About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Charming
Côte Ouest Bistro is a contemporary French bistro led by partners Laurent Monchicourt & Martin Sarrailh. In April 2021, the pair transformed the former Baker Street Bistro into a modern 21st century neighborhood gem. At the heart of Laurent and Martin's partnership lies a shared dream: to create a restaurant that embraces guests like family, offering a haven where they can delight in delectable food and wine, surrounded by warm companionship.

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

Côte Ouest Bistro has been featured in Forbes magazine and The Infatuation and was named one of the "Top 100 Brunch Restaurants in the Nation 2024" by Open Table.

    Our favorite little spot for a romantic French bistro and then a show at the theater. Great for date night l! With the lovely garlic smell as you enter, the ambience is very charming. Love it!

    So delicious I went for lunch and came back for dinner. The french onion soup is delicious. The scallops were cooked to perfection. My partner's steak and fries were equally fantastic. Really charming restaurant and will be back soon.

    We are so glad that we found this spot. We had an outstanding dinner here, and we returned a few days later for an equally awesome lunch. Owned and operated by a delightful French couple, the menu, vibe and food prep screams Paris bistro. Loved it.
