Jimmys Restaurant
5 Palm Drive, The Waterfront, Brighton Marina, BN2 5WA
On a blustery mid-week night in January we ventured out to Jimmy’s a new 500 seat restaurant in the marina which specialises in food from around the world. We were not quite expecting what we saw on our arrival. The place was busy with people seated in a variety of areas throughout the restaurant, the main focus being open kitchen areas where teams of chefs were on hand to serve you food from across the globe We were welcomed, shown to our booth and given the basics of what to expect. With our drink orders taken, off we went to explore. I chose the Chinese zone to start for steamed prawn dumplings, crackers and rice. For main it would be Indian and the tandoori chicken was really flavoursome with rice and also a little butter chicken. I think psychologically you just want to eat more once you know it’s a set price (from £9.99 subject to day/times) eat as much as you like. So another main and this time I went to the noodle bar and selected fresh noodles, vegetables and beef; handed it to me by the chef who cooked it there and then. The steaks sizzling on the griddle and Mexican at the other open kitchens were tempting but I stayed strong. After a short break I went looking for dessert. With an ice cream machine and chocolate fountain plus many other treats to choose from the words diet and January were erased from my memory for this night only. A good choice for the variety and value. jimmysrestaurants.com
