This is the philosophy of our neighbourhood restaurant FUMI, located in the centre of Brighton. A slow restaurant in a fast-moving city, FUMI is a place where flavours, service and interiors are harmonious.A simple Japanese inspired menu driven by the seasons, our moods and by whatever is fresh and exciting in the moment. At FUMI, we source all our produce, meats and fish from small, local suppliers.

    Really good Japanese food. Tweaked, as in not super traditional, but well executed and delicious. Homemade pickles, divine miso aubergine, great shortribs, and of course sashimi. Interesting desserts too. Wouls recommend.

    The food was exceptional. Lovely environment with friendly joyful staff who went above and beyond to make a fabulous dining experience. A lot of thought and passion goes into creating their food. The depth and intensity of flavour of the udon noodles broth was the best we have ever had. Came away feeling nourished and happy.

    We had a family lunch for 5 people. We went for the vegan option on the set meal. This was an absolutely fabulous set of dishes, including a vegan duck option as a middle course. We also enjoyed a couple of glasses of the Chapel Down sparkling rose - delightful. The food is absolutely delicious and the service is attentive. Gars remains the best Chinese restaurant in Brighton. We're definitely coming back.
