It was a pleasant surprise when I found out we could have 3 course lunch menu at The Grand Hotel’s The Garden Restaurant during our trip to Eastbourne. It was a welcome treat, dining with excellent food at such a historic hotel.
We had the Chicken liver parfait and the Goats cheese tart to start, personally I preferred the tart over the parfait but both dishes were beautifully presented.
Then, for the main course, we had the Grilled Salmon over Spinach and Prawn Risotto alongside a Rib-eye Steak (which you can upgrade to for a reasonable supplement).
Finally, we finished up with some sweet and tasty desserts. This easily was our best meal in Eastbourne for a reasonable price of £35 per person for a 3 course set meal over lunch.
I strongly recommend a visit to The Garden Restaurant if you ever find yourself in Eastbourne, it’s worth it!
Fantastic treat, worth it. Impeccable service, wine selection and menu. Excellent for special occasion or just fine dining experience
Just celebrated birthdays and our wedding anniversary at the Mirabelle. The food was exceptional, the service second to none and the atmosphere really relaxing. We had a lovely evening and whilst we could not afford a regular visit here, a more special place for a celebration would be really hard to find!
Fantastic 7 course taster menu with wine flight great service with great attention to detail
Whow, 3rd visit to the Mirabelle and can only praise Michael for the superb food that made our lunch so enjoyable, and the restaurant manager who never fails to attend to all our needs, even before we acknowledge we need them. Convinced me that fine dining is an art form, what a team, very well done from us. If you want a treat get yourself a booking at the Mirabelle
Superb service, beautifully presented food. Festive menu was a delight. Nicely spaced out tables and meticulous care around Covid precautions.
Redeemed a gift voucher here. We had a lovely champagne and high tea listening to a local quartet. Surprisingly generous amount of sandwiches, miniflans, cakes and tea and more cake and more tea etc etc. Service impeccable from all staff, very welcoming and ambience quite refined although not too stuffy considering it's Eastbourne.
Delicious lunch in lovely surroundings. Great, attentive waiters. A fabulous surprise birthday treat....thank you.
Old school charm, attentive service and excellent food. Plus a wonderful and fairly priced wine list.
Excellent tasting menu with several exciting dishes. A memorable experience in a nice dining room full of tradition.
Old fashioned dining experience. Anniversary meal for me and my hubby, innovative and tasty food that I wouldn't create at home, lovely atmosphere and attentive staff. Expensive but worth it for special occasions.
One of the dinning rooms in the grand hotel where we had our meal fantastic
I attended for Saturday lunch. Beautiful dining room, great service and really good food.
It was the first time I'd been, I had chicken breast which I find is a good test for restaurants. It was succulent, juicy and tasty.
I had an amazing roasted beetroot starter and a caramelised banana dessert.
It's expensive for the area, but for a top quality restaurant I'd say it's completely reasonably compared to similar quality restaurants. Will definitely be going again.
A rare find. Genuine and delicious French cuisine. Remarkable.
Always like the Grand Hotel. We ate in the Mirrabelle restaurant. Service was excellent as was the food. No problem recommending to friends and family.
Delicious food and excellent service. Especially attentive and sensitive to those with serious food allergies. Would thoroughly recommend for a special occasion!

We had a lovely relaxing evening at the Mirabelle. The food was okay /good but not amazing. A little way to go before it gets a Michelin star. On that note I will say that the pricing is a tad pretentious and expensive for what it was. The wine list was good and extensive with some great wines but again mark up on lower priced wines was excessive. The service was amazing, as was the relaxed and exclusive atmosphere in the place, however it was not busy when we were there. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the service we had, it was wonderful but to be honest, the food could have been better, given the price. The wine we had was good but £53 a bottle was about £15 overpriced.
I think that this is a marvelous and quite classy restaurant, perhaps given more to the taste of an older clientele but lovely nevertheless. However it does price itself a little too high for the quality of the food.
You can have a wonderful set 3 course meal at Le Gavroche in London - 3 Michelin Stars and London prices for about the same price as we paid for the same at the Mirabelle. Set 3 course dinner for 2 with wine, coffee and petit four cost us about £186. Nice, but not nice enough for the money.
Mirabelle, don't pretend to be what you are not. Bring your prices down, and the quality of your food up and you will be absolutely fabulous.
As my school report card always said, "could do better..."
