Loro's Bistro

You're walking down Lewes Road past the usual suspects when you spot Loro's tucked in amongst the neighbourhood joints that actually matter. It's the kind of place where they've clearly thought about what they're doing—the food lands, the wine list makes sense, and nobody's trying too hard. The vibe sits somewhere between your mate's dinner party and a proper restaurant, which is exactly where Brighton's best cooking happens these days. Expect proper Italian influences, seasonal thinking, and the sort of place you'll actually want to come back to.
