Went here yesterday for lunch while visiting Brighton for the first time -- because all you can eat vegetarian buffet! (With two very nice meat options too, but I was mainly there for the veg.) The pesto spinach and beetroot were especially phenomenal, but everything else (except the pasta maybe) was really flavorful too. Service was nice enough, only reason I'm giving four stars is because my melon smoothie was a bit of a disappointment, especially in terms of texture. But great value, healthy food is definitely to be had here. read more

One of my favourite all you can eat places. For under seven pounds you get to sample a small range of food. There are usually fifteen or so items to eat and usually they are all really yummy. Of those dishes usually only one of them is meat, so this place is quite vegetarian-friendly (I took a vegetarian friend of mine there and he really enjoyed it). Because the food is cheap and really good this place can get really busy, so don't forget about the back part of the restaurant. read more

I usually expect to leave a restaurant broke or starving and on a few woeful occasions I have managed to do both. This place has solved the quality/quantity dichotomy. Fill your face for less than seven quid and it's all tasty stuff. You'll have to pay an extra £3 for a pudding but greedy guts will probably have little room left for apple cake or chocolate terrine after generous helpings of spinach and mushroom salad, grilled peppers, fennel, red onion, courgettes and aubergine followed by bacon wrapped with chicken stuffed with feta cheese and spinach. read more

I can understand why Foodilic is some people's worst nightmare, but I love the informalness of it all! It seems a cafe more suited to Brighton's North Laines area, but it's location doesn't stop it becoming extremely busy. The all you can eat buffet set up is pretty hectic. There isn't really a queue system and when it's busy it can become a bit "dog eat dog". The food tastes great and fresh though! There is always a wide selection and a couple of varying salads as well as some regulars. The value for money really is fantastic as well! £6.45 for as much as you want! The staff aren't particularly friendly and they want to get you in and out as quickly as possible. But the hecticness I think adds to the charm? If it became too organised it would lose its Brighton-free spiritedness! I've never saved enough room to try any of the desserts but they look great. Meringues the size of your head! If you like to have an organised lunch, give this place a miss! If you like informality and quick food you will love it though! read more

Nice comfy surroundings, intimate, upstairs is the best seating hidden away.... A fresh healthy buffet for meat eaters or veggies, makes a nice change loads of different salads all nicely dressed and tasty its not for people watching calories its flavour packed and well seasoned!!! Great for lunch or to break up a long day of retail therapy... I came here for dinner once but I didnt feel it was hearty enough, its all light perfect for when you dont want weighing down with BIG food!! read more

I like that Foodilic exclusively caters for healthy eating - a large majority of restaurants and cafes focus on eating fatty foods and it means going out with friends can be difficult if you're trying to eat healthily. This place is really great to go to in that regard although it is really stuffy in there and ALWAYS busy so it's a bit cramped. Also I personally just wasn't that keen on the food on offer - it's healthy, but it's not especially exciting. read more

fantastic food, for vegetarian and meat-eaters alike. I loved everything on offer and delighted in the individual tastes. I've been trying to replicate the bean salad ever since, unsuccessfully. I'd recommend this place to anyone. read more

Very disappointed by Foodilic as I found out that they put cheese in pretty much every salad and in their potatoes and butter in their grilled veg... This is not needed nor healthy, their salads are dripping with oil anyway, so don't fool yourself with the green... I'd rather pay more and go to Infinity Food! read more

THE FIRST TIME AND THE LAST TIME! My partner and I just had a takeaway from there and it was the most expensive, overrated selection of bland vegetables. From the moment we turned up there was no real system in place, everyone was bumping into each other, sleeves were dunking in the spinach. The service was awful aswell, no member of staff acknowledge our presence in the cafe, they were running past us, we were tempted to walk out, no one would of seen. Eventually when our payment was accepted a small tiny box came to £11. £11 pound I ask you, is disgusting, it was basically just an assortment of vegetables, that you can buy at sainsburys across the road for cheaper. No real seasoning, we all had to do that at home after, just spinach, and roasted veg with alot of olive oil. Avoid with caution, go to IYDEA in the north Laines instead, better food, better value. read more

My faverate restaurant in brighton and im not even vegitarian. There are a couple of meet dishes. Great please to eat after a long cycle in brighton. read more

The one on the Hove end of Western rd is much better than the original branch, Good healthy choices and great selection of salads.

In brighton yesterday - easter saturday - place was heaving with folks and loads of eats places but stumbled upon foodilic -- what a great find. My wife and I has a fab meal - loads of choices/great meat options - lamb, chicken, beef. And the salads were heavenly and I dont like salads much. VFM - outstanding, friendly staff - outstanding. Came away satiated and feeling great without overeating. Although eat as much as you like it doesnt lend itself to you being piggy but the lentils, chick peas, aubergines etc were scrummy!! Pity there aint one in Southampton or Portsmouth area - WELL WORTH THE MONEY - go there you wil not be disappointed - so much better than the usual plastic places we usually eat. 2 meals, a great sweet and 2 drinks - less than £19 -- mega read more

This restaurant nestled at the centre of Brighton has an 'all you can eat' system. All the food at this restaurant are healthy and of a good quality. The selection of food is extensive, such as salads, cottage pie, pasta, chicken (in tomato sauce) and other tasty dishes. Staff are cheerful and willing to serve. However, the main issue is that this restaurant can easily become overcrowded (as it is not the most spacious). Overall, I enjoyed it :) read more

Foodillic, or Food by Peter Illic, is a delightful little eatery that has cropped up near the Clock Tower on North Street. Offering a delicious and varied all-you-can-eat selection for £5.99 at lunch time, or £7.99 after 5pm, this is a great place to sit with a small group, or even on your own, and enjoy a healthier meal, whilst at the same time supporting local business. Inside, the food looks appetising and the décor verges on rustic and ustairs particularly, you feel as if you're in a friend's house. This initimate experience is free from fuss, highly affordable and healthy - what more could you ask for? read more

Foodilic - Modern European Near Me - Brighton, BNH

This is the best food place I've ever been to. Everything was super delicious, they had a huge variety of dishes and you could always see the staff with the freshly cooked food. £6,95 and you can eat as much as you like, that's a really great deal. If I lived in Brighton, I'd probably eat there every other week. read more

See all

So... While fish n chips are nice if done right, good to have break and your body will thank you for it. All you can eat good food buffet (yes they have some meat, but all prepared with care) for £6 and change. Yes please. Very colorful presentation and clean place. I hear it can be busy and not many seats (20), so might be best visited off hours. read more

What a great concept. Have a few dishes, cook them to perfection and let people help themselves. Great for a quick sit in lunch or a take-away in a box. If you do eat in I recommend the spinach salad, nom nom nom read more

Amazing variety of pre-prepared healthy choices with vegan options for a fiver and its open for drop in until 21.30! My favourite: cinnamon flavoured pumpkin and apple read more

Delicious food, always fresh & mouthwateringly delicious - it is no wonder they are always busy :-)

Foodilic is a nice place to eat, very cheap, with a lot of variety for vegeterians. The restaurant is with buffet and it is self service. The place is quite small and it is a place where you can spend some time to eat quickly and go. The salads are delicious and there is such a big variety for green veget. There is always chicken or meet cooked with nice sauce as well and the bread is very tasty.. I really enjoy this place when I am in hurry and want to eat something healthy and really cheap.. And of course, I love their desserts and even their coffee(really nice).. read more

Fantastic, tasty food cooked with skill and using high quality, mostly (if not completely) organic produce. IMO, you really cannot get to taste food of this quality at this price anywhere in England. Fantastic meat & vegetarian selection. I am not a fan of buffet style restaurants, but this one is worth a visit. Do give it a try you will almost certainly come back again. read more

Sunday 5pm. My girlfriend and I need a break from walking around, so we walked into this place. Grumpy staff. Bad coffee, average tea and brownie, very oily roast chicken. Not a very pleasant food experience. Granted they close at 6, but if you don't want us here, tell us you're closed. read more

Went to both foodilics the one in central brighton is great lovely friendly staff great breakfast choices and fresh veg juice. Went to western road Saturday and it was whole different kettle of fish. Had to bring all my own food and drinks to the table outside after being hollered from the shop inside. Not very good customer service and a bit abrupt and rude if I'm honest. Walk down to the one in central brighton it's a better experience and the foods delicious!!! Shame as Western Road is on my door step. read more

Tried their lunch buffet which was great and included a wide range of delicious dishes. Good service and reasonably priced too. Really liked their tucked away "garden" area on the first floor. read more

An absolute gem in the Brighton eatery list. This is the only place I go when I fancy an array of lovely vegetables and salady things. Always a lovely selection of delightful things to try. And great value for money. read more

A pleasant place to have a decent meal. Nice location and service. It get's a bit crowded before 5pm, because of the lower prices. The prices are great. read more

A buffet with healthy food options instead of fast food or sad salads. Mayo Chicken is the best! Very busy but they do take away boxes as well :) read more

wish wish wish this chain wud come to manchester n tickle our tastebuds here. this is a flippin brilliant concept if u like superfood salads n yummy mains. the cheesecake was nice but too claggy n needed pouring cream to moisten it. at the western rd branch u can c the chefs make feuillete, those filo pastry cigars with assorted fillings within. ur basically spoilt for choice in brighton when ur a foodie like me!! read more

Great value, but hit and miss and the food doesn't change much seasonally. As others have mentioned, it's an all-you-can-eat buffet for under 7 pounds. While they do have a number of vegetarian options, most of them are in the form of salads and I've been a few times and never seen a hot vegetarian entree (unless you consider the plain pasta or the plain rice to be sufficient) but it sounds like perhaps other reviewers have. But you'd want to check if you're vegetarian, because otherwise you might show up thinking you're getting a great deal, and then it turns out all you can eat is salad and you have no source of protein. read more

Would you eat food from dishes kept by the window all day, unchilled and uncovered with no protection to stop people's spit or germs contaminating it? Would you? I wouldn't. read more

Intereresting and creative salads and hearty strews.Best of all you can try 20 different dishes. I took my neice who won't touch a vegetable and she loved everything there. It is healthy, fast and great value for money. Every salad tastes different- some are spicy, some sweet. There is brown bread (yay!) and a new soup everyday. The variety is amazing- there are at least 10 different salads to choose from. Great drink selection and a range of simple, indulgent, huge cakes topped with ice cream to compensate for all the healthiness. I prefer to go here over most of the fancy restaurants in town. Since food is already prepared (not old) it is a great place to go before the theatre or when you're in a hurry in town. The rice is great. £6.45 for unlimited food. It was a tad greasy- but most restaurants are worse. I think most people do not realise there is an upstairs with more seating/space. If they had a frequent eater card I come come every day. read more

had cheesecake, it came with err, ice cream! Why? the cheesecake itself was disgusting, worst than any cheap supermarket own brand, told the waiter, drank my coffee and never been back! read more

Great food and great service - tricky wheelchair access but the staff (and customers) are helpful and friendly.

Such good value for healthy food. And as much as you can eat! The only thing that would make it 5 stars for me would be a bit more variety in the menu over time. Can be a little cramped at times, but that just adds to the charm. read more

Food is superb - its all really healthy so you don't come away feeling disgusting like you would in another buffet bar. It is effectively all-you-can-eat for about £7 which is such a bargain and when the food is that healthy and tasty, you just can't argue with it. Its fairly casual which is great - good for a big lunch! My only negative comment would be that the salads etc are nearly always the same every time I go, I would like them to change it up a bit so I have reason to keep returning. read more

I always feel healthier after eating here. The take-away boxes are great value for money and they always have lots of great dishes.

This is one of the few places I keep coming back to. Great value for money, brilliant food selection, there's something for everyone, meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans. I love their upstairs extension sitting area read more

staff that look up your nose if you're not someone like me - i wasnt hassled but my friend was - i only wanted to treat him as hes going through some bad times! they really sneered and looked down on him. im not impressed!!!!! read more
