I ate in the bistro recently and i ventured on the pork belly which was glorious.... and the chicken spring roll again delicious! We did wait a while for the food but the quality of it made up for the wait! Then retiring to the bar for a glass of wonderful wine, recommended by one of the well trained and polite staff at the bar. Comfortable, classy and well and truly delicious.

Extensive choice of wine

This hotel and restaurant is one of the best in brighton. The restaurant serves high quality food and the wine list is so long that it takes ages to choose (although they are all pretty expensive). I haven't been to the bar but I hear it is a great place to have a drink on a night out.

I've never eaten at the Hotel du Vin but have spent many an hour curled up on their cosy sofas putting the world to rights with my boy. We like sitting up on the mezzanine and watching world below us. Ooh and they have a posh snooker table too of you fancy a game or two.
The whole place is very relaxed...including the staff which means they can be a little slow with the service. That doesn't matter though because they'll bring your drinks to you so just get comfy and take it all in whilst you wait.
I've heard from many that the restaurant is fantastic if not a little expensive. I'd love to eat there on a special occasion...are you listening boy?!

Lovely for meeting clients or friends

This is such a fantastically adaptable venue - it's really lovely for meeting clients or friends. Right in the middle of the lanes, hidden in Ship Street, you walk into a fantastic bar which enjoys a mezzanine view with sofas. The service is impeccable, the drinks superb, but like with any establishment like this you pay for it. But it's worth every penny.

To really relax

As expected
Hotel du Vin is a great chain of hotels with wonderful food and service. Brighton's hotel is adjacent to the sea front and as soon as you walk in you feel calm and relaxed with the great colonial decor. The quality of the food and drink is top notch although service in the restaurant is quite slow. Always love to drop in for a quite coffee or a cocktail to start the night off to a good start !
