Côte Kensington is a French brasserie at 47 Kensington Court, close to Kensington Gardens, the Royal Albert Hall and several major museums. Its relaxed dining room and outdoor tables offer an inviting setting for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner or a meal before a performance.
Breakfast combines cooked dishes, eggs, pastries and coffee with lighter choices for the start of the day. The menu then moves into French inspired starters and seasonal plates, making the restaurant equally useful for a brief lunch and a longer gathering built around several courses.
Moules frites is one of the familiar brasserie classics, joined by steak, roast chicken, fish and vegetable dishes. Salads, pasta and considered vegetarian and vegan choices broaden the selection, while changing specials keep the focus on carefully sourced ingredients and seasonal flavours.
Crème brûlée and caramelised tarte Tatin provide distinctly French ways to finish. Wine, cocktails and alcohol free drinks accompany the food, while set menus and a semi private dining space give Côte Kensington flexibility for family meals, celebrations and business gatherings.
Address: 47 Kensington Court, Kensington, London W8 5DA, United Kingdom
