Riddle and Finns Brighton

Riddle and Finns – Fish and seafood restaurant

Riddle and Finns is all about classic seafood dishes, marble topped tables, candelabra and chandeliers. They are located on a wonderful discreet side street called Meeting House Lane, off Brighton’s North Street in the Brighton Lanes.

Their seafood is impeccably sourced very locally at Brighton Newhaven Fish Sales.

At this unique Sussex Restaurant things are a little bit different. There aren’t many places in Brighton where you can watch a team of chefs busy at work as they prepare your food for you in this open kitchen style environment. It really is exciting to watch as the orders flow from the front of house team at Riddle and Finns and you can eavesdrop on the talented chefs at work.

Riddle and Finns serve only the finest quality fresh Brighton seafood, in a relaxed stylish surrounding with friendly and knowledgeable service. They buy most of their fish and seafood from the fish market at Hove Lagoon where the fish are caught just off Brighton beach.

Restaurant reviewers love this restaurant too and it very rarely disappoints. This is Jay Rayners take on his experience at Riddle and Finns;

They understand the virtues of simplicity. Ingredients come first. Appetite rules. Neanderthal man would love it – Jay Rayner.

At this Brighton seafood restaurant they have a traditional wet fish counter which also means that you can select a fish and then take it home with you – Riddle and Finns will even give you recommendations as to how to cook it and which ingredients to match it with.
