What actually matters when choosing
Brighton restaurants are small and popular, and the good ones book weeks ahead in summer. Reserve the first sitting, ask for a table away from the window onto a busy street, and keep the walk home short because the hills do not help.

How TheDirectory fits into this
A good independent restaurant makes a first dinner easy, but it cannot tell you who you are meeting. TheDirectory checks identity against a government issued document by a person and reviews every photograph before publication.
