Restaurant Côte Plage

Description:

• This restaurant's stylish maritime-theme interior, beachfront location, and exquisite menu is a winning combination that deserves more clients than it usually entertains. Formerly also a tapas bar, the restaurant now solely focuses on its fine cuisine. Chef Menad Berkani's delicious dishes include goat-cheese croustillant with walnuts and crystallized vegetables, swordfish carpaccio marinated in aged Parmesan and lime juice, and wolfish cooked in aniseed butter with a fine ratatouille. Vegetarians unfortunately have to make do with a basil, tomato, and Parmesan penne pasta, or a platter of cheeses, salad, and argan oil. There's a three-course menu du jour, as well as a kids menu with a hamburger or fried fish, french fries or rice, and ice cream. Diners can choose from the air-conditioned interior with contemporary European tables or an outside area with large blue umbrellas, wood furniture with white-vinyl cushions, and glass wind breakers.
