The food was very tasty and beautifully presented, but a little on the expensive side. The service was exceptional, and the atmosphere really buzzing. We'll definitely go back.

Delicious tapas. The Alhambra beer is really nice. Treated very well for a birthday lunch. Absolutely gorgeous interior! Will come again 💫

Perhaps we caught them on an 'off' night but this place thinks it's a lot better than it is. The house red wine starts at a pricey £28 but it proved to be a decent Tempranillo. Initially I ordered the fish and my partner ordered the steak. This was met by a gasp of shock from the waiter who said it was a "whole" fish and the steak was "for two". Personally I regularly eat a "whole fish" and my partner has no problems eating a 400g steak "for two" but feeling suitably chastised for appearing greedy we opted instead for the tapas. The Pan Con Tomate was pleasant enough but came as a single slice. The Gambas Pil Pil should really be described on the menu as Gamba Pil Pil as it comes as a single large prawn sliced down the middle and at £9 is a stretch. The menu said Ensalada but if I had read the tiny english underneath I'd have realised it was fermented. It came as stringed carrot and some other indeterminable stringed vegetable that had been soaked in vinegar. It really was horrible. We had two types of croquettes one dish of cod and one of ham. Fortunately they didn't come together as from the bland taste it would be impossible to tell which was which. Interestingly there were just 3 to a dish to share between two people. The meatballs were probably the best dish of the evening and were actually quite flavoursome. The Patatas Fritas were by far the most generous dish, unsurprisingly. Brighton has one or two very good authentic Spanish Tapas Restaurants but unfortunately this isn't one of them.

Had a fantastic dinner here with amazing food and some great drinks too. Was really blown away by almost every single dish we tried. Cocktails were also great.

Just had amazing tapas! Our first time but we'll definitely be back and have also recommend to family and friends. We felt transported back to Spain and really felt like we were at a friends house eating the most delicious food. Margo was an excellent host and David an incredible chef, we were absolutely spoilt. Thank you so much for having us. Ellen and Tom

Great, intimate venue with top-notch tapas and drinks. Attended for a birthday, the waiting staff were all excellent - attentive, warm and friendly. Sampled a large selection of the menu between 4 of us and every dish was a hit with all of us. Veggie options also on par.

One of the nicest tapas restaurants I have been too in decades. The cocktails are well made and the staff are tentative. It's a must place to eat in Brighton.

We went here for tapas and drinks last night, and I haven’t shut up about it since! The food and service were amazing and the tapas was out of this world! We ordered most of the menu between the five of us, my highlights were the meat and cheese board, goats cheese churros, mussels, deep fried oysters and basque cheesecake. Every single dish we ordered was exceptional and we had such a wonderful evening and were so well looked after by the staff. Margo was a brilliant host and really knowledgeable about the food and wine. I absolutely will be back and I’m already excited to try more of the menu. Thank you for such a brilliant birthday meal, we all had a fantastic time.

Excellent, food was delicious especially the octopus which was cooked to perfection. Tapas can suffer from inconsistencies between the quality of the various plates but not at Market. Everything was of an impressively high quality and the service was friendly and relaxed, exactly what you want from a place like this. Would definitely go again.
