La perle du quartier

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.

Squashed in a walkway next to the wall to the route for waiters to get cutlery, bread etc Constant Flickering lights to the low hanging fittings throughout the section of the restaurant we were placed in. An attempt was made to stop the flickering by a member of staff but it continued We left before we would have because of this Waitress was very friendly and apologetic tho.

I was able to get a great table last minute and this place was a hidden gem. The food is incredible and exactly what I wanted, the service was great, the food came quickly and was presented well. Honestly everything about this place was great, but the food tops it all off, highly recommend!

It didn’t quite hit the mark unfortunately. The waitress had an odd attitude, the food was only average, the price on the other hand was well above average. It’s a pity, I can see it’s been around for decades and probably has a loyal following, but compared to other places we ate that weekend in Brighton, this was disappointing.

The staff were polite and friendly, nice atmosphere. however the food was not good - arancini didn't taste good, very dry and hard. garlic bread with cheese was not melted, but the taste was good. We had 2 sirloin steak as a main, both not cooked as requested, not rested, meat tasteless, we had to send them back for further cooking 3 times, we ate few bits and left the rest on the plate, but they still charged for full price. Discounted only once i requested not to pay for them as we didn't even eat them. This should have been noticed.
