The Arrogant Frog is a divine, old-school French restaurant located on Church Road in Hove, lovingly brought to life by restaurateur and local bon vivant Rosaio Guarneri. With a chic black and white tiled entrance, the restaurant boasts a gorgeous, inviting dining room with wooden floors, 40s-style wallpaper and banquette seating - making it the perfect spot for intimate dinner parties and romantic evening meals. Owning his own French restaurant was always Guarneri's dream, and the atmosphere at The Arrogant Frog conveys his passion and pride. The menu includes traditional favourites such as snails and frog legs; whilst less adventurous diners will love the risottos and fabulous steaks. We also love the retro-tastic Crepes Suzette for pudding.
