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.50 years later and now owned by Michael's son Abe,IL Bistro still stands by the same principles, using local suppliersand produce, fresh and seasonal 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:We ask for a £10 per person deposit which gets deducted from your final bill.One of our team will be in touch to take your deposit, bookings will only be confirmed once the deposit is paid
