The Nostos Menu at this elegant Hove restaurant strikes a thoughtful balance between traditional Greek flavors and refined modern presentation. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance is welcoming-airy, clean, and tastefully Mediterranean in aesthetic, with attentive staff who exude pride in their heritage and dishes.

The menu is a true celebration of Greek cuisine, with a variety of mezze, mains, and desserts that show off the depth and warmth of the culinary tradition. The grilled octopus was a standout starter-tender, smoky, and served with a fava bean purée that added both creaminess and subtle sweetness. The lamb kleftiko, slow-cooked to perfection, was fall-off-the-bone tender and richly seasoned, paired with rosemary potatoes that soaked up all the juices without overpowering the dish. Vegetarians are equally catered to, with dishes like gemista (stuffed peppers and tomatoes) that showcase freshness and flavor.

What sets Nostos apart is its commitment to quality and authenticity while offering a polished, almost elevated dining experience. Unlike many casual Greek eateries, this is not about quick bites but about savoring each course. Portion sizes are generous without feeling excessive, and the ingredients clearly lean toward premium sourcing-olive oils, cheeses, and herbs feel straight out of Greece.

Prices are reasonable for the quality-starters average around £7-£9, with mains in the £16-£24 range. While you might find cheaper gyros elsewhere, Nostos positions itself as a sit-down dining experience with more culinary depth. For those seeking a refined yet soulful journey through Greek cuisine in Brighton & Hove, this restaurant delivers-especially for date nights or special dinners. The Nostos Menu proves that Greek food can be both hearty and elegant, without compromise.
