Côte Introduces Fish & Chips for the First Time
In a first for the restaurant chain, Côte Brasserie has added its own French-inspired take on Britain’s favourite comfort food.
The new Plaice Frites combines panko-crusted plaice with crushed petit pois, house-made tartare sauce and unlimited Côte frites, blending British tradition with French brasserie cooking.
It’s a notable departure for the brand while still staying true to its French culinary roots.

Every dish contains fewer than 800 calories, with options including:

- Creamy Tomato Mafalde
- Fresh salads
- Baguettes
- Build-your-own Caesar Salad
The additions provide more flexible choices for lunchtime visitors and those looking for lighter meals throughout the week.
Steve Allen: “Guests Missed Some of Their Favourite Dishes”
Executive Chef Steve Allen says guest feedback played a major role in shaping the new menu.
He explained that while previous menu changes introduced several successful new dishes, many diners made it clear they wanted some much-loved classics to return.
The refreshed menu combines those returning favourites with new recipes inspired by regional French cooking traditions, creating what Côte describes as its most comprehensive menu yet.
