Kindling - Brighton

We went out for dinner where only the tasting menu (£80) was available, but this was our preferred choice for a special occasion. I was able to easily swap a dish from the vegetarian menu to the meat menu (the halibut) without any hassle. The food was not only delicious but also quite filling. I particularly enjoyed the courgette fritter from the chef's snacks, the walnut and carrot tiramisu, and the Vigorina Fizz—which, in hindsight, I would have preferred to have a bottle of instead. My partner was also extremely satisfied with the food. The staff made a lovely effort to explain each dish, which added a nice touch to the experience. For those interested, the tasting menu includes vegetarian options.

Simply exceptional cooking. One of the best meals I’ve had all year I eat out a lot. I usually dislike tasting menus but this demonstrates exactly why they can be amazing thoroughly enjoyable experiences. I loved every single dish. The accompanying very well selected wines were fabulous too. We enjoyed watching the two chefs cook who own the restaurant calm, pleasant assured. We’ll certainly be back exceptional on every level very good service too. These are people who really care about what they do you’ll reap the benefit if you go. Brilliant work and very memorable flavours combinations. Go.

This restaurant is currently in liquidation. Our son in Australia bought a voucher as a gift, but due to the insolvency, there will be no funds available for a refund. It's truly disappointing. The owners likely took their profits and may re-establish the business under a different name after clearing their debts and repurchasing through the insolvency practitioners. Shame on them.
