I was staying in Ealing and having been disappointed that Reineta was closed I went to Côte. Reality was I did walk around Ealing to see what else was there and looking at various menus. So, in the end I ended up at Côte.
I had seen the Crab Maison dish on the menu before, so was likely to be my first choice. I did consider the Steak Tartare, which was hand-cut raw beef, cornichons, mustard dressing, toasted sourdough baguette.
However I decided to go with the Crab Maison.
This was crab, avocado, cucumber, capers, shallots, mayonnaise, toasted sourdough baguette.
I thought the dish was beautifully presented, even if the crab was a little hidden away under the salad and sliced radish.
It was nice, but I was hoping for an intense crab flavour, which I felt was missing, and what crab there was, was overpowered by the mayonnaise. It was nice with the toasted sourdough baguette, which provided a nice crunchy texture to the dish.
I did enjoy the dish, but it probably isn’t something I would order again.
