This fantastic place has closed as Jean-Jacques retired recently after his 75th Birthday. I hope you enjoy your deserved retirement!
The Lauging Onion was a Brighton institution. The owner/chef/host cooked first, washed up, and then entertained diners with his 1950's era cabaret act. Thanks to the cheap house wine, by the end of the night guest s would would be emotionally singing along to the la vie en rose, or heckling for Ave Maria. Jean Jacques would often end by singing that love was all that counted - in the alchohol fuelled world of the Lauging Onion it really was. Sadly Missed. The nights out I had here genuinely have been some of the highlights of my life. There will never be another like it.
