This is by far one of my Favorite places to have lunch and dinner. I found Du Vin in my search for a place that served whole mussels. Something that is very hard to find here in Hawaii. But I found them and I found them oh so good!
I have to go to Du Vin at least once a month.
I have tried so many different items on the menu but I always go back to these 2 items which are my favorite.

-Moules frites -- Salt spring mussels steamed in white wine, garlic and herbs, topped with pommes frites $14

Ok, like I said it is hard to find whole mussels and I was so excited to have found them. But would they live up to my expectations? Oh how they did! You get a big pot of mussels and with pommes frites(french fries) on top so you can dip them in the broth. The mussels have always been fresh, good and with lots of garlic.

-Grilled tiger shrimp with mixed greens, roasted shallots, poached pears, apple-smoked bacon and blue cheese vinaigrette $14

This salad is so good and make for a perfect lunch. the combination of the bacon with the apples is really good. I am not a big fan of blue cheese but this vinaigrette paired well with the shrimp and bacon. Very rustic and delicious.

If your looking to be transported to France then this is the place. I love sitting in the restaurant although they have out door seating in the back and a room to have a party in. Inside it is a little darker and very rustic. i love that the tables and chairs do not match. The wood floors give this restaurant a warm and welcoming feel. There is all kinds of antique items and beautiful artwork on the wall. the walls are painted to look antique and rustic. I like to site in the corner table, really feels like a brasserie in France. And as we all know I loved France and do whatever I can to bring back those very fond memories.
There is an extensive wine list. Although they do not serve any Beaujolais wine which is all over France, there are other options that are just as good.

Service is always good and food comes out hot and fresh.
