Paul and I went veggie for this issue of Hopezine and it was surprisingly good! Terre a Terre is a restaurant set within Brighton’s famous ‘Lanes’ that has a reputation for the best vegan and vegetarian food in the UK. Now, I was surprised Paul agreed to visit with me as he’s quite the carnivore! However he liked the look of the batter-fried halloumi and chips, pictured here. He said it was a little rich for him and that he might of preferred a meat dish, but that didn’t stop him from clearing his plate! Terre à Terre was founded in 1993 by friends Amanda Powley and Philip Taylor. Both classically trained chefs, they met in Brighton by chance after cooking their way around the world, and soon decided to join forces to upturn the worlds perception of meat-free cooking and see how far they could push the boundaries. They also have a happy ‘Happy Hour’ which is guaranteed to please – if you see me at the bar, mine’s a vegantastic Bloody Mary! terreaterre.co.uk – EC
