Tucked away in the heart of Brighton, Casa Don Carlos offers an authentic Spanish dining experience that feels both homey and spirited. Located at 5 Union Street, just steps away from the bustling Lanes, this tapas bar has long held a reputation for bringing a slice of Spain to the South Coast. The Casa Don Carlos Menu celebrates the rustic simplicity and bold flavours of traditional Spanish cuisine with a wide selection of classic tapas, paellas, and regional specialities.

What immediately stands out is the menu’s dedication to tradition. Dishes like albóndigas (Spanish meatballs), tortilla española, and gambas al ajillo (garlic prawns) are executed with authenticity and finesse. The patatas bravas here, for example, are crisped to perfection, with a smoky, mildly spicy tomato sauce that avoids the over-processed tang some competitors fall into. Meanwhile, their seafood paella offers generous portions, rich saffron aroma, and perfectly cooked rice-a standout for anyone looking for a hearty main.

Unlike many modern tapas spots that lean into fusion trends, Casa Don Carlos stays firmly rooted in its Spanish heritage. This consistency makes it a reliable go-to for both locals and tourists. The rustic décor, warm staff, and vibrant background chatter contribute to the feeling of stepping into a family-run tavern somewhere in Andalucía.

Compared to larger chain restaurants that offer diluted versions of Mediterranean fare, Casa Don Carlos’s appeal lies in its focused, compact menu and genuine character. For diners seeking an immersive and intimate tapas experience in Brighton, this spot delivers on both quality and atmosphere. It’s not just about the food-it's about the feeling of being transported, even if only for a meal. For that reason, the Casa Don Carlos Menu continues to win over loyal fans time and again.
