Bobbi Pearl | Asian Fusion Restaurant Brighton

Church Street Asian fusion with a near-gluten-free menu, inventive cocktails and dumplings

Dimly lit, stylish and a little theatrical, somewhere between a trendy bar and a polished dining room. A heated courtyard, an event room and a main dining area give groups and couples different moods.

Menu where most dishes are gluten free including the dumplings, cocktails that can all be made as mocktails, feed-me and tasting set menus, heated courtyard, private event room, takeaway, no surcharge.

Deliberately a pan-Asian mix of Thai, Malaysian, Chinese and Korean influences (laksa-style curries, char kway teow, massaman, Korean fried chicken). One reviewer felt recipes lean on presentation over traditional flavour.

Reviewers split. Fans call it good value for the quality and presentation. Critics find main portions small for the spend, and set menus ($95 to $115 per person) are queried against the a la carte total.
