Côte Covent Garden is a French brasserie on Tavistock Street, a short walk from Covent Garden Market and several West End theatres. Its Parisian inspired interior serves breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner, giving shoppers, theatre audiences and local workers a flexible place to eat throughout the day.
French favourites anchor the main menu, including steak frites and a rich beef cheek bourguignon. Seasonal starters, seafood, salads and carefully prepared vegetable dishes sit alongside the brasserie classics, while the prix fixe selection offers a structured option before an evening performance.
Breakfast brings barista coffee, French toast, croques, eggs and lighter morning choices. Separate vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options make the broad menu easier to navigate, and a children’s selection helps the restaurant accommodate family visits as well as adult occasions.
French wine and familiar desserts provide a natural conclusion, whether the meal is a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner. Outdoor tables add appeal in suitable weather, while a private dining room for up to eighteen guests can host birthdays, business meals and other small gatherings.
Address: 17–21 Tavistock Street, Covent Garden, London WC2E 7PA, United Kingdom
