The Salt Room

106 King's Rd, Brighton

New kid on the beachside scene, just opposite West Pier, this ‘nouveau nautical’ style restaurant is a hot pick. Headed by the team behind local favourite The Coal Shed, Dave Mothersill’s modern British menu champions local and sustainable ingredients, with a great selection of fresh seafood and meats Josper-grilled over charcoal. It boasts uninterrupted sea views, whether you perch at the bar or dine on the spacious terrace. Order a signature ‘surfboard’ selection of grilled fish followed by a ‘99 with all the trimmings. A ‘sailor’s tipple’ with thyme vodka and smoked salt is essential drinking. BG. 01273 929488, saltroomrestaurant.co.uk
