It’s set in an elegant, inviting space on Earl Street that oozes a certain French charm which complements the menus perfectly. In case you’re not already familiar with Côte Brasserie, it’s a family of restaurants inspired by the brasseries of Paris and specialising in all-day French dining that’s high-quality but always affordable. Visit Côte Brasserie Maidstone for breakfast, lunch or dinner to enjoy classic French flavours that are simple but brilliant. Advanced reservations here are always a good idea.

After a stroll along the River Medway or a visit to Leeds Castle, Côte Brasserie Maidstone is where to head for a relaxing French meal in elegant surrounds. In fact, whatever your occasion might be, the welcome you’ll receive at Côte Brasserie Maidstone will be warm and the environment just right. Early in the day there is everything from full French or English breakfasts to eggs Benedict, crêpe complète or simply a croissant with coffee. Then, later in the day, the Côte Maidstone lunch and early evening menu boasts quality and exceptional value with two courses for £11.50 or three courses for £13.50.

Naturally, however, it’s the main Côte menu that we’re most fond of. Start with a classic steak tartare, perhaps, moules marinières or a simple French onion soup. Each of these is perfect to warm up for your main, which could mean anything from a light tuna niçoise salad to beef bourguignon or a rump of lamb with potato, fennel and olive oil purée and a garlic jus. The fish at Côte Brasserie Maidstone is always wonderfully fresh, so we’d also suggest the roast sea bass or the Breton fish stew. Be sure to arrive on Earl Street with an advanced reservation if you want to be sure of a table.
