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.

    I’ve eaten here for lunch and now dinner ad both times it was equally very good. I love the vibe in the place—friendly, casual, professional yet not stuffy and the kind of place you end up talking with people seated near you. My husband had the duck confit, our friends had the steak and frites and I had the mussels and frites. Their fries are very tasty and they serve a very generous portion. We all enjoyed our meals and would not hesitate to eat here again. It’s a great neighborhood place.

    Three generations of our family gathered for brunch today. Everyone loved their food and it was quiet enough for good conversation.

    Leaves a memory! No pretension, just well executed service and savory food. Wedged in between the Final Final and the Presidio, I assumed parking and the wait for a table would be a nightmare. Not so, parking was a breeze and seating immediate. Our waiter was friendly and paced entree delivery perfectly. Dishes ordered: beet salad, egg sandwich, crab sandwich, French onion soup…delicious! Revisiting soon!
