27 vegan kitchens in Brighton & Hove.
Part of The Vegan Ledger. Every kitchen here gets the same three-voices check: what the business claims, what customers reveal in reviews — quoted, with receipts — and what only the owner can confirm.
How we verify
Every kitchen here is checked three ways: what the business claims in its own listing, what customers actually say in reviews (quoted, not paraphrased), and what only the owner can confirm — which we hold as an open question until they answer it themselves. We won’t list a “vegan” kitchen if reviews contradict the claim; that’s cost places their listing before.
Central Brighton & North Laine19 kitchens
terre à terre
Brighton's landmark world-inspired vegetarian/vegan restaurant; premium, licensed and celebrated for creative tapas, but with recurring notes on price, portion size and slow service when busy.
Food for Friends
Food for Friends — a 45-year Brighton institution and proudly vegetarian (not vegan): sophisticated global small plates and seasonal set menus, polished service, a go-to for special occasions.
No Catch
100% vegan fish-and-chip shop on Brighton seafront serving plant-based chippy classics, eat-in or takeaway; well-priced and very popular.
Foodilic

Bonsai Plant Kitchen
Fully vegan modern-Japanese small-plates kitchen — creative, high-quality sharing dishes with standout 'chicken' skewers; a special-occasion spot, pricey for portion size but widely judged worth it.
17GRAMS Brighton | Coffee & Brunch
Plant-forward specialty-coffee brunch cafe in the Lanes — most dishes vegetarian and over half made-vegan-able, but meat and egg are served, so a mixed kitchen with a genuine vegan-brunch reputation.
The Roundhill Pub Under New management
Fully plant-based pub on Ditchling Road known for vegan Sunday roasts, Wellingtons and Yorkshire puddings and weekly deals; under new management with inconsistent service and stock issues.
Iydea Vegetarian Kitchen
Iydea — a much-loved budget vegetarian counter-kitchen in North Laine: build-your-own hot and cold plates with plenty of vegan options (vegan 'fish', homemade sausages), brilliant value and fast, friendly service.
Oowee Vegan Brighton - Plant Based Burgers, Fried Chicken & Shakes.
Fully plant-based American-style fast food in central Brighton — vegan burgers, fried 'chicken' and shakes; loved for range but with recurring gripes about extra charges and inconsistent service.
We Love Falafel
Meat-free falafel specialist on Sydney St serving freshly made, creative falafel wraps at great value, with kind, community-minded staff.
Happy Maki - Sushi Burritos & Bowls
Happy Maki — an all-vegan sushi-burrito and poke-bowl bar in North Laine with a non-profit ethos; friendly, take-out focused with tablet ordering, and a Brighton staple though some burritos are pre-made.
Sunbird Deli
Affordable meat-free Middle-Eastern/Mediterranean deli-cafe on London Road with homemade filo pastries, mezze and salads; editorial calls it vegan while reviewers describe vegetarian plates.
Beelzebab
Fully vegan junk-food kitchen — seitan doners, loaded hot dogs and fries — run out of the Hope & Ruin music bar; a beloved Brighton vegan staple, loud and fun at night.
FilFil Cafe
Small, central Mediterranean falafel-and-hummus cafe on Gardner St with a strong vegan following and big-value portions; a donner on the menu suggests meat is also served, so likely a mixed kitchen.
Manju's
Manju's — an intimate, owner-run Gujarati vegetarian restaurant near Trafalgar St: all-vegetarian small plates and curries to share, warm hands-on service explaining every dish, open only Thu–Sat so book ahead.
T @ The Dials
Fully meat-free brunch cafe in Seven Dials where everything is vegetarian with a vegan option for every dish, including a house-made vegan egg; small inside but with outdoor seating.
Hello My Moon
Hello My Moon — a bright, colourful York Place cafe (and evening wine/cocktail bar) known for inventive signature drinks and brunch; plant-based-leaning but egg on brunch dishes points to vegetarian, dog- and laptop-friendly.
V360 vegan café - Whippy Ice Cream and Gelato - 100% plant based
100% plant-based seafront cafe in the Kings Road Arches famous for vegan Mr Whippy soft-serve and gelato, plus churros, burgers and 'phish & chips'; limited weekend/seasonal hours.
Juicyfork
Juicyfork — a plant-based juice bar and health-food kitchen on Dyke Rd; Google lists it as a vegan restaurant with juice/health-food types, but it's brand-new with no review text yet to corroborate.
Hove2 kitchens
Dosa Kingdom
Budget, family-run South Indian & Sri Lankan kitchen in Hove — dosas, thalis and curries, BYO, generous portions and warm service; Google lists it vegetarian though the Sri Lankan menu isn't fully verified.

Landmark 100% plant-based pizzeria in Kemptown wood-firing its own sourdough pies; hugely popular and licensed, with occasional long waits on busy days.
Planet India
Family-run Indian vegetarian restaurant near central Brighton with colourful decor, regional small plates and standout value; also vegan-friendly.
Nanima Asian Kitchen & Café
Husband-and-wife pan-Asian kitchen-cafe in Kemptown with a daily-changing home-cooked menu; largely veg but tier-2 reviews reveal meat/fish, so not a fully-veg kitchen.
Falafel House
No-frills, budget Middle Eastern falafel counter in Kemptown — falafel wraps, salad boxes and dips, mostly vegan by default; hugely rated for value, with a lone review querying whether meat is also served.
A Table Cafe & Restaurant
Small newish Kemptown Mediterranean cafe-bistro doing all-day brunch and Mediterranean plates; listed vegetarian/vegan with no meat named in reviews, but polarising on quality and cleanliness.
