Amazing and mindblowing - Edit
The starters were the best part I think. The mains and desserts were very good too but for me the starters were just on another level. I didn’t and couldn’t expect something so good. The food is amazing, creative and packed with interesting flavors. I 100% recommend it.

Excellent! - Edit
Terre a Terre has always been excellent! Afternoon tea was splendid, so much thought went into each piece. Truly amazing. Regarding the rest of the menu - it’s got a few vegan options which we’ve tried over time but I do wish there were more available!

Excellent as always - if only they’d go fully vegan - Edit
I’ve been going here for some years and it’s unfailingly excellent. A meal plus cocktail cost just over £50 per person but that felt reasonable, given the quantity and quality of the food. Wonderfully imaginative ideas, beautifully presented, and the service is always with a warm smile. Terre à Terre led the way when vegetarianism was an oddity but now it feels like they’re lagging behind, given how the world is changing. It’s always a pleasure to eat here but I do wish they’d bite the bullet and go fully vegan.

7/10 might try again! - Edit
We booked Terra A Terre for an afternoon tea during our trip to Brighton. It was so lovely to find a vegetarian restaurant which you felt like you could trust to prepare a fully vegan afternoon tea!
Read moreThe service was very attentive and the restaurant was very big. All of the dishes were very well presented, but the flavours didn’t knock our socks off.
Sadly, the scones were heavy and dry and they were the thing I was most looking forward to. Worth a visit if you’re in the area, but just felt expensive for what we actually had!
Pros: Fully vegetarian restaurant , Attentive staff , Vegan afternoon tea
Cons: Heavy scones

Worthy of the hype - Edit
I only had 3 days in Brighton and this was the only vegetarian restaurant I went to because of the reviews and it certainly lived up to its reputation. It's mostly vegan which is fantastic, and the sharing plates, although pricey, are an excellent way to try so many items on the menu. Although the miso was overdone on the sharing plate (3 of the 6 bites), there was still so much going on to be very enjoyable nonetheless. Everything is delicious and innovative and pretty even the cocktails are delicious (try the lemon meringue!).

A must visit! - Edit
Adventurous flavours which are beautifully presented in a large plates. Loved the focaccia, aubergine starter and the KFC. For mains we had the spinach rosti and the vegan bao buns. Both delightful. I advise understanding the menu and asking re ingredients as some are quite unusual. I also advise going with an empty stomach so you can enjoy your meal. JC was our waitress for the night who was also wonderful!

A fancy veggie spot in Brighton - Edit
Really tasty food which great selection and interesting flavours and some of the most creative items on the menu. Staff were super nice and helpful, especially JC! Foccacia was super soft and airy, the aubergine starter was amazing, really enjoyed the KFC and Rosti dishes. The bao buns were the best vegan bao buns I've tried before. Would just love for the place to be fully vegan though!

Creative and flavoursome - Edit
I had the vegan version of the spinach rosti, my friend the veggie version and my other friend the vegetarian steamed buns (vegan option available). We were all very happy with the food and the chocolate pudding was very delicious.
Read moreWould have liked the food to have been a little hotter but feel it may have lost its temperature whilst the dish was put together/stacked. A bit of a pricey treat but would love to go again for another special occasion to try something new.
Pros: Lots of vegan options , Great variations of food
Cons: Expensive (but worth it for special occasions)

Best Restaurant Meal - Edit
This was another recommendation, and I’m glad we got to go here. I had the best restaurant meal that I’ve ever tasted. For starters I had the Ottoman Oyster Mushroom - I’ve never tasted anything like it - amazing. For my main, I had the the spinach potato rosti with tofu - it was foodgasm time. I don’t usually have a dessert, so I shared the Parkin with rhubarb and ice cream. It just goes to show how tasty vegan food is. I can’t wait to come back again. Oh and the staff were fantastic.

Fun vegetarian dining experience - Edit
Good food choices, excellent service, good value for money. Had the tasting plates so we could sample a lot as rarely in Brighton. Unfortunately not able to try the dessert tasting plate too as that would have been too much on the same night, but the one pud we had was delish.

It was really, really good. The mushroom skewers were unbelievably meaty.
Great place. Great service. Great food.

For service, drinks and truffles, this is the place, for starters and mains, well...... - Edit
Received a wonderful welcome from Natasha upon arrival. Joe, our server, was fantastic - a rare example of sincere and generous service. Mango margaritas during, and dessert truffles at the end of the meal, were superb. Starters and mains not so good.
Read moreMy sister had Aubergine Dengaku, my bro-in-law and I had Hoi Sin Sesame Tofu. Aubergine dish was okay, not excellent, which for such a prestigious restaurant was surprising. Tofu dish was both very salty and overly sweet. Initially, my sister and I agreed to share each others dishes but as soon as she tasted the tofu all agreements were cancelled.
For mains, my sister had Bao Wow Buns which again were okay. They were so well steamed that the buns had flattened out and the braised halloumi had very little taste left in them.
Both of us men had the Barberry Biryani Dal which consisted of five ramekin bowls - the three larger bowls, 3 or 4 ounce size, contained dal, rice and watercress salad. The two smaller bowls contained tamarind chutney and lime & mint raita. Since the bowls were quite small, the portions were quite small. There really wasn't that much dal, rice or salad which in retrospect may have been a blessing.
The dal had very little spice, more a bean stew than a dal and had very large chunks of tomato which made less room for the dal. The rice, about 3 ounces, though tasty, was a “bridge” too far since I had to get rid of six whole cardamon pods while attempting to eat the rice. The salad was dry with little or no dressing and was topped with dry crunchy noodle things. I did not eat it. Tamarind chutney was very sweet. Lime & mint raita did not taste of lime or mint, more a sweet mayonnaise.
Why not complain at the time? Well, my sister and bro-in-law were having such a great evening that I did not want to dampen their experience by complaining. It was their wedding anniversary, together almost 40 years, and they'd been severely affected by the Covid crisis. This was the night out that they'd been waiting for for a very long time. Complaining about the food would have spoiled their evening.
I called the restaurant days later and spoke with a manager, who in fairness, heard everything I had to say with complete impartiality. She even offered my sister and bro-in-law a return visit. Unfortunately, my bro-in-law had informed me he would not go back and without him my sister would not want to go. Strangely, even though I paid for the whole evening I was offered nothing. Was it something I said?
Pros: Lovely welcome, Excellent service
Cons: Lack of quality control, Imbalance in portion sizes: too much or not enough
