Unfortunately, not completely Terre a Terre's fault, I had not the nicest of meals here. The place was packed on arrival but we managed to get the last table yet as soon as i sat down i wanted to leave, it was so damn hot in there! the windows were covered in condensation. Not exactly what you want whilst you're eating. The staff were friendly, but I would have to agree with Review_Mouse, that they tend not to leave you alone, a little privacy please! I love veggie food and was excited by what id heard about terre a terre. However, i told the waitress specifically that i couldnt eat anything with peppers in it, as im allergic. She reassured me the dishes we chose (including the meze platter to share and then the rosti) that there was none at all. I very much enjoyed the food, perhaps a little too rich though. However two hours after, I ended up throwing up violently at my friends party - yes there was pepper in the food. Didnt exactly put the best finish to the night! Id have to say, Food for Friends is just round the corner, far cheaper and the food is far better!]]> Mon, 17 Nov 2008 16:34:18 +0000 /review/uk/brighton/restaurant/1o5287y/terre-a-terre1284888707 expensive vegetarian 50.81974504208 -0.14021035573861 Carluccio's - review by missynm http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/brighton/restaurant/1l32a8h/carluccio-s

Theres do doubting this is a lovely restaurant. The first time I went I had the spaghetti with clams and i think my jaw dropped, one of the best pasta dishes id ever had thats for sure. A friend and I used to pop in for a coffee and some side orders (student budget!) because we'd fallen in love with the rosemary potatoes and cold french beans. But I dont know if its unfair to say that its maybe not as good anymore...the last time we went the flavours I experienced before just wasn't quite there. But thats probably being a bit harsh, there's definitely worse Italian restaurants around!]]> Wed, 12 Nov 2008 20:29:57 +0000 /review/uk/brighton/restaurant/1l32a8h/carluccio-s828401369 italian 50.824216385145 -0.13861276914864 Indian Summer - review by sithlord http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/brighton/restaurant/1i5ep7/indian-summer

The Indian summer is great, lovely rich, flavour some food that begs you to come back for more time and time again. The menu is good not just for meat based dishes but has a good deal of vegetarian options that are as tasty as anything else on the menu, so the vege eating guests are not fobbed off with poor tasting after thoughts. Indian summer well worth going to, we all had a good evening here.
The allo panier, which are potatoes & paneer cooked to a traditional receipe are good and they come served with roti and lemon rice. The peshwari lamb shoulder in a marinade which is infused with wonderful spices is very nice as well. I you still have room for a sweet treat then try the ginger pudding with ginger brandy sauce & iced apple fool it is such a good combination of tastes that really go well together.

Terre a terre is busy and always has been popular trading with ease and has enjoyed plenty of repeat business from enthusiastic customers. The food has been a bit hit and miss when I last went with friends at lunch time and we were not as happy as we have been before, but maybe thats just us, we were in a hurry and had to wait a bit longer than we had time for, possibly it was not the Terres fault, more our own lack of forward planning. But we then had to rush to finish or meal and this left us feeling a bit woozy and over stuffed. I will say that it has been better and we should have skipped it that day, but as I say our fault really. Will give it another try some time and see how we feel then, hopefully it will be as good as it was before.]]> Tue, 07 Oct 2008 00:26:17 +0000 /review/uk/brighton/restaurant/1o5287y/terre-a-terre118009203 50.81974504208 -0.14021035573861 Indian Summer - review by cheesecake4pud http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/brighton/restaurant/1i5ep7/indian-summer

Hmmmmmm! What can I say? My boyfriend had this place recommended to us as 'an excellent indian' - but it's like no other curry house I've ever been to. Food was amazing - we didnt talk about anything else all night and have recommended this place to everyone we know. You HAVE to try the passion fruit creme brulee or the duck breast. Out of this world. A tiny bit more spendy than your average curry night but so worth it - staff are spot on, nice little surprises throughout the meal in between courses and great atmosphere. Shame we aren't more local, would be there a lot! Great place for a first date too.]]> Sat, 27 Sep 2008 15:24:22 +0000 /review/uk/brighton/restaurant/1i5ep7/indian-summer1414374783 indian good value 50.81974504208 -0.14021035573861 Terre a Terre - review by Review_Mouse http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/brighton/restaurant/1o5287y/terre-a-terre

I visited this restaurant for a meal with my boyfriend as a special treat. Neither of us are vegetarian but love vegetarian food and had heard so many good things about this place we were keen to try it out.

The place was quiet when we went so we had attentive service although I felt it was a little too friendly and over familiar (the kind when a waiter/waitress leans on your chair and 'chats' or interrupts after your first mouthful to check "hey guys is everything ok here" and then again 2mins later..)
We opted to share a meze platter at a cost of £17.50 each and we were assured it would be plenty for 2. It wasn't. Yes it was amazing and beautifully presented and fiddly, but damn, it was 80% leaves and that isnâ¬"t going to fill you up! My boyfriend was so hungry he also had to order a side bowl of chunky chips ⬠erk! Not what we had in mind.
Anyway, I never normally get a dessert when eating out because I am usually too full, but we both ended up needing something more. I had a dessert which turned out to be donut sticks with a pot of bitter chocolate and vodka ⬠the sort of thing where despite being hungry; you have one mouthful and feel sick itâ¬"s so much.
Oh dear, maybe we just chose wrong. Shame because the meze *was* tasty and something of a work of art! Maybe Iâ¬"ll return when I can afford to have a meze platter to myself, but until then Iâ¬"d rather get more for my money elsewhere.

I don't live near this some so its a bit of a trek to get to it. However i can confirm its certainly worth the trouble! They have a huge stock of the most gorgeous food. Some gan be obtained in other shops in the main town, but there is no other shop which houses them all like Fanny's does! Their baguettes are to die for, they takes absolutely gorgeous and i also really like their latte, it has a fantastic flavour - better than nearly all coffee shops! Fanny's is also perfect for getting someone a unique food based present - lots of jars with things it always goes down well!]]> Sun, 14 Sep 2008 18:21:38 +0000 /review/uk/brighton/food/1f23171/fanny-s-of-hanover992030717 delicatessen bargain rare finds 50.831431 -0.128504 Terre a Terre - review by Trotters http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/brighton/restaurant/1o5287y/terre-a-terre

I'm not used to vegetarian food but it was absolutely wonderful! The staff were brilliant and attentive but not 'in your face'. Expensive but well worth it as a special treat. We shared our meals and were made to feel very comfortable. Our first bottle of wine wasn't corked, but wasn't 'quite right' and was immediately changed without any fuss at all. Would highly recommend the place. I went on a Tuesday evening and it was busy - best to book I would suggest.]]> Wed, 10 Sep 2008 12:00:26 +0000 /review/uk/brighton/restaurant/1o5287y/terre-a-terre942576804 50.81974504208 -0.14021035573861 Cafe Paradiso - review by anilascot2008 http://trustedplaces.com/review/ireland/cork/restaurant/1o4287z/cafe-paradiso

This is a great restaurant to visit for vegetarians, it is really nice to be able to go out and spend an evening in a nice restaurant without having to worry at all about what could be in the food! A lot of things have hidden meat ingredients (i.e. chicken stock in an otherwise innocent looking vegetable soup etc!) but at least there will be no bad surprises like that here.

the food is top quality, very nice, there is also a selection of nice drinks to choose from.

The restaurant is situated in a very nice area as well, right near the River Lee so there is plenty of scenery to admire while you are eating your nice cruelty-free dinner!

Considering a well-known chef runs this restaurant the prices aren't too bad, although fairly expensive, you don't need a second mortgage to eat here!]]> Thu, 04 Sep 2008 23:22:49 +0000 /review/ireland/cork/restaurant/1o4287z/cafe-paradiso673623680 51.897166 -8.481926 Carluccio's - review by kittieskitchen http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/brighton/restaurant/1l32a8h/carluccio-s

I've came here for breakfast, brunch or lunch a handful of times, and always left feeling somewhat underwhelmed.

Don't get me wrong, it's a nice enough place, the staff are friendly, and the food tasty... but somehow there is something missing to pull me back time after time.

The coffee is excellent, but maybe the food choice too limited? I know the cafe layout is intentionally so, but I can't help but feel it a little sparse.

The little deli at the front is fab though - if a little overpriced!]]> Fri, 22 Aug 2008 15:53:36 +0000 /review/uk/brighton/restaurant/1l32a8h/carluccio-s1159235575 italian good value 50.824216385145 -0.13861276914864 Terre a Terre - review by clair777 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/brighton/restaurant/1o5287y/terre-a-terre

Is Terre a Terre becoming complacent? After several years of winning awards and generally being regarded as one of Brighton's best, the new menu is left wanting. The food is now either overly experimental with poorly chosen flavours that clash on the palate or far too basic, using cheap and simple ingredients thrown together with lacking inspiration. The menu is full of the usual spin of course, designed to wow us with it's knowledge of unusual ingredients, but in reality, what you get is no better than something you could rustle up in the kitchen yourself on a busy friday night. One haloumi kebab with a bit of fried potato on the side?! Is that really worth £15?
The service is, as always, polite, helpful and friendly. Yet, we left there recently feeling like we'd been ripped off. Having frequented the place for years, we won't be going back until we've heard that it's worth that little bit extra. At an average of £70 for a two course meal for 2 with a bottle of wine and tip, it's worth spending your hard earned cash elsewhere if you are looking for value for money and a full stomach. The portions are very small, apart from the classic rosti of course, and that's only worth trying once. The side dishes cost extra and even the (weak) coffee is served in the tiniest cups available.
Terre a Terre may still be booked up for now, but for how much longer can they ride on their previous success? Shame.]]> Tue, 27 May 2008 00:09:18 +0000 /review/uk/brighton/restaurant/1o5287y/terre-a-terre857018633 expensive vegetarian 50.81974504208 -0.14021035573861 Terre a Terre - review by caxtonian http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/brighton/restaurant/1o5287y/terre-a-terre

I have it on good authority (a French friend) that Terre a Terre roughly translated means:
[ésprit] matter-of-fact
[personne] down to earth
[préoccupations] mundane, workaday, prosaic

Terre a Terre is anything but the above. More extraordinary than ordinary their food is presented beautifully, and true to form tastes as fabulous as it appears on the plate. which it won't do for long.

One of the most delightful aspects of this restaurant is also its location. Set atop of one of the main streets on Brighton's East Street this is a people watching opportunity at its best! Inside the space is light and airy with high ceilings and clean lines that set a chic ambiance suitable for friends, romance and even taking your parents to.

The only criticism that I can possibly come up with is if you dine with meat eaters, but if they cannot appreciate the delicate flavours, presentation and delectable delights that are on the menu then truly they are missing out. This is not bland vegetarian food; these are sophisticated flavours with the added hint of a seductive presentation.

Which leaves one wondering: Why can't all food be like this?]]> Fri, 04 Apr 2008 08:44:52 +0000 /review/uk/brighton/restaurant/1o5287y/terre-a-terre1164418817 lively good value vegetarian romantic 50.81974504208 -0.14021035573861 Terre a Terre - review by PhilB http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/brighton/restaurant/1o5287y/terre-a-terre
