Due South
139 King's Road Arches, Brighton, East Sussex, 01273 821218

Organic, top-quality eatery in an unlikely seafront location. It's not the fact that the staff are as friendly as you like, or that the fresh flavours make each dish a treat, or that the wine list's just so - it's all of the above, and more.

The Soupçon
High Street, Old Town, Hastings, East Sussex, 01424 434348

The cuisine is French, the menu is short but full of flavour. Starters include fish soup, gravadlax with onion mousse and warm goats' cheese salad with walnuts. For mains, try fillet steak with sauce Bordelaise or coquille de poisson. Round things off with a compôte of fruit, crème brûlée or cheese. And all for £19.60, excluding drinks.

A fine fish restaurant where the menu, wine list and atmosphere all encourage you to take your time. Good value, too.
