Il Bistro 6 Market Street, Brighton, Brighton and Hove, Brighton BN1 1HH

"Very nice decor inside the restaurant, staff were all happy and friendly. I do think they need to lose a table or two just to give it a little more space. Food was really nice, freshly cooked and hot. Definitely worth a visit. The toilets are upstairs. I did find it a little expensive, with the bill having 10% automatically added. Good selection of drinks however no draught all bottles."

"Just ok! I was looking for somewhere for some breakfast and came across this place. The staff are friendly (although they keep forgetting to bring some water, despite asking a couple of times, so I’m the end I gave up - it wasn’t even that busy!) I had the vegetarian Eggs Benedict (spinach and peppers rather than ham) and was decently presented but was just basic taste wise. Perhaps if this was my first experience of having Eggs Benedict I might have appreciated it more, but the eggs were undercooked (too watery but at least the yolks were runny), the spinach was bland, their hollandaise sauce wasn’t to my liking but the peppers were nice. I did finish it but that was more out of hunger than taste. I also ordered a hot chocolate. It looked pretty but lacked the flavour - I’m guessing because it was not stirred enough before it got to the table, as there was some chocolate powder right at the bottom (too small a space for a spoon). The vegetarian Egg Benedict was £6.50, which is reasonable. The hot chocolate was £3.50 - definitely not worth it"

"Tucked away in the Lanes this is a real find. Attentive staff and nice decor. The food though is the star here. Delicious and well cooked for a reasonable price. We will definitely be back."

"This was our favourite meal in Brighton! The fish stew is absolutely spot on and the chicken in blue cheese sauce an absolute hit! Don’t pass on dessert! My Eton mess was exactly what I needed as a sweet note before the walk back to the beach near our hotel. The staff was great too, super nice and welcoming and still smiling despite the lift to the kitchen being broken on that hot summer evening. Looking forward to going back to Brighton to try more dishes for sure."

"Found this lovely restaurant in the lanes of Brighton. What a little gem. We had three courses and everyone was really tasty. Very friendly staff. Thank you for making our evening so pleasant. We will come back next time we're in Brighton. Will definitely recommend to others."
