Terre a Terre

Do not go there!

Extremely over priced and pretentious (welcome to brighton!), but nothing extraordinary in your plates : (

Very disappointing.

The food here is fantastic. Having been to several mediocre or very bad Brighton restuarants, I was beginning to despair but Terre a Terre seemed to get everything right - friendly, attentive staff, good atmosphere but really the food made it stand out. Even my partner, who is a committed carnivore found the food excellent. I will definitely go back.

Innovative dishes, but priced accordingly. It seemed to me that you pay for the looks rather than the taste of the dishes which wasn't that special. The staff was friendly but slow and, I thought, unprofessional. Far too over-priced. The style of the restaurant is awkward and a bit tasteless.

I have been to Terre a Terre twice now. Both times the staff were very friendly. The service was not quick but the meals are extremely complex looking to create! The food always looked fantastic and it was a shame to eat it! On my first visit I only had a starter which was fabulous. On my second visit my boyfriend ordered something - it's hard to tell what your ordering without a dictionary present! - and it was completely overpowered by mint. He is an excellent cook himself and has been to Terre a Terre a few times but he said he would not go back as both dishes we had were over powered by a singular taste that affected all parts of the plate and did not give way to any of the other pieces of food! Shame as, although it's very pricey, I liked going in there!

Fantastic. Went here for my birthday. Service was unrushed, but attentive and you felt 'taken care of' without it being overbearing. they are used to subsitutions and catering for special diets with gluten free and vegan options avaiable for most main dishes. Money well spent and lovely surroundings/decor with a secluded outdoor garden. Food was fantastic (if wordy) and presentation was inventive. I didn't know what everything was, but needless to say it was vegetarian cooking without an over reliance on the old standbys of cheese and stodge. Fresh vegetables were showcased well. Wish we had one in London..

The food cannot be faulted it was fantastic, but the service for me was not of the highest standard, to many waiters and waitress standing around when they could have been pouring wine or water, are starter was explained well but the main was not nor the dessert, no visible sign of a restaurant manager or Maître d' all in all I would go again to give it anther try but for two rosettes the service should be better.

I have been there for my birthday. It is the first vegi restaurant ever been. The place is really nice, i have been impressed by the number of table, i was thinkung about a small place but it is not. The food is really tasty but not as much innovative as i was expected. I recommand this place wich provide a good food experience.

Whilst not a vegetarian myself, I had dined at Terre A Terre a couple of times in the past and enjoyed the experience. However on this occasion (a Saturday lunchtime), I was very disappointed. The restaurant was noisy, crowded, lots of families, pushchairs and associated paraphernalia (admittedly, being child-unfriendly, I should have known to avoid Saturday lunch). My boyfriend ordered an organic lemonade, and at £2.75 a glass expected some nice homemade lemonade. So when a tin containing average lemonade rolled up, he was quite surprised. The wine menu is overpriced. The food was nothing special. Generally, the dishes we ordered were very rich and stodgy and bad value for money, with the exception of the Iddli Spice Puff starter (very authentic version of a south indian dish) and a pudding, Cigarillo Mejoolie. Service, on the other hand, was excellent - the staff were efficient and well informed about the food.

I'm a big fan of this restaurant and have spent many a pleasent evening there. However one word of warning.

Unless you enjoy being surrounded by screaming, badly behaved children who run around the place DO NOT visit this place for Sunday lunch. We went there last Sunday and it was horrendous.

I'm all for families eating out but is it too much to expect parents to take responsibility for their kids and teach them how to behave? One of the children actually went to the toilet all over the floor whilst we were there.

If this happened in some chavy pub people would think this unacceptable but somehow do it in a middle class place full of indulgent parents and suddenly it's okay.

Wow...it was our anniversary and we wanted something a little different. Neither of us had ever tried terre a terre, but were very pleasently suprised.

The food was AMAZING, and that is really no understatement. The flavours were so unusual and combined so well with each other. Wine was a little pricey, but the set menu was very reasonable and so worth it. I would highly recommend this restaurant for anyone whether you are vegetarian or not. Simply amazing food and the service that goes with it. Many thanks for making it a very memorable evening.
