It's essentially Italian tapas - small dishes such as a couple of meatballs in sauce, which is great if you're with friends or family as sharing is encouraged. The food was delicious and cooked to perfection; the only downside is the price! It was rather pricey for the small amount of tiny dishes my friend and I ordered, but you do get what you pay for. It isn't a place I would visit regularly as it is definitely a place to treat yourself with! Overall however when you do decide to make a visit, you won't be disappointed. Just don't be shocked at the prices!

You see, the fantastically named King Alfonso the XIII of Spain once observed a waiter put a piece of palma ham over his wine glass to prevent a fly from landing in it. The king found the combination pleasant, and so his court members imitated him, and (apparently) the tapas + drink combo was born! To celebrate this, you get a small tapas and bread with every bottle of beer or glass of wine you buy here, meaning pub crawlers can quell your beer induced hunger while enjoying more alcohol... Well that's probably not the intention, but it certainly works well! Outside of the small bar and free tapas, Aguadulce is a well presented restaurant with up and downstairs seating, that seemed a little on the quite side when I was there... There aren't many Spanish restaurants around, so if you do fancy some traditional Spanish food then Aguadulce ought to hit the spot!

Holy le wow. This place is seriously, seriously, good…read more A range of both standard and unusual tapas. The unusual include a brace of octopods, pig's trotters, morcilla, and squids. Everything's flavoured up with lovely chorizo, and there is excellent leg of pig on the bone, cut in mouthwatering paper-thin slices. They pick up local food and do it with their own style as well -- we found fried mackerel from which you could taste the sea. The flavour of the barnyard or sea was there, just round the corner. These are the best tapas I've found in Britain. At reasonable prices. With friendly service. And convenient. To those in Brighton.

The staff were really jolly, the place had just opened and it had a real buzz about it. We have had a lot of tapas and this hit the upper middle ground for me, which is very very good. The atmosphere makes this place, I like to have a lot of space, and I do like have 'Happy Birthday' played to me Spanish guitar stylee. I also like to be surprised by a Creme Brûlée with a birthday candle in. The lighting is nice and low-lit, and at the end of it all the price was right (though I didn't foot the bill, thanks mate), I left feeling very happy and giggling from the sparkly stuff and Sangria. This place is also open till 2am on a Friday and Saturday, I love late night bar hopping and with snacks as good as these makes it a perfect midnight stop off.

Our choices of fish, vegetable and meat varied with success. For instance the John Dory fish with fennel and ragu with egg yolk over fettuccine was reluctantly shared. + Service is awesome. That meant the host greeted us and advised us of an opening that evening. Plates were cleared timely. Orders taken promptly. Dishes executed with precision. + Atmosphere is my speed. I like cozy. That meant 10 seats at the bar and perhaps another 10-15 on the floor. + Bar seating allows you to watch the chef and sous chef prepare the dishes. It's part of the culinary journey. Small taste on small plate -'s: - Not cheap. Each small plate ranged from 7-15. However we left full after sharing five small plates. - Some plates didn't come out as successfully as others. For example the beef rib was somewhat dry despite all the sauces. TIP: Reservations highly recommended. Seating is tight and best for parties of 1-2. Grab a seat at the bar if you want to watch preparations. TRIVIA: Michael Bremner's restaurant ranked #36 in 2014 and #24 in 2015 in the National Restaurant Awards Top 100 List.

The 'Thai Tapas' dishes are exactly what you would expect - the same concept as Spanish tapas, with small portions that you can combine to make a meal. There is a lot more to this place than that though - main dishes are also good. I went for the standard green curry, and it would certainly give any other Thai place in this city a run for its money. They also do a lunch deal for around a fiver for 2 courses. Service could have been faster when I visited, but that might just have been bad luck.

This lovely little Thai Tapas restaurant is suitably Brightonian: tasty, expensive and a little…read morepeculiar. The quality of the food is excellent, but big prices for little meals means this Thai restaurant falls a little short. Mai Ped Ped Ped (meaning Quite Hot, Very Hot) certainly lives up to its name: the food is tangy, more often falling on the overly-spicy rather than the pleasantly-hot side of the palate. Unfortunately, this is a splinter in the side of their main concept. Lots of small plates that border on too-spicy-to-eat mean that the food can't be enjoyed quickly, nor that the multitude of flavours sit well on a burning tongue. However, it's not like the whole thing falls apart: if the tapas-angle is ignored, the conventional main menu certainly has a lot going for it. I particularly recommend the Drunken Duck (duck cooked in spirits): absolutely top nosh. Everything else I've tried is very tasty, but not particularly memorable: generally, spiciness is the all-pervading flavour. If that sounds overly negative, I certainly don't mean it to: if you're a fan a spicy Thai, Mai Ped Ped Ped certainly has a lot to offer, and could not be more centrally located. It doesn't jostle too heavily with any of the other Market Square/Lanes offerings, and is a great place to start an evening: spicy often leads to much beer consumption on my part! A quick final comment: make sure you get seated upstairs. The restructured town-house ambiance of Mai Ped Ped Ped, while suitably jovial, means that the downstairs area, next to the kitchen, often gets a little humid. Be warned! UPDATE: My fiancee wanted me to add that the Thai Green Curry is the best she's ever had, and well worth the price!
