Purezza serves the most divine GF pizzas - I have not tasted any that can compare! My friend and I opted for the extremely good value lunch deal which consisted of a small plate, a medium pizza and drink for just £15! I had the first GF, DF Caesar salad since being diagnosed coeliac and it was out of this world, lovely vegan chicken, bacon and crunchy salad with a creamy dressing!! The Pesto Pizza to follow was the best GF pizza I’ve ever tasted, chewy and crispy with a creamy pesto topping! The meal was washed down with a crisp, fruity Prosecco! Well done and many thanks Purezza for your laudable food ethics!!

About the restaurant

The excitement and anticipation that comes with growing vegetables, and creating innovative plates is translated to our guests through our menu.

The plant to plate narrative is at the centre of what we do; our chefs show our local organic farmers a nod of respect towards the passion and patience required to grow a plant, in each dish they create. The seasons dictate our menu, with passion, flavour and creativity at the heart of the operation.

This passion flows through our love of organic, and low intervention wines from small producers, carefully selected and paired with our food.

Our very own indoor vertical farm is our most recent dedication to sustainable practices, allowing us to grow our own bespoke exotic herbs and aromatics for our hyper-seasonal food and cocktail menus, with zero food miles and incomparable flavour.

A early dinner for two. The service started off well but slowly dwindled as the meal went on. We had prawn summer rolls, baby squid and pork spring rolls to start which were lovely. The portion for the squid was really good too! Mains we had chicken salad and chicken curry. The chicken curry was quite a small portion from the other Phos and disappointed to find only three bits of chicken! The salad was really good, but again not a very big portion. Overall it was okay.

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 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.
