Foodilic

Un sitio muy agradable y con encanto, comida sana, rica y variada.
Muy recomendable la terracita de la planta alta.

Good food for a decent price! Only issues were that some of the salads were a bit too oily and there’s not that many meat options. Definitely great for vegetarians or someone looking for healthier food from a buffet.

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.

I came in here 3 separate times on my jaunt to Brighton. I only ended up eating once but mostly because it was always so busy! I really like the value for money — £5 to take away a decent sized box (enough for 2 meals for me) or just a couple quid extra to sit and eat unlimited from the buffet.
There’s also a lot more space to sit upstairs too if you want to discourage yourself from getting too full. I feel like this is a place that appeals to everyone: shoppers, families, hipsters and hungry hungry students ;)
Salads were elegant and tasty too — not always a combination one gets! I personally loved the lentil dish — and the creamy mash was to-die-for…I wouldn’t say that this buffet is a healthy option as there’s also tempting stodge, but overall you’re gonna feel virtuous if you come here!

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

I have been several times in this amazing place.
When one’s pass by the shop window, the amazing food full of colorful and all those colors pretty well combined, you really want to go in. The place is quite small for the quantity of people going to eat. The food is really amazing, and the best of all … is free buffet for just around £6,00! They always have seasonal food, and it is a vegetarian place. Is amazing the good look, smell and flavors that the food have. I really adore the cuscus, pumpkin and spinach. I also love they always have some soup, as I love a good warm soup in winter time and even in the summer.
The open patio upstairs is also very vintage and hippy decorated, to have an informal and relax food moment.
Then foodilic is idealic

I’ve been going here since the place opened around 2008. I love the food, the staff have always been friendly, excellent value for money and quality ingredients. I’ve rarely been disappointed.

Right On. Brighton.
This place really encapsulates what Brighton is for me. Not the sea, The Scene, nor even The Lanes, or multi-​mirrored scooters or even the space; a place to be yourself.
Foodlilic represents an escape from London, to London by the sea to achieve a more balanced and creative life. Balancing work and play, fun vs the rat race. A balance of blue and grey, the expanse of the sky when you alight from the train. Ahh the sea air.
I certainly felt very balanced after 5 portions of my 5 a day, visiting the well presented serving plates about 5 times at this homely place, a healthy twist on buffet culture.
Salads were heartily flecked with toasted walnuts amongst firm sweet green beans. Rich roasted squash was rolled around with sweet caramelised onions. Crisp chard leaves were prettily punctuated with juicy pomegranate and tossed with salty sea tasting samphire.
Yes, there are some great restaurants in Brighton and there are some god awful restaurants in Brighton. However here, in what clearly seems to be the heart of the buffet triangle, there’s a Vegetarian South Asian and a ‘We do everything: kebab/​pizza/​pasta/​Chinese/​Japanese/​Americanese and you’ll get your food served on junior school style plates’ style place competing round the corner, but Foodlilic in contrast is a sensible way of scoffing some really rather sumptuous salads.
So dears, have a sensible dinner before you go hard or go home.

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.

The food is great and the portions are really really big! Both the meat and the salads were more than satisfying!

Return visit today, and this eaterie remains just as busy, just as inexpensive and just as delicious. Particularly liked the green salad, consisting of mange tout, green beans, walnuts with walnut oil all over. Just scrummy!!! The chilli con carne was top taster, and the beetroot was excellent. The food cannot be beaten anywhere… you need to visit.
A little cramped downstairs, (seats about 25), there is plenty of room upstairs… hope you enjoy it.

You never know vegetables can taste this good until you go to foodilic! I came here because of a friends recommendation and I’ve never regret it. At first u see a total of 10 – 15 different dishes. For a buffet lover that amount can seem a bit disappointing as the reason of choosing a buffet is the willingness of eating until fulled. However, that flavor that resembles a mix between grandma’s food and a magician of the vegetables convinces you that this buffet is one of the greatest. The service is nice: the waiters are really charismatic and joyful. The food, despite of its lack of meat, really fills your stomach. And the place is warm and welcoming.
Trust me!!! After this you will gain a different understanding of the taste of vegetables ;) and probably the next vegetable dishes you taste will seem plain in comparison to the ones in foodilic: brilliant seasoning and good quality vegetables served in bigger dishes up to your discretion ;)

I was torn. Do I choose 5* or 3*? When your experiences range from the ridiculous to the sublime, what are you to do?
Thankfully my most recent visit to Foodilic was an almighty success, so 4* won out in the end. My hesitation on choosing a star rating was simply due to a couple of ropey visits a few years back, but if the food is as good as this most recent visit then there may well be an extra star added to this review at some point.
Vegan and vegetarian dishes are on display in the window, resplendent with vibrant colour and adorned with herbs and spices. One or two meat dishes will be served in trays nearby, so if you’re just a fussy eater you’ll be well catered for.
Foodilic is like a Brighton institution, you would do your vegan friends a disservice by not bringing them here when they visit!

Nice food for a quick lunch to take out. I’d not sit in again as it gets cramped and busy very quickly at lunchtime and you can barely move, but overall a nice atmosphere when it’s not busy.
The food is lovely, if a bit greasy, could do with a wider variety of good vegetarian foods, like quiches, tartes, falafel, chickpea burgers, all just to mix it up a bit instead of just oily veggies.
The milkshakes are by far the best thing in the shop, so very delicious and healthy. Definitely would go in just for the smoothies and shakes.

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.

Hallejuhuh PRAISE this place.
My god. Honestly, if you don’t know. GET TO KNOW. I’ve already confessed my love for buffet food. All you can eat — it’s a phrase that literally excites me.
Although, often you can’t find a decent all you can eat. It’s either somewhere cheap where they’ve left out, going hard or soggy, full of strays and foreigners trying to look for authentic tastes of England. A place which is a little more pricy where the food is crap and the people that go there are equally crap aka chavy, the kind that think taking their family to the dogs on a Saturday night is a posh night out. Or, there are places which are very pricey and the food is RANK! Aka… Days.
But this place– it’s the heaven of all you can eat. I tell you something as well. I make sure I don’t eat anything that day if I know I’m going here. It’s £6.50 with a beautiful array of fresh, warm and cold wholesome food. It’s organic, full of taste and will literally give pins and needles to your taste buds (in a good way). It’s such a great place I honestly can’t get enough of it.
It’s very veggie and vegan friendly. It serves a healthy choice of food and it doesn’t make you feel guilty for eating there! Unless your like me and you manage to eat lots of bread!!!
NEGATIVE … It’s SO busy, all the time. It can be a challenge to get a table. I’d advise for you — if possible. To get a seat upstairs. Downstairs is just too much, it’s very busy with people walking past all the time. I don’t really enjoy eating when someone’s elbow or worse, butt, is right in my peripheral vision. The tables are quite cramped so sometimes you might need to share– which is alright if your up for meeting new people I suppose!
Anyway. Don’t let this put you off… Believe me. You don’t be disappointed! I go here… ALOT. Every time a friend comes down and we want to eat. I always suggest this place! What are you waiting for? JUST go. My mouths watering at the thought of it… And I’ve had dinner!

Delicious. Not your typical all you can eat!
Foodilic has been around in Brighton for about 4 years if my memory serves me correctly.
I’d always walk past on North Street, and stare at the delicious looking food that is on display in the window… eventually, I ended up going in with a friend.
What can I say, the food is delicious! For about £6.50 you can have all you can eat, and there is a range of salads and hot food for you to choose from. There’s always sweet potato, which I love! Chicken salads, spinach, pasta and pesto, quinoa and other healthy delights to choose from. For the hot food there is usually mashed potato (it’s sooo buttery and tasty), beef bourguignon, paprika chicken, and some sort of pork dish. I only know is because I ended up going there twice a week months on end a few years back.
I haven’t been to foodilic for a while because I really overdid it when I used to go! I walk past and the food in the window still looks the same, and it’s still always packed, so they are doing something right.
Another branch opened on western road, I think they have a slightly different menu, I’ll need to check it out at some point.
All in all, definitely worth a visit!

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

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.

Foodilic is a well know and really praised buffet in Brighton. It took me a while to come across this place, as I am not a huge fan of buffets.
Well this one is different. Its a small, cozy, light place, which means, its’s relatively quiet and pleasant to sit in and have a chat, rather than just stuff your tummy and get out, as soon as you’ve finished eating.
I am always sceptic about food being cheap and healthy, but this is a huge exeption. There is a choice for warm dish and cold; the warm was two types of meat stew, pasta with pesto (yummy!) and mash potato, also, leek and potato soup; the cold/​starter/​side type of dishes were spinach, beetroot, pumpkin (must try!), green beans, lentil, and some other salads. Everything was delicious; every single bite tasted differently, you could feel all the herbs and spices, all the colours of the food, damn, if you’ve recently been feeding on all those boring cardboard-​tasting frozen meals, you mus treat yourself!
I was kind of upset, as it seemed that there was nothing sweet (like a cake, or at least fruit), but then I realized, than one of the salads was creamy, with berries and sweet!
Also, I found it really useful, that by every meal there are notes for people with different dietry requirements (vegetarians and coeliacs (‘GLUTEN FREE’)). I know some people who don’t go anywhere to eat out, because of being paranoid about being sick due to gluten allergy, or never having an actual choice apart from salad. Foodilic in this case shows an actual tolerance towards people with different dietry requirements.
Its open till late (21:30) which makes it suitable not only for lunch, as well as for late, light dinner.
And all this just for £6.45. If you are in a hurry, and feel like you want to grab a take away, because sandwich & crisps & coke deal doesn’t make you feel full (just puts on some extra weight), foodilic offers a lunchbox for only £5.

Wir kamen gestern Abend hierher und haben sehr gut gegessen! Sowohl Salate und. Gemüse, als auch die Fleischgerichte haben sehrvgutvgwschmeckt. Wir sind zwar nur vier Tage in Brighton, aber vielleicht kommen wir noch einmal. Sehr persönliches kleines Lokal, keine Massenabfertigung und absolut faire Preise! Kann man guten Gewissens weiterempfehlen!

Absolutely love this place! This is a great lunch/​dinner place for such an affordable price — £6.45. If you want to take a box away, it’s only £5.
The restaurant is a bit small but they have some seating upstairs. I really like their veggie dishes and also appreciate their soup and meat options. Drink menu is great — all freshly made and for a good price too. They only take cash here so be prepared.
Will definitely come back!
