Our mission is to provide pure, plant-powered meals that are good for your body. Our approach is knowledgeable, playful, and engaging. We offer a unique opportunity to experience a different way of eating vegetables and discover new flavours and textures. Talented chefs behind Food For Friends restaurant (established in 1981 as Brighton’s first vegetarian restaurant), Botanique (Hove’s exclusive plant based restaurant) and Wolfox Coffee have put together their experience and knowledge to bring you this new Asian inspired plant based concept.
The result is a creative and colourful menu which shows organic plant-based food can lead to surprising, healthy and mindful new eating experiences. We believe in an upgraded casual dining experience in beautiful light-filled spaces dedicated to natural plant-based food and organic wines.

In 1976 Michael Garman returned to Brighton and opened IL Bistro
after being inspired by the Italian and French culture and cuisine
during his travels to the Provence and the western coast of Italy.
His goal was to open Brighton’s first Mediterranean steakhouse.
For the first time, Brightonians were able to order fresh pasta,
arancini, dry aged beef, tiramisu and negronis.
47 years later and now being operated by Michael's son Abe,
IL Bistro still stands by the same principles, using local suppliers
and produce, fresh ingredients and the best available dry
aged British beef. The restaurant is situated in an 18th century
fisherman’s cottage which we find rather fitting after Michael
spent years in Portofino, Livorno and Saint-Tropez, Europe’s
most famous fishing villages.
Booking info:
Since reopening from covid we ask for a £10 per person deposit in our busier times which gets deducted from your bill at the end of your meal.
One of our team will be in touch after your bookings made.

Beautifully arranged over three floors, Bohemia delivers food menu available until 9pm each day. The award winning food is prepared fresh and in house, with quality ingredients. Guests can enjoy creations by Bohemia's head chef and his team in a variety of settings including 'the library' balcony where they can relax on leather armchairs, read newspapers, use the free wifi and watch the world go by below in the historic Lanes.

The bar creates a sociable ambiance where guests and bar staff interact since there is no wall or bar-back dividing them. The talented bar staff are literally on stage.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Ivy Asia, Brighton. The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were friendly and helpful. Our only reservation was that 6 of our 7 little dishes were brought out all at once (staggered servings would have been appreciated) and the broccoli was served at the end, when we had all but finished our meal. Still a great night.

    The food was incredible: we shared a few small plates and each dish was immediately our favourite as we tried each one! It was impossible to decide the best because they were all unbelievable. It's been a long long time since a meal out has made me visibly delighted as much as eating here. Thanks to Food For Friends for making a birthday date perfect.

    Excellent food and top notch service. The drinks were varied and deliscious and the price is about right for a treat. The staff were patient with us, and the loos were decorated in a fun way. They forgot a drink at one point but generally we had a superb time and I will be going back.

    I have been dining at GARS for over 2 decades, celebrating many birthdays and anniversaries plus business meetings. Was the host for an 11yo birthday with families visiting from Malaysia, and they said it was the best Crispy Pork Belly they had in a long time!
