Bistro Du Vin - Royal Tunbridge Wells

Beautiful spacious suite with friendly staff. the breakfast was expensive. the dinner is not so good and too expensive

Had brunch in the lounge bar. Very good service, and went down a treat. Reception were very helpful in requesting us a taxi. Not too keen on some members of staff wearing Jeans considering it's a luxury hotel.

Lunch with very old friends. A very satisfactory place to meet. The à la carte menu had some delights and some disappointing dishes, you had to choose wisely.. It wasn’t the cooking which was very satisfactory but little things .. The escargot tongs which can be awkward at the best of times were the most slippery I’ve ever encountered the shells wobbled about in its jaws making the the extraction of the meat frustrating.The main course had some surprises only 6 langoustine scampi were on offer yet the sole meunière would be sufficient for two ie one dish a mouthful the other a feast..The pommel frites were excellent as was the tomato salad .As for the sweet the raspberry and elderflower trifle was a strange concoction lacking the elderflower . It looked like a cake, a trifle should be in a glass dish. It was the last day of the Christmas menu and none of these dishes will be the same in the coming days.i regret the absence of table cloths but I suppose Bistro allows this to happen.these days. Inspite of these niggles I would come again and hope the Parking would be clear and simple.

It's not a Michelin-star restaurant, but the food is delicious. However, I don't think it's fair to charge extra for certain items. Overall, I find it overpriced.

I visited Tunbridge Wells for some business meetings and stayed at Hotel du Vin, a charming class II listed building dating back to 1762. It reminded me of the delicious Big Bdw burger I once had at Totro in London, which has unfortunately since closed down.
