Chez Vincent is a French-owned wine bar near Fort Lauderdale Beach where the winemaker-owner pours imported French wines and serves charcuterie in a relaxed, European-style setting. Best for wine lovers, couples, and anyone who likes to linger.

Overview

Chez Vincent is a French-owned wine bar tucked into the Fort Lauderdale Beach neighborhood at 3312 NE 32nd St, run by Vincent – a winemaker with roots at Chateau Margaux – and his wife. Everything on the menu is imported from France, from the wine list to the cheeses and charcuterie. Guests regularly highlight the chorizo, tomato, and goat cheese on French baguette as a standout, along with French and Italian cheese trios paired with Vincent’s personal wine recommendations tailored to your palate.

The atmosphere channels a European wine cave more than a typical South Florida bar. There is no rush for the check, no pressure to turn your table. The owners greet you personally, walk you through the menu, and share the stories behind each bottle and plate. Reviewers consistently compare the experience to dining in Paris, and the 5.0 Google rating across 167 reviews backs that up.

Live music from a guitarist adds to the mood on Saturdays, and the cozy indoor space is complemented by outdoor seating that welcomes dogs. Happy hour covers both drinks and food, making it approachable for a casual weeknight stop or a more intentional date night. The bar draws a mix of tourists exploring the beach area, groups celebrating birthdays or special occasions, and solo diners who appreciate being treated like a guest in someone’s home rather than a customer on a ticket.

Chez Vincent accepts reservations and offers takeout and delivery for anyone who wants to bring a taste of France home. If you are a wine lover looking for something personal and unhurried in Fort Lauderdale, this is the detour worth making.
