Coast eloquently crosses the bridge between Asian and European foods, taking you through a historical journey from old Turkish dishes based on recipes from the 17th Century and bringing you bang up to date with new Pan Asian and Mediterranean dishes.

Dining at Coast is as much a celebration of different cultures, history and geography as it is a unique and quintessential dining experience.

The simple but stylish presentation of all our dishes compliments the purity of the ingredients we use. Home grown and organic foods are favoured wherever possible and we choose local producers for most of our source ingredients. Fish and seafood is ordered daily as required. To ensure authenticity in our dishes, Coast imports some of the more exotic ingredients from their principal countries. Turkish food uses many pulses and vegetables as staple and this is reflected in the many tasty vegetarian options on the menu.
