Reserved for special treats, The Floating Pagoda is a Chinese Junk moored on the Marina Water Front. It is a bit on the edge of town but no further than Hove. On a summers evening (spring and autumn too) it is a lovely walk along the sea shore to the marina to get up an apatite for the spurious cuisine on offer at The Floating Pagoda; take a taxi if you want to reserve your energy. We have being going there ever since we first stumbled across it some years ago and keep going back with visiting friends & family for a real oriental treat. The food served is different and always superbly cooked from the run of the mill Chinese restaurant and if you enjoy Chinese food you will love theirs. Cost: a little over the average for above average food.
