Quirky Restaurants in Brighton

Brighton's menagerie of burlesque, cabaret and comedy nights is seemingly unparalleled in the UK, but where to get a dose of dinner on all that? Brimming with grandeur and vintage charm, head on down for a unique night out in Brighton thanks to Proud Cabaret.

You might not consider burgers a wholly unique dish, but you'll never look at them in the same way again once you've visited this eccentric little plot. One of the most unique burger bars in Brighton, MEATliquor is not only laced in American flavours and cracking cocktails, it's doused in neons, boasts its own DJ booth and caters to some of the most cool and garish of urban whims. 

While street food in Brighton has really kicked off these last few years, there's one vibrant little joint that took their tasty South American wares back inside. Boasting more colours than the rainbow itself, or at least we'd say so, this intimate little Mexican restaurant is a vibrant blast of Day of the Dead wares and Lady Guadalupe attitude; all with the delicious home-spun Mexican fare to boot. 

While it isn't rare to come across a restaurant on the beachfront, it's rare to come across one that doesn't serve fish and chips alone. Hauled up in one of Brighton's unique beachfront archways, Lucky Beach is a premium spot for American style fare. Brooklyn in its interiors and New York in its taste, this intimate little restaurant can't fit a whole lot of people, but it can fit a whole lot of flavour. 

European fare with a side order of cabaret, Little Bay is highly unlike any restaurant in Brighton that you'll have ever been to before. More of a performance theatre than a restaurant alone, Little Bay boast theatrical interiors; from raised baroque pulpits and gilded golden arches to red velvet curtains. You'll be chowing down on pocket friendly fare alongside a barrage of opera performances. 

Ok, so not technically a restaurant but The Yellow Book does allow guests to order their own takeaway, eat in the bar and will even do the washing up. The quirky Brighton boozer is the UK's first ever steampunk-themed bar and has some mad entertainment, we're talking snakes and lizard holding...

Some may consider the fact that going out for dinner means that someone else makes your food, but how about throwing all that by the wayside and having a go for yourself? A renowned Japanese restaurant in the heart of the city, Moshimo aren't the only ones getting hands on in the kitchen, you are too. Boasting sushi workshops for couples and groups alike, you'll know how to roll 'em and stuff them in your chops in no time.
