Carne

I visited the newest restaurant in Hove last week which has only been open for a couple of weeks now and had a really enjoyable experience

This is local chef @bartleyphil Phil Bartley’s new restaurant and focuses on high welfare meat and locally and sustainable sourced produce

The decor is lovely and I really enjoyed the sofa area where you can enjoy a cocktail or glass of wine in a relaxed environment. The menu specialises in steak but also has an array fish, pasta and burgers to pick from also. The drinks menu was on an iPad which was presented to you by the restaurants sommelier who recommended wines for you as well as being able to browse the iPad yourself. As nice as this was, I felt it was a little impractical and quite complicated if you just want to order a glass of wine or look at a menu. The manager said that some paper menus were coming for cocktails and other drinks and would look into getting some paper wine menus in case someone asked for one

The scallop starter was lovely and the fillet steak was cooked to perfection. I wasn’t so keen on the steak being served in so much better but I was able to get a side plate to transfer the steak to so I could add my sides and sauce without them drowning in butter too. The Truffle & Parmasan fries didn’t look much but tasted amazing, would highly recommend getting these if you visit!

Really enjoyable meal with lovely decor and atmosphere. For a restaurant that has only been open a week when I visited, I think they are doing really well. I look forward to coming back

I was invited to try this one. As always, all opinions are my own.
