Kindling Restaurant is an independent steak restaurant at 69 East Street in Brighton’s Lanes, close to the seafront and Palace Pier. It combines a contemporary city-centre dining room with an approachable menu designed for lunch, drinks and dinner.
Steak is the central feature, with different cuts accompanied by sauces, chips and carefully chosen sides. Burgers and beef-led lunch plates provide a more casual route through the menu, while salads and vegetable dishes balance the richer choices.
Lunch platters can combine flat iron steak, steak ciabatta or pulled beef brioche with fries and an additional side. Desserts and a drinks list of cocktails, wine and other bar favourites make it easy to extend the meal beyond the main course.
The restaurant opens daily and accepts reservations for both daytime and evening dining. Guests with allergies, intolerances or dietary requirements should consult the current menu and confirm ingredients and kitchen preparation with staff before ordering.
Address: 69 East Street, Brighton BN1 1HQ, England
