Another national restaurant chain is opening its doors at Gloucester Quays.

Côte Restaurants have confirmed they will be launching a new brasserie at Lifestyle Outlets Gloucester this month.

The Parisian-style, award-winning eatery, acclaimed by the Sunday Times, will offer relaxed all-day dining using high quality produce at great prices. Classic French dishes with a modern twist will be on offer for lunch and dinner at great prices. Côte will join a host of quality restaurants at Gloucester Quays including Carluccio's, Bill's and Portivo Lounge.

With a £1million investment, Côte's exciting new venue will provide 112 internal covers, in addition to outdoor seating on High Orchard Street for al fresco dining.

Côte Restaurants CEO, Alex Scrimgeour, said: "Our new Gloucester Quays venue places us right in the heart of the action of this thriving waterfront shopping destination.

"It represents a significant investment for us and we look forward to unveiling this sophisticated and chic French retreat for a cosy breakfast, lunch or dinner to locals, shoppers and tourists."

The announcement comes shortly after global lifestyle brand Ted Baker revealed it will open a new outlet store at Lifestyle Outlet Gloucester this year.

Jason Pullen, managing director of Lifestyle Outlets, said: "Our vibrant Leisure Quarter at Gloucester Quays continues to go from strength to strength and the arrival of Côte brings a fresh new offering to our waterfront dining experience.

"Gloucester Quays is a thriving lifestyle destination, welcoming shoppers from across the South West and beyond and, with top names like Ted Baker and Côte joining our offering, it's no surprise that we're now the county's top attraction, drawing more than six million visitors each year.

"As a shopping outlet, we're quite unique in that we offer a full lifestyle experience which includes top fashion and retail at discounted prices, fabulous dining, films, and even a fitness centre. Plus, the beauty of our historic docks location means there is even more to see and do here."

Côte Restaurants currently operate over 80 sites in the UK. Authentic menu favourites include steak frites and moules marinière alongside speciality desserts such as crème caramel and crème brûlée. Côte's comprehensive brunch menu offers a wide range from artisanal bakery goods to more hearty options with freshly ground coffees and juices.

Lifestyle Outlets has reported a record year with sales at an all-time high at its two outlets in Gloucester and Manchester. In 2016 sales increased by 14 per cent year on year and 10 new stores opened across both sites.
