About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Great for outdoor dining
Côte Ouest Bistro is a contemporary French bistro led by partners Laurent Monchicourt & Martin Sarrailh. In April 2021, the pair transformed the former Baker Street Bistro into a modern 21st century neighborhood gem. At the heart of Laurent and Martin's partnership lies a shared dream: to create a restaurant that embraces guests like family, offering a haven where they can delight in delectable food and wine, surrounded by warm companionship.

Nestle into one of the bay window seats and enjoy conversation over a plate of charcuterie with the perfect glass of Bordeaux. Chef Sarrailh prepares seasonal specialties as well as favorite French classics like Steak Frites and Duck Confit. The custard-soaked Croissant French Toast is not to be missed if you stop by for brunch on the sunny terrace.

Côte Ouest Bistro has been featured in Forbes magazine and The Infatuation and was named one of the "Top 100 Brunch Restaurants in the Nation 2024" by Open Table.

                                                Cote Ouest is a neighborhood gem! We had early Mothers Day dinner with the family and it was spectacular! Appetizers included pate, a goat cheese squash combination, and a burrata salad, and main courses of the duck confit, salmon and steak were all superb. Save room for the desserts - the crème brûlée and the warm chocolate cake were amazing. Great service and charming French bistro!

                                                This is my favorite neighborhood gem!!!! The waitstaff is attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is cozy and lovely. And the FOOD is phenomenal!!!!! Fries crispy & hot, salads dressed to perfection with sensational toppings, the quiche. NEVER EVER DISAPPOINTS and the other items I’ve eaten there all - every single one of them - are top shelf. Never had a bad time here.
