March 2020

It was wonderful to see the Paris Wine Bar in Church Road, Hove newly re-opened in February.  The cafe looked wonderful with its bright new paint and inviting chairs and tables.

It was also good the see the renaissance of La Cave à Fromage in Western Road, Hove which has become L’atelier du Vin and Whey – both of which are fortunately still trading, albeit on a much reduced scale.

The Covid-19 virus  has very sadly meant that, for the time being, such wonderful French themed small bars, cafes and restaurants cannot operate fully.  Let’s wish all the best for “after” the lock-down to: Mange Tout in Trafalgar Street, Petit Pois in Ship Street, Terre à Terre in East Street, Le Nantais bistrot in Palmeira Square, La Fourchette in Queens Place, Hove and others that may have been forgotten.  Many of these businesses now offer a delivery service, so do support them if you can.

Bonne chance pour l’avenir. 

Good luck for the future.
