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.

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!

I love this restaurant! It's a neighborhood gem. The owner and staff are friendly and attentive. The food is consistently good. The ambiance is cute and cozy and the vibe is lively but not a scene. You will find first dates, next to families, next to friends all enjoying a meal out at this wonderful spot.

I enjoyed a wonderful and relaxing brunch with a friend on Sunday during restaurant week- The special menu offered a choice of an appetizer with a choice of entree or choice of entree with choice of dessert— additionally, the items were offered on the varied regular menu. We were served fresh French bread and butter. I opted for the gruyere and bacon quiche, served with a green salad, and my friend ordered the mushroom goat cheese, chive omelette, with potatoes, swapped for a side salad— All freshly prepared to order and delicious. We enjoyed our meal seated comfortably in the window banquette. Our server was polite and attentive, refilling coffee and my tea’s pot of hot water. The price was reasonable, especially for San Francisco. We really enjoyed out brunch and are looking forward to our next visit- for lunch or dinner..

Having recently discovered Cote Ouest while searching for a mid-week lunch place, we returned for a Saturday evening dinner before the Symphony. Turned out to be part of the SF Restaurant Week. I am normally hesitant about prix fixe menus, yet there were several choices for each course. My wife and I both found our respective choices to be well-prepared and tasty pleasures. Helpful, low-key staff. Will definitely return.

The LOBSTER BISQUE and the crab roll were so delicious. Wish that a 2-course prefixe menu would always be provided for brunch.
