my friend april, whom we call ape or gilligan (for the obvious similarities), took me on a hot artist’s date to this place we kept hearing about called brasserie du vin. it’s located in the upper end of honolulu’s chinatown, an area that in recent years has enjoyed a do-over and is now home to some wonderful indie shops, art galleries and eateries.
du vin’s happy hour is simply wonderful. a half-off drink sheet ($4 a glass) and an awesome menu, including escargot for a mere $6! we also had the baked brie (killer) and chocolate souffle (at the regular price).
it has such a charming and quaint atmosphere. it really is a tiny little sliver of france (i can only imagine) in downtown honolulu!
happy hour is from 4-6pm. if you see me there say hello! :)
