A charming, quaint bistro that offers a delicious food menu at reasonable prices - why wouldn't you treat yourself to Breakfast, Brunch or Sunday Lunch at Côte Chislehurst?

This charming French inspired bistro is located along the winding High Street of the city centre and is open from breakfast right through until dinner, catering for a Bruncher's every need.

Their Breakfast menu is an extensive mix ranging from light options such as a simple croissant or fruit salad to cooked breakfast classics such as Eggs Benedict and continental twists such as Crepe Complète with shaved Gruyere cheese. Côte follow the mantra that breakfast is better when boozy and you can upgrade to add a mimosa and Bloody Mary

Their French Sunday lunch menu is an equally eclectic affair, created with a unique twist exclusively for two to share. Choose from corn-fed marinated chicken or sirlion steak (16oz), served with Comté & thyme ‘Yorkshire puddings’, crispy confit potatoes, gratin Provençal, tenderstem broccoli, lemon & herb aioli and peppercorn sauce.

Located just moments away, Chislehurst Caves bring a sense of mystery to the area. These historic chalk-carved tunnels—once used for mining and later as air raid shelters during World War II—offer a captivating window into the local past. Guests dining at Côte can conveniently explore the caves’ winding passages and rich history before or after their meal, making for a memorable outing that blends natural charm with historical discovery.

They do have a tendency to get busy so book your Breakfast, Brunch and Sunday Lunch experience at Côte Chislehurst now.

    My wife and I booked a table at Cote Chislehurst for New Year’s Eve, expecting a festive and enjoyable evening. Unfortunately, our experience was far from it. We were seated promptly around 7:15 PM and served drinks, but things quickly went downhill. Over an hour later, we were still waiting for our food. After voicing our concerns to the manageress, she apologized and offered us a bottle of wine as compensation, assuring us the food would arrive soon. However, another 45 minutes passed with no sign of either the food or the promised wine. By then, our patience had worn thin, and we made the decision to leave and find somewhere else to salvage our evening. The service was abysmal, and the lack of communication or follow-through from the staff made the experience even worse. We left Cote disappointed and frustrated. Needless to say, we won’t be returning. Rating: 1/5

    Probably Mothering Sunday is not the best day to judge a restaurant, but that was the day we chose. We were seated quickly and waited upon almost at once. Unfortunately, when we came to make our food choices, we were then given a long list of items which had run out. Even then, having ordered, I had to change my starter again as that had now run out. The food (from the limited selection) was well cooked and presented and reasonably quickly provided. However, we had to issue a reminder for one starter and it took several requests before the tap water arrived. The staff (with one exception) were friendly and attentive after what had obviously been a busy day. I know we were among the last guests (we couldn’t come any earlier because it was fully booked) but numbers had been known in advance and to run out of three of the four fixed price menu starters (and about half of the full menu’s) was evidence of poor planning or an over-zealous effort to cut costs. The range of main dishes was also badly affected. Happily the wine was very drinkable. I would like to have given four stars but being seated next to the draughty door (up the many steep stairs) to the toilet did not add to our comfort and the menu chaos was a severe damper on our expectations.

    A few years ago I visited this location and had not a great experience however the staff were very good in putting things right which encouraged me to return. I had a booking on Sunday and it was soooo lovely. We were served by Victoria and she was the sweetest person ever. So attentive and patient and also gave an amazing wine recommendation which was fab. Would 100% return. The roast was unreal and all round service was fabulous.
