Brighton

🍽 Best Restaurants

Brighton's restaurant scene punches well above its weight — a city this size shouldn't have this much going on. The Lanes and North Laine pack in everything from fire-pit Argentine grills to quietly brilliant Sri Lankan kitchens, while the seafront has quietly shed its fish-and-chip clichés. What ties it all together is a fiercely independent spirit that keeps the chains firmly at bay.
