Brighton Marina is set to become your go-to destination for all-day dining and Japanese-style nightlife thanks to SORA’s summer takeover. The restaurant and bar is in residence at Malmaison until 31 Aug, bringing Tokyo vibes to this elegant waterfront setting.

What can you expect? Try top-notch sushi, flame-grilled robatayaki favourites, and generous sharing tapas. And did we mention the beautifully crafted cocktails? With menus ranging from lunchtime bento boxes and an Asian-inspired afternoon tea to zingy delights like green dragon and firecracker maki, miso-glazed black cod, and wagyu burgers, there’s something to satisfy every craving. Listen out for DJs and live music come the weekend.

Atmosphere-wise, SORA hits the sweet spot between laidback coastal charm and city-chic sophistication. Whether it’s spontaneous after-work drinks, a sunset celebration or date-night fun that lures you here, you’re in for a stylish experience, vibrant flavours and the kind of far-from-home feeling that usually entails jet-lag.
