  “I cannot recommend this place highly enough! Honestly, the best experience we’ve had for years. Creative dishes, Just full of flavour. Loved the tasting plate idea. Didn’t want the Experience to end! The aubergine and the prawns were simply epic! Loved the burrata with the peach was incredible. They don’t have a kids menu, But were very happy to accommodate something simple for our daughter. It has a very chilled Vibe with very friendly service. Cocktails were delicious! I cannot wait to go back.”

  “Amazing evening at Burnt Orange. The food was incredible. By far the best dining experience we've ever had. The food was out of this world, beautiful atmosphere and exceptional service by Kirstie and the team. Made to feel very welcome. Thank you.”

  “Came for my partners birthday and this has been on my list for ages! We chose the counter seating so we could see the food being cooked and have a different experience to just sitting at a normal table at a restaurant. Safe to say, it did not disappoint. The vibes of the place, the smell, the food - incredible! We were greeted and seen to our table by the gorgeous Zara, who made our experience absolutely incredible. She is a real credit to the burnt orange team. So friendly, warm and knowledgable! We had the grilled marinaded prawns to start (absolutely mind blowing and I would pay for the recipe!!! You HAVE to get these) and spiced calamari fritti calamari to start. Pork collar, bbq chicken thigh, roasted cod and sprouting broccoli. I mentioned on the booking it was my partners birthday that day and got a little complimentary sweet treat for desert 🥲 We will 100% be back and cannot recommend enough!! The manager didn’t seem to fit the feel and friendliness of the place I must say!”

  “First visit to this amazing restaurant through recommendation. Everything was perfect from the hospitality to the food. Every dish was special but our favourites were the citrus cured Bass and the Lamb chops (some of the best Lamb I have had) Definitely a venue we would return to if in Brighton again.”

  “We had a great time at Burnt Orange. The food was fantastic and the service was friendly and enthusiastic. Our waitress was Zara and she was charming and gave good advice. Every dish was delicious but the Cabbage and Muhamara was especially good. I’d also recommend the desserts; the whipped mascarpone was lovely. We sat at the counter which was a lot of fun - watching the kitchen passed the time very enjoyably.”

  “Great tapas food, particular highlights not to miss, in order of tastiness: Miso aubergine BBQ pork Calamari Sea bream A very nice meal in all, slow service, but very friendly. For the price and when it’s busy (which seems like it’s always busy) they might be better with a few more staff around,, Definitely worth a visit 🔥👌🏻”

  “If there was a higher rating than a '5', like a 'special mention or a gold star', I would award it to Burnt Orange, for our exceptional meal and wonderful experience on Sunday for my daughters 21st birthday. After a 'nearly didn't make it from London' moment, we were welcomed warmly and assured that it wasn't a problem, despite how busy the restaurant was. We began with cocktails; my Gin/Lemon Verbena Gimlet was exceptional, my husband had the delicious Burnt Orange Martini and my daughter a properly spicy Pineapple Picante. We opted for a light, fruity, Chenin Blanc which was a perfect choice to go with the food. As a party of 3 we had a 'Burnt Orange Experience Menu' for 2 and some additional dishes from the main Vegetarian menu. The menu is designed as sharing plates, with a recommendation of 3-4 per person across the starters and main courses. Although I am not a meat eater the addition of two vegetarian dishes and an extra starter was more than enough for three people; as the experience menu had a lot of vegetarian food on it. Everything was tasty and memorable, but my absolute favourite dishes were the Miso Aubergine, a Spinach, Feta and Filo dish, sumptuous grilled prawns and the Hispy Cabbage. I honestly cant recommend Burnt Orange highly enough, from its beautiful, tactile and rustic interior with warm earthy and muted neutral colour palate, to its beautiful warm, earthy food, exceptional cocktails and absolutely lovely waiting staff. We were looking for something special, and found it here..I look forward to returning to this beautiful restaurant; it's an absolute gem, a bright star amongst sea of eateries in Brighton.”

  “Burnt Orange was honestly one of the nicest dining experiences I’ve had in a long time and easily one of the best restaurants I visited in Brighton. From the moment we walked in, everything about the place felt special. The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful — really stylish and cosy without feeling pretentious, and the whole restaurant has such a warm and relaxed vibe to it. The staff were amazing from start to finish. Everyone was so welcoming, friendly and attentive, and you could tell they genuinely cared about making sure people had a great experience. The service was spot on throughout the night. Even though the restaurant was busy, everything felt really smooth and well organised, and we never felt rushed at any point. The food was absolutely incredible. Every dish we ordered was packed full of flavour and presented beautifully. You can really tell there’s so much care and attention put into every plate. Everything tasted fresh, high quality and perfectly cooked. The menu is so interesting and different compared to a lot of places, and every dish felt really thought through. It’s the kind of restaurant where you end up talking about the food afterwards because it was that good. The cocktails were also unreal and probably some of the best I’ve had in a long time. Everything felt really premium and well made, and the drinks perfectly matched the whole atmosphere of the restaurant. One thing that really stood out was how good the overall experience was, not just the food. Sometimes restaurants can have amazing food but the atmosphere or service lets it down, but Burnt Orange got absolutely everything right. The music, lighting, decor, staff and food all came together perfectly and made the whole night feel really special. You can tell why this place is so highly rated and talked about. It genuinely lives up to the hype. I would recommend Burnt Orange to absolutely anyone visiting Brighton or even locals looking for somewhere special to go. Amazing food, beautiful atmosphere, fantastic staff and an overall experience that was genuinely hard to fault. Can’t wait to come back again.”

  “This is our second time going to Burnt Orange the first time was also AMAZING! Last time, my family and I got the experience menu which was £40 per person. That was super fun and a ton of great food. This time me and my partner went and we shared six dishes. We got the spiced calamari fritti, mackerel in oats, BBQ pork collar, skillet baked potatoes, charred summer squash, and sprouting broccoli. I also got the no alcohol cherry amaretti sour. My favourites were the cherry amaretti sour, the mackerel in oats, and the sprouting broccoli. The pork collar was a little too thick and chewy for my liking, that’s personal preference. Last time I remember really liking the white bean hummus and the smoked lamb cigars.”
