Brasserie Blanc - Chichester

You're walking into one of Chichester's most reliably excellent restaurants, where the kitchen takes its classical French training seriously. Richmond House sits right on The Square, and inside it's all crisp linens, attentive service, and the kind of cooking that doesn't need to shout about itself—think moules marinières done properly, duck confit that falls off the bone, and sauces that justify their existence. It's the sort of place locals return to because it simply doesn't disappoint, whether you're marking an occasion or just fancying proper food cooked without pretension.
