A superb meal. Beautifully cooked turbot and sea trout plus a very tasty plate of mussels. The chef has a great feeling for lightness and taste. I would strongly recommend this restaurant. Good wine too

This was our sixth visit to the Little Fish Market. And once again the food was beyond delicious; the atmosphere warm and welcoming and the service impeccable. A truly wonderful experience from start to finish.

We had a lovely meal here mid-week. The food was excellent, the set menu was imaginative (and also meant we did not have to tackle the quandry of what to choose!), the pace of the overall meal was well-judged, and we were surprisingly full at the end of it. The waiter was charming and knowledgeable. The only challenge was the steepness of the steps down to where the toilet is - they could be a problem if you are not so agile or mobile.

I give this restaurant full marks not just for the exquisite food and wine but for also for the ambience. Although this restaurant is small, the tables have enough space around them to feel private. We were never rushed and this was really appreciated as we were meeting very old friends and had a lot of catching up to do. The front of house was delightfully attentive when appropriate. Fixed price menu was very reasonable with a good selection of wines.Will be returning!

Superb fish dishes - subtle yet complex flavours, beautifully presented. The desert, new this week, was also a treat. The wine advice is always good and the service friendly, low key and efficient. We will return! Thank you.

Best meal I’ve had in the UK and a host who knew his job brilliantly. Compared to the prices I’ve paid in many prestige restaurants this is astonishingly good value

Had dinner here last night with my husband for my birthday treat. Absolutely fantastic experience. The restaurant is so confortable, cosy, relaxed. All the five courses were out of this world. Everything was so delicious and the restaurant is professionally run but also Rob was so friendly and made us feel welcome. An absolute gem. We can’t wait to go back.

I cannot fault this restaurant in any way at all. Everything about it was perfect, from the food to the service and also the drink - where even those driving can have something delicious rather than the normal offerings. Thank you for a wonderful meal and evening.

My heaven selection of dishes in one sitting! Beautifully presented, tasty, well balanced dishes delivered in a well paced, informal atmosphere. It’s a small dining room and feels like dining with friends. Rob looks after the diners with amazing detail to attention, from serving dishes, to orders for drinks, perfectly made coffees and beautifully hand written bills. Thanks for my birthday fizz too, a lovely surprise.

This was the second time my wife and I have eaten at The Little Fish Market and it was once again outstanding. From the moment we arrived we were remembered and made to feel very welcome. The menu sounded excellent and every course surpassed my expectations. The chef did a marvelous job with combination of flavors complimenting each other and everything was cooked to perfection. This has become our favorite restaurant in the Sussex area.

Second visit to the restaurant and second time enjoying its taster menu. The whole experience, food, accompanying selection of wines, and service were excellent. Most memorable dish was turbot served in a seafood sauce, delicious. The chef achieves a superb balance of the ingredients in each and every dish. Would recommend it highly, particularly to anyone who enjoys fish and seafood. I look forward to my next visit.

Excellent and inventive food covering a range of fish dishes with extraordinary tastes. Very relaxed but attentive service allowing for a full evening of indulgence. But it does come at a high price and is an exceptional treat.

Excellent service from the charming maitre d' come waiter and a pleasant room with good space between tables. The menu was somewhat one dimensional with most dishes cream/sauce based and lacking body and crunch. They were also not piping hot which is always a worry with seafood. The turbot dish was most disappointing with a small portion of fish lost in a large puddle of shellfish sauce with a strong pernod taste. Wine and apertifs were well priced and excellent but overall disappointed with the food.

A little gem of a restaurant. The service fronm front of house was atentive, charming and happiness was the order of the day. The chefs are very creative and thoughtful when they created the menue and each savory course completed each other as the flavors flowed from one dish to the next. Fine dinning experice was had and I would highly recoment this establishment to all those fish loving eaters. You to may be blown away by the presentation, flavours and textures

One of the best restaurants I have been too - anywhere! The slightly tired interior is instantly forgiven given the integrity of the dining experience. The Waiter was extraordinary. The food was innovative, delicious and intelligent. Worth every pound - not cheap - but a great experience.

Tonight was our first time at The Little Fish Market, and certainly not our last - we had a wonderful evening! The location is ideal, nestled in a quiet residential area just off the high street. Inside it feels very homely although service is likened to a Michelin star - without the fuss but very much personalised. Fish is king of the menu of course, mainly focusing on local and seasonal, but it is the cooking that really highlights the quality of the ingredients: simple, well balanced pairings and seasoning, and a menu well structured that flows right until the end. Best fish restaurant tried in Brighton so far. Thank you Duncan and the team!

We love this place it is so small but the food is made and served with passion. The waiter is very friendly, chatty about the food and wine. The glasses were filled up when required but not done in a way that would finish the bottle off so you order more. The food was stunning. The only miss was the turbot. The sauce it was in was lovely but over powered the turbot. Cannot wait to go back.

Absolutely outstanding! Head and shoulders above the rest. A fine dining experience that is delicious, well presented and pleasantly informal. With enough space between each course that you could converse and almost forget that another was on its way. Each dish is inventive and utterly divine. Honestly, start to finish it was one of the finest fish suppers I've ever had the pleasure of tasting!

Super and unique experience. Amazing food, style (beautifully simple) and lovely service. My only comment would be that I’d like to see another menu, one that’s simpler, more affordable. An every day menu. It would mean I could visit more frequently.
