Brasserie Pascal

Ate here 20/9/08 for my birthday lunch, with my mother and daughter......we ate around 2pm...the restaurant was not at all full except for outside....My daughter and I had the mussels, my mother the fishcake with chips....My mother wanted a glass of water without ice, I had a glass of house red, and my daughter ginger ale.....

What went wrong with the service today?? staff had faces as miserable as anything. from all.....the floor staff...they brought the water...with loads of ice in..when told it was wrong we were almost half way through the meal, before we could get the water without ice....

Fishcake with chips came without chips with salad? A long time after the mussels, if the food isn't ready together then it shouldn't leave the pass, as our mussels were nearly cold by the time the fishcake arrived!

What is sad that my daughter is in the trade and I have been involved with the trade in the past in France........if it is going to be a Brasserie, service must be

faster, prices lower, not so fancy and can everyone SMILE PLEASE....Nice food just so disappointing really.........:):) You are in the service industry SMILE.....please....

And noone came to ask if the meal was ok, or anything, also when asked for a 2nd glass of water - it was brought out in a broken jug and poured into my mother's glass....but the glass of water wasn't for her, but for me.....

I ate here last Friday and had a lovely meal. As there was a big group of us we were asked to pre-order from the set menu.

The scallops were amazing, really sweet and cooked to perfection. Followed by a lovely tuna steak. Most of the boys had steak - which was cooked exactly as they ordered, they were all impressed.

I enjoyed my cheese board dessert, the other pudding on offer looked lovely as well.

Considering the restaurant was full, the waiters were helpful, and the food was brought out together. I will definitely be going back.

Had dinner at Brasserie Pascal on Saturday night and it really was excellent. Service was very good and the restaurant was busy with a nice buzzy atmosphere but not too noisy. Everything feels just right and it is true that your experience can be as formal or a laid back as you want it to be.

However, the food is brilliant, superb quality and cooked to perfection, I had rib eye steak with salad and french fries for my main course and it was the best rib eye I have had in many years. Wonderful Iles Flottante for dessert, so good and not often found on a restaurant menu.

I will most definitely be going back.

I've now eaten in Pascal's 10 times and I'm so impressed by it I had to write a review. Every time has been perfect.

The food is classic, simple and faultless. The staff are very friendly but also very professional. The decor contemporary and stylish. Relaxed and not stuffy. Just a great place to eat out on any occasion.

I'm still working my way through the menu but we've tried most things and it's all great. Highlights are the Scallops, fillet steak and the Chateaubriand but the fish dishes are excellent too.

This place makes Hotel du Vin look like a circus. The best meal you'll get in Brighton & Hove. Perfection

This is my new favourite restaurant in Brighton & Hove. The atmosphere is lovely, the staff are friendly but also leave you to enjoy your meal, being on hand when you need them.

The menu is classically french and executed very well, with daily sepcials. It is not cheap but the price is perfectly acceptable for the quality and the experinece that you will have. If money is an issue it is worth going out less and then going to Pascals when you can.

My only critiism would be that although the menu is supposed to change monthly, it seems to change very little, maybe this will change when they have been open a little longer, and it is hardly a criticism as the menu is excellent regardless!

I can highly recommend the Scallops when there are on the menu and the Chateau Briand, exquisite.

This is by far the best restaurant in Brighton & Hove at the moment. The food is always very good and the menu changes monthly. Service also exceptional and the restaurant is modern with a laid back but 'fine dining' feel. You could get dressed up and go for a special occassion or just turn up in your jeans for a impromtu meal out. I've eaten dinner several times and also lunch and it has always been fantastic. Highly recommended.
