The 13 Best Restaurants In Brighton & Hove - London - The Infatuation

"Palmito on Western Road is so physically small that if you had to share this space with someone you loved for a full business week, it would probably result in a swift separation. But for a cachaća-infused evening amidst tasteful foliage, it’s perfect. The changing menu is like the travel itinerary for the gap year we never had—Peruvian ceviche, Mexican salsa macha, a distinctly Italian pistachio tiramisu—but the best dishes are the things that hint at the founder’s Ecuadorian roots. The tacos, whether filled with crispy local haddock and tomatillo salsa or tender birria pork primed for a dip in guajillo broth, rank as some of the best we’ve tried this side of the Atlantic. It’s popular, so be sure to book a couple weeks before your visit." - heidi lauth beasley

"The plates are small and the flavours are big at this wonderful little neighbourhood restaurant. The style of the food is described as ‘spice driven’ and draws on multiple global cuisines across the selection of affordable dishes. The décor is simple and understated, but the cooking is bold and interesting, with an appropriate degree of care taken in the kitchen. Kick your evening off with a colourful cocktail, and make sure to end it with a delicious dessert." - Michelin Inspector

Every dish amazing, hard to pick a favourite! Beautiful beetroot starter. Delicious King Prawns in Ecuadorian curry. Moist and moreish cornbread. Cod tacos were deliciously creamy and the goat tacos packed with flavour. Outstanding service, almost like a family welcome. Better than the food I’ve had in Mexico City. Can’t wait to go back to Palmito it’s perfection!

Food was delicious - the freshly made soft taco shells, on top of the airy fried cod and delicious small plates really made for a great experience! Customer service was also very friendly and attentive. Will definitely come back!

We had been waiting for a year to come to Palmito and it absolutely did not disappoint!! We had a cosy table for two and were immediately attended to by the lovely staff. Starting off with a Mezcalita cocktail we had stuffed padron peppers, Harissa cauliflower and avocado and green bean salad to start. Followed by an incredible cod taco, prawns, lamb skewer and birria tacos to die for. The cheapest white wine on the menu paired perfectly, and we topped off the evening with a rich pistachio tiramisu. We waddled back to the hotel and I am writing this from my bed, content beyond belief.

Hands down the best restaurant in Brighton (I grew up here and go to new restaurants constantly!) Every single plate we got, and we got a lot, was absolutely delicious. The service and the ambiance were also perfect, could not fault my experience and I cannot wait to return ❤️

We had the most wonderful experience at Palmito! From start to finish, everything was outstanding. The food was absolutely delicious , every dish was full of flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care. On top of that, the staff were amazing: warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, which made the whole evening feel extra special. Palmito strikes the perfect balance between incredible food and exceptional service. I can’t wait to come back and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience!

Oh my god this meal !!!! THIS WAS SOO GOOD !!! Every bite was a dream but the best thing (which was so good I ate all of it before I could get a picture of) was their flatbread! Best bite of the night by far I would return just to eat that again. The staff were lovely, the atmosphere was soo cozy and although it was so busy it still felt a private enough to enjoy a date (which is what I was on 😽) IM COMING BACK FOR U FLATBREAD !!!!!

Highlights included the Padron peppers, mussels, prawn taco, mezcal, margarita, and the beautifully crafted cocktails. The service was impeccable, warm, and attentive. Everything was perfect from start to finish. We’ll absolutely be returning!
