Côté Mer

UPDATE: Cote Mer has since closed.

I went to Coté Mer, Island Harbour. The set up is magical, the beach, the view, the location itself, the bar, the staff, but most of all, the food is just so incredible.

Thomas Chiarelli, a French chef, is in charge of the menu, and let's just say we can feel his experience from cooking all over the world. Every single item on the menu is worth trying. You can just stay there for as long as you want, feet in the sand, glass of wine in hands.

This place is wonderful, magical, and so far, the best I've known from Anguilla restaurants.

Nori's reply: Marie, Coté Mer is in my top 3 Anguilla restaurant list. My Mom and Dad are regulars! Each meal we have with Stephan and Thomas is better than the last.

Thomas' cooking is exquisite. He has worked all over the world. Thomas and Stephan (originally from France) moved to Anguilla from Moscow, Russia where they were running a five star restaurant. Now that is a change in climate!

Together they make quite a pair, Stephan being the perfect host and Thomas providing the most divine dining. Together they create an irresistible experience. I'm counting down the days until our next dinner with them in Island Harbour.

See you there, at Coté Mer!
