Tucked away in the vibrant city of Brighton, Gars has been a cornerstone of Chinese dining since 1983, delivering a unique blend of tradition and innovation. This family-run gem, founded by the Gars family who emigrated from Hong Kong to Brighton in 1955, has earned its reputation as a modern classic. With a commitment to preserving their heritage while embracing contemporary influences, Gars has continually evolved, bringing Brighton a dining experience like no other.
The menu reflects this seamless fusion of old and new, offering both timeless Chinese dishes and inventive reinterpretations. Start with favourites such as Peking-style chicken with garlic, wine, and ginger or delve into sizzling king prawns in a vibrant kung-po sauce. For those seeking vegetarian options, the sizzle continues with aubergine in a bold toban-style chilli and garlic glaze or fragrant vermicelli vegetable pots. Mains include Cantonese roast duck served with seasonal vegetables and the show-stopping beef in black bean sauce - a dish that perfectly balances spice and savoury notes.

The three-floor layout includes two private function rooms, each with its own bar and the option for bespoke music zones and even karaoke.
