Tapas · Brighton
Tucked into Brighton, this is the kind of tapas spot where the food genuinely delivers — padrón peppers, garlic prawns, calamari and spinach come out consistently praised, and one family said it tasted just like their holiday in Mallorca. High chairs and a kids' menu are there, plus vegan options and good allergy awareness from the team, with gluten-free choices flagged happily. Portions are small-plate sized, so budget realistically: around £30–35 a head once drinks are in, and the paella at £18 a portion divides opinion. Service is warm and quick to fix mistakes. There's outdoor seating, but the pavement tables sit below a balcony and near a busy stretch, so with little ones the calmer, warmer inside room is the better bet. Booking is worth it at weekends.
