citylikeyou — Marrocco’s — Brighton by Ewen Spencer

Brighton / Restaurant

This is Marrocos Restaurant on the seafront towards Hove. It’s a well kept secret by most Brightonian’s. We dont like to share it as its small and precious. Besides great Pizza and Pasta and also incredible Seafood they make the very best Ice Cream in Brighton. I take my kids after school as the queues are crazy at the weekends. Try the Rum and Raisin....... or the Hazelnut.

Ewen studied under the tutorage of British Phototgraphers Paul Reas and Mark Power at the School of Art and Design at the University of Brighton. He graduated in 1997 and quickly became known for his groundbreaking editorial during the late 90’s for The Face & Sleazenation magazine. He immediately spoke to an audience interested in subcultures, multiculturalism, music, graphic art, photography, fashion and primarily youth culture. His Open Mic book was awarded a yellow pencil certificate by the D&AD in 2005 for Photographic publishing, and remains one of the best examples of Ewen’s work to date.

Unlimited is an independent shop and gallery, stocking a range of playful and experimental graphic-flavoured prints, jewellery, homewares, textiles and furniture. They often rotate their exhibitions, which keeps the place feeling fresh and exciting. The shop exterior is worth a mention too, as it features large graphics by top designers like Supermundane and Gary Stranger (pictured).

Brighton / Cafe

Jack and Linda have been running their traditional fish smokehouse for nearly 20 years. The fresh fish and crab sandwiches are really good, but what I love is them and their lifestyle. I popped into the smokehouse over Summer and there was a delay in the fish soup, because Jack and Linda wanted to spend more time swimming in the sea. Can't argue with that.
