I recently visited @soraskybar at @malmaisonhotels which has popped up at Brighton Marina for the summer (until 31st August), and it’s such a lovely spot for an evening out. The balcony overlooking the marina is gorgeous, especially on a sunny evening, making it the perfect place to enjoy a few cocktails and watch the world go by. ☀️✨
We tried a selection of dishes, including the Green Dragon Sushi (tempura prawn, salmon, avocado, sesame, yuzu kosho & sriracha), which was packed with flavour and definitely one of my favourites! 🍣 We also enjoyed the Sticky Pork Belly, Black Cod, Chicken Teriyaki and Iberico Pork Cutlet, all delicious and perfect for sharing
As a huge fan of Korean Fried Cauliflower, I couldn’t resist trying theirs too. While it wasn’t the best version I’ve had in Brighton, it was still really tasty and worth ordering alongside the other dishes
The cocktails were also a highlight, especially Yuzu Mojito, with fresh, Japanese inspired flavours that paired perfectly with the food. I’d happily come back just for drinks on the balcony overlooking the marina!
They’re also showing the football at the moment, so it’s a great spot to catch a game while enjoying Asian inspired small plates and cocktails with friends ⚽️
If you’re around Brighton Marina this summer, I’d definitely recommend giving Sora a try before it disappears at the end of August! Thanks so much to the team for having me!
I was invited to try this one. As always, all opinions are my own.
