Red Veg is where vegetarians and vegans should go when they are craving some fast food - burgers, hot dogs, fries, wedges, falafels and even cake too. It is really reasonably priced and you can eat in or take away. It is as simple as that really ... don't miss the spicy babycorn firesticks!

Aloka is a unique and totally raw food restaurant in the evenings 6pm-9.30pm. You have got to taste anything to do with chocolate it's so heavenly. This is the only raw food place in town - I wish there were more. Great for an alternative healthy way of living, if you're not a fan of the gym! During the day/lunch time down stairs its vegan raw and cooked food. I have never tasted such different sensations in all my life. The head chef Felix Schoener is amazing.

Down a slightly dodgier backstreet of Brighton is this small family run Indian veggie restaurant. With the staff walking around barefoot and small children being taken to bed, it really feels like someone's living room. The food is unlike any other Indian I have ever been to, the best being mouth watering pea and paneer curry and simple but delicious Mumbai potatoes. The most amazing thing of all about Planet India is that you can have your meal in half portions, meaning you can try two different dishes each time.

Start off at Bill's Produce Store on North Road, where you can enjoy colourful platefuls of homemade pizza, quiche and salad in a huge room lined with delicious-looking preserves, pickles and other goodies. You'll be near North Laine now, so go for a post-lunch potter amongst the shops selling anything from vegetarian shoes to kooky sex toys.

If you have any space left after Bill's, a visit to the Bar du Chocolat on Middle Street is a must. Run by the iconic Brighton confectioners Choccywoccydoodah (Duke Street), the hot chocolate is top rate. For one last gastronomic treat, make sure you book a table at Terre a Terre, one of the top vegetarian restaurants in the country, and one of the few to serve up 'haute cuisine' vegetarian food. After all that indulgence, Sunday morning can be a bracing walk along the seafront towards Hove, past the dejected looking West Pier and towards the ice-cream coloured beach huts.

Varied veggie and vegan menu - inspired by flavours from around the world. The tapas is excellent, the veggie breakfast is tasty and very filling and the cakes are delicious. We enjoy the leisurely atmosphere - you are not rushed to finish and move on. We can't wait to go back.

Simply the best veggie restaurant that I have ever visited. Reading the menu is part of the pleasure - it has a language all of its own, e.g. Bengal Babs -Tandoori spice loaded halloumi kebab, served with smoked almond custard risotto, tamarind tang, pink onion and green mango sas, and podi dust tomatoes; Cigarillo Mejoolie - Deep-fried parchment pastry crammed with cardamon mejool date and pistachio lemon mince, cinnamon dust, fennel seed sugar, served with pomegranate bead, orange and grapefruit fillets and a mint tisane granita. The flavours and textures are divine. The staff are efficient and friendly and the restaurant also caters for vegans and those who need a gluten free diet. I visit regularly and am never disappointed.

Not only the best vegetarian restaurant in Brighton but in my opinion the best restaurant in Brighton period... and I'm not even a vegetarian. Organic wines and ciders, elaborate towering salads, wonderful staff, and the most glorious and imaginative (vegetarian, but who cares?) food you've tasted in ages. I recommend the rosti. Should be £20-40 a head, depending how carried away you get with the wine. And you should. Take a date.

T-a-T is the best veggie restaurant EVER. It simply shines - I was taken there by some meat-loving friends and we now go every time there's a special occasion. It challenges every cliche about veggie food and puts the middle finger up at chefs who can't cook veggie food but pretend they can (death to lasagne, risotto & the vegetable stack). The Mock Turt has the world's best meringues and tom rarebit and has held onto its delights even after a change in long-term ownership.

When I was artist in residence at Embassy Court (www.myspace.com/asrubyscomet ) I would eat in this nearly-veggie cafe for breakfast, lunch and dinner every single day. It has loads of lovely fresh salads and quiche and such like, and is light and airy, and has very cheap live music nights nearly every night. Absolutely wonderful. Oh and Wifi.

The most incredible selection of handmade (mostly) organic chocolate bars, truffles, drinking chocolate and other wonderful things in flavour combinations that will make you weep.

And it's a local, ethical, family owned company - always great to support.

A fantastic vegetarian restaurant tucked away in the old town; I once spotted Sir Paul McCartney tucking in.
