Portland

A Brighton restaurant stop that leans into seasonal plates and a slightly special feel while staying relaxed. Portland is known for a considered menu that changes with what is best at the time which makes it a great pick when you want dinner to feel like an experience. The atmosphere is intimate and calm rather than loud which suits date nights and smaller groups. Expect thoughtful cooking and a good wine pairing vibe without the stiffness. It is a strong option for the meal you plan around rather than the meal you squeeze in. Book ahead because places like this tend to fill up quickly especially at weekends.
