Bistro du Vin in Stratford-on-Avon

Went for afternoon tea. It was beautifully presented and tasted great. Interesting selection of freshly made sandwiches scones and desserts. Staff were friendly and very happy to help. We had a lovely time and will definitely return.

El menú degustación fue genial, muy interesante y a un precio excelente. Jennifer y Kosta eran excelentes sumilleres y camareros, tan atentos, amables y educados. No podría haber pedido más al personal. Muy recomendable.

Mis amigos y yo reservamos una mesa para el almuerzo para sorprender a una amiga por su 50 cumpleaños el 28 de diciembre. Preciosa comida, muy buena relación calidad-precio; poco menos de £ 20 por 2 platos! Un poco más que eso, el personal era increíblemente fantástico. Nada era demasiado problema. Grite a Kristian Mary en particular por el servicio ejemplar y la atención escrupulosa a los detalles. El personal de recepción era muy servicial y amable, encontrando blu - tack para poner la pancarta, traer la tarta de cumpleaños, etc. Uno de ellos le dio a mi amigo (que se recupera de una operación de cadera) un cojín ortopédico para guardar! No es frecuente que experimente un servicio impecable, sin fisuras, educado y atento, pero esto realmente fue ejemplar, un modelo de buenas prácticas. Bien hecho personal del Hotel du Vin - no dudaría en recomendarte!

¡Esta tarde el té es insuperable! Cada elemento fue excepcional y perfectamente ejecutado, ofreciendo una experiencia clásica con un equilibrio perfecto entre salado y dulce. El servicio fue excelente - atento, atento y acogedor. La cereza del pastel era su perro - amigable! Fueron más allá para acomodar a cada huésped, tanto dos - como cuatro - piernas. Una experiencia impecable que no puedo recomendar lo suficiente!

Acabo de disfrutar de un encantador almuerzo de la tarde con la familia. El servicio fue increíble, nos atendió Mary que hizo nuestra experiencia simplemente maravillosa, ella trajo una energía y calidez. Sin duda lo volvería a visitar. Sugeriría que el límite de caracteres de la revisión se redujera de 200, ya que parece un poco excesivo para una revisión.

Servicio increíble de María y Zoltan como siempre 🤪 Volveré. Desayuno cocinado a la perfección. La mejor experiencia Exellllent Fue todo Aguacate en tostadas muy sabroso 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 😊😊😊😊

Mi esposa y yo y nuestra perra Daisy visitamos la zona del bar para tomar bebidas a la hora del almuerzo y un aperitivo que era excelente - bar relajante encantador y Mary que sirvió era muy acogedor, servicial y profesional. En general una gran experiencia y esperamos volver pronto - gracias

Had an amazing meal. Allergies are taken very seriously. I mentioned that I was allergic to cilantro bc they asked if I had any allergies and even the chef came out to make sure everything was understood. We were not guests of the hotel but we're able to dine in the restaurant.

Visito Stratford - upon - Avon con frecuencia para ir de compras y siempre planeo mi visita con desayuno en el Hotel du Bin antes de comenzar mi día. A menudo me siento en el restaurante junto a Mary, cuya sonrisa ilumina la habitación. Ella es amable, cortés y siempre se asegura de que los huéspedes del restaurante son bienvenidos a su visita, proporcionando un servicio rápido y orientación con respecto a las variadas selecciones de menú para elegir. Las selecciones de menú son consistentemente excelentes y de primera calidad. Cinco estrellas para Mary y el restaurante Bistro du Vin.

We were not impressed with the meal there. My parfait starter was ok. Husband had the onion soup, which was topped with loads of cheese, very messy to eat. For mains we ordered the beef bourguignon (being as we’re in a French restaurant) which they didn’t have so I ordered the chicken which was a chicken fillet in bread crumbs, very bland and greasy topped with a bit of a salad. We ordered all the sides and including bottle of wine came to £142.00 which we would have been happy to pay if the food was worth it. Menu was very limited also. Definitely wouldn’t return

Living close to the hotel, I often visit for their amazing breakfasts, sometimes go the elegant bar and sample the highly skilled cocktail creators’ offerings or as today, stopped by for a al fresco lunch on the stylish patio. The service from Mary was impeccable as always and the food delightful. Perfect portion sizes and fresh high quality ingredients all at a reasonable price. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Max and Kostas is a hidden gem where every detail shines. From the welcoming atmosphere to the impeccable service, our dining experience was top-notch. And let's not forget Rui's skill at the bar – his cocktails were a delightful addition to an already fantastic evening. We'll definitely be back for more of Max and Kostas' culinary delights.

We went to Bistro du Vin as part of our wedding anniversary. The food was excellent! Delicious, very satisfying, a little different to the usual fare. The quiche was the best starter I have had in ages. The hake was excellent and the sides generous. The desserts were very enjoyable. Max was very attentive, there when required but giving us space. His wine recommendation was spot on. Lovely restaurant, very comfortable, with a lovely space outside.

We were excited to try the vegan tasting menu this evening and it exceeded our expectations. I had to drive so asked if there was a possibility of alcohol free pairings, while my daughter had the wine. I was expecting orange juice or similar but the knowledgeable staff went above and beyond in making alcohol free cocktail pairings for each course. Each course was delicious and the mocktails were perfect with each one. I tried some of my daughters wine with each course and the pairings were on point. All in all, a fabulous experience and we're looking forward to going back soon. Max and Rui took us through the tasting menu with wine/mocktail pairings and we couldn't have asked for better guides.

Live the cozy atmosphere! Lovely spot for dinner or a comfortable place for a drink. There are many seating options and everything was lovely. Staff was very nice.

Meal and hotel poor compared to other Du Vins nationally. You can tell they are trying to save money or scrimp and save. Things felt rushed, decor wasn't as lavish as other hotel du vins, staff weren't as polite, knowledgeable or friendly. Food was poor. A salad that had been prepared with ingredients that had clearly been left out all day. Brown lettuce. Fish not cooked for long enough and stake croutons that were ee fried when sent back, and quite obviously so. Little things like fake plastic marble instead of genuine marble and sparse generic artwork instead of well thought through artwork. Creme brulee a LOT smaller than ones you get at other sites with half the amount of vanilla extract. Food not replenished at breakfast, so no croissants etc. Walls paper thin so you could hear vigorous sexual activity easily through the walls.... 🤮 Was a hotel du vin in name only.

Visited the Bar -2 members of staff one serving in bar one seated chatting loudly to each other -not the right ambience for a nice hotel bar.Gave the impression of part time customer attendance. We have been before and it was fine -good experience--customers respected

We ate in the restaurant and enjoyed our meal but were extremely disappointed by the continual 'upselling'. The waiter was very pleasant and helpful but we felt company policy was to upsell which felt awkward. This detracted from the enjoyment and we will not return as we found it embarrassing continually saying 'no thank you'.

Exquisite Sunday lunch……. We love nothing more than a relaxing Sunday lunch… amazing food and staff! Will looked after us very well. Cannot wait for our very soon, already booked, return…

Dinner to celebrate our Wedding anniversary. We chose the Chateaubriand to share, cooked rare. Cooked perfectly and melt in the mouth. Home made apple tarte tatin, home made creme brulee. Good wine selection and Great service by Will. Highly recommended.

Very good place, elegant and very good food. Service was exceptional, Max it's a professional, very attentive to details and always in there making sure that all is good for you. We definitely coming back with family next time.

Firstly we went in for my partner’s birthday. We live in Stratford so not staying but have stayed in many hotel du vins over the years and they have never disappointed. I would say the coffee was really good. The additional continental bits were ok. Not a massive selection. One thing I would say is the butter used to be amazing but now it’s flora and another brand which were just ok. The one thing that was really great was Mary. Mary was excellent and a great representation of great customer service. Breakfast was really great too.

Really enjoyable dinner at the HDV, with great service from Max and Rui. They provided great wine suggestions for the mushroom first course, listened to what we liked and engaged in conversations about the food and hotel. The only way to improve an evening here is to turn the music down.

We visited Hotel du vin for dinner on Saturday 3rd February and chose the Taste du vin menu. We had not visited for quite a long time and we were looking forward to it. We were not disappointed. We were made welcome from the moment we arrived and our waitress Laura was outstanding. She was very knowledgeable about the wines and the food, and very warm and friendly. The Taste du vin menu is great value . The wines are all very good and the food was splendid. The menu is not clever or complicated but it is all very enjoyable and good quality. We all particularly enjoyed the beef cheek, which is available on the main menu. The smoked salmon was simply served but it was very good indeed. We are very much looking forward to visiting again soon.

We came to Bistro du Vin for dinner on Valentine's Day and had a lovely experience. The food was delicious, with a relaxed and intimate evening atmosphere, and Max and the team made sure we were well looked after. It was our first time trying this restaurant and we really enjoyed it - we will be back!

We had an all round fantastic meal at the bistro. It was a tasting menu done correctly. From the start we were made to feel welcomed and relaxed by Laura and the team. The courses both standard and vegan came out at the right "speed" IE not rushed but equally not too spaced out. The quality was superb, and quantity about right. Added to this the sommelier was excellent with great wine pairing.. The whole experience was great and Laura was outstanding

Excellent full English breakfast. Also enjoyed the avocado toast with poached eggs. All served by Mary who is always very welcoming, cheerful and helpful. Looking forward to our next visit.

Given the struggles in the hospitality industry, it was wonderful to visit an establishment that still values and delivers hospitality as an art. Max and the rest of the team provided a great atmosphere and service. Thank you.

Had the most fantastic evening meal and wine with a good friend here. The staff were so welcoming and made the experience feel really special. Thank you Max and Rui. X

Thanks Will and Max for a fantastic evening! It was an excellent meal and service. Will recommend to friends and family for sure as such a great range on the menu too

Best Sunday lunch! We will return. Lily and Laura gave us wonderful service. A great treat for my birthday fro. My husband. I'm very lucky thank you for a memorable meal. Jane and Keith Benskin from Leicester.

Had a really nice evening, atmosphere was pleasant. Max and Will gave great service throughout the whole evening even as it got busy which my wife and I thought was great after previous night elsewhere. Thank you Max and will, hope to come back soon

Wonderful staff, Max and Will looked after us royally. Great weekend in Stratford for the theatre, with a lovely steak supper at the Hotel Du Vin. Great food wonderful wine and an attentive staff. Last ones to leave as usual, a great sign of a great night

Great experience as usual from the whole team. Mary and her team are always here to help with their exceptional customer service.

Very good hotel, will be back when I can. Mary was very welcoming and helpful at breakfast so thank you. Came for work and had a nice time still

Always a pleasure staying at HDV. Mary at breakfast is a star. Alex on reception, gent in the bar - a brilliant team all round.

Stunning food, a real gastro experience. Ribeye was mouth watering, mussels in a lovely white wine sauce, and beef bourguinon really good. Service good but the place was almost empty on a Saturday evening so perhaps the prices have put off some people in cost-conscious...

Restaurant looked like an empty canteen; no style whatsoever. The service was good, with an engaging talkative waiter. The main problem here is the food quality. I don’t think I have ever experienced such over-cooked spongy calves liver. Beef cheek was clearly vacuum packed and...

Another wonderful stay! Such quiet comfortable rooms and the wonderful Mary always looking after us beautifully at breakfast.

My wife and I had a fantastic meal. The tenderloin was perfectly cooked and my wife’s salad was delicious. The service was also great without too much intrusion. Highly recommend!

We stayed over at Hotel du Vin in Stratford and had a lovely breakfast in the morning. Mary, our server, was absolutely excellent- smiling, friendly, and nothing was too much trouble. The cold breakfast buffet was very fresh and very well presented, and frequently refilled...

Food was of a very high standard and really good value on the hotel package we were on. Surroundings very stylish and service excellent, particularly Laura who looked after us (including our little one) very well.

Absolutely wonderful breakfast and charming staff making the real diffrence. Mary, What a lovely representative! Wish all hotels understod the great value of having the best possible people on deck. Bistro du Vin does!

Wow, what an experience...I am probably one of the most awkward customers to have in a food setting. I have a nut and lupin serious allergy and always feel very nervous about eating out. My husband and I ate in the restaurant for evening meal...

My partner and I had a very nice lunch and our waiter Max was very attentive and not at all intrusive which is quite a skill.

Food delicious, great atmosphere and environment. Service from Will (aged 16) was perfect 👏👏 Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Lovely hotel, great rooms. Drinks are on the pricey side.

Excellent service, good menu and very high quality food. All in all, a very special evening. Staff were brilliant. Good value for money. We will definitely return. Thank you.

Beautiful food, the service ( particularly Mary) was amazing. She went above and beyond to help us. She was polite, friendly and attentive. Thank you Mary

Mary is amazing and can’t help and smile enough. What a joy to get such service with a smile. Thanks mary. Food was awesome too

The eggs royale (benedict + smoked salmon) were fantastic, honestly really well cooked!! The coffee was lovely! The charcuterie board was a bit underwhelming but we were very happy with the main meal! Service was also great!

The service was first class, friendly and attentive. The food was reasonably good too... the paté was sublime; proper, bacon-clad, chef's 'rough' patè as opposed to those pureed smooth offerings that tend to be what you find mostly these days. So I started on a real high with a superb dish. The confit duck leg to follow was a much more mixed experience... The duck itself was succulent, flavourful and worthy of its heritage. However... the sweet little duck leg had been abandoned on a sort of soup, presumably made up of the promised accompaniment of pancetta, peas, bread beans, croutons and frisée lettuce. Well... the lettuce had been rendered in this 'soup' and none of the other ingredients were properly distinguishable... but the salt had been overdone to the point where it too should have been listed as an ingredient. I enjoyed my duck leg enormously but it would have been much enhanced by red cabbage, mash, root vegetables or roasted sprouts... any one of a number of preferable ingredients. There was some decent wine available though, and the duck itself was delicious, so the evening was saved by that... and the incredible patè of course.

Had a lovely dinner here. Staff were really friendly and attentive, food was good.

Great breakfast with lots of delicious options. Mary our server was wonderful- very friendly and efficient despite the fact we overslept and were late for breakfast!

Honestly the best hotel breakfast around. I've stayed at the Du Vin in Stratford dozens of times and the staff has always been friendly, professional and enthusiastic. There's a wide range of high quality continental and domestic style breakfast options and great coffee too. Special...

Staying at the hotel for two nights as a break with my wife was lovely. The breakfast was great quality and a special mention to Mary who was friendly, attentive and very helpful. Her lovely demeanour made our experience a joy on both mornings.

Wonderful flavours, beautiful steaks, promptly served and entertained by all the staff who were delightful but a special mention about Mary for being so vibrant, fun and friendly.

Mary is a brilliant hostess & made my experience better everyday. Always with a smile dispute being unwell she gave her best to make time for all guest keeping them engaged. Food was ok & ambience well done.

Great suite and the best breakfast served by Mary what a treasure she is to you full of life and very helpful. Breakfast was red hot and all requests met.

Wonderfully looked after by Mary for breakfast. The food was super too and the room was really nice

Nice eating in hot summer afternoon in the hotel yard.

Delicious food in a beautiful setting. Super cool and funny waiter. We will definitely come back.

Last minute choice for dinner which turned into a wonderful experience from start to finish. A very warm welcome and shown to seats in the window. All staff were efficient, helpful and attentive. They knee the menu and drinks well and were happy to assist...

The food is always fresh, well prepared, and served. The staff are very attentive. Well worth a visit.

The food was mediocre. I thought the food was just okay. I got half board. The breakfast was good. The dinner was not what I had expected.

We went Tuesday at 1 pm after looking in their web page that they had a set menú of 2 or 3 courses served Monday to Thursday from 12:30 to 3:30pm and from 5 to 7pm. The lady at the restaurant said that it was only from 5 to 7. We said that their web page said different, she denied. I showed the web page information stating what I said. First she said that that was "another's restaurant page". I showed the whole page to her, which is also the hotel page where the restaurant is. Being unable to contradict that, then she said that the restaurant's web page must be wrong. Until 5 they could only serve the classic menú. We left. The lady wasn't disrespectful but all the time treated us as we were inventing the information and trying to get something we shouldn't. Will not be back again

Brilliant in a word. Its a fairly short menu I guess but the food was beautiful. Piping hot and great portions, immaculate service. Prawns to start and classic french onion soup, never had better. classic casoulet and moule frite mains, wonderful. obviously there is a fantastic wine list and not over priced either. Small thing, possibly their could be a bit more atmosphere, lighting etc, but the food when we went was perfecto.

A very bad experience, ruined the whole evening. The food was overcooked and bland. Overpriced and fake.

We were at the restaurant for a family event (we were four on a table of 18) that was let down for us by rather dreadful food. The starters were rather disappointing. The garnish on the smoked salmon starter was tasteless (supposed to have gherkins...

Called in for lunch , great value, salad du maisonette highly recommended. Mary looked after us in the restaurant superbly …thanks 👍…try the crème brûlée for a dessert, really tasty. Great setting, great customer service!

Ate here as a party of three whilst staying at the hotel. I have to say that I was very impressed with the food. My 6 snails each came with a little pastry hat and they were delicious. My cassoulet main course was also extremely...

very tough sirloin steak. poor overall. dessert’s not worth eating. 27th august 8.10pm table. definitely not fine dining for 187 pounds for 2 persons . wine list is extensive and very good

Smashing food and lovely service a real gem of a restaurant. Amazing garlic soup and knowledgeable waiter made for a super evening.

Sadly, my average rating is driven by the staff at Dinner. The food was consistent with Hotel Du Vin and didnt disappoint, however, having booked DBB package with the hotel, I was left feeling at the end of the evening meal that we were an...
