COTE BRASSERIE

Cote Brasserie is like that friend who tries really hard but just doesn’t quite hit the mark. The food is nice enough, but it’s not blowing anyone’s socks off. Ekleba thought the Crab Pot Starter was a must-try, while others found the seafood linguine a bit of a letdown. The atmosphere is pleasant, and the staff are genuinely charming, making it a decent spot for a meal if you’re in the area.

For a casual catch-up or brunch by the Thames, it works, but you might leave feeling like you expected more. It’s a safe bet if you’re after something straightforward, just don’t set your expectations too high.
