Everything at Côte Brasserie is inspired by the brasseries of Paris, and this one at Cardiff Bay is no exception. The decor radiates elegance and the menu is oozing with charm. Côte is open for breakfast, lunch, dinner or simply just a coffee. Either way, produce is fresh and dishes are prepared with oodles of French passion. If dining from the a la carte then consider starting with steak tartare or some crab mayonnaise with avocado and toasted sourdough. Past that, Cardiff’s Côte Brasserie offers light mains in the way of chicken and walnut salad. Then plenty of prime meat, fresh fish, and corn fed poultry from Normandy.
