Great places to eat
Brighton's full of great places to eat, here are some of my favourites.
Cost: Average They import all of their flour from Italy and the dough is left to rise for 24 hours making the pizzas have a truly great base, woodfired in front of your eyes they are family friendly – reservations only for parties of 6+ they also do takeaway.

Mexican - Cost: Average These guys know how to make a mean burrito and excellent margheritas – a definite must if you like Mexican. Beware though their sauces can be hot! Again you can’t book – but you can put your name down at the door and they’ll call you when ready. And there’s pubs close by - The Office and The White Rabbit are good and close.
