I’m French, and Côte Brasserie used to be one of our favourite places for a relaxed, authentic taste of home here in the UK. We’ve visited countless times over the years. The menu once captured real French flavours — the Duck Confit, slow-cooked and meltingly tender with green lentils and red-wine jus, was always perfect. The charcuterie board came with beautifully cured alpine salumi, cornichons, and rustic bread; the Poulet Breton was comforting and full of flavour. And where are the crisp French fries and those lovely sides?We tried the new menu on 1 October: the crab mayonnaise was good, and my husband’s pasta ragù was fine, but my seafood pasta was disappointing — bland defrosted prawns, mussels with a strong smell, plain spaghetti, and no parmesan offered.Most of the French staples have vanished, and what’s left feels cost-cut and generic. Please bring back the signature dishes and the focus on flavour that once made Côte so special.
