As near to Jubilee Square as you can be without being on it, Las Iguanas is ideally located to arrive from anywhere, and leave to go anywhere. This is a good thing because you likely will want to go there. Specialising in pan-Latin-American cuisine, catered to a British palate and appetite, with burgers, enchiladas, and steaks all served with a South American twist of zest and spice. A standout dish is the Copacabana burger: a chicken breast marinated in buttermilk and covered in a crisp spice-crumb, topped with Emmental cheese, onions that are pickled pink, a beef tomato, lettuce and fresh coriander; the toasted brioche bun is cemented on by an Amarillo aioili sauce and a tomato-gherkin mayonnaise, all coming with a choice of fries or salad.
To quench the thirst that you have discovered while ordering this dish, at Las Iguanas Brighton a decision has been made that happy hour is every single hour of the day. All day, every day, you heard it right. An extensive cocktail list can be perused by you and your friends (even numbered groups are what we’d recommend) without too much caution over price. The restaurant has, in fact, won awards for its signature cocktail, Caipirinha: Las Iguanas Magnifica Cachaca, with lime and sugar – a simple cocktail, but one that would definitely delight the senses.
If that offer doesn’t satisfy your hankering for a good deal, perhaps the bottomless brunch deal will. By reservation only, you can choose a starter and a main alongside unlimited prosecco or draught beer for a full 90 minutes. This means you could be enjoying a quesadilla, filled with spicy chicken, peppers, onions, and cheese followed by a meat filled breakfast burrito of hash brown, avocado, eggs and back, all washed down with a pint of draught beer (or Prosecco). If that isn’t the proper way to start your morning, we don’t know what is.
