Wow. What a meal. Had the tasting menu (£65) + wine pairing (£35) and well worth it. Each dish was truly exceptional, and substantial portions. If they have souffle on the menu, don't hesitate - they do a flawless souffle. Service also excellent. If you like dry Rose, the bottle pictured was excellent.

Wife and I recently moved to Hove after living in Dubai for the last 9 years and been in search for a great local restaurant. Today we are at The Gingerman and had the best meal out since our move here. Food was excellent, you can really taste and see the quality and love put into every dish, service too from Sam and Marek was top notch and restaurant itself is nice and small with the added benefit that the tables are not too close and you can’t hear what the table next to you is saying. Wife and I have both agree this is our new special favourite local restaurant. Thanks Gingerman Team!

Considering the reviews and paying £200+ for two for lunch was expecting the best but left underwhelmed. Food was ok but lacked on overall flavour, the cod dish was so salty could not taste anything else (have had better tasting food from gusto). Dishes looked great but seems more time was spent on presentation than flavour. If your going to spend this much you are better off going somewhere like etch or 64 degrees. Such a shame as had high hopes. Dessert was good and service excellent but put a downer on a birthday celebration.

Fabulous vegetarian tasting menu, with paired wines. Everything was beautifully presented and the service was friendly and attentive.

Food and service superb ! Couldn't fault it, nice to have all the trimmings without the stuffiness !

For the second consecutive year, my wife and I have returned here for a celebration meal. The tasting menu and paired wines are excellent and a real exploration of flavours and textures. As with any tasting menu at a reputable establishment, it's not necessarily cheap, but in my mind, a worthy treat. Food, presentation, and service, all excellent! Well done guys 👏.

£50 for a 3-course Sunday roast was super bad value for money. You would expect something extraordinary from this restaurant, instead, it was below average. The pork belly had a very unpleasant smell.

Came to The Gingerman because we were interested in the micro seasonal concept. Everything fresh, most of the ingredients very local and we really felt like that came out in the dishes. I was also happy to be able to demonstrate to my Portuguese wife what really great British food can be, and so many of the dishes had a British culinary theme to them, a great touch. Wine pairings were great, staff were extremely kind and friendly and felt it was great value for what we had, too. A real experience. Recommended.

Was a small but perfectly laid out restaurant. The service and staff were amazing. We opted for the taster menu with the wine to enhance the experience. This really did not disappoint as each dish surpassed the expectations of the last. Well worth the price tag for the sublime experience. My compliments to the chefs and front room staff. Ps the cocktails where also really good and worth a go.

Best Sunday roast ever. The attention to detail to each element of the dish is impeccable, from the potatoes to the veggies to the sauce. Highly recommend.

We were kindly invited to try their Sunday lunch. It did not disappoint! It was off the charts. Every mouthful brought sounds of ‘ooos and ars’ - if you haven’t tried it then please do. Every dish was quite spectacular And every element on the plate was a masterpiece ….. An exceptional Sunday Roast and reasonably priced. You simply must do a Sunday here!

Was really looking forward to eating here, however, I was left very disappointed. The food was beautifully presented but completly lacked any flavour. Considering we paid £150 I would expect for that price, something exceptional. Definitely won't be returning .

We came to Brighton for one night away and hit gold with the weather and this restaurant! I had done my homework and searched reviews suggesting great things. And we were not disappointed! We had the tasting menu with wine pairing and there wasn’t a single course that wasn’t an absolute delight for the senses - sight, smell and taste!! The wine pairings were all thoughtful and perfect, expertly explained by the wonderful staff - who were polite, kind and friendly from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. It’s a wonderfully intimate place - a small restaurant with a well-considered layout that leaves you with space and comfort and that intimacy is all part of the fantastic experience, with a brilliant music soundtrack to boot! I wouldn’t hesitate to encourage people to come here whatever the occasion. The kitchen staff and front of house staff are clearly a fantastic team and we will be back!!

Really lovely and friendly place. Food was amazing and delicious flavours.

Visited here for birthday lunch. Excellent dishes and services.

This restaurant was incredible from canapés to cheese. We recently visited and had the delight of the tasting menu, this was spectacular, each course more indulgent than the last, and the paired wines enhanced our experience beautifully. The service was also impeccable. We will definitely be returning, and soon.

A good selection of dishes in the tasting menu. In my opinion the smoked mashed potato was over smoked, verging on the acrid. That was the only disappointing part of an otherwise good meal. This will not stop another visit to an innovative restaurant.

Absolutely loved our birthday lunch. Great food and in a cozy setting with an attentive and helpful waitress. Honestly can't fault it.

Had a lovely time for my birthday celebration. The tasting menu was a wonderful experience, I was speechless when it came to the lamb.. oh and also the wine pairing, yeah that happen! Cheese board to finish was a nice little touch to finish. Give this place a Michelin star!

Could have been a 5 star review. The restaurant looks great; small but smart, but the chefs often came out and chatted with the front of house staff at the bar. Not completely dressed in chef's attire, this marred the image of the restaurant. The food was great and the entrées were a lovely touch, but some of the meats were a little tough and some of the freshly made crackers that came with the cheese board were too thick, meaning that they were too hard to bite into. Had these and a couple of other niggly issues been absent, then this would have definitely been a 5 star review. I will most likely be returning as the food was great.

Between the service and the chef accommodating my vegan friend, this restaurant was magnificent. Each plate was gorgeous and featured in-season vegetables. I highly recommend this place for special occasions or just a lovely lunch in Brighton.

We went here for our first wedding anniversary and just had the best experience. Fantastic food and top service with a lovely atmosphere. Unpretentious yet cooly professional.

Friendly welcome, but with no ventilation whatsoever, not even a little crack of fresh air, we decided to forfeit our reservation to avoid breathing into the uncirculated air in this packed tiny restaurant. Sad as we came for our anniversary dinner and ended up wandering around in the cold rain looking for somewhere suitable. Would have stayed if there were at least a modicum of ventilation.

Lovely meal here tonight for my birthday. Gary was amazing! A brilliant host all night. We were very well looked after. Thank you again.

Fabulous experience. The staff were so attentive and friendly and the food delicious. They went out of their way to make sure one of our party's gluten free needs were catered for. Will definitely be back! Thank you!

Wonderful experience, amazing food,highly recommend.Each bite from the tasting menu was a mouthful of joy!

We enjoyed the taster menu with wine. Although not cheap, well worth a treat for our anniversary and the waiter was great at explaining each serving and we enjoyed discovering new complimentary wine for each dish. I had the vegetarian which was very nice.

Exceptional food, really thoughtfully put together dishes. Everything from the bread to the service was outstanding

I visited the Gingerman on new years eve with my partner and received one of the best - if not the best - dining experiences of our lives. We ordered a la carte and were treated to various incredibly tasty canapes and house bread which was divine. The Roast Pheasant with brussels was seasonal and spectacular and my vegans partner’s artichoke dish was nothing short of delicious. We finished with a sorbet with blueberries and compote which was a perfectly light and refreshing way to end a truly incredible meal. The chefs here are clearly incredibly talented and have a virtuoso’s understanding of flavours, textures and plating. The FOH were friendly, knowledgeable and professional and I will remember my experience for a long time to come and certainly be back every time I visit Brighton from here on. The only thing I could mention that would be even close to a criticism would be to suggest a broader array of non-alcoholic beers but that is really neither here nor there and The Gingerman is in every way, a spectacular establishment, well run and exceptionally well executed dining experience. Classic, Delicious and a Must-Visit.
