One of the best restaurants in Brighton for students

We’ve been voted one of the best restaurants in Brighton for students by Unifresher!

Superb Food. Excellent Service.
— Steve, August 2020

Service was exceptional. Very short wait on food which was also delicious and very cheap for the standard you are getting. With eat out to help out this feels like an absolute steal. I would definitely recommend to families, couples and just groups of people. Couldn’t fault it.

Great food, great staff, fab atmosphere

Perfect.
— Brad C, August 2020

Hadn’t booked a table but staff were able to find us a lovely little table outside. All staff were friendly and attentive, plenty of options for drinks and food. Our food was delicious and my dessert was out of this world.. 100% recommend.

Loved it!
— EssexSue, August 2020

We booked a table in advance and when we arrived and were seated we were amazed at how busy it was but all safely socially distanced. Friendly staff, buzzing atmosphere and we were really impressed with the menu which was 2 courses for £12! We had different starters and shared and we both had a flavour sensation after as it was just so tasty. Hubbie had pizza which he said was amazing and I had polo Milanese which I’d never had before, it was amazing too. Great little find, lovely wine and friendly staff, we had a great night and it was reasonably priced too. Thank you and we’d definitely recommend and return.
