Review of Riddle & Finns The Beach Menu
Address: 65 Kings Rd, Brighton BN1 1NA, United Kingdom
Tucked along Brighton's seafront with sweeping views of the iconic pebbled beach, Riddle & Finns The Beach offers an exquisite seafood experience that effortlessly blends elegance with a relaxed coastal charm. The Riddle & Finns The Beach Menu is a celebration of premium British seafood, brought to life with refined culinary techniques and bold seasonal flavours.
Standout dishes include the impeccably fresh oysters, served both natural and grilled, each briny bite a testament to the restaurant’s commitment to quality sourcing. The champagne and oyster pairing alone makes a visit worthwhile. For mains, the lobster thermidor is a classic indulgence, while the pan-fried scallops on pea purée show off balance and finesse. The seafood linguine, generously loaded with prawns, mussels, and clams, showcases robust, homestyle flavours with restaurant-quality precision.
What sets this menu apart is the combination of raw bar excellence and warm cooked dishes that cater to a range of tastes-from the adventurous (think ceviche and sashimi) to the comfort-seeking diner. Vegetarian and meat alternatives are limited but thoughtfully curated, with a wild mushroom risotto proving a satisfying exception.
The atmosphere is lively yet intimate, with large windows flooding the space with natural light and offering unobstructed views of the sea. Service is knowledgeable, particularly when it comes to pairing wines or explaining daily specials-a clear reflection of staff training and pride.
While prices sit on the higher end, the quality of seafood and beachside setting more than justify the cost. For anyone looking to enjoy premium seafood in Brighton, Riddle & Finns The Beach is a top-tier destination that blends product expertise with memorable seaside dining.
