We were kindly invited to @bistro_du_vin at @hotelduvin (also part of the @malmaisonhotels brand) recently for a Sunday roast with the family and we were really impressed with our visit
When we first arrived I was a little nervous that it didn’t look very family friendly with its beautiful interior and elegant style but we were warming welcomed by the staff, offered us high chairs and kids menus and very friendly towards the kids so I didn’t have anything to worry about. The kids menu was actually really good with lots of offer in all three courses so my daughter was very happy with her meal, especially the ice cream sundae at the end that she got after she finished all her dinner! Absolute winner
Our Sunday menu was a 2/3 course menu with the starter being a gorgeous table of ‘French Market Entrees’ which included seafood, cured meats, salads, soups and more which you help yourself to and not something you see if Brighton often so very unique, definitely one of the best bits of the visit for me
We then had a roast dinner. I have the crispy chicken which I really enjoyed. The skin was super crispy with stuffing. The vegetables came out to share and the gravy was meaty and delicious. The potatoes were just crispy enough and the Yorkshires were huge! There was a lovely bread sauce on the side but sadly no cauliflower Cheese which I felt was missing from the meal but other than that we really enjoyed it. We also had the Roast Sirloin of Beef which was also very well cooked and really tasty!
I had a scoop of sorbet to finish my meal and we had the Crème brûlée which were great ways to finish the meal. We really enjoyed our visit here, love the space, especially the court yard and balcony which are great for summer visits- we regularly come here and have drinks in the courtyard when the weather is good. The ambience is quite quiet with no music and on our visit, it was fairly quiet so I did worry slightly about the children making too much noise but apart from that, it was a lovely meal and would recommend as an alternative to your usual pub roast
I was invited to try this one. As always, all opinions are my own.
