Graze Restaurant

42 Western Road, HOVE, BN3 1JD

2 rosettes

Graze, a modern, slick restaurant on the parade of shops of Western Road, is renowned for its seven-course tasting menu, with wine suggestions, running from green tea and seaweed broth with Japanese mushrooms and smoked tofu, through pork fillet and braised cheek with creamed parsley root, to coconut parfait with pineapple sorbet. The carte reflects Gethin Russell-Jones's passion for complementary and contrasting flavours and bold use of Eastern spicing, and he produces some vibrantly tasting dishes that seem to pull together. Pan-fried scallops with a pig's trotter croquette, pear and coriander emulsion, pickled pear and tamarind velouté might precede a trio of Limousin veal with roast garlic, quinoa and spring onions, and if broccoli and couscous cannelloni with dukkah, smoked aubergine, verbena, and anise yoghurt can seem like a journey into the culinary unknown, play safe with rib-eye with pommes Charlotte, shallot purée and braised onions, and finish with chocolate sundae.

An intimate restaurant serving modern British cuisine with style. We had the tasting menu with matching wines, and enjoyed an excellent meal of well balanced flavours and textures. Service could not be faulted, and I noted that a number of diners on the night we were there were regulars, always a good sign. Just wish I lived closer then I could be a regular too.

Having recently moved to Brighton I was keen to try a selection of my new local restaurants and was really impressed with Graze. The food is both inventive and delicious. A crab salad with gazpacho was fresh and creamy, with a great consistency. Delicate flavours, and evidence of slow cooking, will definitely ensure I return to this restaurant.

You choose several of the delicious, inventive dishes in perfectly judged portions. We enjoyed some of the best risotto outside Italy, a melt in the mouth venison pie, succulent black pudding, and sweet scallops with lentils. The chef, Adrian Geddes, has a way with pasta too, and the chocolate orange souffle was the perfect finish. The restaurant is attractive and comfortable, and the staff friendly. The wine list is extensive and well priced.
