    I'm a big fan of the Cote experience, especially their price fixe menus which are exceptional value and are regularly refreshed so you can't get bored. St Katherine's Dock is a favourite venue with an outside table looking across the marina. For starter I had the recently introduced toasted brioche rarebit, comte cheese topped with a wonderfully runny poached egg - fantastic - followed by the upgraded 8oz sirloin steak and frites, cooked to perfection, washed down with a great value bottle of Muscadet. Very minor criticism - the blueberry financier was flat and overbaked but still tasty. Cote continues to deliver great taste and value in good locations with wonderful staff.

    We enjoyed our prix fixe meal at Monday lunchtime. The staff were very attentive and the food was good. Only slight disappointment was the so-called salad, which was actually a small garnish. However, it didn't spoil our experience. We would go again.
