Tucked away on Church Road in the heart of Hove, Paris Wine Bar is a charming bistro that blends continental elegance with a warm, local spirit. Established in 2011 by two international wine connoisseurs, this much-loved spot has become a go-to for those seeking refined flavours, relaxed ambience, and exceptional hospitality.
Step inside and you’re greeted by a space that’s both timeless and inviting. Traditional oak beams, exposed brickwork, copper accents and Chesterfield seating create a cosy yet sophisticated setting. Beyond the French doors lies a lush, Italian-style garden complete with intimate tables and a central gazebo - perfect for alfresco dining year-round.
When it comes to the menu, guests can expect dishes packed full of fresh, seasonal ingredients, with a focus on Mediterranean-inspired small plates and bistro classics. Pick and choose from several sharing plates, including the likes of beef bourguignon with creamy mashed potato, lamb kofta skewers with red wine and pomegranate sauce, and king scallops bathed in a white wine sauce.
There’s also a couple of snacks for those looking to pop in for a drink and a light bite. Expect garlic flat pitta breads, bowls of pitted green olives and hand cut chips. The wine list is extensive and expertly curated, showcasing French favourites alongside global gems, while the cocktail menu offers everything from crisp spritzes to bold, aromatic blends such as the Strawberry Mezcal Margarita, or A Night in Paris.
Paris Wine Bar is your local community hub, offering a little slice of Europe in Hove. Whether you’re popping in for a glass of wine, settling in for a leisurely dinner, or joining one of their popular wine tasting events, you’ll leave feeling like you’ve found your second home.
