Botanique, its younger sibling, is in nearby Hove. Top Menu Tip – “I hope the sweetcorn is on the menu forever”.
Summary
“Quite the most unassuming restaurant with the most superb chef”, this veggie veteran in the Lanes (est. 1981) is “consistently creative, always delicious – and if it was in London you’d never get a table!”. These days it has a spinoff, Botanique in nearby Hove.

For 32 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

Food for Friends Restaurant Diner Reviews
"Nice bao bun starter but the curry mains were both disappointing and service was a bit slow."
"This place seems to come highly recommended by locals. Glam, romantic (in the evening anyway) veggie restaurant with flawless presentation and a banging soundtrack at an acceptable volume. Friendly waitress and absolutely gorgeous, stunning, colourful food. Even though this restaurant really is a splurge, if you're a fan of vegetarian food, this place pleases visually and in flavor. So long story short this is great, even for carnivores. Food for Friends can turn you into a vegetarian (…well, maybe just for a day)!"
