Côte Brasserie Taste & Review Event – Bournemouth

2,857 total views, 1 views today

When I received the email asking if I would like to go to a taste and review event at the new Côte Brasserie In Bournemouth, I felt immediately excited being a HUGE foodie anyway, & I love trying new places. I have never eaten at any of the Côte restaurants before so was looking forward to trying some delicious food and mingling with other bloggers. 

Bournemouth has quite a few restaurant options especially with the new BH2 complex, however having Côte Brasserie I think is a wonderful addition with their beautiful french cuisine. 

I arrived and was quickly showed to our table upstairs where the table was all set with a glass of bubbly each and some amazing looking nibbles. The presentation was absolutely beautiful, and we also got given some calamari and a plate of Tuna Carpaccio – sliced, lightly seared raw yellow fin tuna, which was absolutely divine.

Once everyone had arrived we were introduced to their chef, who told us a little bit about the restaurant and the menu, as well as mentioning their menus cater for vegetarians and gluten free. I didn’t know what to choose to eat, as the whole menu sounded delicious. I decided on calamari to start – being one of my favourites, and it certainly didn’t disappoint, and again the presentation throughout the meal was beautifully done.

 For main I couldn’t decide between steak or the roast duck breast – I am definitely one that gets food envy so when a lot of the girls decided on the steak I was very close to getting the same, however I decided to try something different and ordered the duck breast & gratin potato with a Griottine cherry sauce. I cannot rave about this enough, the duck was cooked to perfection. Definitely a dish I will be ordering again.   

Even though I was full to the brim, I couldn’t say no to a dessert (Its a different stomach anyway right!?) I was immediately drawn to the Tarte au Citron. I swapped the creme fraiche with some vanilla ice cream, and it was amazing. A perfect end to a wonderful evening.

The restaurant itself looked beautiful and elegant set over 2 floors with its own outdoor balcony where you can sit and have a drink whilst watching the sun go down, as well as fantastic menu which I could have eaten everything off it. I cannot wait to bring my friends and family and enjoy an evening here, I also spied a fantastic looking breakfast menu. I can’t recommend Côte Brasserie more and hope to visit again very soon.
