Circo

Nice food and atmosphere. I have been many times :)

i booked online to turn up to the restaurant that was closed. it was a special day with a friend very disappointed

Really impressed. Staff were great, knew their stuff and the food was amazing. Very good service and good value. Lamb and pork belly to die for. Highly recommended

Circo is one of our favourite place in Brighton. Creative, flavoursome food, attentive and relaxed service - a great place for any evening.

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Circo. The food was so fresh and delicious, it’s easily the best small plates food I’ve ever had and we’re big tapas fans. The small restaurant area is well done out and the atmosphere was very relaxed and welcoming, I would recommend it to everyone.

Fantastic food and service at a very reasonable price. Good neighbourhood spot

Excellent food, chef catered for our lower spice level perfectly

Lovely little restaurant. Amazing food and great value. Only thing was they ran out of wine due to missing delivery! But we were allowed to byo so all good. Highly recommend this place and Pabellon. Yum!

The food is simply amazing!!! So many different flavours combined and beautifully presented, like tiny, tasty works of art. We can't wait to return.

Fantastic food, warm and friendly patron and staff. Loved it!

Lovely visit, perfect food and service. Well balanced dishes, great Spanish wines and knowledgeable foh staff!

Great little tapas bar serving well cooked tapas. Limited menu which is good. All food cooked fresh in an open kitchen. Good friendly service. Will definitely return.

A lovely little Tapas place, very clean and chef and waiter were lovely ....the food was interesting and good and the wine excellent......would definitely recommend ......Ina

Great place, lovely food, good value and nice hosts. thank you

Lovely interesting tasty food and great service, what more do you need!!!

Our visit was early evening on a Friday so when we arrived, the restaurant was very quiet but around 7:00 it soon began filling up. The waiter took his time to explain the menu to us. The food was delicious and each tapas plate was generous enough to share between 4. The atmosphere was laid back and friendly. A member of our group was celebrating a birthday and we were given a new dish to try and a dessert to share gratis. I would strongly recommend Circo to my friends.

Cannot speak highly enough of my first experience of Circo ! The lamb chops were amazing ! Hospitality was fabulous ! You will not be disappointed !!!

Great service and excellent food, good place for a celebration!

So pleased this restaurant reopened. The food is better than before. Really great evening.

Delicious meal - amazing flavours with quick and friendly service - would highly recommend.

Nobody likes greasy, reheated tapas. This used to be a great place but this Saturday it was half full and there was a failed sense in the air. Shame - all resources and attention must have been diverted to their new place

Great good. Limited menu at time but very friendly staff and efficient.

We arrived for our friend’s birthday and the usual service and food wasn’t at all on par with previous standards. The tortilla was cold in the middle, the service was minimal with many questions we asked having clipped answers, and despite having preinformed that it was my friend’s birthday no effort was made to appear celebratory toward her. It felt like it could have been dinner at any place. Most significantly, there appeared to be a change in staff in the kitchen and the food lacked the typical flavour that circo has been known for. I’ve been a regular as has one of my companions but we are unlikely to return. We paid in full and left a small tip to be polite as we were not going to have any difficult interactions with the staff during the birthday, but it was completely underwhelming and a real surprise. It used to be excellent

Friendly service and excellent food, in a sociable atmosphere. Fully recommend and I will definitely return.

The food was great and we received excellence service from all members of staff.

Food was ok but generally under seasoned/ potatoes weren’t crisp enough and the dishes lacked finesse

A great local restaurant and we will definitely go back.

We had a great time at the restaurant and loved the food. The staff were friendly and efficient and the tapas was 2 for 1 on a Tuesday which was an extra bonus !

Amazing food. Great venue. Loved to Asian twist on tapas. Great waiting staff and chefs were friendly too.

Fantastic food, wine and service. Hands down, the best restaurant in Brighton

Small, friendly restaurant with an interesting take on Spanish food.

Lovely food and was lovely to sit at the bar and see the food being cooked. Can't wait to go to their new place. Thanks!

The food was excellent. We were very well looked after. Were the sticky ribs our favourite or was it the pork belly but then there was the manchego cheese & little gem lettuce? Personally my favourite was the sticky ribs.

Delicious food and very nice little restaurant, we go often. This review would have been a 6, the only slight downer was that one of the chefs was in a pretty bad mood and kept having arguments with other staff. As we were sat right at the bar where the food was being prepared it was pretty hard to ignore... still the food he prepared was top notch!

The service was excellent. All staff were friendly and helpful. The food was amazing - delicious and beautifully presented. We had a lovely bottle of wine. All in all, a fabulous restaurant.

Food was great, loved the european and asian fusion. The service brilliant, staff was very friendly, attentive and fun! Great experience overall and we shall be going back!

We had a truly excellent evening at this little restaurant. The food was delicious, the people were exceptionally friendly and the atmosphere was magic. We will be back.

great food and fun atmosphere and nice staff and ok vakue

Great Staff! Lovely atmosphere, beautiful presentation but portion sizes and execution of certain dishes do not match with prices. Mackeral and Calamari were perfect octopus a bit overcooked.

Place has a new chef and a new front of house but the vibe is still great and the food the same great quality. Spot on!

Was very much looking forward to our visit to Circo yesterday given the great reviews I'd read. Sadly it didn't come close to living up to expectations. It was really busy and the atmosphere was good - however, the place felt cramped tables were very close together and both my wife and I had to pull our stools right in to avoid banging backs with the people behind us. Many of the tables are raised and have stools which doesn't make for the most relaxed dining experience. The menu was interesting and comprehensive we ordered 7 dishes between two of us which seemed like the right number... Sadly, the food didn't hit the mark. The padron peppers were under-seasoned (something which was common across all the dishes) and there was no salt or pepper on any of the tables. Our Patatas Bravas were soggy from about half way down the dish and the sauce tasted only of paprika. Other dishes were un-inspiring. The duck dish with oranges was remarkable mainly for the fact that the chef had managed to remove all the flavour from the fresh orange segments on the plate and the prawn dish on the specials menu which cost £9 contained only 3 over cooked prawns still with their intestinal sacs...! Overall the food was overpriced, poorly presented (they used the same bagged salad on each dish as garnish) and lacking flavour. It may have been an off night but we certainly won't be going back to find out if it improves

Fantastic restaurant. From Hugo doing a superb and welcoming job front of house to the exquisite food and lovely ambience, Circo gets every single detail right and we’ll be back! As many times as we can. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Delicious as usual and staff are wonderful. An absolute delight of a restaurant. I can’t wait for their second restaurant to open in the next few weeks

Cracking Lille tapas restaurant with an oriental influence. Compact, cosy & great fun. Love sitting up at the kitchen bar & chatting with the chef as he creates his great dishes. Good wine list too

Such a treat. The food looks and tastes like a work of art. Really enjoyed the miso Squid and the volcano chicken. Great service too.

Excellent food and service. Very friendly and helpful staff. The octopus with chorizo and the volcano chicken were particularly good. We had a really good time

Great flavours. Really loved the refreshing tuna ceviche and thought your teriyaki frog legs were ingenious! Thank you for a fun evening of glorious tapas

Very tasty, well cooked tapas, all with an interesting twist! Staff were attentive and friendly, and very tolerant of us being the last people in the restaurant! It was a great night all round and we’ll definitely be back 😊

As always , great service by the friendly , attentive staff. Each tapas dish was beautifully presented with really lovely flavours . Highly recommended !

We have eaten here several times and its always very good. However at 8pm they had run out of all 5 of their meat tapas meaning there was only 3 vegetable a tortilla and seafood available. At 8pm. Something really not right for a tapas place and we left due to the lack of available dishes
