Chez Vincent Wine Bar

What a gem! We took the water taxi and walked around and found this lovely wine bar! The owners welcomed us and let us choose our table. They quickly brought us menus and water as we reviewed the menu. What a special place to be able to get wine recommendations from the winemaker from Chateau Margaux! Great wine list, wonderful cheese and charcuterie plates, and warm atmosphere. High praise and highly recommend that you detour to stop in and see this family for a visit.

Feeling like you’re in Europe… in Fort Lauderdale! A little piece of Europe, a touch of France ❣️ This place is an absolute gem in the heart of Fort Lauderdale! High-quality ingredients, beautifully explained by the sweetest owners who welcome you with open arms and make you feel right at home. There’s no rush, no check brought to the table while you’re still eating, no overwhelming presence of waitstaff pressuring you to finish up. Instead, you’ll find quality, time, and warmth. In a city that’s becoming more and more fast-paced—where dining often feels like a race to flip the table—this spot stays true to European values, where meals are meant to be enjoyed slowly and intentionally. 🩷 The owners are incredibly kind and genuinely friendly, from wine recommendations to sharing the stories behind each dish. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for a truly wonderful evening — we’ll be back very soon! ❣️

Vincent and his wife were very welcoming. We had her specialty (chorizo, tomatoes, and goat cheese on French baguette) and it was very tasty. Vincent explained the concept of an authentic French wine bar and that all we ate and drank was imported from France. Everything was delicious. We came as a group for a birthday party and it was definitely one of our best experiences. The guitarist was very talented as well. We will be back! :)

💕💕💕 what a gem! Small little French wine bar, served by the French owners, amazing French cheese, relaxing ambiance, live music during Saturdays, and great wine recommendations. Fist time here, and I had such a great experience. The wine recommendation was on point, their prices for wine are fair, and their service is top-notch. If you are a wine lover, you should come to this place, and they'll recommend good wine based on your preferences

We visited for happy hour and had an amazing time. We ordered the French and Italian trios and had 3 glasses of wine each. Vincent provided great wine recommendations based on our preferences. Amazing service, friendly and fun. We will definitely be back next time we’re in town! 5 stars all around!

An amazingly cute little French wine bar. Vincent and his wife and daughter run the place and they are absolutely a gem. Fantastic wine selection. Charcuterie and cheeses. Adorable decor. Plenty of parking. Try this place for a romantic little getaway. You won't be disappointed. The imported cheeses and the wine selection are perfect.

My new go to spot. My new lagniappe (only Miami peeps will understand). Vincent the owner is very kind and well versed on everything he is serving! All meals were extremely delicious and turns out our table was a chess table! Came here for valentines dinner and will definitely be back!!

Fabulous hidden gem in Fort Lauderdale run by an absolutely lovely family!! They made wonderful cheese recommendations, and the Billecart Rose was outstanding! Can’t wait to return.

I stopped by Chez Vincent Wine Bar as I had heard they served some very good wines by the glass and wanted to see if they had one of my favorites, Chateauneuf du Pape, available. And to my surprising delight, they did. It was so delicious. But, what I really liked about Chez Vincent Wine Bar was its comfortable ambiance, good service, and stunning décor of upside-down umbrellas hanging from the ceiling; totally creative. Besides delicious wines by the bottle or by the glass, Chez Vincent Wine Bar also offers a great selection of charcutiers. I had their "Le Trio Francais" which consisted of a dry salami rosette of Lyon, Madrange white ham, and a duck rillette being a delicious pate that went so well with my Chateauneuf du Pape. They of course also have cheese plates and other good plate selections they refer to as their "Mixes," as they contain multiple mixes of true gourmet delights. The last time I was there, they also had a man playing a MIDI keyboard for entertainment.

Great food and wine! Excellent service and love the ambiance, will be back very soon!

Absolutely love the decor, umbrellas, seating, and lighting. I decided on coffee and mini desserts and my mom ordered their burrata salad. Mine came out about 20 minutes before the salad and we noticed that other patrons that were seated after us received their meals before my mom. Not sure if it was just an off night but we had to request the bread (again, provided to other tables). The food was good but probably will not go back.

This place is chill, my friend (Asif) and I highly recommend, child vibes, beck yeah!!

A hidden gem. Warm and friendly atmosphere, knowledgeable and professional wine bar owners/staff/family. Lovely ambience with live music. The best place to enjoy some wine along with charcuterie plate

We love this cute little French Wine Bar. Run by Vincent and his family, it has a great happy hour, where you can get most glasses of wines at 50% and special savings on some of their charcuterie plates and food menu items. Tuesday to Sunday 5p-7p. They are closed on Mondays. You can reserve a table by using Yelp reservations and pick from the lively inside dining area or the cute outdoor sidewalk section. The staff is personable, friendly and warm. Just a great place for a nice French culinary experience.

Wine, food and atmosphere was fantastic! Service was excellent and guitar player was very good. Great evening!

I watched Asif Khan interview Vincent for his YouTube channel ("Too Apree"). I wish I could patronize you guys, but I live in California. Vincent me semble etre un mec tres agreable. Que Dieu vous benisse.

This was my first time here and I really enjoyed it. I came with some friends who come here quite a bit. Although it's a French wine bar and owned by a French family they have wines from other countries as well. We enjoyed their happy hour which is from 5:00 to 7:00, half off wines and food. I asked to taste the riesling, they happily allowed me to do so and then I ordered a glass. We ordered a charcuterie board and also a cheese board which was really nice with our wine. Being in the wine bar made me feel like I was in Europe not Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Best wine bar in South Florida! Outstanding selection of wines! Delicious charcuterie, salads, sandwiches, and pastries in very Parisienne setting! It is family owned (husband, wife, daughter) who treat you as family! Love supporting this local gem!

Made a reservation to do wine tasting with my husband for our anniversary, got there to realized that I messed up and did just a regular reservation because they usually do wine tasting on Tuesdays and Wednesdays ( was a Friday) but to our surprise Vincent daughter offered to ask her dad and see if he could do the tasting for us, at first I said no because I was embarrassed but she said was no problem and if he was available he could do it, and to our surprise he came to our table and told us to give him 10 min to get the room and wine ready and he will love to do the sampling just for us, wow! The experience was extraordinary, aside that being a wonderful wine connoisseur Vincent is really passionate about wine and really proud of what he does, we had a wonderful time and his wife and daughter were a sweetheart, even bring us a special dessert to celebrate our special day, we left with a lot of knowledge about wine and a delightful memory about Chez Vincent, thank you so much for the kindness and the amazing service and wine and food! Mary & Danny

Asif introduced me to this place, very great place and owner is very kind and caring. He knows how to treat people and speaks with eloquence. Highly recommend.

Excellent place. Newish ownership - caring people. Great atmosphere, amazing wines and lovely smorgasbord type food. Love this place.

We wanted to see why this place was 5-stars and after an amazing and relaxing evening, we found out. The owners (Vincent & Alexa I believe) were amazing and treated us (as well as everyone else in the restaurant) as you would treat an old friend. The wine, the charcuterie, and the service was magnifique. Merci, Dan & Meg

A lovely place. The owners are French and very nice people. Superb selection of French wines by the glass, and the small platter containing duck rillet was excellent.

Local gem alert! Thinking back about this great local spot just warms my heart up. This family-owned wine bar is a great place to spend a few hours sipping on wine and catching up with friends. The day I visited the entire family was at the place. The father loves to chat about wine, was so kind to show us a book documenting some of his favorite memories of back in the day when he used to work in a French vineyard. He also showed us the tasting room in the back of the establishment where he opened a box containing scents used during the tastings. We will be back for a those.

Wow, what a gem! I'm so glad we stopped by. We had the trio Francais paired with two glasses of their best French red (Margaux Chateau la tour de Mons & Lussac Saint Emilion). Their happy hour is all week with half off all wine except their sparkling wine from 5pm-7pm along with their trio platters being half off. 10/10 recommend and will bring friends and family next time!

We stopped at this place the other evening. It is located in the old Vinos in Galt Mile. Much better atmosphere at this spot. It is a family run wine bar and everyone there is so friendly. The owner used to be in the wine business in France and picks all the wines on the menu. We tried a few delicious ones and had a great cheese plate to accompany it. 5 stars and they have a nice happy hour

Fabulous ..and happy hour is crazy amazing and so inexpensive! Great everything..we came back the next night

Was here for an event, but I definitely enjoyed all the food and wine pairings. The compté cheese was one of the top favs that was served with a fruit preserves. And the aged parm was a close second . I'm not a huge meat eater but taste a great ham and aged salami. I'm not a wino but the owner has dedicated his life to making wine, There's even a wine tasting room. I really enjoyed the pâté and would say was my fav thing. This is the cutest spot with live music some nights, and it's local and family owned, which is the best part and I got to meet the sweetest people. Totally recommend It for date night or small parties. Bon apetit!

Good food, nice servers. Always a fun crowd! Start selling the funny shirts!! We really like them

What a great find. The owners explained each cheese that we chose and picked the wines that would complement it. The interior of the restaurant was very warm and cozy. Happy Hour was fabulous! Will definitely return here the next time we are in Fort Lauderdale.

The best of France resides on the beach in Fort Lauderdale. Cozy wine bar with light food options to accompany wide selection of wine. Family run with warm and friendly ambiance--live music add to a wonderful evening !

We visited Chez Vincent Wine Bar for the first time last week, but it will not be the last time. We were there during their "happy hour" which has wines and some of their charcuterie/cheese plates at 50% off. We tried the French Trio for both the meats and the cheeses, and it was beautifully presented and delicious. We've always been a bit wary of pate, but it was phenomenal. For the wines, we trusted Vincent to make recommendations and he was right on point. During the whole evening (we stayed a while), we were treated like guests at their home. We enjoyed the food, the wine and chatting with Vincent! There was even live music, at the perfect volume - you could hear it perfectly but still could carry out a conversation without having to yell at each other. We can't wait to return!

They have only been open for 5 months, so I just recently discovered this place. This the best date night spot you've never been to. (Fellas)

Had a great Sunday afternoon at Chez Vincent Wine Bar! The owners are a lovely couple who are so sweet and knowledgeable about wine. They have a great selection of food and wine and even brought out water for my dog. Very enjoyable day, I'll definitely be back

Never in my life have I left a review on Yelp but here I couldn't help it. I sat in the corner downloading Yelp knowing that I have to let everyone know about this gem. It's beautiful, welcoming, and so much more. The atmosphere, the music, the hospitality, everything about it is truly what you'd want from a wine bar. Would a 10000% recommend and would come back over and over.

Wonderful calm place with a fantastic happy hour. Great service. Love this place. Have brought many friends there .

Oct 2022, came here with friends for drinks on Thursday, and ended up ordering two different charcuterie plates that were accompanied by fresh bread, cornichons, butter with Guerande salt. One plated called "LE TRIO FRANÇAIS" (THE FRENCH TRIO) " and "LE TRIO FRANÇAIS" both plates were delicious. They have a nice selection of wines as well. The staff were friendly, service was quick and great. I would definitely come back here if I am ever in the area. This is a must try French Wine Bar.

Amazing wine and such a gem For the neighborhood. The owners are incredibly nice and so inattentive. They have complete knowledge about all the wines they sell and Al have a complete coffee and espresso bar. We will definitely be back here

If you have not been to Chez Vincent in Fort Lauderdale yet, you have not experienced a truly unique wine experience from a wine master. The winemaker of Chateau Margaux has graciously decided to share his vast knowledge with us here and open up and incredible wine bar, with an authentic taste of France. Run by himself and his beautiful family, they bring genuine French products, expertise in wine and a truly fantastic experience to our corner of the globe...and we are lucky to have him! I had the pleasure of getting to know the family tonight and this place has quickly become a favorite on my go to list. Trust me, it will not disappoint. DO NOT miss this on your visit to Fort Lauderdale if you enjoy a great wine tasting experience from someone who really knows their stuff!

Great place to get a cheese plate with Charcuterie, to pair with great wines, they have Guinness and Stella on tap with several other great beer choices for friends who might not want wine.

Happy hour charcuterie great deal and Friday and Saturday after 6 also a musician. Real wine expert and a nice atmosphere

Had an absolute wonderful time at Chez Vincent Wine Bar wine and cheese event. I had a white and champagne and wow. Just wow. The decor was unique and beautiful. This is definitely a hidden gem in Oakland Park that you need to try!

Very cozy friendly family run gem. We were in on a Saturday night to see Bo Lankenau play acoustic Guitar. The sound was great and watching him finger pick was quite a show. Great food, service and entertainment. We'll be back soon.

Beautiful wine bar excellent food and service will be back for sure owners are from France so sweet and delicious pastrys

Fantastic evening at this family-owned and operated wine bar. Duck breast salad and burrata were nice but the wines are the main attraction. Go there to taste carefully selected and reasonably priced rosé, white or red you wont find anywhere else. Learned a lot about wines from Vincent who has been there and done that for years at Chateau Margaux. Easy parking nearby. Save room for dessert.

OUI! OUI! OUI! The French Art of Living in Fort Lauderdale! If I could put 10 on 5, I would! The owners Vincent, Claire and Anastasia are so welcoming! The wine is devine and the charcuteries et cheeses plates are just sublime! The best I had since living in Paris. It's a wonderful discovery that will become our favorite! Bravo!!! J'adore!

I love this place and amazing prices, don't expect to see big markups here. I can't buy some of their wines cheaper at the store myself. Wonderful people that work there as well. Atmosphere is perfect for a wine bar also.

Another great experience at Chez Vincent. Charcuterie and Croque Monsieur were outstanding. The wine speaks for itself... good quality and selection.

This is what Ft Lauderdale has needed for so long! A real wine bar! We love this place. The owners are a beautiful French couple who couldn't be more accommodating and Vincent, the owner, and bar namesake, is a former wine maker from Bordeaux, the pinnacle wine making region in France. He has carried his French experiences to recreate the quintessential wine bar in Fort Lauderdale. Vincent carefully curates the wine and insures that each bottle is acceptable before service. The happy hour specials are unbeatable as you have the opportunity to sample a cross section of French, American and other wines from around the world at 1/2 price and pair with cheese and charcuterie plates. They have a can't miss duck rillette and Bayonne ham (French prosciutto) and amazing cheeses. -- at Chez Vincent Wine Bar.

This is a spectacular hidden gem. If you live anywhere near Ft. Lauderdale and you like fine French wine and cheese, go. Vincent and his wife are great hosts and will guide your experience. The prices are reasonable to taste very high quality wines. Even moreso during happy hour.

I love here HHS and love your service, I come back in the next time Wow, what an amazing experience. This family owned and run restaurant from France really bring the French cafe experience to Florida. All the food and wine was directly from Europe and (especially on happy hour) super affordable. Everyone we met was so absolutely awesome and kind. This will be our new go to spot for charcuterie and wine.

French Wine bar with "real' French food ( I should know...I'm French ;-). Fun place to have great wines with friends. Not to be missed in LBTS / LAUDERDALE

The wine, cheese, and meats were all directly from France, Spain, and Italy! It was a fantastic experience and I like forward to seeing Nastasia and the whole family again soon! Our pups loved the place too!
