About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Great for outdoor dining
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.

                                                Delicious meal and kind and efficient server. Steak frites were great and my friend loved her duck confit. Chocolate cake for dessert was the best!

                                                The food is delicious and the atmosphere is great but the service could be better. We had a reservation and are new to Côte Ouest so we went to check in and were rudely asked to go back outside and wait. It would be nice to have a sign or stand that says wait to be seated so people are aware and don’t get in the way. I would only go back for the food. Wish service was better and overheard others saying the same thing.
