Côte Ouest Bistro is a contemporary French bistro led by partners Laurent Monchicourt & Martin Sarraih. In April, 2021, the pair transformed the former Baker Street Bistro into a modern 21st century neighborhood gem.

Nestle into one of our bay window seats and enjoy conversation over a plate of charcuterie with the perfect glass of Bordeaux. Chef Sarraih's prepares seasonal specialties as well as favorite French classics like Steak Frites, and Duck Confit. And the custard soaked Croissant French Toast is not to be missed if you stop by for brunch on our sunny terrace.

                                                We’re from Germany and celebrated Thanksgiving for the first time. We came across this restaurant and couldn’t have been happier. The atmosphere was wonderful, the food was amazing, and the hosts and staff were exceptionally friendly and warm. We would book here again anytime!

                                                WOW what an experience! The food & wine, ambiance, staff, restaurant seating- everything was fantastic! I would highly recommend this restaurant to any and everyone. The owner shook our hands as we left the restaurant and they were so friendly and engaging. The Duck Confit was amazing. The wines and bread, Kale salad and desserts were exceptional. Everything was spot on! Can't wait to come back again. Keep doing what you're doing Cote Ouest, don't change a thing! Cheers!

                                                Celebrated my Dad’s 80th bday here. The staff was very accommodating with wheel chair and treated us warmly and with care! The food was succulent and *chefs kiss*. Wine recommendations were on point. Can’t wait to return. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
