About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Good for groups
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.

    Was a really really nice place for date night, was fancy but not too fancy that you felt out of place, the service was brilliant, the food came out at a decent time not too quick not too long and was some of the tastiest food I have had in a long time, definitely recommend trying 1 of evertthing small and have a main to yourself. Don’t forget to have the cocktails too they’re brilliant.

    The restaurant is beautiful, food is great but there were no atmosphere, half empty, no ambient music, a bit soulless.

    FUMI was wonderful. Put simply it has now become one of my favourite restaurants. The service was excellent, just the right balance both professional and relaxed at the same time. The food was wonderful, we had 11 different dishes from across the whole menu including deserts, all of which were excellent. Hope to visit regularly, I would highly recommend FUMI.

    Very nice setting and interesting, although limited, menu. The cocktails were tried and liked by all. We chose the Omakase special menu with wine pairings and everyone loved each of the dishes...we all had our favourites too! The wine pairings were also inspired and complimented every dish.
