Market Restaurant Bar in Brighton and Hove

It’s quite overpriced. The dishes weren’t interesting enough for the price, nor the portion size. Nice interior design and cocktails were fine. Nice flavours. We like seafood and four out of five dishes in that category are tinned. I can’t see how it’s justified when there is no cooking involved. The bread with tomato and anchovies was luke warm and the bread was soggy with too much heavy wet cold tomato and then two slivers of anchovies. More attention needed to the timing of courses too. We had a cocktail and then cheese arrived straight away. I expected maybe some communication about the order of dishes…it’s a nice place just a few important tweaks needed in my opinion.

Market is easily in the top few restaurants in Brighton & Hove - and believe me I’ve tried ‘em all! Consistent and with cool staff, it never fails to be a pleasure to sit at the counter and work slowly through the menu.

It's a while since I've been here but I recall the service being exactly right and the food being top quality...just here to say the site needs work...the only option is 'accept cookies'...no button for managing or customising...see screenshot...

Food is lovely. Well presented. Quick serve. Seafood is well-cooked and taste is amazing. We have been asked to leave the table due to next booking after 1:45ish mins. Reasonable time slot but the customers should have been informed in advance, rather than last minute request ‘ We will need your table ASAP’ while we are in the middle of our drinks. The decoration and vibe is very cozy and background music is also just lovely enough.

The food was absolutely delicious. Best meal I've had in Brighton We came a little early with some little people and they were very accommodating, the waiter was very informative, helpful and charming. Thank you Market. We will be back, probably on our own, order all our favourites and try therwat if the menu !

Came here as a last minute booking yesterday evening and had an amazing night! Food was incredible, staff were lovely and attentive and the restaurant is gorgeous! Will be back to try the Sunday roasts!

Decided to come here again...on the spare of the moment Saturday lunch time...friendly greeting as ever and sat as always at the counter. Drinks and food exceptional as always...Crab tortilla...lamb albondigas...a stand out as not tried these before. Would have loved to have tried the Basque cheesecake which looked delicious however no room...maybe next time which is an absolute certainty. Please don't be put off by the amount we paid per person as that included a drink to start with and a £40 bottle of wine. Food is exceptional value for the quality. Thanks again Market.

Wow fantastic food and ash was so good at service and cocktails!!!! Love her give her a raise!

Came here for a birthday meal with some mates. Rory’s service was amazing and ants cocktails were beautiful. Lovely place would defo recommend to others

What a little treasure this place is. First off, staff are awesome. Super friendly, really attentive and brilliant recommendations on food and wine. It’s rare to find service this good anywhere. Secondly, the food is sublime! A good mix of tradition, innovation and decent sized portions. We loved the lamb meatballs, the goats cheese churros, and the tender stem broccoli. Yum! The cocktails are also delicious - strong enough for a kick, but not so much it’s unpalatable. Loved the margaritas and espresso martinis. Have already recommended Market to friends, so if you’re looking for a place to eat in Brighton and Hove, make it this one!

Four of us ate here on Monday and it was one of the best meals I had this year! I’ve eaten at Market 6 times now and the service is always fantastic and the food is always absolutely incredible. We’re still talking about how tasty the dishes were My favourite place to eat in Brighton, thanks team!

Best food and staff in Hove by a mile, have eaten here 5 or 6 times now and it never disappoints!

I recommend changing the staff. I came in on June 26, 2024 with a child, I asked if you have a toilet. I received an answer that the toilet is only for customers. But I haven't had time to order anything yet.

Second time we've eaten here after completing the London to Brighton bike race. We will be back next year, without even wanting to try anywhere new. It's THAT good!

Amazing lunch! The guys were both so lovely & the food was so so delicious! Great wine. Loved it.

Rather underwhelming. It promises a lot and the service is welcoming and lovely. But the food itself does not hit the heights you'd expect from the prices.

This place has been amazing both times we've been and we can't wait to go back. The food is fantastic and the service is great as well, especially Michael who has made both our meals here as good as they possibly could've been. Only thing that's missing I'd say, is a beer on draft.

If Carlsberg did Tapas...... The very best!

I love this restaurant! I’m trying to think what to write about first: the delicious food (especially goat’s cheese churros), decor, or staff. So I guess I’ll say all of these things are top notch. Highly recommend!

I love this restaurant! 1) Decor is outstanding! Extremely creative and stylish. 2) Staff. They are all of the “cool” ilk, but super friendly and helpful. Special shout out to the blonde manager. He really is an asset! The chefs behind the bar look great too. 3) The food (most importantly). This is so delicious. The churros, the incredible padron peppers, broccoli (unbelievable), beef and pork, oh and the aubergine. I thought I might die from the deliciousness of the cheesecake. In short, you simply must go!

Had a lovely lunch here and would highly recommend, great food, everything was delicious and friendly service, will definitely be back!

You don’t need to read the waffle I’m about to spew, just know this place is incredible and you should go. Full stop. But for a little more detail… Authentic and actually good tapas is hard to find nowadays, but Market is both those things and much more. It’s Spanish in its roots, with the menu clearly focusing on that with Iberico cold cuts, a great selection of wine, a love for seafood and great sauces, but they’re not scared of a little influence. We’re talking lamb and labneh for a little Middle Eastern twist and of course the mighty spanishmisu crossing the boarders into Italy. The atmosphere is buzzing, with bar tenders lively and ready for a chat, and making sitting at the bar a fun experience. The food is to match as well, shoutout to the steak which was gorgeous with the bone marrow chimichurri and the goats cheese churros, WOW! It was a fab night and its rides the line between special occasion treat and just a great regular spot for a bit to eat. Might have to make up a few excuses to go eh! Cheers guys, Was amazing!

Goats Cheese Churros. Non-negotiable order when eating here. Unbelievable.

My partner and I had the best Sunday afternoon at Market. The margaritas were incredible, as were the goat cheese churros, the smoked cashew croquettes, the gambas pil pil were the best prawns I’ve ever had. So juicy, flavourful just 10000/100. Ant, Josh, Max and Pav were the absolute best. Will come back here literally tomorrow. Highly recommend.

The food here is consistently delicious. The staff are welcoming and friendly but not over the top. The menu has a good selection of dishes with some specials. I keep coming back for the goats cheese churros, the sauce on the prawns is to die for and leave room for the basque cheesecake.

I came here with my family. I’ve tried most of the tapas restaurants in Brighton and this is the best! The food was so yummy and great service too. Can’t wait to come back again.

Love food, staff , ambiance Just perfect ♥️

Came here for lunch on Sunday, it was absolutely delicious. Great cosy atmosphere and brilliant staff. We will definitely be back - the ox cheek plate was our favourite

Great food and wine and a really lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend

Been here once before and went again tonight and oh my, another amazing experience!! The customer service was top notch - professional and attentive without being overbearing. The food is 10/10! I highly recommend the lamb meatballs, smoked beetroot, and goats cheese churros!

I love the Market, I have eaten there so many times but it never disappoints. The service is friendly and the atmosphere always fun. The food of course is the main event and is out of this world. You must try the goats cheese churros and the broccoli but if I'm honest it doesn't matter what you have it will all be delicious

Such a lovely cosy place with amazing customer service! Food was delicious!! I was doing veganuary and was cautious to go in because the menu looked a bit meaty but the vegan options were so so good. We tried one of all the vegan options and there was so much food we could barely finish it between the two of us. Cocktails were also 10/10!!

Visited Market on Monday evening and it was outstanding. Sadly no pictures were taken as I was too excited by everything that I didn’t pause to take a snap. Micheal who seated and served us was wonderful, considering it was jam packed with a large table seated shortly after we arrived, he continued to provide such a high standard of service. He was attentive without being overbearing and explained all dishes well, also engaged in light conversation with us on a couple of occasions and we did not at all feel rushed. The food and drinks were amazing as ever. I had a Palmeria Gardens cocktail and could easily drink 3 or 4 of them! The wine was also great. The porchetta special was my favourite, so tasty and cooked really well. Other dishes worth a mention, the beetroot had a lovely little kick, the goats cheese churos with a not overbearing truffle honey was also delicious. Big fan of the meatballs too! Suffice to say there was not a bad dish, those ones just topped it for me. Thanks Market team, we will be back soon! 😋

Last night we visited for the first time. The whole time we were amazed. Staff super friendly and attentive. They all were checking up on us. The music was really good. The food was amazing. The cocktail was something special. An awesome place with a really special vibe.

Enjoyed a night here yesterday. Food was 10/10 service was brilliant staff super friendly and played good tunes!

Incredible home made food served by friendly staff! Sat on the bar where the servers were happy to have a chat with you, good atmosphere in the rest of the restaurant. Perfect for a date night and not too expensive! Highly recommend

Had a lovely meal at Market. Food was delicious. Ambience was great. Wine was good. Even the mocktail was delicious!

Stylish Tapas bistro serving wide choice of accomplished Spanish and Spanish-inspired dishes. Aperitif, wines and cocktails match the food in choice and price. Seating is 50/50 at the bar or at small tables. Great for couples and small groups due to the limited space. Our party's comment was that the starting wine price was on the high side for casual dining.

Great experience. Sat at the counter, staff were very friendly and attentive. Couldn’t fault the food even if I tried, everything was lovely and we left feeling very content. Thank you!

A wonderful experience. We had the midweek fixed dinner menu and the food just kept coming, it was delicious and then out came the Basque cheesecake and we were in heaven. Friendly service and a warm atmosphere, keep up the good work, now our favourite restaurant in Hove.

Amazing Food! Amazing Cocktails and Great Service!

Had the most amazing dinner here yesterday. Everything we ordered tasted fantastic! The service was exceptional. Would highly recommend this place.

Great friendly vibe, relaxed, lovely food, some of the best Tapas eaten. 100% recomend.

We booked as a group of 20 for the private dinning experience. The food was delicious and the service was fantastic! We honestly couldn’t have asked for more. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to do the same.

Wonderful experience here on Wednesday! Very good value for such a high quality meal. Micheal our server was the stand out - made my partners birthday really special. Can’t recommend this place enough ! And try the basque cheesecake

The team were friendly and professional, made for a great environment for my friends birthday! 🎂 Atop that, the food was truly delicious, a lovely range of flavour profiles and different things to try, I'd 100% recommend. It's on the slightly pricier end, between the 3 of us having 6 dishes we spent around £90, but it was well worthwhile.

Absolutely amazing as always. I took my family to market restaurant, which would have been my 6th time back. We tried multiple dishes from their special menu and they were fantastic, my favourite being the wagyu tartare. I believe this to be one of brightons best restaurants due to them consistently offering high quality food with brilliant service.

Sensational food and fun atmosphere. Small plates of utterly delicious rich flavoursome food- highly recommend! Staff were friendly too.

Bit of a meaty interior but surprisingly many vegan choices, which were all delicious.

Wow. 1. Fantastic food. 2. Fantastic service. 3. Lovely ambience The staff make you feel welcome and at home whilst having fun with you. The food is inventive without being pretentious. The bar is amazing, i honestly can’t fault it. 100/100. Michel(general manager) is a natural, the other staff are all fantastic, my drinks where all beautiful, and the desert was fantastic. Never thought that I would say the highlight dish would be some beetroot ??? WOW WOW WOW WOW. Restaurants can be incredible, and this is one of them.

Fabulous food and great service

A really fun night, I first thought when we got there that sitting on the corner by the door would not be a good place but I was wrong! The food was amazing and authentic. The staff were friendly and clearly had a a passion for their work and the food they were serving. I loved the stone baked sea bass, rosemary potatoes and chorizo dish the best.

Had an amazing meal here last night! Amazing food, beautiful surroundings and wonderful service. Thank you A***

The food is so good and the service is incredible!

Value for money zero. Far too expensive for what i paid. Small tapas and very expensive. Paid 100£ for 5 tiny tapas and half litre of wine , ridiculous. All tapas were ready , just assembled there and than.

(A)ce food. (B)rilliant drinks. (C)ommunity of like-minded good people. Props to everyone involved. Will definitely be back. @AcidBowlsClub approved.

am a french chef crazy about spanish food The croquettas are okey ..after i choose an octopus closed to 15 english pounds !!!In my life i travel a lot and ate octopus in all the world !!This one was the smallest portion and the most expensive and the most chewy! they gave me a small plate with 5 pieces of octopus big as a 5 cents coin plus 6 slices of potatoes As a former chef and owner of 2 restaurants in Paris it was for me the most awful octopus i got The waiter is not bad but you can see they are here to make money and no to make their Clients happy

Had a lovely meal at the Market restaurant for my wife's birthday this evening. The food was delicious and the service was outstanding. Our server (Michael I believe from our bill) went out of his way to ensure my wife had a great birthday Would definitely recommend if you like your tapas

Great staff, great food, amazing wine, brilliant atmosphere and the margarita's VAMOS !!!

Amazing tapas small plates. The goats cheese churros with honey are the best. They are constantly changing the menu which means it's a new experience every time you visit. It is pretty expensive but overall it's definitely worth the money!

We had a fantastic evening at Market Restaurant! We had the midweek set menu for 2 which we thought was really good value for the amount and quality of the food we had. So many different flavours and combinations! Friendly, attentive service and a great vibe going on! What’s not to like!

Small tapas place had 4 tapas between 2 of us for light lunch then made it heavy by having wonderful Basque cheesecake and a chocolate and hazelnut dessert. The food was excellent and the service fast!

Had a lovely experience Sat at the bar watching the chef create the dishes. Staff super friendly. Food was amazing Goats cheese churros are incredible. A bit pricey but worth it. Will definitely go back Xx

£££ The food was sensational. Goats cheese churros with truffle honey, Wagu steak! The venue is quaint with few seats making the atmosphere feel cosy and friendly. A real gem on Western Road Hove.

Excellent food and service My favorite was the prawns, sauce was amazing. Thanks guys 👍👍

The Best spanish tapas bar in Brighton, High quality cuisine and better service. A close relationship with the service and with a lot of knowledge.

Fantastic restaurant. We recently held a private party in their room downstairs and the service was exemplary, food amazing, and cocktails top notch. The menus catered perfectly for four generations of guests from a 4-year-old to her great grandmother. Vegetarian options were divine; we highly recommend the smoked beets. Market staff went out of their way to make a special day extra special and we can't recommend them enough.

The food and service were just insanely good. The goats cheese churros are amazing! Please keep the tuna special on your menu too - so want to be able to come back for it again!

Fantastic food. Lovely friendly staff. We sat at the bar for Sunday lunch. So relaxed and friendly ! Had a memorable Sunday afternoon. I highly recommend it. Try the Octopus...sauce to die for ! Will definitely be back. Thankyou all for a great afternoon .

Tasty food, some lovely inventive creations, the beetroot was really good, great combo with the hazelnuts. The scallops were great but, a nice attention to detail would have been to portion accordingly for 2 people…we were served 3, which I think is a little odd. It’s a pricey place but, we’re fine with that as the food quality reflects this, everything we had was lovely and nicely cooked and presented. Our only criticism is that, where we were seated, at the far end of the bar, wasn’t the greatest experience. Part of our dining area was being used as the pass which cut down on our space, and we could hear the staff moaning about everything which was quite unprofessional. We kind of felt that we were sat in the kitchen and were party to conversations and banter that maybe we shouldn’t have been. I’m sure if we were sat at a table, it would have been a different experience. Overall, a nice place and if we return, I’ll be sure to ask to sit further down the bar or on a table.

Our first time here. We had an amazing time. One of the best, right up at the top of the list. The service, atmosphere, food and drink were all outstanding. The chocolate dessert is the best. Can’t wait to come again. Thank you so much for such a memorable evening.

Lovely venue and great staff. Such care taken with really thoughtful dishes and the wine and drinks are excellent quality. Highly Recommend - sit at the bar for tips and little extras to taste. Fabulous!

We visited in September, excellent food, fab service, delicious cocktails and just a brilliant meal. Loved the Lemon-Aid cocktail particularly.

Dissapointing experience. Attended for a friends birthday. One of the staff serving downstairs appeared unable to focus or listen correctly therefore the service was erratic with incorrect starters and main courses arriving. The management stepped in and the young Irish waitress who took over was lovely, very attentive and apologetic (She was faultless). The food was amazing in taste although I struggle to understand how a plate with approx 3 mushrooms and a 1/4 of mozzarella cheese cost £12!. One very dissapointing aspect was that the toilets were very dirty, very grubby doors, stains on walls and floors. So sum it up the food is uber tasty but the venue, and cleanliness let it down.

Lovely food with a really cosy atmosphere and great friendly service from the staff! 10/10 would recommend! 11/10 would recommend the goats cheese churros 🤤

Wagu steak to die for - nice vibe - food and drink definitely the highlight would go again would do 4.5 if it was an option.

One of our local favourites. Excellent quality food and good service. Thank you!

Food is really good, no problem there. Wine is very expensive. Basement was very noisy and the worst thing is the decor. It's grubby and dirty. Stairs, walls, toilets - yuk. Glad I only saw it after eating.

Really good modern Spanish inspired small plates. Excellent food, the beef short rib is amazing and worth the visit alone but everything we had was good (spreadable chorizo mmmm).

Visited with my daughter last night, we had a lovely time. A great ambience, we sat at the bar had a lovely cocktail and ordered several tapas dishes which were all superb. Will return soon hopefully when back in Brighton

Very overpriced. Very small portions. Waiter was quite rude. Food tasted good apart from the 3 prawns which were v small had no meat for like 15 quid and the brushetta is literally 1 piece of bread for like 7 quid lol

Great food, original recipes, lovely staff, will return!

Beautiful restaurant and absolutely delicious food from start to end with attentive friendly service. Decided to have the goats cheese churros with honey for desert. Such a good choice, loved them! Highly recommend going and we'll definitely be back to sample more of the menu.

Fantastic service and excellent food and wine

Great staff, poor food. Don't bother

10/10 amazing food, service was so relaxed but attentive at the same time. Great restaurant, great staff!

Had a fabulous meal here a couple of weeks ago! I live in Spain so i have high expectations of tapas and i was NOT disappointed!!! Great classic Spanish dishes and some with a gorgeous little twist! Lovely friendly atmosphere - great wine menu, the Verdejo definitely went down very easily! An absolutely wonderful restaurant!!!

Market does amazing food and has a lovely atmosphere. Margo is a great host and Adrian is one of the finest chefs in Brighton. A place everyone has to experience at least once.❤️

Food tastes great, but portions a quite small.

Fantastic selection of tapas and drinks, amazing service, will be back again.

Very nice atmosphere, great amount of options without being overwhelming. Staff incredibly friendly. We were offered to sit either at the bar or downstairs. We opted to sit downstairs after the waitress described it as "deliciously cool." This description proved to be apt. We found ourselves ordering various small bits off of the menu, staying for a good two to three hours. Would definitely recommend booking for a date in particular as the venue provided the atmosphere and ambience, whilst also not being so loud as to intrude upon conversation. Many thanks to the staff for a lovely evening :)

We had an amazing time. The staff was super friendly, very nice ambiance and the food… the food was splendid! The ribs melt in our mouth and the gambas were so good we soaked up the sauce with bread. 100% recommend !

Brilliant restaurant...food was excellent and a nice chilled evening...recommend 👍 ⭐️🌟

loved this restaurant. we had some of the best food I've had in Brighton, I'm still thinking about the goats cheese churros with truffle honey! vibe was nice and chill, staff were friendly, not too expensive!

Tad too expensive for me...for the amount of food served. Very small portions. We all still felt hungry afterwards. But can I say...putting that aside the food was DELICIOUS 😋 The meatballs and potato croquettes were amazing, highly recommended 🌟🌟

Phenomenal food and service, we’ve been twice and can’t wait to go back. Everything we had was delicious, the smoked beetroot dish is otherworldly!

Great selection of tasty tapas. Very good service.

Great atmosphere, good food and service by Gems was amazing

We revisited Brighton after many years. We stumbled across Market and had a brilliant selection of tapas. It was delicious. Who knew you could get goats cheese churros.

Just had the most amazing anniversary dinner at Market Restaurant. Menu was unbelievable - all courses were so creative and delicious (the goats cheese churros were next level) and the staff were all fantastic. 10/10 experience all round.
