One of the UK’s fastest growing casual dining groups, Cote Restaurants is to open a new bistro in Hertfordshire, and a further site in North Yorkshire next month.
The French-style brassiere chain has applied for a music and alcohol licence at the vacant Pig and Truffle site in Howardsgate, Welwyn Garden City, and for one in Albert Street venue in Harrogate.
Cote was created in 2007 and specialises in traditional food, covering a range of meat, fish and vegetable dishes.
The kitchens source corn-fed chickens from the heart of rural Brittany, pork rillettes and Charentais melons direct from the legendary Rungis market in Paris sit alongside classic ingredients such as English asparagus from Herefordshire, Breton tomatoes and mussels - featured on the menu when the season allows.
The specials menu changes monthly so that there is always something new to try including whole grilled lobster, côte de boeuf or scallops.
Lastly, there is the wine list, by working with small wine producers and co-operatives, our wine list from France is more extensive than most.
