Food scene

Nice restaurant to visit although book ahead if you can. Inside there's three separate areas, the terrace is pricey and small plates so you may still be hungry when you leave! If you can't get in then enjoy a drink on the boardwalk out front.

Lovely restaurant in Hove, book ahead if you can. Especially nice for brunch! You can pay and park outside on the street. Seafront is just at the bottom of the road so you can walk off your food :-)

Street Mexican Food. You can't book and it does get busy on weekends. Usually they will take your number and they will ring you when your table as ready so you can stroll around the North Laines or pop into a local pub. Very reasonably priced.

This is a very short drive from my home, probably 10 mins in the car or you could cycle if you're feeling fit! Fabulous views and walks with a restaurant at the top to eat.

Cute little village with a few shops and bars. Beach is quiet and there's a great ice cream place just up the slope from the beach.

My fav place in Brighton. Forget the high street and chain shops, go to the North Laines for a load of quirky shops, funky people, and great places to eat and drink. You will also find a Wagamama, Fatto a Mano, Si Sinore, Franco Manca Pizza.

Tipps für Reisende

Verkehrsmittel

Parking in Brighton is expensive and traffic is busy.

If you can leave your car and take an Uber. The bus is around £2.50 one way so if there's a few of you a taxi is cheaper. You can hire Boris Bikes too, download the app btnbikeshare.com
