For a truly refined and intimate experience, we recommend individually plated meals that showcase Côte’s dedication to French culinary traditions. Each dish is elegantly presented and designed to highlight the best of New Zealand’s seasonal produce, offering a perfect balance of flavours, textures, and visual appeal.
