Cafe De La Mer - Brighton and Hove

Awesome food…a beautifully cooked whole sea bass in a lemon and butter sauce….accomp@nied by a dish of the most delicious home made tartar sauce! This was high end restaurant food cooked with skill and care…but….only £18.00….incredible…we will return

This restaurant is amazing! The staff is friendly, the food is delicious and fresh, and it's a relaxing and enjoyable spot to watch everything happening on the seafront.

After reading reviews on trip advisor we popped by here for some lunch by the sea….I ordered some prawns with garlic mayo dip, my husband had the scampi and our two daughters had toasties which came to £57. When the prawns arrived they were covered in eggs and looked dirty- I tried one and was completely put off by the mess the eggs etc made, they just turned to slush. (I have had fresh prawns many times but never like this). My husband tried one and it completely put him off his food too, so he went to ask if this is how they usually serve them. His response from the member of staff was “it’s how they are caught sometimes and yeah I don’t like them like that either” there was no offer for a change of meal or partial refund as we literally ate nothing! I will not return here again out of principle. no customer service skills or manners and such a waste of money.

Amazing food didn’t want lunch to end. I had sea bass and a colleague had skate, both excellent. Very welcoming staff and a lovely setting. Perfect!

Stumbled across this great seaside cafe/restaurant and was very pleased at the food and friendly service we got. Excellent, thank you so much.
