Set over two floors, including a large heated garden terrace, the design of the Lincoln Côte Brasserie includes several brand new elements, not previously seen at Côte such as a bar on the ground floor for dining guests to sit and have drinks before moving upstairs to eat.

Côte Restaurants CEO, Alex Scrimgeour said: “Our location places us right in the heart of the action; amongst old buildings with striking features and local markets to explore.

“We are delighted to offer further choice to this thriving town and feel confident that our combination of warm and welcoming service, simple, freshly prepared French food, and excellent value for money will be popular in Lincoln.”
