INTRODUCING CYAN
BRIGHTON SEAFRONT’S NEWEST
ALL-DAY DINING DESTINATION
An exciting new restaurant has launched in Brighton offering
an all-day dining experience in one of the most loved hotels
in the city. Cyan, which has replaced GB1 at The Grand
Brighton on the south coast’s seafront, opened at the end
of 2019 and offers something for everyone, with no meat eater or
vegan feeling left out.
With a big emphasis on local produce for its offering of small
plates and sharing platters, Cyan’s chefs blend locally sourced
produce with a handpicked selection of seasonal, high quality
ingredients from around the world to create a medley of
unexpected taste, texture and flavour combinations.
Cyan’s sustainability interest is also reflected in the restaurant
design with bespoke marbled artwork and items made from
recycled plastic waste by local artists, Weez & Merl.
The new, sea-blue restaurant space also provides an interactive
and welcoming atmosphere where guests can drink an
extensive selection of organic wines by the glass, enjoy watching
the bar tender’s flair while making cocktails complete with a
selection of garnishes from the in-restaurant micro-herb fridge
or see their food being prepared in front of their eyes with live
cooking and homemade charcuterie.
While the restaurant has had a contemporary redesign some
aspects which made GB1 unique have remained. The 155-year

SOURCED PRODUCE WITH A
HANDPICKED SELECTION OF
SEASONAL, HIGH QUALITY
INGREDIENTS FROM AROUND
THE WORLD.”
old marble columns are still a central point and continue to be
surrounded by a circular bar. However, the bar has been reworked
to provide an area for remote workers to settle down in during the
day and for groups of friends to be entertained with an interactive
dining experience by night.
Pedro Watson, restaurant manager at Cyan, added: “We are
extremely excited to launch Cyan at The Grand Brighton and
believe it will breathe a fresh lease of life into Brighton’s dining
offering. We want people to feel comfortable and relaxed, whether
they are grabbing brunch, wanting a place to work with a coffee or
a fun and vibrant atmosphere to share dinner and an organic glass
of wine with friends.”
“The restaurant seats 80, and with 15 to 20 ever changing dishes,
we’re looking forward to keeping things interesting for our diners
with a variety of options for meat eaters, pescatarians, vegetarians
and vegans.”
“We’re also bringing theatre to the dinner table with interactive
dining experiences, live cooking with our chefs and a flair to
drinks with our specially designed micro-herb refrigerator ready
for any finishing touches.”
