Terre a Terre

Ate there last night, I was disappointed. The portion sizes were good, and the starter of arojo mojo was excellent, and I was excited to get the main courses. What a let down. Mine was a bit interesting but not full of flavour, my partner's main was huge but the overriding flavour was of slight greasiness and he asked for chilli to cut through it. My dad's veggie version of fish and chips was also a let down and greasy. However the home made ice creams for desert were great, and the Italian carafe wine was also really tasty. The service was great and unhurried, but we thought the £100 bill for the three of us was over priced.

Still the best restaurant in Brighton... even the most hardened meat eater could not come away disappointed (I'm one of them).

Inspiring food, surprisingly good portion sizes with a good ambience and great service.

Went here for lunch after my grauation and it was lovely. Definitely not used to food like this but it was lovely. We shared the tapas, one vegan option and both were lovely. The garlic bread was delicious and there was halloumi and smoked tofu which were my favourites.One bit of the tapas I didnt like was the indian chick pea stack with some kind of cackers on top.

We went for the non alcoholic drink option and got two large bottles of water and one glass of vegan wine. The whole bill was £60 for four of us inc drinks.

Staff were lovely, didnt pester us at all but were just friendly enough. All in all a lovely place to go for a special treat!

I found that the food was bland and expensive. My husband I had a vegetarian Tapas to share, a bowl of chips and a bottle of water. All in all the bill came to £28. Not as bad as our neighbouring dinners who had soup, salad and bread for the grand amount of £38.

Although the staff and the surroundings were nice I wouldn't be rushing to go back because of the price

Went back to Terre a Terre for lunch on Sunday after 18 Months since our first visit. The restaurant was only half full, but the staff were all pleasant and polite and there is a nice relaxed atmosphere - 'sit where ever you like' - which I like, rather than being told where to sit.

The menu did seem to be smaller than I remembered, but still a wonderful choice of starters and mains which we were torn between!

All the food was presented extremely well and everything tasted fantastic, just as we remembered from our last visit. We were still amazed at the fact that the food is so well thought out, tastes so delicious and the flavours stay in your mouth for as long as you want to keep tasting them (fellow foodies out there will know what I mean)!

My only negative things to say would probably be that the lunch and dinner menus are more or less the same and could be a little more different to each other, and that they close on Mondays - but I suppose everyone is entitled to a day off!

Keep doing what you're doing, we will definitely be back!

I have eaten here many times and found it to be excellent

The food and service are always great and considering te work involved in the dishes it is good value for money (although it is maybe more of a spcial occassion place than an every day one)

I went here on Saturday night for my birthday as it's my favourite restauant. I've not been for two years so was really excited.

The food was as fantastic as ever. Their tapas for two starter is amazing - a huge plate full of all terre a terres treats but be warned, it is so filling it's hard to find room for your main course.

Atmosphere was great, food was amazing. The only thing that felt a little different from the last time I went was that the service wasn't quite so good (although it was still very good). Usually the waiters are very informative about what you are eating, tell you exactly what is what. This didn't happen this time but this is perhaps as it was extremely busy.

The food in Terre a Terre is very expensive but it really is worth it for a special treat as you won't get such interesting food anywhere else like this! I'll happily pay to have something different and delicious.

I personally love this place and have been eating there since it originally opened around the corner.

However, I was struck reading the reviews here that they seem to be about two totally different restaurants. I would defy anyone to come to a reasonable conclusion about whether they should or should not eat here based on what people have written! Makes it all a bit pointless really.

Having read some of the negative reviews on here lately, I was slightly sceptical at my girlfriend's choice of restaurant, but as the veggies in the party outnumbered this carnivore 3:1, I grudgingly agreed to book it. Well, I'm pleased that I did! Quite simply the food was outstanding, starting with the sussex cheddar soufle which was to die for. The wine in particular seems on the pricey side, but for a special night out I feel you get what you pay for: some of the best food in Brighton with good service and a vibrant atmosphere.

i absolutely agree with the last few reviews about Terre a Terre. When it first started the food was so fantastic.the flavours really zinged out from the plate. I have been so disappointed with the menu for the last two visits. We ate there a couple of weeks ago and my vegan husband really struggled to find something without cheese...and the depth of flavour just isn't in the food anymore. I really feel they have lost their edge, and I shan't be going back there for a while. It's such a pity because it really used to be a treat and a joy..
