etch. by Steven Edwards

In a nice touch, a new restaurant on the ground floor will serve food made by local Masterchef winner Steven Edwards, sourced from within sight of the tower. In a green city, its environmental credentials are good(despite the last-minute removal of a wind turbine, which Marks says is compensated by the extra power they can generate from the pod’s descent).

Taste your way through up to nine courses at this Hove home-from-home for fine diners. Why we love it: It’s run by a former Master Chef: The Professionals winner, so it’s no real surprise Etch is a fancy little spot. However, the restaurant has a nice laid-back charm, which aims to move away from the stuffier feeling of traditional posh restaurants.

Cool and unpretentious, Etch is a casual and intimate space offering fine dining, with two weekly changing tasting menus. The interior features dark blue walls, bold orange leather seats, trendy neon lighting and clothless tables, while staff look the part, dressed in tweed waistcoats, ankle swingers and pin rolls, and brogues. Chef Steven Edwards works with local producers from the surrounding Sussex countryside to pick the freshest seasonal ingredients for their intricate dishes – expect the likes of Sussex Trenchmore beef with charred Hispi cabbage, locally caught scallops with squid crackers, and cherries filled with crème fraîche.

Steven Edward’s (Masterchef Winner) restaurant etch has celebrated local and national acclaim and review, with three AA rosettes, a Michelin Plate, NRA Top 100, 5 Good Food Guide and BRAVO 2019, Best Restaurant in Brighton, all under its belt. The small Hove restaurant serves a five, seven or nine-course tasting menu, available as meat and fish, or vegetarian. Each dish features only two main ingredients and is prepared without any spices: instead, the flavour is cultivated through reducing and enhancing the inherent quality of the ingredients.

Created by MasterChef: The Professionals winner Steven Edwards, his flagship restaurant does this by creating tasting menus that change weekly and include ingredients when they’re in peak season. Housed in a former bank, Etch’s interior décor utilises the structure’s ornate high ceilings to bring in ample amounts of natural light, creating a fresh and welcoming atmosphere. Currently providing tasting menus for August and up to November, you won’t be disappointed with what’s on offer, with each meal tasting as great as the next.
