Bistro Du Vin – A touch of French class by the sea

Hotel Du Vin has recently refurbished their bistro, introducing fresh new colours and brand new menu. What remains however, is fantastic attention to detail, great service and of course, an extensive range of wines.

Hotel Du Vin, or hotel of wine is one of those tucked away venues that you wouldn’t even know was there; located a stone throw away from the pebbles on Brighton beach and at the south end of Ship Street in Brighton’s famous Lanes, HDV is at the heart of everything Brighton and is a regular feature of the annual Brighton and Hove Food Festival.

Inspired by French home style cooking, slow cooked foods and using locally sourced ingredients – Bistro Du Vin’s Gallic style menu certainly has a British flavour delivered in a down-to-earth, cosy and incredibly relaxing setting.

Great for breakfast, lunch and dinner – private dining, events, cocktails and wine tasting dinners – Hotel Du Vin has it all.

Let us Set the Scene

Newly refurbished, Bistro Du Vin is about appreciating the best of everything that there is to offer in terms of service, delivery, produce – and did we mention it is one of Brighton’s finest boutique hotel properties?

Think reclaimed and dark stained floor boards, fire places, soft lighting, very comfortable chairs. It certainly is a great place to escape from the hustle and bustle of Brighton, in a super stylish and a sophisticated setting without the distraction of the mass market.

The Menu at Bistro Du Vin

The menus at Bistro Du Vin change daily, they offer some great express lunch time two course options, they offer bistro classics, plus they offer an admirable A La Carte menu with all the trimmings.

Starters include french onion soup and British Rock Oysters, mains include Normandy chicken and a renowned 28-day dry-aged steaks. Dessert options include classics such as crème brûlée, tarte tatin and the slightly more British bakewell tart.

The whole menu is also complimented by the fact that there is a Hotel Du Vin sommelier on hand should you need it, so you can let someone else do the thinking for you and they can match that perfect wine to your dinner. They also offer monthly wine tastings which include a trip down to the atmospheric wine cellar.
