Vegetarian · Brighton
A Brighton institution for meat-free eating, this is one of those places where the vegetarian and vegan cooking is genuinely the point rather than an afterthought — small sharing plates of buttermilk halloumi, tofu buns, chilli miso chips and a daal that people come back for, plus desserts like the date and miso pudding. The redesigned room is warm and comfortable, with original artwork, forest-green tones and outdoor tables when the weather plays along. There are high chairs, a children's menu and step-free access with a pram, and the staff are good at steering you through an unfamiliar menu. Two honest notes: it's a special-occasion price, and on busy weekend evenings it gets loud, hot and slow — some families have waited a long time between courses. Lunch is the calmer bet, and the sharing platter deal is good value. Book ahead either way.
