We had a lovely time at Bistro du Vin. Not only were our meals delicious the service from our waitress and server was outstanding. We’ve been to Paris, London and Brighton on this holiday and the service from Agata and Ashton surpassed anything else we’ve had on our trip. Agata was attentive, friendly, professional and made great recommendations (the roasted carrot main fish was unique and delicious). She appeared to be waiting on many tables tonight and made every effort to check on us continually. The crime brûlée, salad, French onion soup, pomme fruits, cocktails were all great. If you’re in Brighton, this is worth a stop. Thanks, Agata and Ashton for making our last meal before we leave...
My husband and I were so looking forward to a rare night off and away from our young children so couldn’t wait to visit Hotel du Vin for the first time together. Arrived and staff were all friendly and food was good but drinks were so late they didn’t arrive until after we had eaten each course and I had to ask for some tap water 3 times before some finally appeared. My husband’s drink finally arrived a while after mine and was wrong as the drink he ordered was out of stock but the bar failed to tell us or ask if the alternative was acceptable. Still charged us the full rate for everything however. A shame because if the service re the drinks hadn’t of been so bad it would have been a perfec...
This was going to be a special occasion and we were really looking forward to treating a friend to a luxury afternoon tea experience which is why we chose this restaurant. Firstly, the service was excellent we were treated courteously and our every need catered for. However the big let down was the actual afternoon tea. Horrible dry sandwiches that had obviously been left open to the air and gone dry. A strange sloppy wet concoction in a mini brioche burger bun and hard dry crispy scones. We were disappointed and a little embarrassed and certainly won't be going back again.
We were staying in the hotel for a couple of nights and the restaurant looked inviting so we popped in. We had a great time. I had tiger prawns for a starter and might have liked more chili heat but they were well cooked and presented. Then I had a splendid sole meunière, beurre noisette, and pommes frites. We ended up with a fun pairing of three cheeses and three glasses of fine ports. It's a lovely, very comfortable room and the service was warm, effective, and polite. Very happy to recommend.

Came on new year's day with my partner as a treat. We were waiting for this special moment together and we were looking forward to it! We came here quite a few times and seemed like they changed the menu for new year's day occasion. Everything was absolutely outstanding! The service was impeccable! Our server was Pablo and recommended us really good paired wines to go on with our menu choices. Excellent waiter! The atmosphere was lovely. Definitely coming back soon with the kids!
A great meal served by kindly staff. In the comfortable air conditioned dining room I had a simple smoked salmon starter and then a beautifully cooked sole. Polished off with a cafe gourmand I’ll let you find out. Wines by the glass are good and reasonably priced including the dessert wines. This one is for well executed French influenced cooking not fancy pants, just well done. Enjoy, I did.
We attended a celebration dinner last night with 50+ others and we were seriously impressed by the professionalism of the staff throughout. The kitchen performed flawlessly: I mentioned a main course preference to one of our waiters and to my surprise they were able to accommodate me very hard to do with such a large party. The food was excellent and everyone had a most enjoyable evening.
Ham hock terrine-3 different temperatures,coleslaw really cold,toast warm and terrine room temperature The chicken was supposed to be an escalope but had a bone in it BUT the salt was overwhelming(my husband's meal was also oversalted)I could not eat it They refunded the cost Diego on reception saved the day He is charm personified The breakfast was however very good.

Spent Saturday at the Bistro, it had been a while since we visited. Champagne at the bar followed by dinner in the restaurant. Everyone was great and friendly, our server Jack H could see that we were chatting and so gave us plenty of time, menu explained and great service. Seabass and Chicken got the big thumbs up. Will be back.
Such a lovely building and a wide varied menu. The staff were amazing (especially the waitress that went to the same school as me- I’m 29 years older! I have tried to cook their petit pois a la Francais at home but nothing like theirs. Highly recommended.
