Whether you’re planning your dream wedding, an elegant soirée, or a corporate gathering, Côte’s seated menus offer a sophisticated dining experience that will elevate any occasion. Inspired by French cuisine, we offer the option of shared plates or individually plated meals - each tailored to suit the unique tone and setting of your event.
Below are a selection of crafted menus offering a taste of what we do - not the full story. At Côte, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Every event is different, and your menu should be too. We work closely with our clients to design bespoke offerings that reflect the season, the setting, and the style of the occasion. Whether you start with one of our suggested menus or build something entirely your own, we’ll craft a dining experience that feels effortless, considered and entirely yours.
MAIN AFFAIR.
SHARED PLATES
OR BUFFET STYLE.
Our shared plates or buffet service offers a relaxed yet equally sophisticated dining experience. Guests can help themselves or share plates, creating a communal atmosphere while still enjoying the exquisite flavours and premium ingredients that Côte is known for. Whether you’re hosting a wedding, a corporate function, or a more casual event, our shared menu options bring flexibility and style to the table.
INDIVIDUALLY
PLATED MEALS.
For a truly refined and intimate experience, we recommend individually plated meals that showcase Côte’s dedication to French culinary traditions. Each dish is elegantly presented and designed to highlight the best of New Zealand’s seasonal produce, offering a perfect balance of flavours, textures, and visual appeal. This style of service not only ensures each guest receives a thoughtfully prepared dish but also elevates the overall experience, creating a memorable and luxurious dining occasion.
