DaniFebruary 1, 2016Fantastic vegetarian food. I'm a meat eater but don't miss it when I eat here. I've been several times, the service and food exceptional. The sharing platter to start is amazing. Well worth the visit
Stephen TriminghamMarch 19, 2013Fabulous welcome, great choice of fine vegetarian and vegan food, and the proof is on the starter, main course and pudding. Hearty AND delicately flavoured food. A hard double act to pull off.
Thomas ParisotMarch 11, 2015The chips, scotch eggs and hummus trio are amazingly feeding... and finely crafted at the same time. Plus the staff is very well aware of baby trolleys and travellers backpacks.
Raci MurphyApril 11, 2017A place I will always return to - great food full of fabulous flavours and friendly staff! Recommend it 100% (reluctantly as I want to be able to get a table on my return)!
Adam QROctober 21, 2016The food is just amazing. A great selection - we dine as a group with just one vegetarian and we all happy. Great lunch time options available.
Josh MontagueJune 21, 2017Really great food and service. If the weather's nice, sitting out in the alley way is a really pleasant break from the crowds in the area.
James SouthornFebruary 16, 2015Afternoon tea is amazing. Freshly made scones are to die for and loved the tea selection (go for the teapigs liquorice and peppermint - trust me)
Sarah BrosnanDecember 11, 2018Beautiful vegan and vegetarian food, delicious wine and attentive staff. Highly recommended a liquid Dessert to top your meal off with ❤️
Iwona RokowskaSeptember 28, 2019Love it - great vibe very romantic. Really good food, beautifully served and nice staff
Ali MorrisNovember 18, 2013Excellent variety of Vegan, vegetarian and allergy friendly foods with lovely romantic atmosphere and class. The vegan wines and organic cider were great!
Ollie MartinMay 6, 2014I didn't realise it was vegetarian when I came in, but the staff were really friendly and their recommendations were spot-on, especially the beetroot spaghetti.
- Lenia KioumiFebruary 11, 2017My favorite vegetarian restaurant in Brighton! Excellent service & the tastiest food! I can't wait to go back!
- Maarten den BraberApril 11, 2013An absolute gem for veggies and meat lovers alike. Flavourful surprising dishes, superb staff and a sticky toffee pudding to die for.
Mary Colette NatashaApril 8, 2015Amazing place. Everything tasted incredible. Gluten free and vegan beers!
Benjamin HollwayMarch 18, 2017My all time favourite vegetarian vegan Brighton restaurant. Sometimes seems a little poncy, but always extremely tasty.
Emma RyanMay 25, 2013Great for lunch but if you come on a Saturday, get here by about 12.30 if you don't want to wait for a table. Try the asparagus and egg yok starter.
John HydeOctober 5, 2014The chocolate dessert is amazing and they helped me put a candle on it for my wife's birthday! Superb service, we will be back!
Ashley DandoSeptember 10, 2021Beet salad with blue cheese was good. A few small tables outside to watch the world go by.- Kevin SchmidtJanuary 26, 2013Amazing food. Recommend the portobello mushroom stuffed w feta. Also go for sticky toffee pudding. Great staff too.
Kate FloodAugust 4, 2011Vegetarian and Vegan restaturant that isn't at all uppity or pretentious. Not the cheapest but very reasonable for the quality of food and service, as well as a good selection of real ale... and even

Jon FosterAugust 24, 2014Amazing amazing food and great atmosphere, an absolute must if you're in Brighton.
Indy HollwayMarch 18, 2017Super tasty food, always reliably good. The cider champagne is gorgeous too
Natalie KaneJanuary 20, 2014Gluten-Free Brighton: Seasonal, and a bit priceier, but they always have really good gluten-free options.
Jennifer WalterJune 6, 2014Food for Friends is a place where divine food and excellent service meet. It was a great pleasure eating here!
cuiDecember 20, 2012Great vegetarian menu with seasonal and vegan options. Must try their homemade bread! 
No longer a canteen style eatery, this is now a sophisticated restaurant with excellent food and friendly, helpful staff.
Paul HayesSeptember 1, 2015Very tasty food, but expensive and small portions. Mezes are false economy, and we were charged a further £2 for more pitta to go with dips. Prepare to spend.
Caitlin EvansFebruary 9, 2013All my meat eater friends proper loved it here, IT IS PROPER BUFF TING!!!!!
LianneDecember 27, 2010Best meal I've had in a while - try the amazing mixed dips to start with, and the rosti was fab too.
Steve LowneyNovember 21, 2010Simply amazing with quite big portions! The portobello mushroom caps stuffed with feta and sundried tomato was outstanding!
Joey JohnstoneOctober 23, 2010Try the tokyo ice tea, but hold the lemonade. Takes the cloying sweetness out, the midori is sweet enough! Delicious.
MichaelApril 17, 2016Terrific food but we brought our kids and the waiter didn't seem to understand what they were.
Dan GreenJune 17, 2013Only has booster seats for toddlers, but they do the job. Baby change is in the ladies'!
Olive GreenAugust 20, 2018Sit down vegetarian/vegan. The salad I ordered was yummy, but didn’t live up to the hype of reviews.
