A restaurant has reopened to serve chargrilled steaks in a cosy setting. Kindling in Brighton reopened its doors under new ownership this year led by head chef Ewan Cullen . The menu at the East Street restaurant is centred on its steaks cooked on a natural, additive-free charcoal grill, accompanied by other meals such as burgers, salads and vegetarian options.
We visited to try out the new menu and the fresh revamp of the restaurant. We were looked after by Minky Lee for the evening, who co-manages the restaurant with Ramin Mostowfi. Upon entering the restaurant, the intimate but inviting atmosphere made you feel immediately welcome.

Guests can also watch chefs prepare their food over the coals and live fire in the open kitchen.

We chose a bottle of the New Zealand Topuku Sauvignon blanc to accompany the meal and went for the grilled focaccia with Kindling signature coriander, lemon and garlic hummus, as well as the brisket and jalapeño croquettes with tomato basil dip, to kick things off. .
