Due South

How this isn't in the top tens for brighton is a miracle. Great food. Fantastic Brazilian girl working front of house. Deconstructed fish and chips is a must.

We were treated like royalty and had a great night. Highly recommended. Give Estia a wide berth and head here instead.

Estia

I HAD TO WRITE THIS FOR EVERYONE ELSE ON THIS SITE...

This is not the best restaurant in Brighton. I doubt its even the best greek in Brighton. This site seems to be flawed (as is the london version). I wanted to check out Brighton's no.1 restaurant. When I rang at 8:30 and asked for a table a lady eventually answered and said "we don't usually serve people after 9 on a tuesday" so we hurried there and got there before 9. When we got there we walked in and waited ten minutes for a member of staff to appear. We just stood there perplexed in front of the diners. In the end I rang their telephone and someone appeared.

Service was hit and miss (forgot our water)

Kefdedakia were very good as were the dolmades. Pork souviakis were a bit too dry and the moussaka had no aubergine.

The prices were extremely reasonable though. Maybe thats why this restaurant scores so highly?

We were pretty gutted after the high standard of due south the night before and seeing as it was our last night in Brighton I'd rather we had gone somewhere else. If you get to this page and are wanting a top romantic summery meal then head to due south instead

Banana Tree (West Hampstead)

Shoddy service with meals not turning up and waiters and waitresses losing the plot when its a bit busy. Over priced for what it is. Doesn't seem to deter the punters though. I won't be rushing back
