Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Covid precautions- in force with track’s trace, sanitisers, distanced tables and staff wore masks.
Full vegan breakfast was faultless and also enjoyed the apple,carrot and ginger juice. Light years ahead of any vegan breakfast on offer at home.
Would definitely recommend and come back again

Everytime i get an opportunity to visit Brighton I visit this place the food is so fresh and beautifully done. I particularly enjoy the salads. Normally help yourself buffet But Covid has changed that so staff serve you choice of meal. My friend had beef and salad and i had the large mixed salad. Deliicious i wouldn't go anywhere else if i was looking for vegetarian food at a reasonable price or looking for somewhere to go with a meat eater.

I randomly stumbled upon Foodillic after a beautiful day at the beach and oh my did it finish the day off nicely.
Firstly, the friendly and informative staff. I got a main of roast (deliciously cooked) chicken with three main salads. When I say salads I mean perfectly combined flavours, broccoli, cucumber with mint. Spinach in a pesto dressing with mushrooms. All for a whopping £8.50
If you’re in the mood for healthy, delicious food. Make this your number one stop.

We make a point of coming here regularly when we visit Brighton. It’s one of our favorite eateries.
Service is friendly and the food is very tasty. The combo plate of three salads is reasonably priced, 3 salads £8/ 5 salads £11.
We have definitely noticed a conspicuous rise in food prices here since Brexit and finding fresh veggies cooked in an innovative way is what Foodlic offers at an affordable price.

It was our very first time visiting FoodIlic and we were left completely fulfilled (actually, that's an understatement; we were stuffed!).
The serving sizes and selection available hit the heights and exceeded expectation, in particular the portion sizes. We had enough for adequate leftovers, and enjoyed it THAT much we bought a take-away lunch box for tomorrow!
The aubergine main, roast vegetables and spinach and mushroom salad was our favourite. However we thoroughly enjoyed all the other vegan dishes too.
We left inspired and very much looking forward to visiting Raf (very welcoming, attentive and a asset to the team) again in the not to distant future.
Thank you Foodilic!

Following the trends, we tried "foodilic", a bar / restaurant, based on vegan food...as the website said.
We went inside and we saw straight away chicken legs, turkey, and beef lasagna...that's not vegan! Because due to the covid, the company forced to change menus. We also saw some garlic on the ceiling, perhaps to keep vampires away.
We ordered 1 meal (Mediterranean butter beans) +3 salads.
it was satisfying better than a school canteen, all served on the Flintstones table.
Seeing the Christmas atmosphere, we felt like eating a cake. The mint and pistachio cake was our choice ... and we regretted it at the first bite.
Anyway, I suggest this restaurant to everyone. Great and healthy food, but I recommend you bring a coat because it's freezing, considering they keep the doors open and it's December.
Where are we? In Tenerife?!

We visited Foodlilic for breakfast Sunday morning.
There were good options on the board to choose from and our breakfast was served quickly and was very tasty with quality ingredients.
The premises is looking a bit tired but this doesn't reflect on the quality of the food.
Overall very tasty food and good for a quick breakfast pit stop.

Visited for breakfast today with family. The coffee was amazing (cappuccinos, latte & mocha) as was the food - all cooked fresh and served piping hot.
The salad selection for lunch were being cooked while we sat and ate and all looked and smelt amazing!

I’m not going to spend ages to explain why this is good as it’s easy to articulate. The lady serving me was a vibrant happy person who’s customer service is a cut above the rest. She is incredibly attentive and it’s important to her that you leave with a smile on your face. The salad selection is amazing and it also caters for Vegan/Gluten free you name it she has something delicious for you to try. It’s healthy happy filling and affordable cuisine. I walked out being a fan and will be back often.
If you want healthy, delectable food served by someone who actually cares about her customers then don’t hesitate to check them out. They also deliver via Deliveroo and UnerEats too.

The salads in the window are a amazing, so many to choose. We went for the 1 main and 3 salad plate for £9.50 and a plate of 2 salads for £6.50, both great value as there was lots. All the salads were delicious and so healthy. Service was also fab.

Having been to Foodilic in Brighton centre before was really disappointed with our visit to the western road branch.
Service was unfriendly and slow.
And no explanation of how the prices work.
Food wasn't very hot, and just lacked taste.
The salads were nice.
The prices have gone up and it's not a buffet where you can go more than once anymore either.
Won't be visiting again, which is a she as loved the other branch which is now shut.

Yes good food and plentiful but my advice is to just go for tap water or bring your own drinks. Not bad value plate of food (£8.50 for main and three salads) but £2.10 for a little bottle of Diet Coke...I guess that’s where they make up the money. When I questioned the price the staff member behind the till became strangely agitated and did her best to come across as patronising to me. (Good luck with that, I’m a commercial airline pilot)

Thank you for your review, and we are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your food. We offer premium Coca Cola and Diet Coke 330ml glass bottles priced at £2.10, which only just allows us to make a small margin. For comparison, Prezzo offers 330ml bottles for £2.75 and Cote Brasserie is £2.85. We are sorry to hear you had an issue with a member of staff; we will investigate this with the Restaurant Manager.

Although I’m fairly carnivorous, I regularly eat at Foodilic, which fills me with goodness and I leave with a healthy glow.
Today, I had the beef lasagne and spinach, mushroom and tomato salad, my girlfriend had the moussaka and bean salad. I have no idea how they make simple salads so incredibly satisfying and delicious! £9 each with free minty, lemony water on tap can’t be beat.
The fact it’s in the opposite corner to McD’s is also enjoyable.

I was thinking l was going to eat at a restaurant when l booked it but sadly it was a cafe really, BUT I WILL SAY, the food that was on the menu was VERY nice healthy and very tasty. And a vey good value for money.
The service was very friendly and l would definitely go again, but probably more for a lunch than a dinner
