Furna

This may be one of my favourite spots for a gorgeous fine dining meal or a special dinner, but did you know you can also drop in to @furnarestaurant for cocktails and snacks at their beautiful bar? It’s the perfect setting for an aperitif or a nightcap, elegant, upmarket, and effortlessly inviting

I recently visited for exactly that before heading out to dinner with friends, and it was the ideal start to our evening. I ordered one of their signature cocktails, the Velvet Spores (a blend of mezcal, Campari, porcini vermouth, and chocolate bitters). It was absolutely delicious, crafted with such care and precision, and truly the perfect way to begin the night

We also enjoyed a few snacks from the kitchen, including the iconic Parker House bread, which I still say is the best bread in Brighton. It was served with an exceptional cod roe, and we couldn’t resist the tuna bite, beautifully presented and unbelievably tasty

I honestly could have stayed there all night. The atmosphere was serene yet full of great energy, making it a wonderful prelude to the rest of the evening. If you haven’t been to Furna before, stopping by the bar is a great way to get a feel for the place before diving into the full menu. No need to book, just walk in if there’s space and enjoy your evening. Big love to @davemothersill as always 🫶🏼
