The Vine House

If you love good food, great wine and relaxed dining, @thevine.house in Kemptown is definitely one to add to your Brighton hitlist

The concept is all about bringing together a great wine offering with quality, unfussy food, with the kitchen run by the talented team at @wildflorhove so you know the food is going to be of a high standard

We popped in last week to try their Octoberbest menu and honestly, it was really good! It’s left me wanting to come back and explore more of the main menu. The chicken schnitzel was delicious, but the standout for me had to be the chocolate mousse with sea salt…So good!

The atmosphere is chilled and relaxed, with a casual dining feel where the focus is firmly on good food and even better wine. One of the things I particularly love is that you can actually choose a bottle from their wine shop and enjoy it at your table for a small corkage fee. Such a great concept if you fancy discovering something new. They also offer wine vending, which is becoming increasingly popular, alongside a great cocktail offering if wine isn’t your thing

There’s also a lovely terrace for when the warmer weather returns, making it a great spot for a long lunch or evening drinks

Overall, Vine House is a brilliant addition to Kemptown. A little different from your traditional restaurant, with a really strong food offering, a fantastic wine concept and a relaxed atmosphere. Definitely one to put on your Brighton dining list🍷
