The Gingerman

Fantastic restaurant. Celebrated my 50th and didn’t disappoint. Great service, great food and nice place to eat. Would highly recommend. A firm favourite over the years of dining here.

My wife and I dined at Gingerman Restaurant, one of our favorite spots over the past few years. This visit marked our fourth time there. While the waitress was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and kind—the overall food experience fell short. Specifically the main course, a steak meal, was underwhelming and lacked flavor. Considering we spent £180, we left feeling disappointed by the food.

Simply put, everything was perfect; wonderful food (hard to pick a favourite amongst a number of top highlights, but perhaps the octopus) great service (hitting that perfect mix of professionalism and warmth) and a lovely atmosphere, new favourite restaurant in Brighton, we will be back. Thank you

Went for lunch with 2 of my best friends and this was not the first time I ate here. However, this place gets better and better with time . The soft warm bread with the cultured butter and the mini appetisers were incredible; then came the mackerel, which was smoked and served with grapes, and a cucumber sauce: it was beautifully presented, and delicious too. Then I had the hake, and it came with tender stem broccoli and a sauce with petit pois and almonds. It was very delicate and the hake was perfectly cooked . My friend had the pork loin and that was also divine . We finished with the strawberry soufflé and the lemon tart, both extremely good. We had a very nice white wine that accompanied the food beautifully, but I do not remember the name. I ended my meal with limoncello and we were all very happy. The service is fantastic, the place is glamorous and the food is incredible. A must if you go to Brighton !

We had a fabulous lunch here just before our little one was born. Katy made us feel so welcome and gave great service! We look forward to coming back. The new chef's tasting menu is 👌🏻

Was a small but perfectly laid out restaurant. The service and staff were amazing. We opted for the taster menu with the wine to enhance the experience. This really did not disappoint as each dish surpassed the expectations of the last. Well worth the price tag for the sublime experience. My compliments to the chefs and front room staff. Ps the cocktails where also really good and worth a go.

We were kindly invited to try their Sunday lunch. It did not disappoint! It was off the charts. Every mouthful brought sounds of ‘ooos and ars’ - if you haven’t tried it then please do. Every dish was quite spectacular And every element on the plate was a masterpiece ….. An exceptional Sunday Roast and reasonably priced. You simply must do a Sunday here!

We had dinner last week, shortly after they reopened. It was at the end of the soft opening, but I’d misread the email, so not realised it wasn’t available on Friday evenings. Which was my mistake. We were a little late due to an emergency but they were very accommodating. Overall the staff were charming and we enjoyed the experience. They were very kind organising a candle in a fudge for my aunt’s birthday. We had most of the starters and enjoyed them all, particularly the beef tartar, prawns and rarebit croquettes. The mains were mostly solid, but not as consistently good as the starters. Veal was lovely. Confit potatoes were underwhelming, as a dish I’ve loved elsewhere and a little flaccid. My beef was tender, but a little uninteresting, but the accompanying mash really wasn’t good, no matter how much gravy I drained it in. It had clearly been reheated, which results in something that tastes more like a ready meal mash. Desserts were yummy, and a big success. We have eaten at nearly all the Ginger restaurants and I often stay at the Ginger Pig, so we’re very loyal to the brand. I hope they can iron out the mentioned issues. It’s not unusually expensive for Brighton, but these hiccups aren’t really good enough at these premium prices.
