Tucked away in the heart of Newbury at 102-103 Northbrook Street, Côte Newbury delivers a slice of French bistro culture that feels like a gentle escape to Paris without the need for a passport. Whether you're strolling in for a leisurely breakfast, a solo lunch, or a cozy dinner with wine in hand, this spot has carved out a name for itself as a go-to for food lovers looking for quality, consistency, and charm.
One of the standout things about Côte Newbury is its atmosphere. There’s a touch of sophistication to the place, but it never feels pretentious. You’re greeted with an elegant interior, soft lighting, and a spacious layout that includes wheelchair-accessible seating, a thoughtful touch that makes the restaurant inviting for everyone. For those who prefer a breeze with their bites, outdoor seating adds an extra flair, especially when paired with a crisp glass of Chardonnay.
Now, let’s talk about the menu - where Côte Newbury truly shines. From traditional French classics to modern delights, it’s packed with well-executed dishes that balance indulgence with freshness. Start your day with a Côte Breakfast or the French Toast Stack layered with fruit and syrup - both popular picks among regulars. If you lean towards savory, the Full English Breakfast served on toasted sourdough baguette is hearty and satisfying.
For lunch or dinner, there’s a clear crowd favorite: the Sirloin Steak with Peppercorn Sauce. It’s the kind of dish that never disappoints - juicy, tender, and elevated by a sauce that’s rich but not overpowering. Pair it with Moules Frites or the elegant Salmon Ratatouille if you're craving something on the lighter side. Another hit? The Confit Pork Belly, which offers that melt-in-the-mouth texture and crisp crackling that’s so hard to find done right.
If you’re leaning toward something classically comforting, the Beef Bourguignon or Filet Mignon delivers warmth and depth with every forkful. And for those who appreciate a good share board, the Charcuterie Board is ideal for grazing over cocktails or wine with friends. Speaking of which, Côte Newbury doesn’t slack in the drink department. Their great wine list and cocktail selection ensure that you’ve always got the perfect pairing, whether you’re in the mood for a robust red or something with a splash of citrus.
When it comes to sweet endings, the desserts deserve their own spotlight. The Crème Caramel is a silky classic that hits all the right nostalgic notes, while the Tarte Aux Pommes adds a crisp, fruity contrast that’s beautifully balanced with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Those looking for something a bit lighter often opt for the Flan or Hot Chocolate, which, by the way, is rich and velvety enough to count as a dessert on its own.
Côte Newbury also caters to a wide range of dietary preferences. Whether you're vegan, vegetarian, or hunting for healthy options, the menu is well-marked and inclusive. You’ll find organic ingredients scattered throughout, and even a quick bite can feel like a moment of indulgence here.
Service is relaxed yet attentive, the kind that makes solo diners feel welcome and returning guests feel remembered. And while Côte doesn’t offer delivery or takeaway, that decision seems intentional-it’s a place that encourages guests to dine in, linger, and truly enjoy the experience.
Tea drinkers and coffee lovers alike will appreciate their great tea selection and expertly brewed coffee, especially during those mid-afternoon breaks when you need a warm cup and a quiet moment.
Overall, Côte Newbury strikes a lovely balance between everyday comfort and special-occasion charm. It’s a rare gem where the setting, service, and menu all work together to deliver an effortlessly enjoyable experience-from breakfast to dinner, and everything in between.
