OctoberBest returns from 10 to 25 October. This year's Dome award winners each cook a special festival menu, and the city comes out to eat.
How a festival grew from an awards night
OctoberBest began in 2015 as a simple way to promote the local independent restaurant scene and has grown into a phenomenon. The winning restaurants from our annual Dome awards each create a special festival menu for 16 days in October, giving Brighton an extra incentive to eat out when the summer crowds have gone.

OctoberBest is an annual restaurant festival which is directly linked to the Brighton’s Best Restaurants Dome Award winners of that same year. Winners of One, Two and Three Domes, as well as those awarded a Local Favourite rating are invited to participate. During one designated fortnight in October, each restaurant offers diners a special menu which best showcases their food. It’s a great opportunity for restaurants to attract new customers, and for diners to try somewhere new at a discounted price.
