​One of the tastiest veggie restaurants I've been to. Now twice! Started with Freshly baked fabulous salty herb focaccia served with virgin olive oil and balsamic and crispy fried lavash bread heaped with dreamy dukka dust. Ding Dong Merry Salsify - what? Well these are fabulous fritter sticks crammed with lemony soft chevre, sage and chive, salt roast salsify and black sticky rice, rolled in sea seasoning sprinkle and toasted black sesame, served with delicious white onion cream soubise sauce, layered with fennel and chive emerald oil, hazel and broccoli confetti, salsify birch root logs, finished with confit onion, baked orange sherry beets, celery salt and dill dust. My partner had Aubergine Genie which is a steeped, skewered and seared ume miso sweet ginger tahini aubergine and smoked tofu char, with toasted seed oil, black sesame salts and amchur hibiscus salt, served with edamame, wasabi yuzu pesto and mizuna snow pea and kohl salad. For main, we had Sneaky Peeking Steamers, which are steamed rice buns stuffed with Szechuan marinated halloumi and ginger bok choy, with kimchi Chinese cabbage, lapsang souchong pickled watermelon & cucumber, a miso chilli sauce and spring onion garnish. My partner had Rosti Revisited, crispy fried potato, onion and garlic rosti, topped with sautéed buttered spinach, finished with cream, garlic, parsley and nutmeg, topped with a soft poached egg and toasted mustard rarebit topping.​ read more

I came here for my birthday dinner and it is the perfect place for a vegetarian who wants a fancy meal. A high end vegetarian restaurant is hard to come by but this fits the bill. My only complaint is it is a bit pricey. Make a reservation for this place for sure. read more

Whilst I have always like veg, I have normally always had meat as well. I would commit to being a veggie. However, since visiting here with a friend for a hesitant lunch, I am now unsura. The food was absolutely scrummy and sooooooo well presented. I shall be returning with my wife on THE Wine tasting weekend soon!! read more

Terre A Terre - Vegetarian Near Me - Brighton, BNH

Now I'm not a veggie let's just get that out of the way straight away but MY GOD! This food was fantastic! Previously vegetarian restaurants have always left me wanting more taste, but the food at Terre A Terre is so incredibly delicious and tasteful I was not left wanting for anything! The service was fabulous, the place is vivaciously decorated and the atmosphere was great. From the street it looks modest, but head back into the main room and you feel you're in a sumptuous and exciting restaurant. The menu is a little pricey but if you want to enjoy it and not worry about the cost try the Terre a Tapas - a platter for 2 filled with tastiness beyond!! You might just have room for one of their delicious puddings then!! If you're in Brighton - treat yourself!!! You will need to book unless you're lucky! Just thinking about it makes me want to book my table!!! read more

Don't let the vegetarian tag put you off. If you enjoy food then you'll be blown away by this place. Went for a Birthday lunch here last October and had the taster menu. I thought the portions small to begin with yet whilst sampling I was surprised to find myself FULL! Great wines. Certainly a place to go. read more

I should probably bore everyone by making it clear from the outset that I'm not a vegetarian, or a vegan, or anything that resembles one. Buuuuuuuuuut Terre-à-Terre is one of the, no, THE, best vegetarian restaurant in the UK bar none. Any other candidates? I'd like to know about them. It's possible, just possible, that it has become a tad jaded. The core concept is still there, after more than a decade: funny, witty puns and silly alliteration in the titles of the dishes (Drunken Dunkerton, Better Batter, Lemony Yemeni, Cranberry Kraut, you get the picture), incredibly long and involved, almost Byzantine descriptions, an excessive dependence on four or five central ingredients (avocado, potato, cream, and various green shooty things), and a slight lack of focus (very Brighton, this) on whether this is a serious, ambitious establishment or actually just a random restaurant. The fact is, it's great value for money (£160+ for four people the other day, including cava, wine AND desserts for all, are you serious??! In London this is the cost of the cocktails alone - OK, almost) and you get filled to the rafters with delicious, hugely colourful, lively food that's creative, fun and festive. Richly recommended. Vegetarian or not. read more

I know not strictly London, but let's be honest Brighton is essentially London On Sea isn't it?! There's not a lot I can add to the clamouring crowd of (well-deserved) gushing praise here. Suffice to say this is possibly one of the best restaurants i have been to. Let alone vegetarian restaurant. Which ordinarily, as a committed carnivore, i would feel somehow cheated by going to ;-) The service was impeccable, the food incredible; a rhapsody of flavours and beauitifully presented; and for a VERY reasonable price I felt. It's summer, so there's no better time to visit. With only an hour or so journey, fares super cheap: i found a day return for less than £10 on trainline, and the beach on your doorstep, you have absolutely no excuses!! read more

We had recently been told, by a friend of ours who happens to be a vegetarian chef, that this place serves the 'best vegetarian food they had ever tasted'. We totally endorse that view! read more

My favourite restaurant ever - if you're a veggie/vegan, you'll think you've died and gone to gastronomic heaven. Knocks all those rubbish veggie lasagnas you get for vegetarian options elsewhere into a cocked hat, then throws that cocked hat off Brighton pier. It's pricey, but oh so worth it. I hope they keep the Better Batter on the menu as long as I draw breath - in fact, I want that to be my last meal. The only drawback is that the names they give their delicious concoctions are a bit daft, but then that just adds to the uniqueness, I suppose. read more

Sitting down and reading the menu at Terre a Terre can feel overwhelming. The descriptions of the meals here could use a good, aggressive editing. It's an assault of foodie vocabulary and it can be difficult to discern the main ingredients from the accessory ones. Unfortunately, in some ways, the dishes themselves are equally cluttered. I enjoyed a delicious soup starter, that was probably the simplest dish on the entire menu. My main course, which was a multi-component latke with various sauces, creams, salads and slaws alongside it, was unquestionably delicious, but a bit of an assault on my tastebuds (in a not entirely perfect way). And my husband's starter of corn-cake fritters with various salsas and guacamoles was equally complicated. Some people really love these complex, hundred-ingredient dishes, but in this case, I think it was really a step too far, and a bit off the mark. I would have been happier with a somewhat simpler take on gourmet vegetarian, although my meal was delicious. And the chefs gets many brownie points for inventiveness and creativity. The restaurant is surprisingly large, and was very noisy the night we went. While this gave it a really vibrant vibe, it's not exactly a romantic or quiet place for dinner. A great dining experience, if an imperfect one. read more

Ever heard the expression "style over content"? Somehow that seems the most fitting comment about this place. As two couples, we ordered one bottle of white and one bottle of red, some starters and a main each. The service really was top notch, so no complaints there. Very attentive and pleasant. However, to say the food was disappointing is to put a spin on the situation that Lord Mandelson would be proud of. The mains were so bland and tasteless that I was left completely underwhelmed. When the bill came, it was 130 quid for 4. I really felt almost insulted, given the fact that the food was poor to average at best. I honestly could have made a tastier main course at home in 10 minutes for under a fiver. My wife and I are well travelled and love good food. We are both also very keen cooks. I can only assume the people giving this place 5 stars simply don't know any better, had a vastly different experience to us or are somehow affiliated with the place. Forgive the meat-based pun, but this really is mutton parading as lamb. EDIT: In retrospect, I feel the need to reduce my rating to 1 star. I just hate the whole pretentiousness of places like this, which feel that they can demand ridiculous prices for what is essentially very basic food dressed up in silly language and charge 30 quid for a 4 pound bottle of wine. It really makes me angry. OK, rant over. read more

Another good veggie restaurant in the centre of Brighton, although I feel that this place promises far more than it delivers. The food is good, but not outstanding, there are far better veggie places to eat in Brighton; the place tends to be packed to the rafters with hoorays and others who love the sound of thier own voices; the service is often sneering and condescending; and its vastly over-priced. Three stars for the food, but only one or two for everything else - go elsewhere! read more

I dined here alone whilst on business on recommendation of a friend. The service was impeccable and the food was really well presented and very well cooked. My two issues were with the menu - Firstly, the choice wasn't huge and felt a little repetitive; for instance they used halloumi in three different main dishes. I think that they could add a little breadth to the menu. Secondly was the price. This place isn't cheap. I don't mind paying top whack for great food, but felt this was overall a smidge short of the price point. With a glass of wine, my bill was nearly £40 for 3 courses, which I felt was about 30% more than I'd be comfortable with. Overall, this might be a place you'd be happy going to once in a blue moon for a birthday or similar, but as a regular eatery its price and delivery don't quite match up. I'm just glad this went on expenses & not my own pocket! read more

The best meal I have eaten since being vegan, hands down. We could only book a table at 17.00, which was strange as by 19.00 the restaurant was still half empty but I've heard that it's always advisable to book ahead. Two of shared the vegan platter and it was the highlight of the meal. A reall ecclectiv mix of food but somehow it all worked together. Watch out for the soba noodle salad and corn chip in particular!! The waitress and waitor who served us were really knowledgable and made great reccomendations and the overall atmoshere was really relaxed. We paid £90 for a couple of cockails, a starter platter and two mains and it was worth worth the money. I was full for most of the evening! A really refreshing concept - if only there were more places like Terre A Terre! read more

Where to start with this place?! After eating out in so many of the fine (and not so fine) restaurants Brighton has to offer, this has to be top of the list. One of the most established restaurant in Brighton, Terre a Terre is a Observer Food Award winner for 'Best Vegetarian', and for good reason. The menu here blows any preconceptions of vegetarian cooking out of the water. The dishes fuse foods from around the globe - Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Greek and British to name a few, to make for a hugely impressive menu. The Tapas plate is a must if you can't decide what to order - it brings together a telling selection from the main menu on to one giant plate fit for two. My fave is the Better Batter and Lemony Yemini Relish - a creative and innovative take on traditional fish & chips involving battered haloumi (a veggie staple!) and is just one example of the extravagance Terre aTerre has to offer. All wines are organic and suitable for veggies (some are even vegan), and the knowledgeable staff are more than willing to help you choose a tipple to suit your dish. Terre a Terre is an experience in itself, and well worth a visit, even if your favourite food is usually steak! read more

One of THE best restaurants I have ever been to! Everything was incredible. The food was filled with such unique flavors, and so delicious. We started w/ the Terre à Tapas as a starter, and it was amazing! It would be worth it for me to fly from Los Angeles back to Brighton just to eat here again! I look forward to coming back here. I will definitely be spreading the word about this gem! read more

This place has a nice veggie menu, but no doubt they are pricey. As in 50% higher than what other places may charge for the same fare. If your interested in their raw menu, you have to call 24 hours in advance. I was bummed to find that out. Overall though, the food was amazing, smaller portions but well done with presentation and taste. read more

The Rosti Revisited has changed me forever. I no longer wish to eat anything else, but given that I don't live in Brighton I must tolerate other food until my next rendezvous with my favorite meal on earth. Hyperbole, this is not. Terre a terre makes masterful food. Everything about the restaurant is great - it has a beautiful warm glow in the evenings, the staff is very friendly, it's spacious enough and not too loud. Perfection, truly. read more

The food here is undoubtedly tasty and of good quality. However, it used to be a local restaurant offering great vegetarian food with huge portions at outstandingly reasonable prices. This was back in the mid to late 1990s. By about 1998 they had started putting the prices up, almost on a weekly basis. A good example of this is the soup and bread, which used to be an unbelievable £2.50. Now £6.70 - not too bad a price but a world away from the original. It seems as tho the more accolades they have received, the more they have pushed the prices up and pushed out their original clientele. Even the tapas used to be £9.95 - now £22.50. I realize inflation plays a part but more than double the price in a little over 10 years? come on! None of the mains now are below £14. Ridiculous for veggie fare IMO. Get over yourselves. A once cheap, high quality restaurant that is now barely affordable saddens me for all of the above reasons. :this quote from their website says it all, if you notice the implication: 'What began as a BYO with 30 covers, supported by friends, family and the local Brighton community/growers and very lovely staff, (thank you), has become one the most exciting and successful vegetarian restaurants in the UK. ' = as soon as they began getting praise in the mid to late 1990s they began jacking up the price hugely to increase profits. a policy which has continued to this day. but without the early years and core local supporters they would never have managed to establish themselves as a gourmet vegetarian restaurant in the first place... v bad IMO. as they priced these original customers out v rapidly with no concessions made - I was there read more

Awful! Over priced, over stylised, lacking in flavour. Horrid ideas, instead of just making food. Very very disappointing that, as a vegetarian, one of the worst veggie meals I've had in Brighton was at this supposed veggie star restaurant. It's all reputation, smoke and mirrors. I can't recommend you avoid it highly enough. read more

Come here during the off-peak daytime hours for some upscale peace and quiet, and some very nice tea. Nobody will look at you funny--indeed, I received absolutely excellent service when I found myself in Brighton on a day trip with friends, and desperately in need of a place where I could make a work Skype call. I wasn't hungry, so I ordered a bare minimum of comestibles: Pod poppers and a pot of rosehip & hibiscus tea. Granted, this was not enough to really know the quality of the food, but I was so impressed by the fact that the restaurant rolled out its red carpet to me even as a low-value customer that they have earned my eagerness to come back for a full meal. The only bad thing I have to say about Terre à Terre is that the pod poppers, while delicious, are only whole edamame pods with salt on them, and are not exceptional in any way except that they are the most expensive edamame pods I have ever purchased, at just under a fiver for a pile of beans, bountiful as the pile was. But here the service saves the day again--I was so busy on my work call that I didn't have time to make it through most of the edamame, so they very kindly offered to let me take them away in a soup cup. My friends were pretty jealous when I joined them again. They'll just have to come with me next time. Terre à Terre, we shall have another tête-à-tête soon. read more

Excellent restaurant. Great attentive service, amazing creative food, great location. Not too pricey. Wonderful place to get excited about how amazing food can be with out requiring meat. A kitchen to be admired. read more

Excellent food and very friendly staff. It's a bit pricey, but that's to be expected considering the location and quality of food and service. It's absolutely worth the splurge. The Tapas plate is excellent value as you get a taste of everything because it's so difficult to choose one! Everything is at the very least vegetarian and majority of dishes are vegan or have a vegan option. Each dish is presented so artfully - it's almost as enjoyable to gaze on it as it is to eat! Highly recommended for people with dietary preferences or people who want to explore the vast and creatively delicious plant-based cuisine! read more

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal for two! Knowing this was a bit of a pricey restaurant we decided to share a selection of tapas and then still had room for one desert to share - however we were hungry from exploring Brighton all day. The selection of tapas leads me to rave about the interesting and creative flavours - would recommend the corn cakes with avocado smash (very light and fresh tasting), and the baby batters (halloumi in a light batter with a mini bloody Mary). The desert we chose was chocolaty and good but not particularly unusual in flavour. The environment is wooden tables with red paper serviettes and is simple and uncluttered. It is a large restaurant that appears smaller than it is, due to the rooms having walls but no doors between them. Overall the food was very accomplished and made me enjoy vegetarian food without even thinking about it - vegan options were also plentiful. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys flavourful food - meat eating or not! read more

Second time visit. Maybe we are unlucky given the rave of reviews, but I find service horrible and frustrating. Very slow, three course took 75min! Don't confuse veggie food equals healthy. Majority of food is deep fried and so much oil and butter, it left us feeling so heavy until next day. If you want something different then worth a visit, but make sure you have a lot of time to chat and wait.... Patience is a must here. read more

If you are bored of steamed vegetables or roasted vegetables and need to inject some excitement into your five-a-day intake, then look no further. Their menu is extremely inventive with more variations of vegetable combinations than you can shake an aubergine at. It's great to have such variety with vegetables, it almost makes them exciting. It's not super cheap, but if you want some tasty greenery in your gob, go here or forever hold your peas. read more

One downside of traveling w/ veggie people is they expect you to go to vegetarian restaurants on occasion. This one did not disappoint, however. After a week of pub food, it was in fact, quite fantastic. Had a souffle type thing w/ asparagus and sheep's cheese that was excellent. Everyone else seemed quite happy w/ their food too. The atmosphere was very much alive and it was a great looking space as well. A little on the pricey side considering my meal didn't have a tuna steak or something but it was really good and I'd go back. read more

The food here is amazing, mind blowing actually!! Seriously adventurous menus that come close to art - I have been several times and taken friends who are visiting Brighton - every time the chefs never fail to produce unforgettable taste experiences - I have never been to another restaurant (never mind vegetarian) that comes close - this is my favourite restaurant of all time! read more

For a vegetarian this place is amazing, because of the sheer variety of different dishes on offer. It makes you realise how imaginative you can be with vegetarian food, and how the vegetarian food you get in most restaurants is basically an after thought. I went here a couple of weeks ago to celebrate a special birthday and the food was so great. I had the rosti, and then for pudding an icecream which was like a boiled egg, with biscuits for soldiers - yum. The only thing is it is expensive, don't try to eat here if you are on a tight budget. read more

Oh where do I start with this place? First of all I want to say I'm not a vegetarian but will keep going back to this place because it's simply exquisite food. I recently had the tea for two with my husband. It consisted of a long ceramic tray of mini cakes and desserts and for a fixed price you could have 2 rounds of tea or coffee or organic ginger beer. It filled me up and my taste buds were happy. Service is always good with friendly waiters. Decor contemporary and colourful. I like the fact the dress code seems very casual and the atmosphere is too. read more

Simply astonishing. I'm sure it's been said a thousand times by visitors to this outstanding restaurant, but if all vegetarian food were like this, I'd turn veggie tomorrow. Problem is it's so labour intensive and complex, the perky prices are no surprise. I caught a glimpse of the kitchen and there seemed to be about 40 people down there. Beware giant portions, by the way. If you've anxious to keep the price down on the a la carte, order two dishes between three. You won't go hungry, trust me! And do take advantage of Terre a Terre's loss leader £12.50 lunches - almost a bargain. read more

One of the few veggie restaurants that stacks up in terms of invention and high-falutin aims to its Michelin-starred meaty rivals. Picking through the listy items of the menu (X deep-fried, then rolled in Y, covered in Z and with a jus of A), Terre A Terre wears its ambition on its sleeve this is a proper, high-end restaurant, that happens to be veggie. That could so easily go drastically wrong. But it doesn't. So, don't expect massively cheap prices, or healthy veg food there's a lot of fat concealed in some dishes. But do expect complex and vibrant flavours, an excellent wine list and carefully balanced cooking. Excellent all round for a posh veggie meal. read more

In my view this is the best vegetarian restaurant in Brighton. It is expensive - but worth saving for special occassions. Food is delicious and presented so well. Great menu which changes every time I go in there. Restaurant is relaxed and the staff are really friendly. I even have friends that travel down from London specifically to eat here ! read more

This has been my favorite restaurant for quite some time and is simply inspiring! Beautifully presented imaginative concoctions served to you in an unpretentious friendly atmosphere. leaving your taste buds reeling with sublime sensory delights! I would advise one to share dishes where possible so as to sample a variety of dishes. The portions are ample with an interesting wine selection on offer, this i wonderful for both a lunch time or dinner. I highly recommend to all those who appreciate lovingly prepared food at is best! read more

If like me you'd heard alot about this place friends, colleagues etc saying how good it was but you haven't got round to going yet then all i can advise is don't put it off just go asap. Its fab i'm no vegetarian and normally would resent paying for just veg but honestly this food is so worth it and i can probably say adding meat would spoil it! I also think its reasonable in price yes you can go and spend alot of money but they do some great offers tapas for 2 pls wine £30! and even at one point a 3 course for £12-13 which is amazing and portions weren't skimped. all in all a great restuarant read more

One of the best (if not the best) veggie restaurants i've ever been to. It doesn't fall into the complacent attitude many places fall into. Very varied and imaginative menu. read more

Great food! You really need a reservation on the weekend. It is very popular. The menu was so interesting and elaborate it was hard to understand what to order. So we just watched the dishes being served around us, and ordered from there. Everything was amazing - wonderful presentation and flavors! We will definitely come back next time we are in Brighton. read more

When our little Timeout guidebook told us that "vegetarians groan with pleasure over the food" here, we thought they were just being hyperbolic. And yet, after the firstbite of the Peeking Steamed Buns, we were beside ourselves with happiness. We just got the Peeking Buns and the Tapas Platter for 2, and we were totally stuffed (not to mention besotted). Okay, so we did manage to find room for the Brownie Bomb dessert, which was just as delicious as everything else. read more

Food was disappointing and service was terrible, multipal dishes were served with missing ingredients or wrong entirely, still waitress insisted that they were not. Was a disappointing experience all together. Not fresh ingredient, a lot of pickled ingredients and way too salty. If you have to go avoid the tomato and rocket salad. On the other hand, their kids menu seems to have more options than most. read more

I have eaten here twice, once on a set lunch with friends the other for dinner on my tod. Both times the service was good but overall I preferred the diner ambience. The food is good as you will have gathered from other reviews but I do wish they would update the interior it is a bit like sitting in a mid range pizza parlour and the prices are a bit steep for everyday. I am not a vegetarian so enjoy their approach all the more. Most recently I had the Suffolk soufflé which was fine but the dessert of the thyme cheesecake as excellent but nearly (£8.00) so should have been! and the wine I had was a delicious organic red and very good indeed, no hangovers the next day! This does make a nice step change for the usual place to go and nice when you have veggies with you who can really enjoy everything on menu rather than the ubiquitous goat cheese tart read more
