A NEW restaurant is to open on Cirencester, filling a space that has been empty for years.

Côte, which has restaurants across the country, has taken over the premises at 4-6 Black Jack Street and plans to open in early 2016 after a full refurbish. The company has applied for a premises licence to supply alcohol between 10am and midnight, playing recorded music between 8am and midnight and for opening hours between 8am and 12:30pm.

The space used to be used by Hares Antiques who have now moved to The Old Bear Inn, Perrotts Brook, Cirencester.

The restaurant will serve French cuisine with main meals from £10 and an extensive wine list.
