Befries

Being a big fan of chips, I just had to try this place out. When my husband and I arrived, we were immediately greeted by a very friendly member of staff. We were soon informed of portions sizes and what sauces were available. We opted for medium portions of chips and several different sauces - sate, frites sauce, garlic mayonnaise, dill & mustard mayonnaise and a few others. We took a seat and very soon after we were brought our food. We were told that if we ran out of any of the sauces to let them know so that they could top us up. I must say that the chips are really very nice indeed. They have just the right ratio of fluffiness to crispness. The sauces are what really make it though - they are absolutely delicious. The sate sauce is particularly nice - so nice that we had to have seconds. The slight downsides are that the only drinks that they have available are bottles that you can buy from a cabinet by the front door which I feel cheapens it a little. Additionally, they could do with a little more seating.

Befries has recently opened at the top of West street and it's a great little addition to the city. This is a no nonsense chippy where all you get are chips and wow are the chips good. Stopped here for a quick little pit stop after spending some time in the city centre and fell in love straight away, the staff greeted us with a genuine smile and the person taking our order took us through the menu of sauces and explained the sizing for the chips, small is for a snack, a medium is a good size and large is for those who are really hungry. Both my wife and I opted for a medium however on reflection we should have gone for a large each, we under estimated our own hunger! That isn't knocking the portion size, we were just really hungry! The chips are fried twice and they are soooo good. Extra crispy on the outside and nice and fluffy in the inside. The perfect chip!! There are several choices of sauces to smother your chips with, and if you dine within the restaurant you can have as many sauces as you want with free refills. Between the two of us we opted for the Belgian mayonnaise as it was essential for eating Belgian fries, the frites sauce (a lighter mayonnaise with something amazing within it) Sate (satay for those of us who aren't Belgian) the Sambal which has a nice kick to it and also the limited edition mayo and dill pickle (similar to the Big Mac sauce but nicer) I have to say each sauce was amazing but the all out winner has to be the Sate!! Do want to go back and try more of the sauces though!! There are only a few negatives, the first being a lack of seating, however I think the restaurant are addressing this as I overheard one of the staff say to another customer they are ordering in more seating. I don't think they expected so many people to want to sit in and eat food that is predominantly a take away eat as you walk thing. The next small negative was there were limited range of drinks and they all seemed a bit too expensive. Finally, as we were leaving we noticed a potential disabled customer attempting to get into the restaurant however there was no ramp for her wheelchair to go over so they just had to look on from the outside.

Wonderful friendly helpful staff! Who totally put up with my indecisive I don’t know what I want situation :) Amazing food! The seitan chicken cashew Mac 😉😉n cheese was the ONE…. Lew had the really sticky burger with “black sesame seeds and Korean bbq sauce with apple slaw! F****ng great ! Real zingy” We could have had some amazing looking deserts but after breakfast at the green kitchen we didn’t feel worthy 😂😂😂 DAPPA milkshakes from Monday! I got a sneak preview shake! SO LICKY… Timings a beaut

My wife and I visited Brighton specifically to visit here and we were not disappointed. The choice was incredible - making sure we visit again to enjoy more of the menu. My wife enjoyed her burger, especially the sauce and coating, however the texture of the seitan was not to her liking. Both the carbonara and Mac n Cheese were extremely tasty and filling. I added extra bacon to my Mac n Cheese and I'm glad I did. The coating on the 'chicken' was crunchy and flavoursome. If you're into spice, go for the Buffalo wings! They are hot with a warmth that keeps coming. I cannot wait until we visit again!

Loved the food. Definitely some of the best vegan food in Brighton! The Mac and cheese was amazing and loved that the seitan burger looked like a smile from the side 😁 you definitely have to visit if you’re in Brighton!

Went here last year in August. Ordered the tenders and the chicken burger which had hash brown and piled high with other bits and pieces. Super yummy and flavourful. Had a lotus biscoff milkshake which was mouthwatering too. Amazing food, ignore the other reviews here!

Great vegan food! The vegan sticky wings were amazingly good! The loo were not working so had to sneak to Waterstones across the road. Loved the rustic vibes but thought that the paper bag deco could be lower so we can admire them better... at the time we visited, the paperbags were behind the lampshade...
