Dilsk is an elegant and relaxed fine dining restaurant with a focus on sustainable food, meticulously sourced from ethical growers & local producers, in and around East Sussex. 

Our aim is to give an expertly crafted culinary voyage from beginning to end, an experience through the chef's tasting menu, taking inspiration from the South Coast.

Located within the iconic Drakes Hotel, on Brighton seafront, Dilsk is the first joint venture from chef Tom Stephens and front of house manager Madeleine Riches, who between them boast an impressive 40 years industry experience. 

Dilsk offers two tasting menus, a shorter and fuller option and a set menu available lunch and dinner Tuesday - Thursday.

The concept; a refined and flavour led journey, exhibiting restrained modern technique founded in classical methodology, fuelled by the abundance of quality produce surrounding us, from the rolling South Downs to the English Channel. 

Running alongside the tasting menu is an optional wine pairing, created by Maddy and designed to work harmoniously alongside every course. There is also a non-alcoholic pairing, extensive wine list and creative cocktail menu. 

Having previously worked for 4 years with Great British Menu winner, Michael Bremner at 64 Degrees fine dining restaurant, both Maddy and Tom will be utilising their strong relationships with small, local suppliers
