Gorgeous place and honestly completely unexpected. Had a few friends down to visit and wanted to find a cute place for us to have a nice meal and genuinely this place was such a good find. I loved the set menu and the fact you get so much variety. (Honestly we ran out of room on the table by the end but in all honesty - you can never have enough food) Wine menu was fabulous, service was great, couldn't really ask for more.
Booked Med for a celebratory lunch & all 15 of my guests were absolutely blown away. The food was exciting & innovative, with massive attention to detail (the smoked butter!). Exquisite flavours (hoisin pork!) & stunning presentation (so fresh & colourful). Cocktails were just as amazing. Huge thank you to Jack for promptly organising a banqueting menu for us, with special care to provide alternatives for those with dietary requirements. Service was impeccable, atmosphere was lovely, location great.
Can't fault it. Service was great, very friendly and attentive. Came here for their new (as of June 2023) lunch set menu and everything we had tasted incredible. Favourites were the cauliflower pakora as a starter and then the burrata and mussels. Nice wine menu too. I'd been meaning to go here for a while and will definitely be back for dinner at some point. My mum loved the moss decoration on the walls!
Nice atmosphere, good service, delicious and interesting food and good value. We paid 35pp for food and each one of us felt completely full. Definitely recommend - the cocktails look pretty good but we went for wine
We had an absolutely GORGEOUS meal at Med! I had seen photos of the food on instagram (which looked amazing), and I can wholeheartedly say it tasted as good as it looks!
We loved the sharing concept, all the starters were delicious (watermelon sashimi — who knew!) and between the four of us we tried the majority of the main menu. We shared a yummy Ganache to finish, and the cocktails were great too! Overall, everything was delicious, the flavours and textures were so interesting and all of us said it was one of the best meals we’ve had in a long time!
The service was incredible, super lovely staff who were helpful & on top of everything from the start. Couldn’t recommend Med more — we’ll be back soon for sure!
Ps. They're also dog friendly which is awesome!
One of my favourite restaurants of all time. The mackerel is always one of our faves. We travel all the way from London just to eat there. Big love to Med!!!
Listen, there’s so much I could write up about this place. Trust me, just go there. The atmosphere is pretty relaxed, you can sit and munch and drink the entire day away if you so choose! We ordered I think 9 dishes, which for 2 people was WAY TOO MUCH, but, we really wanted to try a little bit of everything. The only negative point is the wine list is massive, but, it’s mostly bottle service only. Very few offered on by the glass, so you have to sacrifice finding a good pairing with being a bit saddled into the whole bottle. Just bring more friends, though, and it’s not a problem. Give it a go, you really will not be disappointed. (Get the eggplant).
Wow. The food here is something special, such a creative menu - we had a lot of fun choosing our dishes! We ordered 8 plates between 3 of us and were blown away by the flavours and the beautiful presentation. Wonderful service as well. 10/10 experience overall, will be back again soon!
The £25 set price lunch menu is an absolutely astonishing bargain, considering the quality of the food and the inventiveness of the cooking.
We are lucky enough to eat out a lot for business and for pleasure all around the country and we are rarely as pleasantly surprised as we were by Med.
We recommend it very highly for anyone who loves great food and values independent restaurants really trying to bring something different, compared to the chains.
Fully deserved 5 stars.
One of Brighton's best - exceptional!
I've been to med a couple of times now (and have booked in again!) and it's just a wonderful restaurant.
It's an insanely reasonable £35 pp and you'll get a selection of starters, homemade bread etc and then choose your favourites from their small plates menu, which is seasonal meaning you can return when it changes ;-)
The food is creative, beautifully prepared and very ingredient led, showcasing lots of local food and outstanding flavours. So many things I've never seen or tried (and I eat out lots!).
Everything I've eaten here has been really wow but without any pretentiousness, just seriously good food given lots of love. The portions are also generous, "small" plates are certainly not tiny and you won't leave hungry!
The staff are friendly and helpful, knowledgable about both the menu and the wine. The restaurant has a lovely informal atmosphere but still looks and feels swanky and special.
They create their own cocktails - obviously delicious - and have a really interesting wine list too.
Absolutely one of Brighton's real gems.
