FRENCH restaurant Côte Brasserie doesn't just do authentic French food, it does outstanding value for money.

Their set menu echoes the glorious Gallic tradition of offering lunchtime and early evening diners a first-class, sit-down meal for the kind of price you can afford weekly rather than monthly.

In this case, the menu is just £9.95 for two courses, or £11.90 for three courses. It's available every day from midday to 7pm. For speedy lunch hour or pre-theatre dining, we think it's superb.

Côte has built its reputation on seasonality and high quality ingredients, and their set menu encapsulates this approach. Changing every fortnight, it's where you see the real highlights of the season – the produce that's at its absolute best that week.
