Another award-winning vegetarian restaurant with a committed local following. You don't have to be a vegetarian to enjoy the menu - the food is incredible. And it is almost directly beneath the flat!

If it is possible for restaurants to have sex-appeal, then Plateau has it. Candle lit, fine wines, great staff. The perfect place for a romantic date, and no more than 30 seconds from the apartment.

Fantastic, colourful, teeny-tiny Mexican that (annoyingly!) doesn't take bookings. Turn up, put your name on the list, then head to a bar nearby until they call you. It's well worth the wait.

Brighton is full of incredible, unique independents, so I don't often see the appeal in opting for a chain... but I'll gladly make an exception for The Ivy in the Lanes. Located in the Old Post Office, it is a cavernous space always brimming with guests and has unapologetically over the top opulence, with blinging crystal, gold, and floral designs. If you've got something special to celebrate, look no further.

One of Brighton's newest (and best) restaurants, the Permit Room is the creation of the celebrated Indian restaurant brand, Dishoom. The decor is mid-century, with low-lit lighting and incredible food. Best of all, it's on my street 😁

There are actually two Riddle and Finn's in the city. The original is in the Lanes, and is an intimate candle-lit affair. The other (the one noted) is larger and has a prominent position overlooking the sea. These are the best seafood restaurants in town

The theatre is over 200 years old and still maintains its original grandeur. But the shows are always bang up to date. From Spamalot to Rocky Horror. Well worth a night out if you are into theatrics.

As a vegan, I'm not a massive fan of the aquarium, but my niece and nephew love it. It's also the world's oldest operating aquarium and they've made the most of its ornate 19th century design.

This queer club is poppy, trashy, and very very young. It is also strangely popular with straight allies these days too. But then, that's what's great about the city. Not many places are fully straight or fully queer. We all mix it up together :)

This was an old, cheap, Brighton boozer in the heart of the otherwise achingly trendy North Laine, and held out as the last genuinely rough and ready local in the area... until last year when it had a facelift to become what is now perhaps the most trendy bar in the whole neighbourhood. These days pints are pricey and the beer tap labels say which are vegan but it's still an old pub at the heart of the community.

Until a year or so ago, this was one of the last ‘old-mans’ boozers left in the North Laine. But as with the rest of the neighbourhood, gentrification was inevitable. It is now one of the coolest pubs in the area. With a young, fun, crowd and plenty of independent brewery beers on tap.
