In 1976 Michael Garman returned to Brighton and opened IL Bistroafter being inspired by the Italian and French culture and cuisineduring his travels to the Provence and the western coast of Italy.His goal was to open Brighton’s first Mediterranean steakhouse.For the first time, Brightonians were able to order fresh pasta,arancini, dry aged beef, tiramisu and negronis.47 years later and now being operated by Michael's son Abe,IL Bistro still stands by the same principles, using local suppliersand produce, fresh ingredients and the best available dryaged British beef. The restaurant is situated in an 18th centuryfisherman’s cottage which we find rather fitting after Michaelspent years in Portofino, Livorno and Saint-Tropez, Europe’smost famous fishing villages.Booking info:Since reopening from covid we ask for a £10 per person deposit in our busier times which gets deducted from your bill at the end of your meal.

The excitement and anticipation that comes with growing vegetables, and creating innovative plates is translated to our guests through our menu. The plant to plate narrative is at the centre of what we do; our chefs show our local organic farmers a nod of respect towards the passion and patience required to grow a plant, in each dish they create. The seasons dictate our menu, with passion, flavour and creativity at the heart of the operation. This passion flows through our love of organic, and low intervention wines from small producers, carefully selected and paired with our food. Our very own indoor vertical farm is our most recent dedication to sustainable practices, allowing us to grow our own bespoke exotic herbs and aromatics for our hyper-seasonal food and cocktail menus, with zero food miles and incomparable flavour.

The Ivy has a lovely atmosphere with helpful staff. We were unfortunate enough to sit next to a team out on their Christmas work-do. They were very loud, they had no inhibitions, nor awareness, nor consideration for other diners.

Absolutely delicious food. One of the best restaurants I have been too in a while. The environment and decor is simple, but the food is far from it, exquisite flavours that will leave you wanting more. I am already looking at booking again. The staff and chefs are friendly and looked after us. Went above and beyond. Thank you.
