Forget everything you have ever read or heard about vegetarian food. Forget everything you have ever eaten at vegetarian restaurants. Dining at Terre à Terre is a culinary experience like no other, with intense flavours, sublime textures and a combination of ingredients that few have the imagination or daring to put together.

Terre à Terre was born, 15 years ago, out of a shared passion of two people with a mission, Amanda Powley and Philip Taylor. Classically trained as chefs and having cooked throughout the world, they wanted a platform for their innovative ideas where they could push the boundaries of traditional cuisine, while adhering to their beliefs in meat-free cooking.

What began as a BYO with 30 covers, supported by friends, family and the local Brighton community/growers and very lovely staff, (thank you), has become one the most exciting and successful restaurants in the UK. And we’re not just talking vegetarian restaurants, in 2004 Terre à Terre came second place in the Observer Restaurant of the Year awards in association with waitrose. First and foremost it is an establishment that serves outstanding food, and the fact that you won’t find meat on its menu is merely secondary.

Just as much thought goes into the wine list and you will find a wide range of organic and biodynamic wines to suit every pocket: (see wine page). Professional knowledgeable people serve all of this in a friendly, positive environment that makes for a great night out.

Ultimately Terre à Terre is about quality ingredients served with flair, creativity and playful exuberance.

Eating at Terre à Terre will stimulate your mind as well as your taste buds and we believe it will change the way you view vegetarian cuisine forever.
