Selected entries from the current guide for Brighton.
Brighton, United Kingdom
A former bank on Church Road, etch. The kitchen stays open to the dining room, and a 2021 refurbishment added the basement Ink Bar below. A Michelin Plate and two Star Wine List awards in 2024 position it among Hove's most formally ambitious restaurants.
Brighton, United Kingdom
Rafael Cagali's Brighton venture draws on the same cross-continental instincts that earned Da Terra two Michelin stars in London, here applied to a neighbourhood restaurant format on Church Road in Hove. The cooking moves between Brazilian, Mediterranean, Mexican and Japanese reference points, changing with the seasons under the name 'Maré', Portuguese for tide. Sharing is encouraged, and the baba au cachaça has become the dish most regulars refuse to divide.
Brighton, United Kingdom
A 28-seat modern restaurant near the Royal Pavilion, Furna holds two consecutive Michelin Plates (2024 and 2025) and a Drinks List of the Year award for 2024. The à la carte, a £35 set lunch, and an eight-course chef's selection at £85 per person give different levels of access to cooking that draws on seasonal British produce with precise technique and occasional international inflection.
Brighton, United Kingdom
On a busy side street in Brighton's north end, Amari makes a strong case for Spanish small-plates done with precision rather than pageantry. The bright-red frontage signals confidence, and the kitchen backs it up: croquetas, crudo, and suckling pig that each hold their own against far pricier plates. A concise Spanish wine list and serious sherry selection complete the picture at the ££ price point.
Brighton, United Kingdom
Little Fish Market occupies a converted fishmonger's on a backstreet close to Hove seafront, running a seven-course tasting menu for roughly twenty diners at a single shared sitting each evening. With a Michelin Plate (2025) and over a decade of refinement behind it, this is one of the south coast's most focused expressions of fine seafood cookery, where classical technique and modern invention share the same plate.
Brighton, United Kingdom

Brighton, United Kingdom
A Michelin Bib Gourmand holder for two consecutive years, Palmito is a 20-seat small-plates restaurant on Hove's Western Road where Ecuadorian chef Diego Ricaurte pulls together South American and Indian influences into a sharply executed, spice-led menu. The room is compact and convivial, the pricing sits at ££, and the food punches well above the modest surroundings.
Brighton, United Kingdom
Salt Shed on Church Street sits opposite the Royal Pavilion and traces a direct line from Brighton's festival and market circuit to a permanent address. The kitchen centres on open-flame cooking, hand-shaped patties, and the stripped-back philosophy of fire, meat, and beer. It is a useful marker of how street-food culture graduates into bricks-and-mortar dining in a city that rewards exactly that kind of progression.
Brighton, United Kingdom
Cin Cin on Western Road holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand for two consecutive years, serving handmade pasta, seasonal small plates, and Sussex-sourced meat from a horseshoe counter and open kitchen.

Brighton, United Kingdom
A Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient for 2024 and 2025, Flint House occupies a handsome two-storey building inside Brighton's Hannington's Lane development in the Lanes. The kitchen runs a menu of globally influenced small and sharing plates, from East Asian-inflected braised ox cheek to Middle Eastern-spiced roasted aubergine, backed by a wine list with strong local representation. The first-floor rooftop terrace and open-kitchen counter are the two seats worth booking ahead.
Brighton, United Kingdom
Dilsk, inside Drakes Hotel on Kemptown's Marine Parade, holds two consecutive Michelin Plates and.

Prices sit in the mid-range for Brighton, making this one of the more convincing value propositions in the city's modern dining scene.
Brighton, United Kingdom
Seven tables, one seating at 7pm, and around 15 courses that move freely between Japanese technique, French bistro instinct, and bold umami-forward seasoning. The Set operates out of a dual-life Preston Road address that runs as Café Rust by day and a neon-lit casual fine diner by night. Holding a Michelin Plate (2024), it is among Brighton's most distinctive tasting-menu formats.
Brighton, United Kingdom
Wild Flor on Church Road holds two consecutive Michelin Plates (2024 and 2025), placing it among the more decorated neighbourhood restaurants in Hove.

Brighton, United Kingdom
A founding address of Brighton's modern restaurant scene, Gingerman has held its neighbourhood footing on Norfolk Square since 1998.

On Western Road, Foodilic operates one of Brighton's most direct propositions: an all-you-can-eat buffet built around organic salads, raw preparations, warm vegetarian and vegan dishes, and some meat options, all priced accessibly. The format rewards slow, considered eating rather than a quick transaction, and the emphasis on high-nutritional-value ingredients places it firmly in Brighton's health-conscious dining tradition.
Brighton, United Kingdom
A wine shop and restaurant on Church Road in Hove, Fourth and Church pairs bottle-stacked shelves with counter seating and a menu that draws from a genuinely wide radius of influence.

Brighton, United Kingdom
