Hi all, looking for a recommendation for a restaurant in the centre of Brighton.

We have some friends coming down this weekend who have never been to Brighton before and it's been a while since we ventured out in town other than to the more common chain restaurants. Therefore, we are looking for somewhere for four of us where we can take our time, have a good chat so no deafening music, and maybe a pub after? No special dietary requirements although I wouldn't rule out a vegetarian or vegan.

Would be great to hear some suggestions.

Casa Don Carlos in the Lanes for fantastic tapas. Need to book. Bath Arms is practically next door, and plenty of other decent pubs nearby.

GB1 at the Grand, the Coal Shed, the Salt Room, and the local “Ginger” chain are all pretty good for a special night out. All depends on budgets.

Il Bistro on Market Street is good food at a decent price, Market Inn pub is practically next door along with Druids, Pump House etc.. in spitting distance.

Petit Pois in Ship Street has a decent selection to cover most tastes - decent pub right opposite although I can't remember the name.

I've always liked Browns. Never had a bad meal in there, it's got a bar a few doors down, and it's near the lanes.

Earth and Stars - both to eat and stay on as the pub element.

Bincho Yakitori on Preston Street, reasonably priced Japanese small plates, although difficult to get a table.

Thanks for all of the replies and suggestions. We've booked The Coal Shed, bon appetite!

Hope it was OK and you had a good meal.
After my suggestion to you, our visit to the Salt Room today was disappointing for the first time. Steak done medium rare instead of medium, steak knife blunt, béarnaise sauce was split and the fish soup had a tomato base that overpowered the fish flavour. I am not normally too fussy but the prices they charge they need to get it right.
