About

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Brighton, Hotel Du Vin Bistro offers a delightful dining experience within an elegant yet relaxed setting. Located on the seafront, this bistro is part of the renowned restaurant group, celebrated for its charming ambience and exceptional service. The venue is ideally positioned for both locals and visitors, just a stone’s throw from the beach and a short walk from the iconic Brighton Pier.

The bistro’s stylish interior, characterised by warm wood panelling and vintage decor, creates a welcoming atmosphere that is perfect for both casual lunches and intimate dinners. Whether you're seeking a leisurely brunch, a relaxed dinner with friends, or a special celebration, Hotel Du Vin Bistro promises a memorable dining experience in one of Brighton's most charming settings.

There are several different menus available at Bistro du Vin Brighton, each showcasing the group’s signature blend of traditional British and French cuisine, reflecting the culinary influences that define the Hotel Du Vin ethos. Diners can indulge in a selection of seasonally changing dishes made from locally sourced ingredients, ensuring freshness and quality in every bite.

Start with the likes of farmhouse terrine with cornichons, or grilled tiger prawns served in a chilli and garlic butter, before moving on to the likes of lamb bourguignon with pancetta, mushrooms and pearl onions or confit duck leg served in a red wine jus. The thoughtfully curated wine list complements the menu, showcasing an impressive selection of both local and international wines, allowing guests to find the perfect pairing for their meal.

Bistro du Vin also offers delightful afternoon or cream tea options. Tiered stands are packed full of finger sandwiches and savouries, such as smoked salmon and cream cheese on a brioche roll, or mini ratatouille on a socca pancake. Next comes plain and fruit scones, and a selection of classic French desserts and pastries, all washed down with a variety of teas, or your choice of Champagne or cocktails if you’re celebrating.

Central, classy venue

This restaurant is in beautiful and well-located surroundings.  The menu is good, if quite meat-focussed, and the food was of good quality.  We enjoyed the friendly and efficient service and quality wine list.  The venue was quite quiet; I wonder whether a refresh of the offering to bring it up to date with newer nearby venues might be in order.

Tasty food, some confusion

Delicious food, some confusion about what was available - we had intended to have the Taste Du Vin menu for three people (and had included that request in the booking) but informed immediately on speaking to the waiter that it was no an option for odd numbered groups and were quite disappointed. The food we did choose in the end was very tasty and the waiting team were all very friendly.
