Casa Don Carlos

Simply the best Tapas in Brighton, if not the South!

You cannot get better than this authentic, Spanish-owned delight.

Too many words would sour their greatness, so I'll just make a few recommendations.

The chick pea dish is a must,

The Mojo Potoatoes have a sauce to die for,

Their Meatballs are the finest I bet you will ever eat!

If you don't try this place you'll have missed out on something really special.

Fantastic food, and brilliant atmosphere....and staff very attentive and knew what they were doing, and all about the menu and the specials.

Good selection of wines and the tapas menu is great. Very reasonably priced.

What more do you need to know. Go to Casa Don Carlos for a great night out with friends or a special loved one. A very memorable evening. Will be going back again soon.

My wife and I have just had a couple of days in Brighton .

We found the atmosphere and the hosts absolutely amazing they couldnt have been better. Thank you for a really great meal.

We will be returning to Brighton as much for this restaurant as for Brighton itself.

We have travelled to Spain and found that the food at Casa Don Carlos is even better than that found in Spain itself. The service is prompt and extremely friendly and welcomming. We travel from Oxford at least twice a month to taste the delights of this restaurant. We recommend having the deep fried aubergine with the artichokes and ham. The sauce in the artichoke dish compliments the aubergine dish. 10 out of 10!

I have been to this restaurant as often as I can, considering I do not live anywhere near Brighton. Have always found the staff excellent, friendly and welcoming. The food has always been tasty and well prepared and have found nothing on the menu as yet that I do not like. I always book as the place is never empty, to me that is a good sign of satisfied customers. Would strongly recommend to anyone to give it a try.

Best tapas I've ever had!! This place is bursting with ambience and flavour! Fantastic service, delicious food and good but very reasonably priced wine.

Will CERTAINLY be back and will recommend it to everyone I know. The chicken paella was almost better than I've had in Spain...

Chanced upon this gem from this very site. Thought it would be fitting to 'give back' the info I've used.

Set in a prime location in Brighton's lanes, it's a small wonder it was as busy during a wet midweek day. I'd imagine it would be stunning during good weather with a seating area outside to soke up the charm of the lanes in the evening.

We were greeted straight away and seated immediately. The place is so atmospheric. It is busy without being to intrusive. If can be so difficult for a restaurant to cater for a large group of friends or a romantic meal for 2, but this does it so well.

The menu had much variety and choice without being overwhelming. We went for the Garlic Bread, Rabbit, Lentil Stew, Chilli Potatoes, Chorizo in Red Wine, Paprika Pork, and Paella. The timing at which these were presented were perfect. One by one, but quick enough for you to have numerous dishes to pick from at one time. Every dish was tasty, fresh and piping hot. It was difficult for us to pick a favorite.

I couldn't help but notice that about half the people that came through the door that night were greeted by their first names. A sure sign that people will just keep coming back, which is what we'll be doing as soon as we can. Superb and highly recomended.
