Côte Brasserie has announced a fresh collaboration with the West End sensation Moulin Rouge! The Musical. The stage adaptation of Baz Luhrmann’s 2001 film, which tells the tale of an English writer – portrayed by Ewan McGregor – who journeys to Paris and falls for the Moulin Rouge’s leading lady, Satine – played by Nicole Kidman – made its debut in late 2021.
The renowned French brasserie is now inviting diners to immerse themselves in a world of romance, sophistication, and luxury with a specially designed pre-theatre dining experience, exclusively available at Côte’s central London locations – Covent Garden, Soho and St Martin’s Lane.
The limited edition menu pays homage to the charm of the French capital with four chic courses and a complimentary glass of Crémant de Bourgogne. To mark the occasion, the restaurant has also concocted a Can-Can Sour, a limited-edition cocktail inspired by the show’s signature dance routine.
Devised by Steve Allen, Côte’s Executive Chef and Gordon Ramsay’s former right-hand man, the exclusive four-course menu priced at £38.95 per person, is said to ‘channel the mood of Parisian bohemia’ through a range of French-inspired dishes.
Starters include Crab Maison with avocado and capers, golden Calamari with Provençal mayo, and rich Chicken Liver Parfait served with pink pepper butter and toasted sourdough.
For the main event, diners can indulge in options like succulent Confit Pork Belly or opt for a Sirloin Steak. Vegetarians can enjoy dishes like Tomato & Harissa Tagine and Tarte Tatin à la Provençale which are also on offer.
To round off the meal, desserts include Lemongrass & Lime Leaf Crème Brûlée with burnt peaches and raspberries, or a velvety Chocolate Mousse, a Cheese Plate, or a rich Chocolate Praline Tart.
A Côte spokesperson said: “Moulin Rouge! The Musical is pure Parisian spectacle – vibrant, glamorous, and full of heart.
“It made perfect sense to partner with such an iconic show to create a menu that celebrates the richness of French cuisine and the magic of a night out in London.
“Whether you’re heading to the theatre or just in the mood for a little sparkle, this experience captures everything we love about dining the French way.”
Moulin Rouge! The Musical is currently playing at the Piccadilly Theatre, just minutes from Côte’s Covent Garden, Soho and St Martin’s Lane locations.
