Côte St Katharine Docks

We sat beside the water, and looked over at the boats whilst we ate. We had vegetarian food, steaks and gluten free food and all of it was full of flavour and fresh. We would definitely come back, the staff were friendly and attentive.

I am coeliac and I normally rely on Côte as a safe place to eat - they have a gluten free menu and your food comes out clearly marked with a flag. Today however I reacted to the food that was served to me. The waitress did not appear to know what coeliac meant. She did offer me the gluten free menu, and I ordered the cheese soufflé and salmon Benedict. Within less than an hour I had a reaction (and several hours later I am still feeling the effects of it). Really disappointing and I hope all staff are trained on what coeliac means and how to avoid cross contamination.

The restaurant is located near the entrance to St Katherine Docks. The restaurant has a modern decor and clean appearance. It has outdoor seating with cover. Your outdoor experience can differ if other guests smoke near your table. The service is fine though the welcome was a little low-key on this occasion. The food was a mixed bag with the chicken, mushroom sauce and fries being the highlight. The steak had no seasoning and the pork belly was too oily without the proper crunch. The sunshine juice was good. There are gluten and dairy-free options except for the usual sorbet. The prices were standard for London. Overall, it was an average experience.
