There's something for everyone among the colourful small plates that take on global influences and burst with freshness and flavour. Many of the good value wines are also offered by the glass.644m
• Burnt OrangeBib Hidden away within Brighton's famous Lanes, it's easy to miss this fun, relaxed spot. That would be a great shame, as it's a terrific place with retro music on the speakers and cocktails flying out from behind the bar. The menu slots in perfectly with the culinary trends of the times, offering a selection of sharing plates based on produce cooked over a wood-burning fire. Look out for the Middle Eastern and North African influences, such as the creative, beautifully golden leek and spinach pastilla.817m
• Maré by Rafael Cagali★ Michelin ‘Maré’ translates to ‘tide’ in Portuguese, reflecting the ever-changing seasonality of the cooking at this neighbourhood restaurant from the acclaimed chef behind London’s Da Terra. The beautiful interior is sleek and modern, while the cooking draws on influences from Cagali’s Brazilian roots, along with forays into the Mediterranean, Mexico and Japan. Sharing is encouraged, although you’ll be loath to give up any of the signature ‘baba au cachaça’. Service is warm, genial and caring, with many dishes delivered by the chefs.2.8km
• PalmitoBib A pink neon sign beckons you into this wonderful little neighbourhood restaurant that's all about small plates and big flavours.

The décor is simple and understated, but the cooking is bold and interesting, with an appropriate degree of care taken in the kitchen. Kick your evening off with a colourful cocktail, and make sure to end it with a delicious dessert.1.9km
• Cin CinBib Cin Cin’s loyal band of customers come for its wallet-friendly Italian cuisine, where fresh ingredients are simply cooked and natural flavours are allowed to shine. You can create a different experience every time you visit by sitting in a different place: in front of the open kitchen, at the horseshoe counter, gazing out the window onto the street or in the calmer rear room. Wherever you choose, the terrific homemade pasta is a must – such as strozzapretti with wild mushrooms, pickled shallots and parmesan. An all-Italian wine list completes the picture.2.2km
• Dilsk Visit this intimate and slightly moody spot inside the Drakes Hotel and you will likely be treated to some of the delicious, red-brown seaweed – more commonly known as dulse – after which the restaurant is named. Both the Short and Full tasting menus on offer include colourful dishes that are the epitome of modern British cuisine, like hogget with wild garlic and purple sprouting broccoli. The roster of well-chosen wines offers less-common choices that complement the food well.54m
• Embers Tucked away in the heart of Brighton’s famous Lanes, you’ll find this contemporary bistro with a big, wood-fired heart.

As you would expect, plenty of smoky flavour comes through in the well-executed, accessible dishes.664m
• Tutto This smart Italian brasserie sits inside a transformed former bank and can be easily spotted by the large black-and-gold clock adorning its outside wall – in summer, the pavement terrace is a prime spot. The cooking follows an ingredient-led Italian philosophy, providing satisfyingly intense flavours in dishes such as pappardelle with a seasonally changing ragu or roasted cod with a punchy puttanesca. The friendly, knowledgeable service and all-Italian wine list complete the picture.671m
• Furna This stylish city centre restaurant is the first solo venture for Chef-Owner Dave Mothersill, who has been a fixture of the Brighton food scene for some time and brings an array of techniques to his precisely crafted dishes.

• Amari Look out for the bright-red exterior that draws you like a beacon to this Spanish-inspired restaurant tucked down a busy side street in the north of the city.
