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 slow restaurant in a fast-moving city, FUMI is a place where flavours, service and interiors are harmonious.
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.

    Very nice staff and service. We have over ordered and over ate. Cocktails are good. Food is good. Setting is minimalist and tables are far apart which is good for private conversations. Good venue.

    Lovely staff, restaurant and food - but they need to sort out the kitchen! Long waits between courses and food arrives at random times. They do warn this and you expect a few minutes not close to an hour! And there were only a handful of tables occupied. Will go back and give them another chance as its one of the better Japanese restaurants in town

    Excellent food, good service, easy atmosphere, reasonable value. Sadly the menu was lacking in vegan options, they were poorly labelled (V, Ve and Vg => confusing) and literally bottom of the list. They seemed to be an afterthought. Nothing was labelled as "vegan option available" and some veggie/vegan options were not labelled as such. Disappointing, especially for a classy restaurant in the student area of Brighton.

    Was really looking forward to our meal and had heard good things about the restaurant. First impressions were great a stunning building very tastefully decorated. Room wasn’t full but we were greeted with “we are very busy tonight so we don’t have any Wagu or black rice” odd given that it was early and not busy. No explanation of menu, waitress don’t know anything about the food and had to be asked to go and find out Food was nice but not exceptional overall a very disappointing experience.
