after being inspired by the Italian and French culture and cuisine during his travels to the Provence and the western coast of Italy. His goal was to open Brighton’s first Mediterranean steakhouse. For the first time, Brightonians were able to order fresh pasta, arancini, dry aged beef, tiramisu and negronis.
49 years later and now being operated by Michael's son Abe, IL Bistro still stands by the same principles, using local suppliers and produce, fresh ingredients and the best available dry aged British beef. The restaurant is situated in an 18th century fisherman’s cottage which we find rather fitting after Michael spent years in Portofino, Livorno and Saint-Tropez, Europe’s most famous fishing villages.

The staff were extremely hospitable and gave us a lovely outside table which caught the sun in the afternoon. The food was excellent, we all had pasta dishes which were lovely and fresh and flavoursome. There is a wide range to choose from the food menu, tasty starters, sides, yummy cocktails and a delicious selection of deserts.

About this restaurant
Charming
Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem
In 1976 Michael Garman returned to Brighton and opened IL Bistro after being inspired by the Italian and French culture and cuisine during his travels to the Provence and the western coast of Italy. His goal was to open Brighton’s first Mediterranean steakhouse. For the first time, Brightonians were able to order fresh pasta, arancini, dry aged beef, tiramisu and negronis.
49 years later and now being operated by Michael's son Abe, IL Bistro still stands by the same principles, using local suppliers and produce, fresh ingredients and the best available dry aged British beef. The restaurant is situated in an 18th century fisherman’s cottage which we find rather fitting after Michael spent years in Portofino, Livorno and Saint-Tropez, Europe’s most famous fishing villages. Booking info: We ask for a £10 per person deposit which gets deducted from your final bill.

Had a fabulous time at Il Bistro for mother's day. The staff were extremely hospitable and gave us a lovely outside table which caught the sun in the afternoon. The food was excellent, we all had pasta dishes which were lovely and fresh and flavoursome. There is a wide range to choose from the food menu, tasty starters, sides, yummy cocktails and a delicious selection of deserts. The staff were friendly and chatty and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal out. Would definitely come back!

We had a warm welcome as we walked in but we were sat on the first floor in a small room with another family & it felt like we were way to close. Our starters arrived before any of our drinks which arrived a few minutes after we’d finished eating. The family next to us were complaining they had asked for their bill three times. Different staff taking orders, we didn’t feel valued at all & the food was very average.

We had to send our stakes back as very poorly cooked. Ended up not eating them, veg basic and very sad looking, sauce gloopy, lumpy and inedible. Very, very disappointing. Don’t come here for a stake.

Very enjoyable dinner at Il Bistro. I feel the upstairs part of the restaurant doesn't have the same atmosphere as downstairs which is more buzzy and good.

First time at Il Bistro for my wife and I to celebrate my birthday. Wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Had contacted Abe to say that I might have difficulty with steep stairs, he immediately got back to me with a solution. So glad we went ahead and booked. We were welcomed on arrival, thoroughly enjoyed our lunch, wine and cocktails. Service was attentive and helpful, ambience special, a nice place to be. Highly recommend, looking forward to our next visit.

The atmosphere downstairs seemed far nicer than up in the loft area
Waitress bought up chips we didn’t order and totally forgot an extra glass of wine ordered before main course.
Plates were very mildly warm
