Seafood · Brighton
Tucked just off the Lanes, this is a proper seafood spot that still works with children in tow — high chairs, a kids' menu, and a small four-seater terrace out front by the path to the old town if you'd rather be outside with a pram. Inside it's candlelit and warm, with room to spread out, though it fills up and gets lively in the evenings, so it may be too loud for a child who needs quiet. The staff are the reason people come back: attentive, cheery, quick with recommendations. Portions are generous — the risotto defeats most people — and the oysters, sea bream with samphire, and seafood linguine get the most praise. Mains run roughly £25–35, so it's a treat rather than a Tuesday. Worth booking, and skip the whole crab unless you fancy the work.
