It’s officially LIVE! A few weeks ago, we got to do a fun shoot with our friends from Korean Englishman where we showcased our COTE Classics and a few special surprises that our chefs have been doing r&d for, for a while now - but more on this later 😉 Josh, Ollie, Luke, and the entire team - it was the absolute best time showing you all what COTE is all about! We’ve shared so many smiles, laughs, and stories and couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity to connect. Thank you for coming in and representing our restaurant so beautifully to your audience (and for being our impromptu taste testers).  Reunion in London? (Kidding…unless…)

The duo we didn’t know we needed! We loved hosting the super talented @hoooooyeony for a COTE Feast cooked table-side by our very own Executive Chef @chefdavidshim in celebration of Hoyeon’s stunning cover of @elleusa ’s August issue. Hoyeon, we can’t wait to have you back at COTE soon – consider us your home away from home, any time! 언제든지 또 오세요!

Not all salt is created equal. At COTE, salt is mastered. A signature blend of three distinct salts: Maldon, French grey sea salt, and 1,000+ day aged Korean sea salt. Layered thoughtfully, balanced precisely, and finished the COTE way, because even the smallest detail deserves attention.

The Porterhouse — two distinct textures, one cut. 🥩 Dry-aged in-house for 45+ days, this cut marries time with two classic steaks. On one side: New York strip — deeply beefy, with a firm bite and concentrated, almost nutty flavor from the aging. On the other: filet mignon — softer, finer grain, with a buttery tenderness. The dry-aging process pulls out moisture and intensifies everything that’s left — giving you a darker crust, and more pronounced umami. The porterhouse traces back to 19th century New York “porter houses” — early taverns where porter beer was served alongside hearty cuts of beef. One telling of its origin: a late-night guest arrived after the kitchen had closed, and the owner carved a steak directly from the short loin to serve him. The porterhouse was born. From our Reserve Cuts menu — a daily selection of limited dry-aged steaks, pulled directly from our aging room. Available in limited quantities; Inquire with your server!
