Vegan Restaurants in Brighton
1. Terre à Terre
Vegetarian restaurant in Brighton
71 East St - BN1
“Still a vegetarian heavy hitter” – this “vegetarian mecca” in the Lanes “remains the best vegan restaurant there is outside of London” (certainly of a non-Indian variety) and many would extend this accolade to the capital too. It was the most commented-on destination in Brighton this year and one of the Top-100 most commented-on restaurants outside London in our annual diners’ poll. “Clever, innovative and beautifully presented food that even the carnivores love” remains “exceptional and different” (“you don’t even miss meat or fish!”). (“The last time we visited we were disappointed but it seems to be back on form!”).
2. Food for Friends
Vegetarian restaurant in Brighton
17-18 Prince Albert St - BN1
“Excellent vegetarian food, made with love and imagination” has earned widespread recognition for this institution on a “slightly cramped” corner in the Lanes, founded in 1981. Its younger sibling, Botanique in Hove, was founded on similar lines, but last year took a different direction by adopting a ‘sustainable, biodiverse, hyper-local approach’ that involves serving some meat and fish.
3. Iydea
Vegetarian restaurant in Brighton
17 Kensington Gardens - BN1
2022 Review: “A fire before lockdown, followed by Covid restrictions, mean it's been a tricky time for this well-loved Brighton institution”, but the “fabulous” North Laine veggie and vegan café is happily once again back in business. “Beyond-delicious food, lovely people and a great atmosphere” ensure that it's “definitely worth a visit even if you’re not vegetarian”.
4. Bonsai Plant Kitchen
Vegan restaurant in Brighton
44-45 Baker Street - BN1
“Very clever, delicious dishes where meat isn’t missed at all – although it is name-checked (tongue firmly in cheek) in dishes such as Hanoi ‚‘pork’ spring roll and Mongolian ‘lamb’ skewers, which are of course 100% vegan”. Chef Dom Sherriff (ex-The Dorchester in Park Lane) takes his inspiration from the cuisines of Japan, Thailand and Vietnam to ‘re-invent vegan food’; and the results are by all accounts absolutely delicious (and extremely good value, with a tasting menu at under £30 per person). “Great cocktails”, too.
