Sevendials Restaurant review by James, West London
We visited Sevendials on an overnight stay in Brighton at Easter - having decided on it by reading a selection of reviews about good quality eateries in Brighton. And all in all, we weren't disappointed.
Firstly, the menu was short as opposed to long - about 6 choices for each course - but all the choices showed imagination that someone had considered each and every dish. I had a delicious gravadlax with pickled cucumbers and beetroots, whilst my partner had a dish of smoked marckrel - which rather unfortunately came with a chopped up fin in the middle of it, which didn't go down too well.
As for mains - we both plummed for veggie options - which as carnivores, says a lot about the appetising nature of the veggie choices on offer. I went for a gnocci with butternut squash in a creamy sauce of walnuts and parmesan, whilst my dinnerdate went for a middle eastern inspried dish of lentil fritters and roasted aubergines. Both great choices.
Service was friendly and understated for a restaurant that makes the most of its high ceilings, with cool lines, big drum lightshades and quirky equine artwork.
All in all a good night out - for £65-ish for 2 of us, for 2 courses, with wine and water - good value for money given the good quality of the food.
You hear a lot about an up-and-coming restaurant scene in Brighton, it's nice to find a place that tries really hard (and succeeds) to live by some good foodie values.
