HYTHE BRASSERIE

Owned and personally managed by husband and wife team Nicki and Darragh Cartmill , Hythe Brasserie offers classical cuisine with an imaginative twist . Located on a sunny corner just off Hythe High Street , this intimate little restaurant is fresh , fun and a little bit different .
The food here is carefully produced using the best of local ingredients , homemade and cooked from scratch . The quality is consistently good and signature dishes such as the tempura monkfish and 5-spice roasted pork belly are complemented by some great classics including moules gratin and confit duck on white bean cassoulet .
Award-winning Irish chef Darragh is a dab hand with seafood , producing sublimely cooked , perfectly seasoned fish . The halibut with braised peas , shallots and crispy Parma ham simply melts in the mouth and the amazingly light crab tart glazed with hollandaise is just delicious . When it comes to dessert , the freshest of lemon possets delights the palate while the Crunchie hot toffee meringue is a must for those with a sweet tooth !
The Brasserie serves lunch and à la carte dinner from Tuesday till Saturday . Lunchtime specials change daily and the “ carte du jour ” speciality menu is available Tuesday , Wednesday and
Thursday evenings at just £ 18.95 for 3 courses . The modestly priced , comprehensive wine list is carefully chosen to complement your meal . Dietary requirements are well looked after with chef Darragh expertly preparing many glutenfree dishes among others . With space for up to 30 guests , private parties and special events are catered for with tailor-made menus available to suit every occasion and budget .
Simple , warm décor creates an intimate ambience with a continental feel and a warm welcome is always guaranteed . When the weather is warm , customers can enjoy the outside seating area at the front of the restaurant – perfect for al fresco dining .
Two minutes ’ walk from the famous Military Canal and just 10 minutes ’ walk from the seafront , what better place to stop and refresh !
