Côte Bath

You'll find yourself on one of Bath's smartest shopping streets, but Côte doesn't feel stuffy about it. There's a genuine warmth here—the kind of place where regulars have their usual table and first-timers feel immediately at ease. The menu reads like a love letter to French bistro cooking: moules frites that actually taste like something, steak frites that justify the hype, duck confit that falls apart at the fork. It's the sort of restaurant that reminds you why French food became French food in the first place.
