For a suburb with high disposable income, Brighton is seemingly lacking in smart, spendy restaurants. Henrys redresses the imbalance. The offering is clever, straightforward and fire-kissed. Dishes may look similar to those patrons will snap in Sicily or Santorini for their social media.
We’re talking roast chicken, skin lacquered dark and crisp – its scent heady enough to make you levitate to the pass. Sweet, tender coral trout arrives on a waft of smoke, with blistered radicchio and agrodolce for balance.
Every table seems to order the chilli crab linguine, and they’re right to; a cheeky hum of chilli working in tandem with the sweet seafood and bright burst of cherry tomatoes. Pair it with a glass of flinty, aromatic malagousia roditis, a Greek white wine blend, and you’ll wonder if you really need a Euro summer when bayside Melbourne has it sorted.
Must-order: The lush, chilli-humming crab and white wine linguine.
