Everything was just AMAZING here! Place was nice and cosy. Service was friendly, dishes were huge on flavours and very delicious, including the Pistachio Tiramisu. Menu changes but the plates we got were the Padron Pepper, Grilled Scallop, Prawn Tacos, Curry Mussels, Oyster Mushroom, Grilled Corn. Can’t wait to be back!

We absolutely love coming to Palmito. We come here to celebrate all our special occasions and the food is amazing. The menu is incredible, each time we try a new dish is better than the one before. One of our favourite restaurants in Brighton, there is flavour, quality and creativity in every dish. We absolutely love coming here and we recommend it to everyone that we know.

We booked a table well in advance as the venue is very small, with limited seats and asked a nice table for a celebration. We got a corner table just by the super hot radiator instead Other than that, the service was spotless, staff was attentive and the food was delicious. The portions are tinny so we were recommended to order 2-3 per person. We went for 6 dishes for two of us but I felf like it was a bit too much and we had no room for dessert Nevertheless, all of them absolutely yummy. My favourite were the oyster mushrooms tostada and the smoked aubergine. The beef was so mouth watering (top 3 steaks I had), but being pregnant I’m avoiding rare/medium cooked meats so my partner got to savour it more. I would definitely return to try their desserts as well and the fish/seafood options after having the little one.

Very cute little restaurant with super friendly staff and delicious food served on small plates. The sweetcorn was . I had a non alcoholic kombucha sangria that was super tasty. Pistachio tiramisu for dessert was also fantastic. First time but will go again.

I absolutely love the food, it was tasty and beautiful presentation. Nice atmosphere and good service. It's a cossy small place. I felt comfortable and enjoyed a lot eating alone between two lovely couples. Definitely I'm coming back.

One of the best restaurants in Brighton! The menu is changing often according to the season and the local ingredients you can have. Diego’s cuisine is very innovative combining tastes that you probably have never tried before! And staff is very friendly and quick! Definitely worths a visit!

Fantastic all round. All the plates were tasty as heck. The mushroom tostada in particular. Would highly recommend. It’s a cosy, small place and the table by the window was the best spot for a couple. Staff were lovely and the cocktails were dreamy. Get in early and reserve a table!

We dined at a restaurant called Palmito and had an incredible experience. The tasting menu was a delight—every single dish we tried was outstanding. Highlights included the Padron peppers, mussels, prawn taco, mezcal, margarita, and the beautifully crafted cocktails. The service was impeccable, warm, and attentive. Everything was perfect from start to finish. We’ll absolutely be returning!
