Reviews

  1. Irish Mike

    This is an amazing place, I would rate 5 star. The team are all very welcoming and I had a small dog with me. He was made to feel very welcome also.
    We have delicious cakes & tea.

  2. Agnese Mosconi

    With warm colours, and natural materials, Lost in the Lanes interior is modern, stylish, spacious, and calming.
    It’s your mini-lunch retreat in the middle of town. You are suddenly projected in a holiday-like environment.
    The menu is approachable and sophisticated at the same time, with classic Pan-European dishes meticulously chosen to bring simple flavours together in harmony.
    I was simply amazed by the Ajo Blanco, a white Gazpacho, a symphony of green and white flavours combining vegetables, unforgettable texture and taste together.
    It’s not easy to make a healthy dish so tasty. The pickled grapes were the cherry on the cake.
    I will be back.

    Wednesday lunchtime menu was a real treat and a total surprise, from beetroot and daikon pickles to the sumptuous, buttery hake. The crispy potatoes with truffle and rosemary salt were only just the right side of decadent, will be getting lost again very soon.

  4. Georgia

    Popped in for a brunch with a couple of colleagues and found LOST never fails to impress, from the warm welcome, to the stylish interior, speciality coffee, gorgeous tableware and fresh chef cooked food. Ordered the veggie LOST breakfast plus a side of crispy potatoes with truffle, rosemary and lemon… divine. Shame didn’t have room left for one of the cakes, made by head chef James Lavell. It’s a rare treat in Brighton to find somewhere so cosy yet so special and contemporary. Thank you LOST team for making a regular occasion into such a delicious morning. Will pop back for the luscious sounding slow cooked pork soon. Yum.

    Their brunches are so good! We tried the Turkish brunch box and it’s a journey through taste sensation – proper quality, gorgeous food with amazing attention to detail.

  6. Brittany Hart

    I had Tide by Lost in the Lanes and I was absolutely blown away! Would 100% recommend to anyone, but especially anyone craving some authentic Southern American delicious. It was a little taste of New Orleans, yum.

  8. Massimo Vetriani
