It’s been 5 or so years since I’ve dined at Etch so the return visit was well overdue. Pleased to report that the visit was absolutely divine from start to finish. Welcome and the service were warm and lovely - pro tip, start with a drink in the cocktail bar before moving to your seat. The food was absolutely gorgeous - flavour exploding from every bite. We went for the five course which was great value for money. In terms of favorite dishes, it was very difficult to choose. The opening snacks were divine - mushroom truffle bite was a WOW flavour bomb. Similar for the tomato soup - the elevating of humble ingredients were super impressive. Great wine list too - we went for a lovely orange wine which complemented the meal nicely. Highly recommend and I will not be going 5 more years before visiting again!!
We had the £25 OctoberBest menu, it was simply outstanding.
Incredible flavours and amazing customer service.
The cocktails were also out of this world.
Couldn't recommend it more!
Definitely going to return to experience the full menu soon.
What can I say but WOW!
Booked as a solo diner and requested specific seating which was taken into account.
A call before my booked dinner reservation, asked me about any dietary requirements or allergies which were confirmed upon arrival - not lost in a chain of office to restaurant email communication.
Was warmly greeted and the staff made me feel so at ease.
Opted for the tasting menu as didn't want a heavy main course, and this was just perfect.
The service was impeccable - each of the course contents thoroughly explained upon arrival.
Would go as far as saying that this was the best dining experience I've ever had.
Thank you to the team at Etch.
I was nervous before I went as I'd never been or ate in such a high end place . Staff were amazing, I was made to feel so welcome , all the dishes were explained , then the absolutely gorgeous lovely chef brought over dessert & asked us about our experience. Absolutely amazing experience, thankyou . Highly recommend
Everything was perfect! The food was delicious and had unique flavors! We love every minute of the experience! We want to thank everyone!
I have plenty of favourites, but this one is special, and a cut above anything else the city has to offer. It is, without doubt, the best restaurant in Brighton!
It always feels like such a special treat to be cooked for, and looked after, by this talented bunch.
I’ve been coming here since it first opened, and just love it. It seems to get better every time. Steven and the team do such an amazing job of making you feel so welcome. It’s a perfect balance of sophisticated, yet relaxed.
The food is simply another level. So much flavour in every bite and all presented in such an elegant way.
The service is always fantastic. A very welcoming team, who always go above and beyond to make your night special.
We are very lucky to have this talented chef in our city, and the restaurant deserves all the accolades and praise it receives.
Thank you again for another amazing night. See you again soon.
Incredible, in every sense of the word.
Service was impeccable throughout, from being made to feel welcome on arrival, to being looked after in exquisite detail the entirety of our evening.
The food, wow, where do I start, 9 courses of mind-blowing flavour packed dishes.
Every dish is served at your table with attention to detail in its delivery, quite how they remember everything is an art on its own.
I tip my hat to the chef’s and their team, for such an amazing experience for my wife’s 40th birthday, who enjoyed every minute.
Thank you.
Outstanding meal; we went for lunch and it was an absolute delight, definitely in another league in Brighton. Every course was so well thought out with brilliant touches - caviar, pickled raspberry, onion wotsits, cheese on toast, truffle shavings. The dippy egg was incredible! We had the 7 courses but could have eaten 9 in the end. Great selection of wine and non-alcoholic drinks and honestly, worth every penny. It's a slick setting with dark walls and bold art, with a new cocktail bar downstairs that I'd love to spend a few hours luxuriating in! The service was good, communication beforehand was spot on as we had to make a change and it was seamless. The attention to detail didn't quite match the level of the food on the day in my opinion but honestly, we had an excellent time. Cannot wait to return for the full dinner.
What an incredible experience. The cocktail bar before our meal was lovely, the service was first class and the food absolutely outstanding. We had the 7 course taster. Can't rate Etch highly enough! Thank you 😊
This is not somewhere we could normally afford to go, but we were given this as a wedding gift, and it was so lovely to be able to have a special meal to celebrate. All the food was exceptional, and the presentation was perfection. Steven Edwards is really friendly and takes the time to talk to all the diners. The staff are really welcoming, and you don't feel uncomfortable, or out of place, like you can in some fancy restaurants. I would definitely recommend Etch for a special occasion. We would love to go back in the future.
