Cote, the French brasserie chain, has confirmed it will open a 2,707sq ft restaurant on Liverpool ONE’s Paradise Street in early December.
The new site, which will be the group’s first restaurant in the city, and only its second in the North West, is split over two levels with an outside terrace.
Harald Samuelsson, joint managing director of Cote, said: “Liverpool has a thriving restaurant scene, driven to a great extent by the success of Liverpool ONE. These factors combined made our decision to debut in the city an easy one. We are in a fantastic and well-established location, and look forward to bringing great value, high quality all day French dining to Liverpool.”
Miles Dunnett, head of asset management, Grosvenor Liverpool Fund, said: “Over the last 18 months, we have focused on attracting premium dining brands to Liverpool ONE to create a concentration of restaurants on Paradise Place, adjacent to John Lewis, to complement the existing offer on The Terrace. Cote finalises the mix, joining Byron, Browns and Jamie’s Italian in establishing a new premium dining destination in the city.”
Cote brings to ten the number of catering brands to have joined Liverpool ONE since January 2013. The brands, which range from grab-and-go operators to premium casual dining, total almost 40,000 sq ft. The new additions also include a number of North West and Liverpool firsts, such as Bill’s Restaurant, Byron,TGI Friday’s, Tortilla and Hotel Chocolat’s Cocoa Bar Café.
The news also coincides with a very strong catering performance for Liverpool ONE overall, with sector sales up 12% year-to-date compared to the same period in 2013.
