Chez Mal at Malmaison Brighton
Chez Mal is set in the prime position of Brighton’s bustling marina, part of the Malmaison Hotel and open to all for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The view alone should bring you here as the Malmaison boasts the biggest and best terrace in Brighton for overlooking the sea. Their food and drink are a further reason to venture out of the city centre to get well fed in comfortable and elegant surroundings. As well as its modern British and French-inspired menu, Chez Mal is known for its famous Afternoon Tea and Cocktail Making Parties, making it a popular choice for celebrations, birthdays, group dining and get-togethers in Brighton.
The Menu
Chez Mal at Malmaison Brighton brings modern British brasserie dining together with a subtle French twist, serving classic and seasonal dishes with a contemporary edge. Located at Brighton Marina, the restaurant’s friendly team serves up a menu centred around quality, flavour and prime grass-fed British beef, with succulent steaks, generous sides and bold dishes inspired by flavours from around the world.
Modern cooking techniques meet traditional brasserie favourites, with dishes fired up on the Konro and Josper grills for a distinctive depth of flavour. Tradition is respected with classic well loved dishes, but innovation is embraced for those bold enough to try, together choosing Chez Mal is a food forward British dining experience with a little more fire. From relaxed lunches and dinners to steak nights and special occasions, Chez Mal at Brighton Marina offers a little something for everyone.
Afternoon Tea
The Malmaison has always been a firm favourite for an Afternoon Tea – and we know why. They add the element of surprise to this beloved dining experience in all the right ways. They love the tradition of sipping tea, or bubbles, munching on a dainty sandwich – but prefer to add a twist or two in terms of seasonality or trends…a cunning way to keep you coming back for more. As well as the afternoon tea delights, the location is just perfect for a gathering. The vibe is chilled, whilst the decor is chic – and on a sunny day there is no better place to be than sitting on the terrace, soaking up the sun with a glass of fizz in hand.
Cocktails
Cocktails at the Chez Mal are next level good. The menu is inspired by Château Malmaison, whose famous residents were Napoleon & Josephine. Their playful cocktails swirl around the themes of Love, Infidelity, Forgiveness and Power – storytelling alongside brilliant mixology is a real treat here. The menu has twists and turns that will delight. Bad Boy Good Girl is a cheeky zesty drink in the Infidelity menu, the Truffle Negroni loaded with intent on the Power menu. There are of course all the classic cocktails too alongside great beers, wines and spirits.

Get the Party Started at Malmaison Brighton
We’ve waxed lyrical about the prime location of Chez Mal so it should be no surprise that we recommend it for future parties and meeting space too. The Bar, the restaurant, the terrace and the adjoining rooms are all gorgeous, spacious …and did we already mention free parking! There is a secret room within a room in the main dining area – a table for 16 surrounded by sheer drapes that can be closed up enough for your dinner party to feel private, but still very much picking up the atmosphere of the evening.

Getting There
The Malmaison in Brighton is such a lovely venue to visit. The location is excellent and the views are stunning as it sits on the marina. We had a cooked breakfast and it was faultless. The staff are welcoming and friendly and go above and beyond to make your stay memorable. The rooms are nicely decorated and very clean. We always stay here when we visit Brighton and I highly recommend. We love, love, love, love this boutique hotel.
Sunday menu is best in Brighton. Get there early. Excellent farmers table selection
Visited Malmaison for Sunday lunch and it was really good food and service. Also had afternoon tea which was different to the usual conventional offering. We had wraps and mini burgers, great scones and lovely assortment of cakes
No expense spared, modern, trendy and quite magnificent. Superb Sunday sharing lunch . Farmers table followed by beef which was presented on an elegant table stand which included all the trimmings. Highly recommended!
