HOTEL DU VIN

Hotel du Vin Brighton is situated in The Lanes conservation area , and a pebble ’ s throw from the seafront . Housed in a collection of eccentric gothic revival and mock Tudor buildings erected , appropriately , by a wine merchant on the site of an old inn . Among its many features are a heavily carved staircase and bizarre gargoyles , while the original double-height hall now houses the wine bar which serves exceptional cocktails and fabulous wines by the glass .
The delicious bar menu offers salads , a selection of sandwiches , classic fish n chips and more , all available daily for lunch and dinner . But at the heart of the hotel is the bistro serving a menu inspired by French home-style cooking with robust earthy dishes , and slow-cooked foods , with an undeniably British flavour , relying heavily on fresh and seasonal produce . Offering moderately priced à la carte dining in a down-to-earth , warm and relaxing setting . From simple starters like French onion soup and Chicken Liver Parfait to mains of Normandy Chicken and 28-day dry-aged steaks , to desserts such as a Crème Brulee and Apple Tarte Tatin . And with our Prix Fixe ( literally meaning ‘ Fixed Price ’) menu , it ’ s about tucking into even better value bistro classics inspired by French regional recipes changed by our Chef daily . All served
by attentive and exceptionally knowledgeable waiting staff happy to explain the dishes , the ingredients , and how our talented have chefs put them together . And on hand is our Sommelier , ready to advise , guide , match or recommend the perfect wine from the eclectic wine selection that features many of the world ’ s best and often relatively unknown wine producers .
The large Dome room , or any of our four other private spaces are perfect for private celebrations and weddings , while for a less formal get together there is Pub du Vin .
