About the restaurant

Dine in our blossom dining room or at our sushi cocktail bar

Our mission is to provide pure, plant-powered meals that are good for your body. Our approach is knowledgeable, playful, and engaging. We offer a unique opportunity to experience a different way of eating vegetables and discover new flavours and textures. Talented chefs behind Food For Friends restaurant (established in 1981 as Brighton’s first vegetarian restaurant), Botanique (Hove’s exclusive plant based restaurant) and Wolfox Coffee have put together their experience and knowledge to bring you this new Asian inspired plant based concept.

The result is a creative and colourful menu which shows organic plant-based food can lead to surprising, healthy and mindful new eating experiences. We believe in an upgraded casual dining experience in beautiful light-filled spaces dedicated to natural plant-based food and organic wines.

Well executed dishes and flavour combinations, especially the tofu massaman, aubergine sushi, gyoza and soba noodles. The aubergine pad cha was less interesting. Delicious and creative desserts- the Thai tea cheesecake and coconut parfait sando were fab. Lovely service from the waiter and very accommodating with our 2 month old baby.

Bill (the man, the myth, the Lewes legend) was born and bred here. It’s the original and dare we say it, still the best Bill’s of all – and not only because it’s our first born. Located right by the river, Bill's Lewes is the perfect spot for breakfast, lunch or dinner!

About the restaurant

There’s a saying in Japan, ‘Ichi-go ichi-e,’ which means, every moment is one-of-a-kind and something to be treasured. This is the philosophy of our neighbourhood restaurant FUMI, located in the centre of Brighton.
A slow restaurant in a fast-moving city, FUMI is a place where flavours, service and interiors are harmonious.
A simple Japanese inspired menu driven by the seasons, our moods and by whatever is fresh and exciting in the moment.

At FUMI, we source all our produce, meats and fish from small, local suppliers. Nothing is mass-produced or served out of season, with everything we create coming directly from the farm to your table. Each meal at FUMI is a celebration of bountiful harvests, beloved community, and our favourite pairing of food and friends.
We hope you enjoy.

Every mouthful was absolutely delicious. As veggies we found it easy to choose a varied and exciting dinner. The sushi was crisp, fresh and very tasty, the aubergine was the best I’ve had (genius to have it cut up: melt-in-the-mouth tender and much easier to approach with chopsticks!). We also had the cauliflower ‘steak’ and veggie donburi, both of which were rich with complex flavours, nuanced and delicious. The service was friendly and attentive. It was very quiet when we were there.
