At Last - Serious, and Seriously Good, Food in Brighton

Due South, Best Seafood in Brighton

Due South, Best Seafood in Brighton

Ferne Arfin
Brighton has hip nightclubs, cool shopping, lovely Georgian townhouses, a scenic pier and the outrageous Brighton Pavilion. It's got loads of really good fish and chip shops, several nice Thai, Indian and Italian places and some good local pubs.

The one thing, however that Brighton lacked, until a few year ago, was a really good restaurant where one could find serious modern cooking in a comfortable atmosphere.

Due South, tucked into a fisherman's arch under the Promenade on Brighton Beach, changed all that when it opened in 2003. Specialising in carefully and imaginatively prepared seafood and modern European cuisine, the restaurant also emphasises seriously green principals. Ingredients are all organic and sourced locally. Even the wine list is limited to European products because of the carbon footprint of New World wines.

Essentials

  • Address: Due South,139 King's Road Arches, Brighton,BN1 2FN
