    Bouillabaisse
    Craig J.

    The best restaurant in Brighton. Our waiter Henrick was outstanding. Excellent service and the best food. You have to try the Bouillabaisse soup. It's the best ever. The steaks are wonderful too. I had the rump steak. Excellent. 5 star establishment.

    The House is traditional high-quality British dining, with a Mediterranean twist thrown in. While not necessarily the most interesting meal, nor the most value-for-money dining experience, the location is absolutely exceptional, and well worth the price in the summer months. I should start by saying that I have never been inside The House itself. It simply hasn't appealed to me: some friends complain it is drafty, others that it is a little cramped... Indeed, from the outside I cannot imagine sitting inside is truly worth it. While the food is cooked to a high standard, and is clearly made with love and attention, I doubt it is worth an an awkward seating arrangement that looks like it would be thus from the outside! No, the true beauty of this restaurant is in its summer outdoor seating. Despite The House itself being tucked into East Street's furthest corner, they have snagged the centre of the square as their outdoor space, and it is a truly magnificent space to relax. Their wine selection is varied enough to merit it as a drinking spot alone! When the spring rains cease, and the musicians come out to sing and play, and the leaves on the big tree in the centre of the square dapple the light... There are always crowds of people streaming through, and yet you don't feel hassled or jostled at all. This is my true, beating heart of Brighton in the summer, and I cannot recommend it enough. Apart from the exquisite outdoor arrangement, there really isn't much to say. The food certainly isn't five-star, but is good enough not to ruin the outdoor experience, same goes for the drinks and service. Nonetheless, completely and utterly unmissable!

    The House is such a great restaurant tucked away in a corner of the South Laines. The menu is diverse and reasonably priced. My husband ordered this Chicken Madeira dish with potatoes and I had the House Bouillabaisse and we were not disappointed! Our dishes were full of flavour and warmth. Service also was amazing and courteous. The atmosphere was calm and relaxed which we appreciated on a Friday night in Brighton. We've had a Sunday roast here before and were absolutely impressed with the quality and quantity of food! Will definitely come back to The House again soon.

    The House is situated in the original Lanes of Brighton, its can be found tucked away behind East Street square with all the outside seating through out summer, (they also have a large portion of the seating). Through out the winter diners sit in an old converted house which still feels very much like your in a living room, but has a very modern minimal decor. Its a very dimly lite and romantic venue so would be great for dates...but maybe not a first date as each room only seats 10ish people so the awkward silences could be made unbearably obvious. They do deals through out the winter so its always worth checking the boards, they had a 'eat free if its your birthday' deal which me and my sister enjoyed a last year.

    I was lucky enough to be taken here for lunch by the Yelp duchess of the Sussex Yeoman, Brix H and…read moreher boyfriend The Yeoman is located a very short uphill walk from Brighton station but you may a little difficulty recognising it as the E has fallen off the sign, making it currently the YO MAN! It's quite cozy inside but Brix had booked a table. Despite its proximity to the station, it was a nice relaxing place to chill and chat. It did get busy later with football fans and we vacated our table so that others could eat There was a good varied menu with some ambitious dishes on there. I was warned that the portions size is generous here and you certainly won't go away hungry. You know it's a good menu when it's really difficult to choose I eventually settled on scallops with black pudding and potatoes served on salad including apple. The portion was huge and while the presentation wasn't fine dining and certainly wasn't intended to be fine dining, the combination of flavours was spot on. The scallops were sweet and I appreciated the fact that they had left the coral on - there is so much flavour there. The slightly spicy and deep flavour of the black pudding was the perfect foil and the salad dressing was well judged. Yum This is a pub with a serious kitchen. Recommended!

Inside you are greeted by an impressive selection of wines and ales, enough to please any potential connoisseur. While this isn't exactly something to write home about, the food certainly is. Inside the Yeoman, you won't find reconstituted burgers with a helping of soggy chips. You will instead be given the task of choosing from a weekly menu of locally sourced dishes, combing traditional British cooking with a modern continental influence. This isn't the cheapest lunch you will ever have, but it is possibly the best one you'll find in Brighton. The Yeoman would be more at home in trendy North London, not 20 yards from Brighton station's smoking area. That however, is our gain, and not London's. If you are searching for a warm meal, this pub won't be for you. However, if you really want to try good food, then look no further.

All the food they use is sourced from local suppliers. It was cooked to perfection! I'm a huge meet eater but decided to try the veggie breakfast for the very first time and boy was I impressed! It was delicious full of flavour perfectly cooked eggs, sautéed potatoes delicious grilled tomatoes, mushrooms beautiful fresh chewy white toast etc! My wife was equally impressed with her meat option. All in all a great surprise and start to the day. Check it out!

It's quite small and a bit of a squeeze with a pram, but once in we were seated comfortably in the corner. We ordered at the counter but I think the waitress would have come to us, however she thought we were waiting for more people. I went for eggs benedict while my companion went for the veggie Spanish hash. This was offered as a small or large portion. She went for small but there was plenty of food on the plate, the large must have been humungous! My dish was really tasty but one of the muffins was a bit hard on the bottom, giving the impression it was slightly stale. After our lunch, we both had a hot chocolate and chatted away. It was only when the staff started stacking chairs on tables around us that we realised the cafe had actually closed. However, we never felt pressurised to leave which was really nice. Highly recommended for breakfast or lunch.

    I love The Cow, apart from being one of my locals, I love all the craft beers they have on offer…read more It's a great opportunity to try different types of craft beers you might not normally try. They have quite a big food menu. A cross between burgers and tapas. I have eaten here quite a few times - usually tend to stick to the tapas style dishes as I like to share. To be honest, it's been pretty hit and miss with the food. Last time I had the squid (which wasn't great) but the polenta chips and white bean hummous were to die for! But as a said, can be very hit and miss. Saying that, that doesn't stop me from coming back here! The staff are all absolutely lovely. On the weekends they have a DJ playing, always gets very busy and has a great atmosphere. The interior is fab! Very Americana. The whole bar is lined with beer bottles, all of which they have sold in the past.

Menu sounded intriguing and we ordered the burger with triple-cooked chips, flank steak and the pig cheeks. Overall the mains were good however I found my burger to resemble McDonald's Big Mac. This may be because they also use a gherkin sauce. We decided to also order dessert which unfortunately was a mistake. Portions and presentation left is disappointed as we ended up paying £10 for them. I can't even recall what my partner ordered. It looked like 3 dollops of Nutella spread with thyme in them. I had the doughnuts which I didn't think were cooked well. Drinks were also a bit pricey in here. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be coming back nor can recommend this place. I did note that the service was decent.
