About

IL Bistro, heralded as Brighton & Hove’s award‑winning slice of Mediterranean dining, offers an unforgettable fusion of Italian flair and British classics. Since 1976, Michael Garman transformed a historic fisherman’s cottage into a bustling steakhouse where fresh pasta, a selection of dry‑aged beef, homemade limoncello, and inventive seasonal specials meet elegant service. The menu showcases award‑winning dishes such as Bravissimo ribeye, silky seared seabass, and house‑made tiramisu, all crafted from locally sourced ingredients. The restaurant’s social media buzz and accolades—including the 2025 BRAVO Best International Cuisine award—attest to its culinary excellence. Guests are welcomed to enjoy the contemporary ambience, outdoor seating, and a full bar, while a dedicated reservations team manages bookings for both casual diners and large parties.
