Delightful Dining with Exceptional Service!

Stepping into Côte at St Paul's feels like a warm embrace, an inviting haven with an elegant glimpse of French bistro charm nesting right in the heart of London. Located conveniently close to the majestic cathedral, its setting effortlessly garners praise and attention. The extensive menu is delightfully exhaustive, offering a myriad of traditional yet heartfelt dishes, such as poulet breton and moules frites, delivered swiftly with generous hospitality. Though my breakfast adventure was slightly sullied by an over-sugared French fare, the robust hunger for French classics was satisfactorily quenched with offerings that seldom missed their mark.

The service encapsulates genuine charm, marked with a certain timeless hospitality that seems increasingly rare. Servers like Nila—proclaimed by patrons as a true gem among waitstaff—and her team imbue the experience with warmth and genuine attentiveness. Regardless of a few occlusions like some menu items being prematurely unavailable or the dining room bloated with outside noise, there’s a clear persistence in striving for customer satisfaction. Particularly on fortuitous days, occasions like indulgent birthday dinners featuring free kir royales encapsulate a celebratory spirit that lures diners back time and again. Visiting Côte at St. Paul's fuels not just culinary cravings but ensures a rendezvous filled with laughter, delectable fare and robust expedience in service once more. — Nigel Gourmet
