The Royal Pavilion in Brighton is a unique and distinctive palace built for King George IV, featuring an Asian-style architecture that resembles the Taj Mahal. Constructed in three stages starting from 1787, this former royal residence boasts restored rooms such as the Banqueting Room, The Saloon, and The Great Kitchen. Surrounded by Pavilion Gardens, it has been well-maintained over the years and is a popular filming location for various movies.
So wonderfully over the top, I particularly enjoyed the Colour exhibition which offered a fascinating insight into the use and development of colour. Not my first visit, but there's always something new to see. Highly recommended. The gift shop is a mine of must have books and decorative items. I love the plate I bought.

Quite the amazing experience and not what I expected. We are not royal followers but loved this place. Indian style architecture on the exterior with much more east asian influenced art on the interior. Gorgeous interiors with so much detail, the opulence of it all astounded us and made us sad at the same time. Amazingly well restored to its original state. Even the behind the scenes like the kitchen were impressive. Spent about 45 minutes. National Art Pass had free admission included.
Cory S — Google review
My dear, one simply must experience the Royal Pavilion. It is, to put it mildly, a magnificent and rather scandalous confection of a building, a triumph of architectural audacity over good sense. One feels that King George IV, in a fit of sublime madness, decided to erect a palace that was less a home and more a spectacular, and slightly over-decorated, opium dream. To call it 'Indian' in style is to show a charming ignorance of geography. It is, rather, a whimsical and theatrical interpretation of the Orient, as imagined by a man with too much money and an insatiable desire for novelty. The onion domes and minarets are quite a spectacle, and one is inclined to applaud the sheer chutzpah of it all. Inside, the effect is even more pronounced. The Banqueting Room is a riot of dragons, lotuses, and gilded bamboo, a testament to the belief that more is always, in fact, more. One can almost see the Prince Regent, draped in silks, holding court amongst such exquisite vulgarity. It is a place of delightful excess, a monument to a time when taste was a matter of flamboyant display rather than dreary restraint. To visit is to be reminded that the truly interesting life is one lived in glorious and unashamed extravagance.

Please don’t miss this jewel in Brighton!!! Only palace in UK NOT PART OF THE crown! Worth every pence!!! Ornate Maximus! Indian style architecture with oriental decor inside… very varied history… friendly staff … The gem of Brighton!! Full of surprises! Main floor toilet could have been cleaner!

This royal palace is well worth a visit! It's Eastern decor and interior bring it to life. Geometric wallpaper, patterned carpets and luxury bedrooms, you'll find them all! Can be slightly expensive but worth the money. Your visit will take between an hour and two depending how much you want to read.

We visited the Royal Pavilion yesterday and had a wonderful experience. We bought tickets that are valid for a full year, and one of them was a local ticket with a discount of about five pounds. We were also offered a QR code for the audio guide for two pounds. The audio guide did not load on one phone, so the staff kindly provided a device with the audio guide free of charge. The service was attentive and very helpful. There is a beautiful themed exhibition dedicated to Jane Austen, and the entire place is filled with a magical Christmas atmosphere. Everything was charming and truly enjoyable. The Royal Pavilion is an absolute delight to visit.

The beautiful Royal Pavillion is well worth a visit. Luxury luxury luxury. King George certainly liked the spectacular. It is all very well presented and is stunning I particularly liked the kitchen - have a good look round to spot interesting fun items. It takes 2-3 hours but, unlike many stately homes/palaces, there are a few places where you can sit a while to take in the stunning architecture and decor. Great value for money. Thank you to everyone responsible for maintaining this magnificent piece of history in sunny Brighton.

First visit in many years and it all seemed 'new'. A museum guide gave an excellent commentary as we entered and later in the dining room. It's a grossly overdone interior and fascinating to learn about. Brilliant gift shop too.

Brighton Palace Pier, which opened in 1899, is a historic and thrilling destination offering fairground rides, bars, restaurants, and stunning sea views. Visitors can enjoy street performers and ocean vistas before exploring popular eateries and bars inside the pier. The boardwalk offers opportunities for souvenir shopping while indulging in sweet treats. Families can delight in arcade games, midway attractions, sideshow entertainment, and exhilarating roller coasters.
The Brighton Palace Pier is the heart of Brighton’s seaside fun and one of the most visited attractions in the UK. Opened in 1899, the pier stretches out over 1,700 feet (about half a kilometre) into the sea and welcomes millions of visitors every year. It’s famous for its lively arcades, classic fairground rides, and spectacular views along the coast. Families especially love it here, with safe, family-friendly entertainment ranging from gentle carousels for young children to bigger rides like rollercoasters for thrill-seekers. Food is another big draw at the Palace Pier. You’ll find the best of British seaside classics—fish and chips, doughnuts, candyfloss, and ice cream—as well as bars and cafés for a more relaxed break. At night, the pier is beautifully lit up, creating a magical atmosphere that combines nostalgia with excitement. Clean, well-kept, and packed with entertainment, the Brighton Palace Pier is a must-visit for anyone coming to the beach, whether for family fun, a romantic walk, or simply soaking up the lively seaside vibe.

Nice to walk around and enjoy the sea view, but the visit is quite short. The pier is mostly filled with attractions, arcade games, and lots of food stalls (churros, donuts, etc.), so not much else to really do. Still, it’s a beautiful spot and worth seeing for the view over the sea and the coastline.

Brighton Beach is a lively seaside spot full of energy and charm. The pebble shore, colorful promenade, and iconic pier make it a fun place to relax, eat, and explore. It can get crowded in summer, but the atmosphere is always vibrant.

Always worth a visit. Especially with kids. Nothing amazing or groundbreaking but perfect for a couple of hours. Playing the 2pence machines is fun and cheap. The waterslide and some other fares, a 🍦 to round it off, what more do you want!

Brighton Pier is such an iconic place to visit. £2 entry to the pier. Lots to see, do, eat and experience. A trip back in time with rides, amusement games, soft serve ice creams, fish and chips, and lovely ocean views. You do need to purchase separate tickets for the rides. Go as an adult and feel like a kid again.
Nicola P — Google review
Brighton Pier holds a very sentimental place in my heart because it reminds me of being a child on holiday. Charging to enter the pier is not good, though I do see to maintain it, the money has to come from somewhere. Of course. From the council would be better. I love the food stalls, independent shops, rides, bars and cafes. Especially Horatio’s and Sunset bar. I’d like to see more about the history of the pier and how the money is used to maintain it. Plus, I always thought the mirrors were scratched but they are little birds!

Absolutely lovely place to visit. Great vibe, a lot of people during summer season, a lot of things to do for everyone, no matter of the age. Funfairs, bars, restaurants, souvenir shop and other nice places to visit. You can rent a chair for £5 or sub bed for £10 for the whole day, collector is walking around. Also, pls bring flip flops as it’s very hard to walk on stones.

Brighton Palace Pier is the heart of the city’s seaside charm. A lovely place to stroll along the beach, enjoy the sea breeze, and take in the views — even when the waves are a little wild. The pier is full of fun attractions and games, perfect for families, couples, or friends. At night, the lights create a magical atmosphere that makes it a must-see when visiting Brighton.

Brighton i360 is a futuristic glass pod with a cocktail bar that offers breathtaking views of the ocean and city. Families visiting Brighton can enjoy the seafront area, with its 4-mile-long beach, old-school pier rides, and SEA LIFE Brighton. The charming Queens Hotel provides family rooms right on the beach, while The Claremont in Hove offers a quieter option with generous guest rooms in a Victorian villa.
Worth booking ahead to save a little money. £20 each person. The i360 holds maximum 200 people. Views were fantastic. Best on a clear sunny day. Or evening sunset. Bar service was great. We enjoyed a glass of champagne as we travelled upwards to the highest spot.

This was pretty cool. It’s like an obelisk with a spaceship that goes up and down the obelisk. It’s right in the sea shore at the beach and you get a 360 degree view of Brighton. There’s a bar inside. A couple of boats put on a show for us by going in circles. Takes 20 minutes. About £18 for seniors. Recommend.
Alba G — Google review
Want to thank the wonderful, sparkly and all round fabulous Toyah for her warm welcome at the i360. Was inspired by her delicious looking iced coffee and ordered one! It was delicious btw! There’s a much more approachable feel to the cafe/bar area that I now like to pop to to have a beer or coffee which I probably wouldn’t have done before (!) Went on a sunny day and there was a lovely mellow Cafe Del Mar feel about it.. great music too. Love the seating on the beach too.. view is epic! The prices for residents to use the i360 are very reasonable (£5 I think?) so I’ll be dragging the fam down soon. Look forward to spending more time here! All the staff are excellent btw.. super friendly and well informed. Keep up the top work guys!
Bad C — Google review
Our visit to the Brighton i360 was, unfortunately, a bit disappointing. First, the weather didn’t help—it was very cloudy on the day, which meant the views were far less impressive than expected. We knew that was beyond their control, but the rest of the experience didn’t make up for it. The ride is advertised as lasting 30 minutes, but our tickets were for the 6:00–6:30 pm slot and we were back down by 6:20 pm—so just 20 minutes in total. It would have been nice if they had lingered longer at the top to make the most of the view. After the security check, we noticed a small bar in the waiting area, but there were no staff on hand to serve drinks. It felt like it was just there for show, which was disappointing. Considering the online price was £18.50 per person (and even more—£20.50—at the ticket counter), it felt expensive for what we got. Between the short ride, average views, and lack of service, it wasn’t great value for money.

First time in brighton and decided to come here and had the best experience and we would really like to thank Patrick who was a member of staff on our journey he could not have been more helpful. Took pictures when we asked checked in on us then we asked about pens (I need a pen wherever I visit) he explained where then walked out with us and showed us exactly where they were. Him and all the other staff were very friendly chatty and genuinely seemed like they wanted to be there and enjoying there jobs. Thanks so much for a brilliant experience

When visiting Brighton, a trip to SEA LIFE Brighton is a must for families. As the world's oldest functioning aquarium, it boasts over 5,000 diverse species of sea creatures in various shapes, sizes, and colors. The aquarium offers family-friendly exhibits with play areas and group packages. Visitors can take a tour through an underwater tunnel to come face to face with sharks and stingrays while learning about these fascinating creatures.
I really enjoyed my visit to Sea Life Brighton. The aquarium is beautifully designed, with a fascinating variety of marine life to see. The ocean tunnel was especially impressive – walking through and watching the fish and turtles swim overhead was magical. It’s a great place for families and anyone interested in sea creatures. The only thing is that the visit felt a bit short, but overall it was a fun and memorable experience.

Brighton Sea Life is the world’s oldest aquarium, opened in 1872, and sits right by the beach. Inside, you can see thousands of sea creatures like sharks, turtles, rays, and seahorses. The building itself is special too, with beautiful Victorian-style architecture that makes it feel different from other aquariums. Visitors can walk through tunnels and watch fish and other animals swim all around them. One of the best parts is the glass-bottom boat ride, where you can look down and see sharks and fish below. There are also fun and educational zones that teach about the ocean and how to protect sea life. With colourful coral reefs, rainforest animals, and plenty of interactive displays, Brighton Sea Life is a great place for families and anyone who loves the ocean. We really enjoy sea life attractions , and Sea Life Brighton didnt disappoint

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ SEA LIFE Brighton An amazing place to visit — beautifully maintained and full of fascinating marine life. The aquarium layout is perfect for families, especially with kids, and the underwater glass tunnel gives a stunning close-up view of sharks, turtles, and colorful fish.

A wonderful great experience and especially as it's the oldest aquarium in the world. I even have a jungle part but I didn't like the spiders 😱🕷️🕷️ Lots of different tropical fish and sharks and you can even see the sharks get fed at 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. They have a VR experience where you can swim with a shark's. I wouldn't recommend buying tickets in advance at the tickets cost for same as if you buy them on the door. Thank you for having us 👍🏻😊

Indian restaurant
The Chilli Pickle is a vibrant Indian restaurant located on Jubilee Street in Brighton. It has gained a reputation for serving exciting and authentic Indian cuisine, earning its place as one of the top 100 restaurants in the UK. The restaurant offers a diverse menu featuring street food-inspired dishes, regional curries, and grand thalis. With its bright and expansive premises, The Chilli Pickle welcomes diners with an explosion of color and tantalizing aromas.
Probably my favourite Indian restaurant. Hadn't been in several years but made the trip to Brighton today simply because we missed it. Food is still excellent and the customer service was brilliant. Toilets actually quite pleasant too. Love it there!

This was my first visit. Restaurant is well prep and given a good old and new mix continental interior. You will probably hear Indian 60s/70s/80s songs. It makes this place unique and good with experience. My table were given two rice when I only ordered one. I reminded and they took one back. The service boy brought up some dishes and also once a drink which was not ordered. Food is overpriced all the main dishes. The portion sizes are also small. Be careful, this places prices are very high and you probably eat same food elsewhere less than 50% of price. Wasn’t mentioned service charges at beginning Toilets available To find a parking 🅿️

Amazing food. I had the fish and clam curry extra spicy with additional chillies, with black dhal. My friend had the chicken biryani. He was amazed woth the portions of chicken and a flavour he couldn't quite put his tongue on. It came with mint sauce and something else... Service was great although the waiter wouldn't tell us the secret recipe. He did explain though why Chilli Pickle had moved locations and how they wanted to reflect more street foods and the culture of India. My friend ordered his own cocktail, but he devoured my boozy lassi... and then the second one he ordered in replacement. Fabulous.

Long story short: £84 for mediocre food for 2 people. Slow service. Save your money and go elsewhere. We came in on a Saturday, near the end of lunch service. It was a little busy but nowhere near full. Service was sluggish and food took around 40 minutes to arrive. We ordered sambal wings (£9 for 3), aubergine curry (£18 set lunch) and lamb chops (£25 for 3), plus a mango margarita and a negroni. Wings: crazily overpriced and underwhelming. Sambal flavour was barely there, and 3 wings is a strange portion to share. Aubergine curry: stodgy sauce, little depth of flavour. Lamb chops: the biggest disappointment. Overcooked to grey in the middle. Sad because you can tell it was good quality meat - still somewhat soft despite overcooked. Spices didn’t come through, and the sizzler plate left them dry (maybe rethink if you can't get the cooking right?). At £25, that’s unforgivable. By the time the food arrived, we’d already been waiting too long to send them back. In hindsight, we should have, but heyho you live and learn. Overall, a very expensive miss.

Wild Flor exudes French bistro chic with its gilded mirrors, classic wine posters, wooden tables, and banquette seating. The restaurant is run by a trio of Hove locals with extensive hospitality experience and offers a menu focused on food and wine. The kitchen operates on a 'good old-fashioned carte' system and sources seasonal ingredients from the chef's allotment.
What an absolutely fantastic place to celebrate an anniversary! ❤️ Wild Flor is just gorgeous - from the friendly greeting at the start of the evening, all the way through to settling the bill, we enjoyed every moment of our time here. The restaurant has a really calming, cosy ambience to it. The staff are so friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and they had even written us a card wishing us a happy anniversary!! So thoughtful 🥹 There is an extensive wine list and a great selection of cocktails - we really enjoyed our glasses of the verdinho and rosé, and the Todoli Margarita we paired with our pudding was zesty, fresh and incredibly strong!! You have been warned 😆 The star of the show at Wild Flor is, of course, the food. We kicked off with the ink battered squid, which was expertly partnered with fennel, saffron, and blood orange. I haven’t had anything like this before - the combination was a bit mind-blowing!! All starters come with delicious sourdough bread and butter, too. We used ours to mop up the saffron sauce 😋 We chose the bavette steak and Chalk Stream trout for our mains, and shared the confit potato side dish, which was crispy and incredibly moreish. The steak was cooked to perfection. If I was being hyper-critical, I would say that the wilted spinach (which somehow seemed to have been cooked very well but still retained its crunch - impressive) was intensely garlic flavoured. I am a massive garlic fan, so not an issue - but even to me it was a little overpowering! My partner really enjoyed the Chalk Stream trout dish - I tried a piece and it was perfectly cooked. We finished up with the aforementioned Margarita and the limequat & coconut ‘key lime pie’. This pudding was sensational - creamy, zesty, and melt-in-the-mouth. We shared the pudding but I wish I had ordered my own one to be honest - I could have eaten 10 😅 Thanks so much for a wonderful evening, Wild Flor - we can’t wait to come back and try many more menus!! ✨

Me and my partner went here after being recommended by a chef I work with and it was fabulous! I tried the lobster special and it was the best lobster I’ve ever had, the potato salad and bisque was insane and everything was ultimately tasty. We also tried the beef croquettes, oysters and prawns for starters which were all delicious and perfectly prepared, my partner absolutely adored the chocolate pot for dessert as well. The wine list is perfect, I had the cheapest vinho verde as wanted to spend more on my food and it was still fantastic. Only thing I wouldn’t recommend was the margarita but that’s just my personal preference (no salt rim, not on the rocks so if you like that then go for it!) Our servers were great too, extremely good service thank you guys!

Had the spring 3 course menu for £25 which was great value, added oysters which were from Dorset, gorgeously plump and flavoursome. Delicious and interesting food combinations simply presented and unfussy. Highly recommend the Mutton sausage (pictured). Good service, nice warming interiors. Enjoyed the wines which were recommended. Very solid 4s across the board but lacked a bit of wow factor to push into the 5*

A thoroughly disappointing and expensive dinner out. The tomato tart was some of the worst pastry we've ever had, dry and absolutely flavourless. The £28 poached trout was really under-seasoned and uninspiring. The starter was strange and expensive and was made with cheap and boring salad leaves. The waitress that evening clearly could tell we weren't content with our food, and to be fair asked clearly cared about that too. The bar staff were also very friendly. I just could never recommend this place to eat, there are so many more creative and flavourful options close by. I'm sorry that it's a challenge as a local restaurant right now but it's just not acceptable to pair this food at this price point. It was about £120-140 in the end for really underwhelming food which, frankly, with the competition is why I'd say go somewhere else.

My husband and I had dinner at Wild Flor and the set 2 course menu. From start to finish the evening was outstanding. Food was exceptional - perfectly flavoured and cooked - trout melted in the mouth and the bavette was mouthwatering. Service was superb and thoughtful, with warmth and humour. Music at just the right level to be in the background, lovely calm feel but not too quiet. We paid £55 each for bread, a starter, main, two sides, a drink and gratuity and felt it was excellent value for the quality of the food. We loved it and will be back.

The Flint House, part of Ben McKellar's Gingerman group, is an intimate and stylish restaurant that opened in April 2019. It offers a variety of small plates featuring meat, fish, and veggie options along with cocktails and wine.
The Flint House is an absolute gem — the first restaurant I’ve been to in a long time where every single box is ticked with full marks. The service is faultless: friendly, attentive, and perfectly paced. The drinks list is superb, with thoughtful cocktails and an excellent wine selection. Every dish that came out of the kitchen was beautifully presented and bursting with flavour (highly recommended Sunday lunch). And the ambience? Stylish, relaxed, and effortlessly cool. A 10/10 across the board — highly recommended.

This is a nice restaurant experience, with great service and an interesting menu. We opted for the chefs menu, with wine flight, given it included several of the dishes we were interested in. We sat at the pass to appreciate the experience. The food was good, technically well done with some considered flavours. The portions were probably a little bigger than we required, but the ingredients were of a high standard and the finished product a pleasing result. The setting was nice but not as intimate as other restaurants we have tried. In summary, a nice experience but not necessarily one to repeat.

This restaurant is a hidden gem, tucked away from the main town centre. The décor blends industrial with classy, offering a spacious upstairs seating area and a terrace for summer dining. Run by the Gingerman group (I remember visiting the Ginger Pig back in 2012), it was just as good. The food was of a consistently good standard, both in quality and presentation. Service was warm, friendly, and efficient. The ambience was relaxed, yet dishes arrived promptly without feeling rushed. With its choice of à la carte small plates or full set menus (with or without wine pairings), I can see this place becoming very popular. I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience here and would happily return—and recommend it to others.

We’ve been wanting to visit for a while, overall it didn’t disappoint. Most of the dishes are absolutely incredible, especially the lamb shoulder, red mullet, rump steak, pork loin, oysters and prawns. Highly recommend the mash and green bean salad as sides. The confit potatoes looked fantastic but could have had a little more seasoning. The mains are a little on the small side but when you are ordering sides to accompany them nobody went hungry! I was slightly disappointed by the puddings which sounded delicious on paper but didn’t really live up to expectation. The drinks were excellent, lovely martini menu and we had a fantastic bottle of primitivo. Service overall was good, our server was helpful and friendly, one of the staff members seemed to had forgotten how to smile but I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Flint House!

There are a lot of restaurants to choose from in the Lanes with excellent reviews. We chose here due to the small plates seeming to priced fairly reasonably. We were not disappointed the steak for £20 was a normal main course size and probably the best steak I've ever had. The mackerel was gorgeous and lamb was incredibly tender. The fact they offer carafes of wine also makes it possible to have a nice wine without blowing the budget.

Booked here for a work dinner as a group of 5 while we were stopping over in Brighton. It was incredible! The food was amazing and definitely a highlight of the tour we were doing! Staff were excellent and the food was incredible. Served on smaller plates, we thought it mightn’t be enough but with the level of flavours and richness of each dish, everyone was full. I will definitely go back next time I’m in Brighton.

The Burnt Orange absolutely lived up to the hype. From start to finish the experience was outstanding. The food was next level – every dish had immense flavour, perfectly balanced and cooked with real care. You can tell a lot of thought goes into the menu, because nothing felt standard or predictable, it all had a twist that made it exciting. The restaurant itself is stunning. Beautifully decorated, with a warm and stylish vibe that makes you want to settle in and stay for hours. It manages to feel both polished and relaxed at the same time. The staff deserve a mention too. They were exceptional, super friendly, attentive without hovering, and just really easy to get along with. It honestly felt like being looked after by your mates, which made the night even more enjoyable. And the cocktails… wow!! Every one I tried was mind blowing, both in presentation and taste. Easily some of the best I’ve had in Brighton.

You wonder if its going to be as good as you expect. The experience was a birthday gift from my niece . My wife and I went with moderate expectations but we were really happy with the whole thing. I loved the range of food and the care the staff took to make sure everything was perfect. The multiple dishes provided, solved my normal problem of what to choose on the menu and wanting to try a bit of everything. Just go with a few friends and have a great time

Such a lovely evening at Burnt orange we had the experience menu which was amazing no thought required just sit and enjoy! The cocktails are not for the faint hearted we recommend the bread and butter old fashioned and the roasted pineapple colada. We finished off with the custard tart boom!! The staff here were all welcoming and friendly and the restaurant has such a good vibe we can’t wait to go back x

Everything was perfect! The staff were attentive, fun, knowledgeable and passionate about the menu. The decor and ambience was great, we had a fab table, the food was totally delicious, so much flavour, everything was different but all went together so well and the cocktails were expertly made… and as excellent as that all was it was actually pretty reasonable cost wise too so we were extremely happy customers!

Keep this place secret. Never tell anyone it exists. The best food in Brighton. Beautiful, tasty, well balanced, surprising. A big plus : the cocktail team, a band of magicians. Make your booking before you arrive in Brighton. And visit the love shop in the narrow street behind BO.

Tried to book a table here on my last trip two years ago and I did not succeed. Fast forward two years, I booked a while in advance and just had one of the most stunning dinner experiences of my life. Fusion Middle Eastern influenced food, incredible cocktails all matched by equally as good, if not better service from Leo and Andy and the rest of the team and all at very competitive prices. Well done! We will surely be back.

Seafood restaurant
The Salt Room is a chic and modern British restaurant located in Brighton, offering stunning sea views and a terrace for alfresco dining. It has been recognized as the Seafood Restaurant of the Year in 2017, known for its sustainable and locally sourced seafood dishes. The menu, crafted by Chef Dave Mothersill, features an array of freshly prepared seafood options such as cuttlefish, oysters, lobster, and sea bass.
We had a fantastic lunch here mid week. The food quality is quite simply outstanding, and as for the shellfish I have to say we were delighted. My wife and I have just returned from a 2 month stay in the Algarve's biggest fishing port where seafood and fresh fish is obviously plentiful so we were wondering how we would fare on our return to the UK after that. We were not disappointed, the XL prawns were locally sourced, fresh and absolutely delicous. The ribeye steak was perfectly cooked and the Piri-piri Monkfish my wife had was also excellent. It's not cheap, but it's more than a meal - it's an experience - the wines, top class service and ambiance all adds to it and the hosts clearly take great pride in what they do, so it's worth paying the extra if you can afford it. They claim it's Brighton's best seafood restaurant and I have no reason to doubt that. It's certainly a high bar. Looking forward to coming back one day, sadly we don't get to Brighton more than once a year.

We had a wonderful dinner yesterday at The Salt Room. The restaurant was full of atmosphere, yet we were comfortably seated at a large table. The service was excellent – the waiters were friendly, attentive, and clearly very professional. On their advice, we ordered the monkfish to share, served with mussels and moqueca sauce. It was simply gorgeous – beautifully cooked and full of flavour. To finish, we had the lemon tart and truffles, both of which were outstanding. A truly memorable dining experience. Many thanks to the team at The Salt Room.

We had the most wonderful meal at the Salt Room. Excellent customer service from the moment we walked through the door. Ben looked after us for the whole evening and helped us with a fabulous wine choice. Thank you Ben we really appreciated your excellent customer service! The food was excellent- best scallops I’ve ever had. Finished with a delicious Old Fashioned cocktail. I would recommend the food here. Different options to suit too. Lovely!

Although this was not my first choice when trying to choose a special place to celebrate a family birthday, I'm so glad we came here. The decor is elegant and refined, not too fancy. The welcome on arrival by the maitre d was warm and friendly. He really went out of his way to make our kids feel welcome too. The service was attentive and helpful without being too much. Special shout-out to Kerri for being the star of our show. The food selection was heavy on the seafood, with some fantastic meat and veggie options too. Highlights included the seaweed butter with the bread, the sauces/ broth with the mussels. The shared a whole fish and a rib eye steak between three and it was all cooked to perfection. Dessert did not disappoint, and the salted caramel tart did the business and they made a special point of my wife's birthday. I would highly recommend The Salt Room for a special dining experience.

We had an amazing dining experience at The Salt Room! The food was absolutely unforgettable — we ordered the mixed seafood grill and the dry-aged beef steak, and both were cooked to perfection. Every bite was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was lovely, and the service was friendly and attentive. I forgot to take photos, but the taste said it all — truly a memorable meal!

This place had been on our bucket list for a long time and we had booked months in advance. Sadly I have to say we were deeply disappointed with the Salt room. We arrived and were shown to our table. We ordered the scallops and the ceviche as starters and the monk fish to share. The starters were very good. From Here on our experience went down hill very fast! The monk fish, £60 to share, we were given a side plate each and no way of serving the sauce and to be honest I would have expected a little garnish, even if it was just chopped parsley! Overall the food was ok as seen in the pictures. Unfortunately the same cannot be said about the service, we watched with glee as the table opposite us were pandered to topping up there wine, engaging with conversation asking if everything was ok, we had nothing! No interaction of any kind with our waiter. My wife never complains, but thought today she would, She was told by the maitre’d that “well it was his birthday yesterday and may be he shouldn’t be in work today! We were asked if we wanted a drink as way of an apology, to which we didn’t agree but were given, we then started to talk to the couple on the table opposite us and explained our experience to them, whilst doing so our waiter was swooped out, although by then we had finished our meal. The maitre’d then comes to our table and asked us to leave stating “we require your table back NOW”. As we were leaving he turned to us both and said the we were black listed and must never return! As we had spoken to the couple on the opposite table. To say we were both gobsmacked is an understatement! We have never been treated like this in our lives and will not ever consider going back. What a totally over rated over priced pretentious establishment!

This is seafood dining at its finest! I went for a birthday celebration with my partner. Upon arrival we were met by the maitre d', and although he seemed a little cold at first he was actually very nice. John/Jean our waiter was extremely friendly and attentive, he answered any questions whilst offering recommendations. He even double checked about my partner's gluten intolerance and made suggestions to accommodate her. We both had a Takamaka cocktail, both were great. I had the scallops and my partner had the grilled octopus for starters, both were delicious! For our mains, there was only once choice for me- The Turbot. Cooked to absolute perfection, meaty and rich which went perfectly with the herby Morghew Farm Ratte Potatoes. My partner had the half lobster and I was told that it was equally as epic. All in all, some of the finest seafood, in a great setting (it's literally on the seafront!) and very friendly staff. Yes, it's a little on the expensive side, but totally worth it!
