Staff were lovely, food was ok - Edit
We went here after hearing great things. We were sadly a little disappointed. The decor is a bit tired, the staff were lovely and helpful but the food I would say isn't worth the price. Lots of choice but had better in cheaper restaurants.

Delightful! - Edit
Went here for afternoon tea. I had the vegan option and my aunt and uncle had the vegetarian one.
Read moreThere is very little difference between the vegetarian and vegan - just a couple of small changes like dairy vs oat based cream for the scones.
Everything was delicious. The first course was surprising and inventive, and the cakes were a lovely mix of flavours. The teas were perfect too. It felt innovative and traditional all at once.
Highly recommend!

Afternoon tea for two - Edit
Eaten many times at this Brighton institution, but first time trying afternoon tea.
Read moreQuality excellent as always, waiter very friendly and attentive too.
Needs more of a balance between savory and sweet. Sweet items individually excellent but very rich and heavy taken together. Also, afternoon tea should provide endless supply of tea rather than just one pot.
Pros: Quality and originality of food, Knowledgeable and enthusiastic waiter
Cons: More savory needed, sweet items dominate , Tea should be endless, not just limited to one pot

Visited twice, top notch! - Edit
Beautiful food, gorgeous presentation and flavours! More like fine dining and prices reflect this - but absolutely fair prices for the quality of the food. Four of us each had a 3-course meal, plus a bottle of wine and a couple of other drinks, this came to approx £230 (about £60 a head) not including service tip.

Special meal at a brilliant place - Edit
This was such a great experience: really interesting food; a spacious and smart interior; and a lively atmosphere. The vegan tapas shared menu was delicious and so many creative vegan puds! Pricey at £80 each overall, but we’ll be making an excuse to come to Brighton again just for this!
Read morePros: Delicious, interesting food, Over half the menu is vegan, Value for money (but save up)

Creative afternoon tea, VE & GF option - Edit
Loved the afternoon tea, which was provided as two courses - plated savoury followed by tiered sweet. Steamed bun and hushpuppy were delicious and a novel alternative to finger sandwiches. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Thoroughly recommended!

Perfection - Edit
If I could give this place six stars I would. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the tapas menu we had was excellent. So much thought clearly went into the preparation of each dish, and I would happily recommend this restaurant to anyone, whether they're vegetarian or vegan or not.

90's Vibe - Edit
Old school place in the middle of the Laines. Food was kind of classic too but in a good way. I can't fault it, everything was full of flavour, never boring. Staff was friendly and efficient.

Holiday treat! - Edit
We are on holiday in Brighton so decided to treat ourselves to Terre a Terre.
Read moreI knew about it from legend. My partner went once ten years ago.
We were well looked after and enjoyed three courses with matching drinks.
It was expensive, but the food was the best I have ever eaten. A holiday treat!
The only non-vegan restaurant I'll rate with five stars.
Pros: Central location , Excellent service , Exquisite food
Cons: Expensive , Not a vegan restaurant

A disappointing visit - Edit
This restaurant needs to up its game, there is plenty of competition in Brighton.
Read moreRestaurant needs a make over, looks very dated.
They have a good and varied vegetarian choice, but limited vegan choices and both so overpriced.
I was expecting something special but left feeling very disappointed.
Pros: A couple of vegan choices, Good location, Friendly staff
Cons: So over priced, not worth the money , Disappointing vegan choices, No wow factor

Good, but lacking that wow-factor - Edit
We had mixed shared tapas to taste much from their menu. We were not blown away by the flavors, which we would expect for a high prices fine dining restaurant. The staff is friendly and the service is quite fast. They would be able to improve by adding some decorative interior and upgrade the furniture to create the right ambience. Also I missed a vegan cheese platter.

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!).
