The Côte Fleurie's wine hotspots

Although known for its ciders, Normandy is also home to some fantastic wine bars in Deauville and its surrounding area. Here's our guide to the very best on your hotel's doorstep.

Les Étiquettes: a warm welcome

A fuss-free, unpretentious atmosphere awaits inside this bar that's as delightful inside as it is on its terrace. The wine list boasts a stunning array of crisp whites and fruity reds, and we recommend ordering a bottle and a platter or board to share alongside: tuck into fish tartare, rillettes and home-made tapenade.

L’Apéro: perfect any time of the day

Sink into its cosy armchairs or grab a seat at the bar! This is an instant crowd-pleaser whatever the time of day or night. The kitchen whips up freshly made snacks, from samosas to spring rolls and fried onions. Try a rosé slushy or a light red, or ask for a dry white wine to enjoy alongside your goat's cheese-filled puff pastry.

La Plancha: Hispanic vibes

Decked out in bright colours and panels in a tribute to the director Almodovar, this bar is an ode to decadence, featuring tapas done in authentic Spanish style. Enjoy a glass of powerful red with a plate of marinated sardines set to a backdrop of flamenco beats to heighten the intensity of your night out.

Le Winch: pop colours

This bar is a part of the Deauville Centre Mercure hotel and boasts décor as lively and vibrant as a sparkling wine. Settle into velour armchairs and relax as you ponder the beautiful stripes on the walls. Have a look at the list of grands crus available as the mellow background music gently lulls you into total relaxation. Whether you choose a glass of red or champagne, we can guarantee you're set to experience a magical moment.
