There are some fantastic restaurants and cafés in Eastbourne serving up delectable food and catering for all tastes. We round up some of the best…

Old Dave's Gourmet Burger Co.

A friendly atmosphere, quality service and great food are the three main things to expect when eating out and Old Dave's offer those in abundance. Named after Fletcher "Old Dave" Davis (a probable inventor of the hamburger) it's a genuinely pleasant place to visit, and that's without even mentioning the food! The Dirty Dave burger is mouth-wateringly good and if you've got room for a side, the chilli cheese fries will go down well.

89 South Street

The Green Almond

You can't have a round up of Eastbourne's best restaurants and not inlcude The Green Almond. A simple look at their TripAdvisor page proves that you don't need us to encourage a visit. It's open for lunch between 12-3 Tuesday-Saturday and dinner on Friday and Saturday, with the evening menu at the time of writing featuring roasted tomatoes stuffed with puy lentils.
