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

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!

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!

We dined at a restaurant called Palmito and had an incredible experience. The tasting menu was a delight—every single dish we tried was outstanding. 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!

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 !!!!!

One of the best meals I’ve had in my life and I’ve eaten at many 1 and 2 star spots. Delicious, creative, seasonal dishes. Pretty huge menu for a small place. We liked it so much, we went back the next night to try more things. Standout dishes were the curry mussels, the leeks with blue cheese, the scallop, and the mushroom tostada. Lovely curated wine and drink lists as well. Once in a while I encounter a restaurant on vacation that causes me physical distress to be separated from. This is one of those. I hope to come back. My only complaint is the noise level when the restaurant is full.
