Côte St Albans

“The set lunch here is a bargain”
– Good Food GuideAward-winning restaurant Côte Brasserie has cemented itself all over the United Kingdom as the go-to spot for relaxed, all-day French dining, and this, the St Albans location is testament. Here, a highly trained and dedicated team have created a dining experience that has acquired rather a strong following in this Hertfordshire city. Situated along High Street in the city centre, Côte Brasserie St Albans makes you feel like you’ve been transported to the rustic French countryside as you relax in the cosy restaurant or out on the terrace under a grand old tree best observed in full bloom during the spring and summer months. Book your table to avoid missing out.

With polished wooden floorboards and a cosy fireplace, Côte Brasserie in St Albans is the epitome of elegant and relaxed dining. Located in a charming space that resembles a country manor – along High Street in the city centre – Côte Brasserie St Albans also has a stunning terrace perfect for outdoor dining. Offering brasserie-style French cuisine and an extensive wine list with many bottles sourced from regional wineries in France, it’s not difficult to see how Côte has become a winner among the St Albans locals.

We recommend trying the steak tartare for an appetiser, finely chopped raw beef mixed with shallots, capers, cornichons, egg yolk and cognac, before following with the delicious risotto vert for a fresh and tasty second course. Dessert is a must, and the tarte fine aux pommes, a crisp puff pastry with finely layered apples and vanilla ice-cream is our pick of the bunch, paired, of course, with a damn good glass of wine. Whether you’re in the mood for an indulgent evening out, a wholesome breakfast or just in for French sweet treats and coffee, Côte Brasserie St Albans has something to satisfy any casual diner.
