The Gingerman at Drakes Review

Arguably the best restaurant in Brighton, this basement eatery presents a harmoniously balanced choice of contemporary British dining with French twists. Food is presented with skill and assurance by a well-trained staff in intimate surroundings. Soothing neutral tones predominate in this softly lit, tranquil atmosphere. Starters are startling but tasty, as evoked by the pan-fried lamb sweetbreads and kidneys with duck fried croutons. For a main, dig into such delights as saddle of venison with garlic potato cakes or rabbit wrapped in pancetta and prunes with a carrot purée.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
