Cheap restaurants
We all know that what and where you eat is one of the most important decisions to make on a trip, especially when attempting to get by without doing too much damage to your bank account. In general, food prices in the UK are fairly expensive compared to many other European countries, however Brighton does it’s best to break this trend. Though it has its fair share of gourmet restaurants, you will find yourself spoilt for choice when it comes to eating cheap, healthy and tasty food.
Where to find a decent meal?
Giggling Squid
This impressive Thai restaurant serves up delicious, authentic food, and does so at reasonable prices. It is recommended that you go here for the lunch time special, between midday and four o clock, where you can pick up a starter of Spring rolls, and a main course of Thai green curry for only £5. As an added bonus, the food and drink is presented beautifully. Take a seat outside on a summers day and you will be feeling very satisfied with your culinary choices.

Fat Leo
You will find many Italian restaurants in Brighton, varying hugely in quality and prices. A safe bet if in the mood for pizza, pasta and Italian desserts, however, is Fat Leo. A 3 course meal for under £10 is always a good find, meaning the £8.75 you will pay here is a real bargain. Bruschetta, funghi e prosciutto pizza and tiramisu is personally recommended. Perhaps add on a bottle of wine, the house white priced around £10, and enjoy your evening in well lit, modern surroundings.

Other alternatives
A pizza alternative is ‘Oregano’, situated on Old Steine off St James Street. You will again be eating a 3 course meal, including delicious stone baked pizzas, for under £10, however this time in rustic wooden surroundings. You can call them on 01273 677377. For traditional British food, try one of Brighton’s many pubs. They will all serve pies, burgers, chicken, lasagne and various other home cooked meals. As an example, the Pavilion Tavern at the bottom of North Street serves one of these options with chips and vegetables for £2.99. If you’re after a hearty meal at very low prices this is a great option to have.
Other names to look out for are ‘Kensingtons’, in the north Laines, and ‘Pompoko‘, which is opposite ‘Brighton Dome’ just off New Street.
