Brighton is full of incredible, unique independents, so I don't often see the appeal in opting for a chain... but I'll gladly make an exception for The Ivy in the Lanes. Located in the Old Post Office, it is a cavernous space always brimming with guests and has unapologetically over the top opulence, with blinging crystal, gold, and floral designs. If you've got something special to celebrate, look no further.

One of Brighton's newest (and best) restaurants, the Permit Room is the creation of the celebrated Indian restaurant brand, Dishoom. The decor is mid-century, with low-lit lighting and incredible food. Best of all, it's on my street 😁

There are actually two Riddle and Finn's in the city. The original is in the Lanes, and is an intimate candle-lit affair. The other (the one noted) is larger and has a prominent position overlooking the sea. These are the best seafood restaurants in town

This was an old, cheap, Brighton boozer in the heart of the otherwise achingly trendy North Laine, and held out as the last genuinely rough and ready local in the area... until last year when it had a facelift to become what is now perhaps the most trendy bar in the whole neighbourhood. These days pints are pricey and the beer tap labels say which are vegan but it's still an old pub at the heart of the community.

Until a year or so ago, this was one of the last ‘old-mans’ boozers left in the North Laine. But as with the rest of the neighbourhood, gentrification was inevitable. It is now one of the coolest pubs in the area. With a young, fun, crowd and plenty of independent brewery beers on tap.
