Was down in Brighton for shopping with my family. Had heard some good things about this one and thought of giving it a try. Absolutely loved the place. Amazing service coupled with delicious fusion food from across the globe. A must visit.
Brighton you are continuing to astound me. I still can’t get over just how much dining in this city has changed over the last few years and I can’t wait to explore even more of it. Oddly as part of our journey of discovery in Brighton we ended up in a vegetarian restaurant (odd because it’s me) ordering a huge four tier afternoon tea. Terre à Terre started life in 1993 by Amanda Powley and Philip Taylor. Both classically trained chefs have created a truly unique and wonderful meat-free cooking environment, serving food as ethical and sustainable as possible. Honestly If I’d had my eyes closed throughout the meal I couldn’t have always guessed it was vegetarian, even sometimes I still couldn’t get over the richness, “meatiness” and overall depth. This is afternoon tea with attitude and goes down a treat with a glass of fizz or two (or three).
For New Yorkers unfamiliar with Brighton, think of it as the Hamptons meets the Jersey Shore with a good helping of Brooklyn on top. There are fancy old Georgian homes, a tacky pier, clubs pumping electronic beats and vintage clothing shops all somehow effortlessly coexisting. And a rocky beach. Yeah, don’t come to England to go to the beach. But the thing I was naturally most excited about was the food. This is where the “Brooklyn” aspect shines through with lots of fantastic bakeries and vegetarian restaurants. Terre a Terre falls into the latter category and deserves Must Try Status for foodies, vegetarian or not.
