FURNA: Reviews & Ratings
What a wonderful dining experience. We had the pescatarian tasting menu and it was divine. So many flavours and you could see the time that had gone into each dish. We will be back.
Wow. This is hands down the best restaurant in Brighton. It’s no wonder they have won a multitude of awards recently and I’ll be shocked if they don’t get a star some time soon! It is one of the best meals we’ve had out in a long time (and we eat out a lot!). From the service, to the storytelling of the dishes and presentation, to the food itself - everything was impeccable. Super classy but also very down to earth a hard balance to strike. The team were all amazing, I but the pastry chef in particular was next level, I’ve really never had desserts like hers! Both her and head chef Dave came over for each course and explained what we were having and they were more than happy to chat and answer questions in depth. What a meal - I would recommend this place to absolutely everyone! The food is stunning but the team really make the experience - thank you all for such a fantastic evening!
The best food in Brighton, one of the best meals I've eaten. Exceeding imaginative and creative, very tasty food created to the highest standard. Every item on the menu was faultless. Even made me enjoy rhubarb, considering I've never enjoyed it before. So worth a visit, I'll be looking forward to going back.. easily Michelin star quality and beats other one star restaurants I've been to
We had the set lunch menu with a bottle of wine and two sides of “chips”. The service was excellent- with staff very attentive but not in the way. The food was excellent - well presented , tasty and a little quirky. They make it an experience rather than just a lunch. The chief comes to the table and explains the food as does the pastry chief when you are served desert. It’s not cheap and the side dishes seemed particularly expensive- but the chips were not chips as I hope the photos show. We very much enjoyed. With a bottle of house red it came to 60 per person. I’ve paid more for less.
Excellent. We had the lunch time tasting menu for our wedding anniversary. Great experience!
We recently went to Furna to try the tasting menu. I would highly recommend the restaurant and the menu. Some of the best food we have eaten in a while. The chefs are very clever and some of the dishes we're unbelievably good. You will not be disappointed
An amazing experience. Beautiful birthday lunch. Superb value for money. Such high quality food, the bread is an absolute must the best bread you’ll ever have. Every dish was perfect served by the chefs telling you about the food. So much love and care. I was overjoyed to have a souffle for desert. Such a wonderful treat. Every dish is a delight. I highly recommend. Pure class and quality. Thank you for my birthday macaron.
I'm wary of restaurants that have 30 mains, Furna had about 6 to choose from and each one was clearly well considered. Such delicious food, even the side potatoes were to die for, all prepared with real passion. They love what they do here and it shows. Really friendly and attentive staff too, fantastic experience.
