For all the foodies in town – Visting Nostos Hove
Holland Road sits at the end of Western Road and the beginning of Church Road, so the location couldn’t be more convenient for foodies both in Hove and Brighton. Inside, the restaurant moves away from a traditional taverna in style, heading in the direction of a modern and bright interior.
Welcoming to all
Across the front of the restaurant, floor to ceiling windows create an airy atmosphere with a view of Brighton’s iconic Palmeira Square, while inside stylish tiled floors, simple furniture and suspended wine racks adorned with foliage add something special to the feel of this restaurant.
Fresh flavours
Nostos Hove guarantees a fresh and full flavour for every dish on the menu, with everything prepared on site daily and the kitchen being dedicated to quality ingredients. The concept behind the menu at Nostos lies with roots deep in rich Greek heritage, taking inspiration from culinary Greece as well as modern-day techniques and flavours.
Vegetarian and Vegan
Nostos Hove brings a new feel to Greek cuisine by pulling the love the country has for fresh fruit and vegetables and showcasing that on the menu here in the South Coast. Often, Greek food is associated with grilled meats and fish with little thought given to the vast array of vegetable dishes Greeks eat daily.
Traditional Greek with a twist
On the Nostos menu the love for fresh fruit and vegetables is evident, with over half the dishes being vegan and vegetarian. Dine in true Greek style, sharing dishes with friends chosen from each section of the menu. Starters, salads, sides and spreads are available alongside main dishes, meaning visitors to Nostos Hove are in for a real Mediterranean feast. You may also wish to try their incredible range of Greek desserts including Baklava which is one of our favourites.
Go for the Greek wine
Let’s not forget about the brilliant wine list on offer, with a selection of delicious handpicked wines from all over the world to compliment your meal. Of course, Greek wines feature strongly on the drinks list, however, you will also find Italian, French and Argentinian wines too. Cocktails, cider, milkshakes, as well as tea and coffee, are also available, meaning everyone will find something they are into.
Paidiá
Sparing a thought for the little ones, parents will be pleased to hear there are no chicken dippers in sight at Nostos. Choose from fresh fish and chips, tomato pasta or meatballs served in a pita, all made in house with fresh ingredients daily.

Getting There
INFO
We used Nostos to cater for our staff away day and I cannot recommend enough. The food was delicious, presented beautifully and catered to a wide range of dietary requirements. We have booked again for this summer!
Simply irresistible, especially the vegan moussaka and red mullet, the restaurant was basking in sun light through its huge 3 double fold doors. We love Hove and this is a prime spot to watch it go by and having delicious food
Found Nostos this lunchtime by chance and can’t believe we had not found it before. All aspects of our visit were fantastic with the welcome, service, surroundings and food. This will now be a regular place to visit in the future. I would highly recommend.
Great quality on the food, we ve only had a take away but it was exeptionally well cooked and the portions very generous! Also very good vegan options! cant want to visit after the 12th of April!
The food is amazing and the service is 5 stars! We will be using them for takeaways during the lockdown.
Yesterday I had an excellent, authentic Greek lunch. There was even real Greek coffee. I felt very safe because the restaurant had excellent Covid 19 precautions. I will definitely return to enjoy more of the excellent menu. Ann
wow these guys know how to cook! we ve booked last weekend and although they were busy we felt really safe with all the covid related protections ( screens, face shields for the staff, etc) the food was superb, fresh and gorgeous looking :)) we will be back with friends
We love Nostos we have had most of our team lunch and dinner meetings at their premises. Food is amazing and the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable
Incredible Greek food in Hove, fresh and innovative! Well done guys
10 out of 10. The chef cooks really well. Well done. I will definitely come back. It’s the best Greek restaurant in Sussex in my opinion.
One of the best restaurants in Brighton and Hove. Sunday lunch and the roast ( kleftiko ) was one of the best i had in years. Top quality food with fresh and local ingredients. Lots of vegan, vegetarian options and child friendly! Keep up the good job Nostos!!
As mentioned on my comment is maybe the best Greek restaurant! Sorry my rating was wrong! Totally a five star one!
The Greek cuisine has finally a new home in Brighton&Hove! Being myself Greek and a foodie, I would highly recommend this gem of modern Greek gastronomy! If you are looking for an authentic Greek dining experience that’s the place!
Amazing food by head Chef Alexandros. Great location in Hove, Nostos has the capacity to become one of the best restaurants in Brighton and Hove
A lovely place with the perfect balance of good food and service. Great ambiance as well
Superb restaurant in Hove that reinvents Greek food and delivers a unique dining experience
Authentic Greek flavors but with a modern feel. We loved everything we tried and the wine (we picked one from Greece) was also exceptional. Everyone on our table was well catered for as the menu includes very interesting options for vegans and vegetarians. Would definitely recommend and will be back 🙂
Thank you for a great evening . Food was beyond amazing and you were all so friendly . The restaurant looks great I specifically loved the picture on the walls . We are coming back soon
Unexpectedly seriously good food by Greek restaurant Nostos in Hove!
I am not a fan of the Greek cuisine outside Greece for the simple reason that the ingredients are not the same and not as tasty as the ones grown under the loving Greek sun rays! Today i was proven wrong! Chef Alexandros categorically convinced me that ingredients can be bent to ones will and can indeed deliver an authentic culinary experience! Bravo to the Nostos team for a truly inspiring evening!
Really nice restaurant.
Food it’s really tasty and cooked nicely, good and welcoming service.
Highly recommended.
Definitely will came back
