The best restaurants serving French food in St Peters St Albans East of England

Just had a lovely business lunch at Cote St Albans. The restaurant has had a complete make over and reminds me of a typical French brasserie which is very welcome. We were served by a very professional, friendly and knowledgeable waiter called Nikhil. They were offering a good weekday offer on steaks, if you ordered two steaks you received a complimentary bottle of house wine! We ordered the cote de bœuf for two which was cooked medium rare to perfection, was full of flavour and very tender, it came with two sides of your choice and truffled Hollandaise, we upgraded our wine and had a very pleasant bottle of Merlot from the Languedoc region and they discounted the house wine from the bill total. The only very small complaint was that we had two bloody Mary’s, while they were very tasty unfortunately they did not have any Worcestershire sauce which was disappointing, however the manageress dealt with the matter brilliantly, not only did she take the cocktails off the bill but she also sent an email to head office asking if they could supply Worcestershire sauce to the branch. I seriously was not expecting her to do that and it was a very pleasant surprise. We will definitely be returning and I can only highly recommend the restaurant!

Fantastic eaterie. Very warm, friendly service. Very knowledgeable about Gluten intolerance and lactose intolerance/vegan options. That made choosing the food and what to drink so much easier. Thoroughly recommend for something a touch different.
