Due South Brighton BN1 2FN

"Lovely ! We have been here twice recently, for the Sunday lunch and the Thursday Set Menu. Both really tasty. The Sunday lunch comes with two types of meet, amazing truffle cauli cheese and delicious gravy. We had beef and lamb, the pulled lamb was amazing. The set menu was also great, a beautiful selection of seasonal produce. You can tell the chef cares about all things food!"

"The fish and the service were excellent. We had the turbot and a sea bass, both cooked well and extremely fresh. Our waitress was chatty, efficient and only added to the meal. However, everything else was mediocre. The bread starters were poor. The pita type bread was doughy and the aubergine and feta topping left a lot to be desired. The starters were good but very small and the sides for the mains reasonable at best. For the price one is paying, there are better restaurants/fish restaurants in Brighton. Equally, if you do go, just get the fish."

"Stopped here randomly looking for food and it was damn delicious. The wine, the starter (lobster crumpets) and the main (Smoked sea trout) were amazing. The service was a little slow but by the time I finished the meal I'm not bothered as the dishes were so damn tasty and so damn well presented. I will certainly be back and I recommend any fans of seafood to try it."

"I've had two excellent meals at Due South and would highly recommend it to anyone who will listen! From start to finish both meals were divine. Highlights include the steak tartar, sharing lamb and ceviche. Delicious wine and a cosy setting. We had slow service on one of the trips but the waitress was aware and offered complimentary drinks which was appreciated."

"A generous 4 star review for the following reasons. Same owners from Riddle and Finns. There are a bit of hype locally and some of my local friends are excited about this place but I found nothing really special here. Staff are friendly and passionate about making this restaurant a success, however it is grossly understaffed. So kudos to the staff. You would be disappointed if you are looking for seafood as there are more land and sea when it comes to food. Being by the beach in Brighton, I must say it is really disappointing. Food is not bad. I would recommend the Steak Tartare with Caviar, and Duck as starters. Oysters are ok and some are a bit small. I had Dover Sole for my main and it’s reasonable. Wine list is short and quite limited - again disappointing. This place has great potential but they really need to sort their staff and their menu. I think most customers visiting Brighton would expect more seafood. Food 7/10, service 7/10, ambience 7/10, value for money 7/10. Sadly nothing special and failed to live up to the hype and expectations."
