Casa Don Carlos

Feeling slightly lost in the lanes, hungry and thirsty in the midday sun, we stumbled upon this little tapas place by accident.

A number of Spaniards were enjoying their lunch which is always a good sign the food has an element of authenticity.

We sat at a table in the small side street and were quickly waited on. The grilled fish and the chorizo al vinos went down very well.

Going back again in the evening we found the place to be packed. Perhaps book before you take a wander.

My wife, friends and I have been to Casa Don Carlos so many times we've lost count. It speaks volumes that the place is ALWAYS full and I have never known anyone complain; either about the service, the food or the bill. Quite the opposite in fact. A true Brighton institution, it make all other tapas restaurants in Brighton look like rank amateurs.

I too have visited this restaurant many times & must agree that it is fantastic. You do have to book early, even on a mid-week night, or a lunch time, you will miss your opportunity if you dont get in there fast!

The staff are truly lovely, whilst still very professional. They have had the same staff for as long as i have been going there, which also speaks volumes. They are so calm even when the restaurant is overflowing. They are very good at what they do and that always adds an awful lot to a great restaurant experience.

The food at Casa is delicious. So authentic. No microwave techinicians in their kitchen! The service completely attentive and friendly.

I always reccomend this place and it is easily the best Spanish restaurant in Brighton.

I have been going to this restaurant for years and it just never disappoints...another fabulous lunch there yesterday. Great, authentic tapas and friendly service. I have friends from London who come down just to eat here. Perplexed by the two recent bad reviews...maybe they were off days...all I know is that I couldn't get a table (yes again!) for this Sat because they are fully booked - surely not the sign of a bad restaurant!!

Out of this world, great people, great atmosphere, exceptional value for money and most importantly did not feel rushed or pressurised to free the table. This is my third visit and I will be back time and time again.

All food appears to be homemade and I believe it is as you can taste the quality and freshness.

Still have not managed to eat here on a friday or saturday night as not used to booking tables but will do next time as busy busy place!

Had a very disappointing meal here recently. Service was very slow and inattentive. Overall a poor experience.

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.
