Mowgli Brighton

For authentic Indian eats in North Laine, look no further than Mowgli. Their beautiful restaurant is decked out with hanging ropes, pretty fairy lights and indoor trees, with a menu that's equally enticing. Think soft paneer served with fresh spinach, tandoori chicken roti wraps or Goan fish curry, with most dishes costing less than a tenner.

Pizza Pilgrims Brighton

Pizza Pilgrims 4 Course Xmas Feasting Menu - £32.50 per person and 1 other offer

For some of the tastiest slices in Brighton, make your way to Pizza Pilgrims in The Lanes. This quirky restaurant fronts checkered tablecloths, twinkly fairy lights and plenty of plants, while their cheese-heavy menu includes toppings like spicy nduja, burrata or smokey aubergine parmigiana. Feeling thirsty? Nab refreshing cocktails like the limoncello-based Pilgrim Spritz.

Wahaca Brighton

Inspired by the street food markets of Mexico, Wahaca is a vibrant, colourful restaurant on North Street created by MasterChef winner Thomasina Miers. These guys have also been carbon neutral since 2016, so you can feel good about yourself while tucking into grilled chicken quesadillas, plantain tacos, chargrilled steak burritos and much more.
