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.

Always consistent - we had burrata salad, French onion soup and the steak with pomme frites topped off with the apple tart for dessert. Of course the wonderful French Chablis was a good choice.

Food was great and my two little picky eaters also enjoyed the mussels and fries and the French toast croissant. The inside is bright and airy, the wait staff was efficient but friendly.

Cote Ouest is a neighborhood gem. It is a French restaurant with the best French Onion soup I have ever tasted. They serve meats, pork, fish and great salads. They carry mussels, oysters. It is a small place but they have about 7 people staffing the place. I saw about 5 cooks in the small kitchen. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating to your requests.
