, but Katy had never been to a Leon and she loved it as well. She began talking about how close it is to her work and how she will be able to pop in on breaks for a relatively healthy and warm meal. We also tried searching for the menu online and a sneaky link to Deliveroo popped up. So we're hoping they're going to be one of our delivery options soon.
