MARKET Restaurant & Kitchen Bar, Hove
MARKET Restaurant Hove was established in 2015 by the experienced restaurateur and designer/chef Neil Mannifield (Manni). The Brighton and Hove restaurant was named and inspired from stumbling upon the old Camden Market sign at an antiques fair, which now adorns the front of the building with pride.
A TRADITIONAL MARKET SETTING
A long counter features in the main restaurant from where diners are entertained by the chefs and cocktail staff whilst enjoying the fresh, modern look and feel of the interior which was designed and built by Manni himself to give the feel of a traditional market and Spanish tapas bar.
An array of Jamons hang from the ceiling but ultimately the décor at MARKET shouts Modern Tapas which is exactly what this Hove restaurant is all about and unique to Brighton. Go downstairs to 42d DOWNMARKET and discover more of the same but with a more intimate feel. This flexible private dining space is perfect for both party groups and private diners alike.
PERFECT FOR SHARING
Tapas at MARKET is varied, Mediterranean and innovative and aptly presented on the menu under the headings ‘Spanish Deli’, ‘The Tapas Bar’, ‘Best of Sussex’ and the ‘Market Place’. Expect to see traditional Spanish tapas such as ‘Croquetas de Jamon’, ‘Pichos de Pollo’ and traditional desserts such as the ‘Santiago Tart’ but also more modern and unique favourites, including some veggie and vegan dishes, such as Market’s ‘almost famous’ ‘Goats’ Cheese Churros with Truffle Honey’, ‘Tallo de Brocoli with Kale Zaatar and Almonds’ and the moreish ‘Smoked Cashew Croquetas with Orange Emulsion’.
You’ll discover dishes like Cochinillo (Suckling Pig, Romesco, Calcots), Alemejas (Clams, White Beans, Manzanilla Sherry) and fall off the bone Pequena Costilla (Glazed Beef Short Rib, Anchovy Garlic Butter, Cabbage).
The menu also features a delicious range of Spanish cured meats, fish and Spanish regional cheeses, including of course, the Iberico Cebo de Campo Jamon and these can all be enjoyed separately or as a selection on a board. Due to the wide range on offer, all dietary requirements are very well catered for at this Hove restaurant, so if you are an omnivore or a vegan you can be sure to leave satisfied as there is literally something for everybody.
SUNDAYS AT MARKET
The Market Restaurant offers a slightly different approach to Sunday roasts by switching out the traditional roast meat, potatoes and two veg approach with a Spanish Suckling pig to share, plus three tapas accompaniments which are taken from the a la carte menu. They also run their usual daily menu and other daily specials alongside their Brighton Sunday best.
DRINKS AT MARKET RESTAURANT
The exciting and niche wine list features an entirely Spanish selection, with a couple of local Sussex sparkling wines added for good measure, and has been carefully chosen to match the food. Beers are all sourced from Spain and available on tap and by the bottle, but again like the wine list, local artisans are represented with an amazing Cider which is produced by our beef supplier ‘Trenchmore Farm’ who use the bi-product of the cider process to feed their slow-grown premium cattle.
Market restaurant is also known for its superb range of cocktails, many of which, as you’d expect, feature a Spanish twist or two and some use rare Spanish spirits, such as the Nomad Whiskey, which is produced in Jerez and features in our ‘Spanish Old Fashioned’.

Getting There
INFO
Our first visit back to Market in a while, and we were delighted! This is a restaurant which knows what it is doing and does it so well. A rare find in Brighton and Hove where the stylish decor, and knowledgable, friendly front of house match the quality of the ingredients and delivery from the kitchen. Our group particularly enjoyed the mackerel, and the aubergine dishes. But we wanted to order much more than we could eat! Thank you Market; we will be back soon!
I live close to Market restaurant which is fortunate as it’s one of my favourite B&H eateries! The staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Kate, the manager, is a true gem.
The food is very reasonably priced for the quality and standard. I’ve been there for dinner for two, a birthday celebration and brunch. The food never disappoints and the brunch is out of the world good.
If you haven’t yet been to Market you absolutely must go, stat!
A vibrant and buzzing local restaurant/wine bar that serves tapas dishes and great wines. Love the green tiles and the feel inside the restaurant which is always lively and enticing. Food is delicious with lots of European influences and interesting combinations of flavours and textures. Definitely worth checking out and spending an evening working through the small dishes and wines.
Buzzy place, a great variety of small dishes packed with flavour.
A great choice if you want to graze through their different menu sections – from the butcher, from the baker, from the fishmonger which is a fun way to do things.
Most fun dining we have had in Hove for ages! Well done Market keep up the good work.
