Was recommended by locals for their fish and chips – and they do not disappoint! Flakey fresh cod, chunky chips and fresh garden peas. We also ordered their seafood pasta which was packed with flavour. Grilled prawns and scallops were fresh and portions were humongous (were asians so they are huge to us)
Had their draft ales and were very quenching indeed. Had a wonderful meal and their staffs were ever attentive and always checked on us throughout dinner. Perfect start for dinner when visiting brighton.

I traveled all the way from London to Brighton specifically for their pasta, and it was worth every mile. It is hands down some of the best seafood pasta I’ve had in a long time. The tomato base had that perfect, vibrant balance—sweet, acidic, and rich. Since the pasta is fresh, it grips the sauce beautifully, allowing the natural briny sweetness of the seafood to blend perfectly into every bite.
We also ordered the seafood platter, which was incredibly fresh and aromatic. You can really taste the quality of the catch here. Beyond the food, the service was top-notch—the staff were so warm and professional that they actually made me like Brighton even more as a city.
It’s one of those rare places where you finish your meal and immediately wish you could eat it every single day. If you are in Brighton (or even if you aren’t!), this place is an absolute must-visit. Truly a perfect dining experience.

We had 1/2 oysters as starters, the sword fish and whole seabream with boiled potatoes/chips, they were absolutely fresh and delicious! The oysters taste like the sea, they were so good, is a 100% coming back!! If ypu are mediterranean, you will see why this place for fish/seafood is absolutely worth it 🙂

The Regency is famed for its range of sea food dishes so alongside the fish and chips, we also had the garlic butter scallops. The fish and chips were fried to perfection, crispy fish and fluffy chips, the curry sauce had a nice spicy, sweetness to it. The Garlic Butter Scallops were very fresh and tasted delicious. Overall pleased with my experience, but my only criticism is that the portion sizes are quite small for the price, personally would have appreciated a bigger fish and more chips for the price paid. That being said, Regency Seafood is very busy and it seems to be the place to go in Brighton for tourists, locals and celebrities alike. Take a look at the customers and you will see a range of nations enjoying their food, mixed in with the locals. Also take a walk to Regency’s downstairs bathroom and you can see their wall of fame littered with famous faces from around the world, they really have had everybody pass through their doors, one patron that caught my eye was Hideo Kojima, yes, THAT Hideo Kojima, well, if it’s good enough for Hideo Kojima, it gets my vote.

Great atmosphere with friendly staff, efficient service and great seafood. We were a party of 5 calling in unexpectedly after 9pm on a cold December evening and received a warm welcome with a range of different dishes served promptly and hot. Large portions meant not all plates were cleared. Will definitely call again on our next visit to Brighton. Location is on the seafront close to the Brighton Centre – handy for a meal before or after.

In Brighton for a week with my students I chose this restaurant for the last evening meal. I booked a table for two by a window. As soon as you enter this place you are pleasantly overwhelmed by the smell of fish based dishes. I had a starter, a delicious fish soup and a main course that I shared with my colleague – The Mediterranean with hake, mussels, clams, scallops and King prawns. The staff is welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend this place in Brighton if you look for something different from fish and chips.

The food was overall quite good, and the restaurant itself is beautifully designed with a luxurious ambiance. We were seated inside, which was still pleasant, but dining outdoors would definitely elevate the experience with the fresh air and stunning surroundings. The staff was attentive and provided excellent service, adding to the overall enjoyment of our meal. A lovely spot for a refined dining experience!

Had our celebration dinner after completing the London to Brighton ride 2025. The staff were wonderful and kindly let us lock our bikes within sight, right between the outdoor tables and the restaurant window. It was the perfect spot to enjoy a heartwarming, delicious meal while the rain came down outside—just what we needed before heading home

The restaurant was packed but still managed to find a table for the 6 of us. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We all had fish and chips (£14.50)
fish tasted nice, but portion sizes weren’t the same for everyone. Comes with chips only; mushy peas are an extra £1.95. Oysters were excellent and worth trying. Overall, a bit overpriced for me.
