Côte (Bury St Edmunds)

15th July 2015 by Richard Bagnold Leave a Comment

Charming French brasserie chain affording superb value for money

This is simply an outstanding value for money eatery.  Why? Because there are not that many other places you can have a glass of Kir Royale (champagne and crème de cassis) for £4.25 and a three course set menu supper for £11.90(!).  The quality of the cooking will suit almost any taste buds (was warmed to see that the hollondaise to go with my salmon fish cake main was made in the kitchen) and the liver mousse, salmon cakes and chocoloate pot were all completely lovely no question.  The only negative being I was only just full at the end, but then again, at £11.90 for the 3 courses (as long as ordered before 7pm) one cannot expect the earth on a plate (some more veg woud not have gone a miss though).  The service was very caring and I cannot sing highly enough about this chain for its unpretentious nature and simple quality for such good value.  Encore Côte!

About Me

meMy hobby-turned-passion began to evolve during my assignments to London where I was fortunate enough to be able to explore all the Michelin starred restaurants in my spare time and as a result, I gradually built up a catalogue of all these venues.
