Chard Cafe - Brighton and Hove

Today marks the grand reopening of the restaurant, and I eagerly checked Trip Advisor in hopes of finding a sign of your return. In my 70 years of dining out (having been raised in New York City from a young age), your establishment has always been my ideal restaurant. The innovative cuisine was perfectly complemented by your warm hospitality, and most importantly, it was affordable for us to indulge in quality cooking regularly. I sincerely hope that you have all weathered this challenging year in good health and high spirits, despite the hardship of leaving behind the well-deserved goodwill you had earned through your hard work and dedication. Sam, Dan, and I wish you the best in any future endeavors and truly hope that you have not lost any of your incredible passion. If you rebuild, we will make every effort to support you wherever you may be!

This is our fourth visit to Chard and once again, we were impressed by the delicious food and excellent service. If you haven't been yet, I highly recommend giving it a try. You definitely won't be let down.

Last night, my fiancée and I had a wonderful birthday dinner at a restaurant in Chard. We dine out frequently and like to try new places, but this is one that we will definitely return to. The staff is extremely friendly, genuine, and welcoming, creating a great atmosphere inside. It's clear that they are a close-knit team who take pride in their work. They took their time to ensure we were well taken care of and their service was heartfelt. The ambiance is intimate, cozy, and relaxed. The food was exceptional, with delicious flavors, expertly prepared dishes, and generous portions. Despite a large table next to us, we didn't mind the brief wait for our order to be taken as we were pleasantly surprised with complimentary bread and butter. It was a nice gesture that added to our experience. Additionally, they surprised my fiancée with fudge at the end of the meal for her birthday. We truly enjoyed our experience and encourage the team to continue their great work.

Just to say thank you to the Mae and Ciaran, they did a fantastic job. food was wonderful service second to none. It was so personal and attentive I think you both and the chef do an amazing job. Well done all

Went to Chard today for lunch with 2 friends. We received a warm welcome and decor is lovely and chic. We all ordered the same a Seafood creamy chowder which came with chunks of gorgeous fresh buttermilk soda bread. The chowder was, creamy, warming, flavoursome and full of smocked haddock. I was so full as much as I wanted to try some of the gorgeous cakes in display I was too full. But for sure I will be back this is a hidden gem above Igigi an arty general store.
