About this restaurant

Romantic
Innovative
Good for special occasions

With two AA rosettes and four RAC dining awards under its belt, The Mirabelle Restaurant in Eastbourne’s Grand Hotel is much more than just a landmark. Perfectly placed on the seafront in the centre of this vibrant seaside city, the Grand is a taste of classic elegance, its flagship restaurant all soaring ceilings, huge sash windows framed by heavily swagged curtains and pelmets, richly upholstered furniture and crisp white table linen on which polished glassware and cutlery await guests. Voted one of the fifty best restaurants in the UK by The Independent newspaper, and boasting a regular spot in the Good Food Guide, The Mirabelle Restaurant serves modern European food featuring seasonal produce overseen by head chef Gerald Roser who plays creatively with texture and flavour, ensuring that his food really stands apart on the local restaurant scene. Both a seasonal classics menu and a decadent tasting menu are complemented by a superbly tempting wine list.

Been there quite a few times. Food was up to the usual high standard, but service was much slower than previous occasions with a long initial wait for our order to be taken.

The Mirabelle has been beautifully refurbished and it was good to see it looking even smarter than before.The food was superb - I could have drunk buckets of the wonderful lobster bisque - in fact, every thing was so well presented and delicious. Service was brilliant too - helpful, unobtrusive staff made us feel comfortable and anticipated our needs. This is a wonderful restaurant and the lunch menu is extremely good value too. It was a happy, celebratory lunch which we hope to repeat in the near future.

Fantastic meal, really enjoyed the meal. We had the tasting menu with the matching wine pairing which was fantastic value and the food was as good as I've had anywhere. The service was also excellent. With food, service and value of this quality it should have a michelin star.

The six of us enjoyed a delicious three course lunch, continuing our tradition of having a pre-Christmas family get together at the Grand. The service was excellent, there were plenty of staff to ensure we were well looked after. My favourite course was dessert, which was caramelised pineapple served with black pepper ice cream - simple but so tasty. We'll definitely be back next December if not before!

We were staying in the Grand as part of my husband's birthday celebrations and booked for the Mirabelle on our first evening. We decided on the Taster Menu with wines. The staff were excellent, being informative but not intrusive, just what was needed. The food was delicious and risotto with scallops was devine. Thanks to the Mirabelle we had a lovely evening with delicious food and wines to enhance every course.

Another memorable meal. Service was outstanding. I mentioned I was vegetarian and was offered various extra options in addition to those already on the menu. The waiters knew the ingredients very well. A live pianist played beautifully throughout, adding a lovely finishing touch.

We live near Eastbourne but had never been to the Mirabelle. With friends visiting who like fine dining and wines we booked the restaurant and were very pleased that we did. Lovely atmosphere and excellent service. Food excellent but the wine a little pricey. Had a great evening. Will definitely be going back.
