A French-inspired fine-dining bistro inside Alliance Française, Clifton — known for steak, seafood, weekend brunch, and one of Karachi's most elegant outdoor settings.
Tucked inside Alliance Française de Karachi in Block 8, Clifton, Côte Rôtie is one of the city's most distinctive fine-dining spaces — part restaurant, part cultural venue. The setting alone does a lot of the work: rustic European styling, a cozy indoor dining room, and one of Karachi's most-loved outdoor seating areas.
While the branding leans French, the current menu is broader than classic French cuisine, blending European technique with international and locally-influenced dishes. Expect everything from Steak Frites and grilled salmon to Karachi-style shrimp tacos and mushroom risotto.
Côte Rôtie has built a strong reputation for its steak, seafood, and pasta, and is equally well known as one of Clifton's go-to spots for weekend brunch, date nights, and special occasions.

Côte Rôtie isn't trying to be a strictly traditional French restaurant, and it shouldn't be judged as one.
