Cote Kingston
A French brasserie on Riverside Walk serving classic Gallic brunch with panoramic Thames views.
Why we love it
Reliable French cooking in a prime riverside location — the Croque Madame and outdoor seating make it a Kingston brunch favourite.
If you want French brunch with a river view, Cote's Riverside Walk location is your spot — boats drifting past, coffee in hand, croissants on the table. The menu sticks to Parisian brasserie classics done well rather than reinvented. The Croque Madame arrives golden and properly oozy, the French toast is substantial enough for a lazy weekend, and the coffee comes in proper cups, not paper. The outdoor terrace fills up fast on sunny mornings — this is one of Kingston's prime people-watching spots. Service is efficient without rushing you out, and the prix fixe brunch menu offers decent value for the location. Solid, reliable, and exactly what you'd expect from Cote.
