Champagne Brunch at Cote Restaurant, Review – We recently tried out the weekend brunch at Cote. I have been to Cote many times but never for brunch, so it was all new for us. If you haven’t been before they are serve a modern French offering in a stylish environment with an emphasis on good service.
They serve several brunch classics like:
Full Breakfast
Two free range eggs, bacon, pork sausage, tomato, mushrooms and toast.
Eggs Benedict
Two poached eggs on a toasted muffin with homemade Hollandaise sauce and ham.
French Toast
Brioche, wild berry compote, fresh berries, crème fraiche.
Vegan Breakfast
Vegan sausage, field mushroom, tomato, avocado, baby spinach and sourdough toast.
Eggs Florentine
Two poached eggs on a toasted muffin with homemade Hollandaise sauce and spinach
Cote also offer a Champagne Brunch, it’s a set price menu (currently £16.95 in the York branch) where you choose any cooked breakfast with a juice or hot drink of your choice, and a glass of Baron de Marck Champagne. I think this is cracking value as a full English and a coffee will set you back around £13 anyway, making a glass of Champagne just £4. Alternatively, for £19.95 you can choose a light main instead.
I visited with my (almost) teenage daughter, and as I was driving, there wasn’t an opportunity for the Champers, which is always a shame! I ordered the Croque Madame, the classic ham and Comté cheese sandwich with a fried egg. I enjoyed it, it was a nice light but filling dish.
My daughter ordered the Salmon and Eggs (Smoked Salmon & Scrambled Eggs. Seven & Wye smoked salmon with scrambled eggs and sourdough toast). It was a large portion and she reported that it was very tasty. My only criticism is that I felt the presentation was somewhat lacking.
Cote has stylish surroundings and an elegant, relaxed vibe. I think a Champagne Brunch would be the perfect start to a weekend!
