The revamped layout provides extra space around tables, new decorations and a cheese counter filled with 13 French cheeses. The refurbishment of the Clifton restaurant, for an undisclosed sum, spanned several weeks.
Ashley Hamilton, operations managing director for Côte, said: “We've taken the heart of Côte and given it a makeover that not only captures the essence of French conviviality but amplifies it. Our refreshed spaces are designed to make every visit feel like a celebration, with more room, more comfort and more reasons to linger.
"We can't wait for you to experience the new Côte in Clifton Village - it's not just a reopening, it's an invitation to a reimagined journey with us. With these refurbishments, we want Côte to be a point of reference for our local communities that feels like home and celebrate life and food, just like the French do.”
With more than 80 Côte restaurants across the º£½ÇÊÓÆµ, the menu designed by Steve Allen, Gordon Ramsay’s former executive chef, has evolved to encompass timeless French classics alongside new dishes that capture the excitement of contemporary French cuisine.
Mr Allen has worked at Michelin starred restaurants, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, Petrus and opened Gordon Ramsay at Claridges which won a Michelin star within its first year.
He said: “I have been cooking French cuisine since the age of 13 our menu is a reflection of everything I love about French food. Our main focus is and always will be about the taste of our food at Cote. Simple, yet complex and delicious.”
