Bistro Cote in City of London, Westminster

This was our annual family visit to London with 10 of us this year! We were not disappointed with the attentive service and as always the menu offers lots of choice for all of us. See you next year!!

We are used to Cote in Paris and Geneva but London was a disappointment from start to finish. We asked the Manager for a table. He checked in both rooms and gave us a table in the middle of the main room just under the Aircon. When we asked if there is another table available he gave us an empty table in the second room which was already free when we entered. Why not from the beginning? We ordered a meal which was on the menu outside. The manager, already pissed and unfriendly explained this dish is only available during lunch, should be specified. 4 pieces of Bread and Butter was charged 4.5 pounds! Never ever paid for bread in a restaurant. The steak was thin and hard like a shoe sole. Service was very poor. I still had my last bite in the mouth when they took the plates and asked if we wished a dessert. To charge a service fee for this is unacceptable. When we asked to pay, their machine didn’t work properly. The manager showed up and asked if WE have a problem with the payment. Fun. The problem of this location is clearly identified. Will only go again when solved.

We booked for dinner and explained that 2 of our party were in wheelchairs and we were assured that the restaurant was fully accessible including the toilets. Unfortunately, this was not the case as there are two steps from the dining area to the "accessible" toilet, which meant they could not be used by wheelchair users.

Cannot fault this place. They accommodated 17 of us for my daughter’s hen party. They were happy to take our booking when other restaurants in the Theatre district wouldn’t. Prices are very reasonable and the food is excellent. Very friendly and efficient staff, we would definitely return if visiting London again

Usually enjoyed dining at Cote but sadly our experience at this location was extremely disappointing. Service felt rushed from the outset, the waitress never advised of any specials etc nor the fact that the Bon Prix menu was still available as we were dining before 5pm. The waitress did follow up on food allergy which had been highlighted in my booking and did go through the allergen check list with me albeit hurriedly. The starters arrived very quickly, I was a bit disappointed with the cheese soufflé which was lacking in flavour and not to the usual standard that I’ve enjoyed previously. The mains also came relatively quickly however my husband’s confit duck was lukewarm and the accompanying cabbage/ sauce stone cold. We informed the waitress, initially no apology was forthcoming, she took it away but didn’t return for some time during which I ate my meal. A replacement arrived, but I was left sat looking at my empty plate whilst my husband ate his meal. Finally the waitress came and asked if the meal was hot etc, at which point we made it very clear we were unhappy with the service etc. and she went away without saying anything at all - or removing my empty plate! The manager then decided to come and speak with us, to as he said ‘ do what I can to make sure we were happy’ but to be honest this was very much a case of ‘ too late now ‘ in our opinion and when the waitress then returned to apologise and offer complimentary drinks, desserts etc we politely declined and asked for the bill. We never saw or spoke to the manager again, the bill excluded my husband’s meal but included the service charge which we asked her to remove. Overall a disappointing experience , we definitely won’t return to this particular restaurant ( have eaten there before and not been very impressed) the final thing that put us off was seeing the state of the toilets before we left ( not very clean) and being able to see into the adjacent kitchen ( again rather off putting )

Even when very busy the service here is friendly and attentive. Good selection of food with a French slant. Moderate wine selection. Situated nicely for theatres in the West End.

Hum....! Nice staff but food not really tasty... too much cream may be???Salmon with cream?!! Just lemon would have be great !! Sea bass ??? Definitely too greasy!! I could not taste fish .. cream overpowering I am very difficult to please with food I know but I love to smell and taste real food so I am sorry to say it was just “ brasserie food” and I thought I was in a restaurant... my mistake may be !!!

I booked a table a week in advance, booked easy online. When we arrived at the restaurant it was clear we needed to book as it was packed. Although service was at time’s a bit slow, our waiter was friendly. Our meals were tasty. I especially enjoyed the crab mayonnaise which was delicious. My ribeye steak was cooked to my taste. I would return and recommend the restaurant.

Covent Garden on a Saturday is always busy...Cote was buzzing but the staff had it all under control Fabulous food, excellent staff and service....will definately come back

This was a great surprise as we had not planned to eat out. However this was a little gem. The staff were first class and the food was to die for. I could not fault this restaurant at all.

We enjoyed a pre-theatre lunch which was good quality and good value. Such a restaurant is highly formulaic and standardised as expected from a chain but in its consistency lies its strength. Patrons should expect a reliable experience which provides satisfaction without anything being outstanding . Very busy place as one might anticipate for popular touristic locstion.

Late lunch prior to the theatre... very busy restaurant no free tables as far as we could see... service,food, ambience first class.... couldn’t, be faulted... despite the efforts of a diner on another table who had to make his point known to everyone...well done to all the team. Our meal was excellent

Everything was very good except a small mix-up with the order. Corrected and apologies given and removed from bill without any prompting or query.

After a matinee theatre trip wanted a meal before catching train back home. Usually very satisfied with Cote Brasseries but this was a bit disappointing. They fitted us in as we hadn’t booked but said we had to finish the meal in 40 minutes! The tables were crowded together so we could easily hear conversation on next table,one of the items we chose was unavailable and portions were extremely small. I appreciate we went for the two courses for£16.95 menu but even so the plates were minimal,a piece of bread with the warm beetroot salad would have been good..Beware of a12.5% service charge added to bill( this is optional).

Starter was Mussels. Found a rock(The size of a mussel) in my dish and virtually no sauce.Main was Pork loin ( size of a post-it cut into 3) the vegetable bed was nice though.Had a side of Tomato salad which was just a tomato sliced and 2 leaves of basil torn in half and thrown on.It is clear that there is no chef in these establishments and rather it arrives from central warehouse and is just heated through and the staff (all very attentive and welcoming - a huge plus) actually have no understanding of the foods they are delivering. Mussels should have enough sauce to dunk into. Tomato salad has onions (or shallots) , salt , pepper , herbs. Lazy lazy lazy.

Having eaten here on a previous occasion when we were short on time, we were interested in repeating the experience and we weren’t disappointed. The restaurant was full on a Tuesday night at about 7.30 and we hadn’t booked a table but we were lucky and our table was in a quiet corner. Our meals were thoroughly enjoyable (cassoulet and fish stew) and we felt it was good value for money. We settled on sharing a dessert and washed it all down with a bottle of wine. A very pleasant evening.

In spite of it being a very busy evening, they managed to find a nice table for 3-of us. The food was excellent, the wine was delicious and the staff service was impeccable in spite of it being very full. We will definitely be back, thank you for making it a nice evening and an excellent end to a great day for us.

We love it here! We have again visited with friends - there were 8 of us this time. We had pre booked our meals as we had chosen the Christmas menu and we were a big group. So the service was even better. The staff are very happy in their work and are very friendly. The food was superb- many of us had the chicken and it was in such a lovely sauce. We had taken advantage of an offer when the booking table of free bubbly. So such a lovely evening. Thank you again.

Muito bom! A sopa de cebola é maravilhosamente francesa....... o porco tambem estava maravilhoso. Vale muito a pena.

Lovely food and fantastic service. Very reasonably priced for central London. Very Close to aldwych and novella theatres. Few mins from covent garden. Booking essential

I have eaten here twice. Unfortunately. Both times as a guest with no input on venue. Steak tartare starter had a worryingly odd taste - the meat rather than the condiments. Cassoulet was unforgivably awful - how is it possible to have tasteless bird meat in something like cassoulet? The beans were dry, old specimens. Clearly a dish that had been left on the boil. Steak frites? The frites were passable. Maybe it is going downhill. I always heard good things about Côte - but due to the fact I had two such abysmal experience here a couple of months apart, I felt something had to be said.

Fist time I have been here and the food was amazing. The staff were fabulous and very accommodating. They do the best Martini Expressos. Give it a visit

Visited for breakfast early on a Sunday morning. Everything appeared to be freshly cooked, service was good and the breakfast offer for juice, hot drink and full breakfast at £10.95 was good value. Very close to Covent Garden and the Opera House.

Popped in for a lunch. Ordered the mushroom risotto and the mushroom crepes from the light bite section of the menu. Hubby wasn’t impressed with the risotto as he said it was too stodgy and dry. Looked like it had been precooked and rewarmed in the microwave. My crepes were delicious and blisteringly hot.The staff were pleasant and polite but didn’t seem genuinely friendly and were on autopilot. However my main gripe was the behaviour of the staff. We were never asked how our meal was, never offered further drinks and after we refused a dessert menu we weren’t asked if we would like the bill. We then sat there for ages trying to catch someone’s attention for the bill. Having given up we went and loitered by the till and were pointedly ignored. We stood there for a bit watching every diner being thanked profusely for their custom and with a ‘see you again’ as they exited. One staff member finally made as if he was going to seat us when I stopped him and told him I just wanted to pay. He caught the server that had been allocated to us. He promptly took our payment and left the card and receipt on the metal tray with a ‘there’s your card and receipt’ before dashing off to server a bigger and obviously more affluent/bigger party. No ‘thank you’ or ‘see you again’ for us. Wish I’d never tipped him but there you go. I normally tip as I know servers get horrendously busy and don’t get paid much - wish I hadn’t now.

Considering the location and the competition this is an amazing restaurant, chain restaurants like this one do differ from site to site despite having similar menus and for me this is the best one I have eat at. Food is standard bistro fare but great fresh ingredients , well cooked means you ain't going to go far wrong. Went for a family reunion and had a great relaxed afternoon , service efficient , friendly and professional. Had two bottles of wine and so no complaints on a price tag of £35 a head . If i was going to have a moan charging £2.45 extra for some bread was ridiculous ( nearly all restaurants i go to offer that for free ) but in the grand scheme of things a really good eating location in the centre of town and i have eat a lot worst food at Bistros in France !

I was not gonna give 5 stars, but then I thought about....The service was outstanding, the bald guy was just too professional and so friendly and nice. Food was perfect, really good quality and the place is verye cute so I strongly recommend it.It was maybe a bit overpriced like 50 Euros each, but we had like 2 bottles of wine so Its okay.The only reason I might not give 5 ouf og 5 is because the lady that was at the entrance said that we had to hurry because they had the table booked after us... really clumsy

We were looking for a great restaurant after the theater, and our concierge recommended this among three choices. It fit the bill. It was very busy, so recommend reservations. It had a larger selection of food items then we had expected. The staff were friendly and helpful. The place looked great, and food was really good. For the price, we thought we had a steal. This place has on of the best values that we have come across any where.

mia figlia a preso una colazione inglese ed io una meravigliosa zuppa di pesce, mio marito il pollo. Tutto molto buono e ben servito, personale cordiale e buon rapporto qualità prezxo

Nice location, very efficient service, good for a quick lunch or breakfast food is good ambiance is cool

Lovely restraint with beautifully cooked food. Something for everyone. Relaxed atmosphere. Superb staff. Perfect for any occasion.

we were greated right away by great waiter used our Saga voucher for free bottle of wine extra bonus ! Great food great pre theatre menue .Great experience !

It is so nice and refreshing to go to a restaurant and have a pleasant experience from start to finish. The breakfast tasted amazing and it was hot, and the service was brilliant. We had a lovely waitress who was so friendly, we didn't have to ask for a thing as the thinking was already done for us. Highly recommend.

We had breakfast here during our trip toLondon. The menu was very appetising and good value. The food was delicious, beautifully served and my husbands eggs benedict was really well cooked. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. Nice environment were the food was served promptly but you could have sat as long as you wanted with your tea too. We will definitely go back again.

Visited the one just Kensington high street. Very friendly staff and efficient service. The food was really tasty and all fresh and homemade. Fantastic value would definitely visit again

I’ve always thought Cote meaning ‘side’ in French is an unduly modest name for a restaurant chain which, since its inception in 2007, has become a central feature of so many High Streets up and down the country. Whereas Cafe Rouge is a mere pastiche of a French cafe by comparison whilst Pierre Victoire, as a nationwide phenomenon, was defeated almost as soon as it had started, Cote Brasserie as a French bistro is the real deal. It always has plenty of menus and offers to choose from. An a la carte is updated seasonally. There are two set menus one featuring plats rapides such as steak minute or a half chicken and frites representing exceptionally good value. There are monthly specials. We took advantage of an offer featuring a complimentary sidecar aperitif (Cointreau, courvoisier snd lemon juice) per order of starter and main from the a la carte. We shared a charcuterie plate generously filled with pieces of savoy ham, smoked duck breast, saucisson sec, a pot of duck rillettes and cornichons) plus gravadlax with cream and capons. For mains my wife was entirely satisfied with her poulet grille; my cassoulet from the specials list with duck wings, lardons, and sausages on a bed of beans in a tomato sauce was one of the most accomplished I’ve had anywhere including France. My daughter’s fish goujons with frites and a little pot of peas and broccoli was a good choice for her. The only downside of this Covent Garden branch was the section we were in had a low ceiling on which sound ricoched such that it was at times difficult to hear conversation.

Alguns pratos pouco cuidados de tempero e temperatura, mas rápida correção dos mesmos. Atendimento agradável.

Ideal for pre-theatre food. Excellent food and even though very busy on evening I was there, fast service.

Came here for a friends birthday and from the instant we walked in to the time we left , the customer service and attentiveness of the staff was exceptional. The food was absolutely delicious, I ordered the chargrilled chicken option with garlic butter sauce, it was perfectly put together and wasn’t greasy at all. Definitely went beyond my expectations. From the location overlooking the River Thames, the service, quality of food and affordable pricing, I can’t fault a single thing from my experience. Highly recommend a visit.

This is a lovely little place. It’s a Cote and so you know what you’re getting. When busy the set ice is a tad patchy but they are always wanting to serve it’s just they are clearly short staffed! The good was fine and the wine chilled! A bit noisy but that’s because of the acoustics and not a view.

The food here is okay . Would only ever pay set menu prices service is patchy wine selection is poor also

The French Onion Soup is perfect on a crisp fall day. The steak & frites were also very good followed by dark chocolate mousse.

Tivemos certa dificuldade de almoçar em Covent Garden. Ou os restaurantes estávam muito lotados ou a oferta de almoço não existia. O londrino não tem o costume de almoçar como nós brasileiros, a principal refeição deles é o jantar. Encontramos esse restaurante que nos atendeu muito bem.

Pasta buonissima, buone le insalate, buonissimi i dolci (gelato al cioccolato, tarte au citron, pain perdu). Lo consigliamo, tutto eccellente.

Visited here for a business dinner and the food and service was excellent. Great selection of vegetarian and vegan options

I visited Cote last night for an impromtu dinner! Arrived about 6pm and was packed. The front of house was very nice to me (restaurants tend to snub you if you are solo) and found a table in the next 10 mn. I actually gave it to the people after me as they were going to the Opera. In the next 5mn, I had another table which I ended up sharing with another solo diner. Great dinner, good company and amazing service! MERCI

This restaurant was recommended by Fodors guidebook, which we usually find reliable. Not this time. The food was mediocre. As for the service, they seem to be going for authentic Parisian; ie., slow and diffident.

Went in for the French Onion soup, as already had lunch, the place was packed and service was very good, the soup was great

Habiendo salido del Reino Unido hace 50 años y solo visitando cada año más o menos desde entonces, había perdido el contacto con la buena cocina francesa a un precio razonable. Un amigo nos puso en la cadena de restaurantes Cote hace 5 o 6 años y, desde entonces, hemos comido en establecimientos Cote varias veces y nunca nos ha decepcionado. Ocasionalmente ocurren fallas técnicas (el servicio no cumple con el estándar habitual, una de las comidas de la fiesta se retrasa, ese tipo de cosas), pero tales eventos son definitivamente la excepción y no la regla.En un viaje reciente a Londres, visitamos la Cote Brasserie en Covent Garden cuando íbamos a un espectáculo. La comida de estilo francés fue excelente, el servicio fue de primera categoría y tuvimos una comida de 3 platos sin estrés, terminando con tiempo de sobra para una bebida antes del espectáculo en el teatro.Definitivamente regresaremos, ¿tal vez nos veremos allí?

I’d booked a table online for 14 people. There had been numerous emails and I’d also spoken to the restaurant on the telephone. On arrival, the waiter seemed to know nothing about the booking. He showed us to the table and it was sometime before we saw him again. He was unfriendly, unhelpful and personally I would not have paid the service charge. I didn’t enjoy the starter, but it was a bad choice on my part. However, the main meal was different. I specifically asked for my steak to have no blood! There seemed to be a real communication problem. My steak was raw and the chips were cold! By this point I couldn’t be bothered to make a fuss. I use Cotes restaurants a lot, but quite frankly today was appalling

Having taken in a matinee in Theatreland, the five of us headed off to Cote Brasserie in Covent Garden. We are great fans of the Cote chain and this visit didn’t disappoint.Lovely, busy, vibrant atmosphere greeted us on arrival as staff guided us swiftly to our table.I had the crab starter which was superb, followed by sea food linguine which I really enjoyed.Staff were excellent and thorough. A manager thought our mains were overly long in coming out(we didn’t!) and provided us with a complimentary bottle of wine. This was a surprise but very much appreciated.We love Cote Covent Garden and of you are planning to be in the area, do book a table. Good food, lovely staff and situated right in the heart of London’s West End.

Restaurant sympathique et bien situé, serveur très sympathique, rapide et efficace, souriant. La carte est appétissante et probablement unique à Londres. Des plats de cuisine française mais servi avec le sourire. Une excellente adresse à deux pas des grandes attractions, à ne pas manquer. Nous y sommes retournés trois fois en une semaine. Bravo !

I’d give it 3 stars for slow service but I think that’s just how it it’s abroad. The food was good fair price.

After a rushed journey into London we managed to make it to Cote Brasserie in Devonshire Street, Marleybone just in time for the breakfast menu.Sophia, the temporary duty manager, greated us with a warm welcome and when informed of my birthday, promptly arrived with 2 complimentary glasses of presecco.Our meal was delivered promptly to the table by friendly staff.Great service! We loved our visit and will continue to visit this chain of restaurants.

This was our first visit to this branch of the chain. We had a family dinner here. Despite it only being a Monday, it was packed.The prestige menu is always good value at £19.95 for 3 courses. The dishes change every few months. We were all happy with our choices, which were well cooked and nicely presented.Flasks of chilled water are served without request or charge.Service was busy this evening, but the staff remained cheerful.This branch is in a good location for the theatre and Covent Garden shops.

We just wanted to find a place to eat and spend some good time in the evening and found this amazing restaurant. Came in to see a super professional hostess Camilla, she’s greeted us, apologized for having the whole place occupied and asked us to wait just for a few minutes and it didn’t take her any longer than that. Then we had an awesome lady taking care of our table, Amie, she was smiling sincerely and doing a perfect job, I wouldn’t be surprised to know that she’s the owner of the place cuz she’s so passionate and aware of everything The man who helped her, Thiago, was very friendly and awesomely professional. All I can say about this venue is... nothing. I can just APLLAUSE, best place I’ve ever been to, best service I personally ever experienced, definitely coming back for another brilliant and tasty evening. Thank you very much❤️

Six of us met up here for lunch this week (not the same six that you might read in another of my reviews from this week - I do get around).The set menus are really good value at £15.95 for three courses. House wine is £17.50 which is OK but I notice that it’s only 12.5% ABV which all house wines appear to be wherever you go. Keeps it cheap, I guess.I had the croquette of pork and smokey bacon with a poached egg and Hollandaise sauce for starter. I’d always thought of the “croquette” as cylindrical, which these were not. However, a quick check on Google just now, confirms they could be flat or even rounded like a ball. It was a very nice meal, whatever shape it was. For the main course I had steak frites. Last time I was in this restaurant, my steak was poor, but I recall that was the more expensive ribeye steak. The steak in “steak and frites” is much thinner and less likely to go wrong. This was just right with a nice pot of frites.Colleagues had the Lamb Parmentier (Shepherd’s Pie to the rest of us). It came with plenty of lamb and carrot within but was still served with a large side plate of whole, cooked carrots. Fine, if you are a carrot lover, I suppose.For dessert I had the frozen berries with warm, white chocolate sauce. It was very good.All in all, I am pretty certain that all six of us really enjoyed the meal. Service was good and our seating position was also good.Highly recommended.

Walked in with no booking and they found us a table for 4. Service was quick and friendly and the food was stunning. The meal was finished with a gorgeous coffee. Highly recommend this Brasserie, this is the second time in four years and the standard is still very high.

Cote in Teddington is such a reliable choice- good food, excellent value, attentive staff and a pleasant environment.

Great food, ambiance, value and delightful servers! I highly recommend this venue. Enjoyed the whole experience!

I haven’t eaten at this Cote for a while and I will not be returning, I will say that the waiter who served us was charming and you could not fault him and the manager dealt with us in a professional manner, and our Bollinger was served chilled!So the bread was ok a little hard it must have been sitting around for a while, didn’t mention it to staff, I had the prawn gratin which was ok a little bland to what other Cote serve, but when our mains arrived we had to complain, the half chicken was so dry you couldn’t even chew it to swallow, and the sauce with the mussels was basically white water absolutely no taste whatsoever, normally if sticks to your fries it’s like a sauce! Very very disappointing

Picture this: Breakfast. Seven tables occupied,two waitresses, three tables arrived after I’d placed my order. Coffee and Orange juice arrived. The three tables were served their breakfast orders. Waitresses standing around avoiding eye contact. Fifteen minutes after ordering I decided to leave. They seemed surprised. A terrible branch of usually decent chain.

The Cote chain soldiers on, being the shining light in the middle-market, chain restaurants that are being heavily squeezed in the UK restaurant scene.There are some pretty awful restaurants in the tourist hotspot of Covent Garden (and a few decent ones). Cote is always reliable. Broadly French in theme, style and food, they ‘deliver the goods’ in terms of a balance of quality, choice and price. They have several menu choices, including excellent set menus at £16.95 and £13.95 and a pretty decent kids menu too. The à la cart menu is also good value and I do a good trade in breakfast and brunch. The all French wine list is also notably good value that I could do with a better selection of red wines by the glass.A sizeable lunch with my son came to £50 but that included deserts and two glasses of wine for me. My steak was very good and Thomas’s fish and chips and peas very nice.Okay, you couldn’t really call it haute cuisine or gastronomic but in terms of being able to eat out in London and get reasonable quality in return for a reasonable price, Cote takes some beating. Really nice staff too. Well done.

It was our friends 50th birthday and when we arrived the staff were very friendly wished Nicky a happy birthday. Our table was decorated and we were given a birthday drink. The food was lovely as was the wine, it was a lovely evening.

We came across this place whilst walking the South Bank . We were looking for somewhere nice to eat and this place did not disappoint. We were seated outside overlooking the Thames , what a fabulous view whilst eating . The waiter was efficient and attentive with a good knowledge of the menu . The food was excellent , both starters and mains . We had Calamari and Steak tartare for starters .... they were both delicious , the Calamari was one of the best dishes I have ever tasted. We had Lamb and Vegetable ravioli for mains ...... very rich and tasty . We finished the meal with creme brûlée which was delicious . We had a bottle of red wine with the meal and a beer and finished with coffee . The meal cost us just over £100 and was worth every penny for the amazing food, service and surroundings . We will be back next time we are in London

Comida variada, com ótimas opções glúten free. Bom atendimento, garçons atenciosos, lugar agradável. Fomos aos dois Cote Brasserie, este bem melhor do que o outro quanto ao atendimento, por isso a nota.

Great setting, fabulous service and food made to order. If you appreciate custom made food, don't miss this place.

Great venue, service and excellent food. There are variety of food, vegan, soup, fish and meat, grill, steaks and a free bottle of wine (red/white/rose) if you sign up on the website.

My daughter and I were walk g from Shakespeare’s Globe to Charing Cross ?Road and December died to stop off here. Sat outside. Gazpacho! Char-grilled Chicken! A lovely waiter. This was the best meal I had during this London stay.

I use to go at Cote since couple of years ago I have no regrets for anything,I do always enjoy my time there the food is lovely the atmosphere very warm the waitstaff is terrific you never disappoint us!

Very cute french bistro on St. Martin's lane convenient to many theaters, but not what you'd call a tourist trap restaurant. Their pre-set menu has several options for 2 or 3 course dinners. They have 2 price fixed, one for 15.99 (2 course) and one for 19.99 (2 course). The steak frites was tender but needed some more seasoning, and it's a flat pounded steak, as opposed to a skirt steak or entrecote cut.

Had never been to. Cote Brasserie before and ended up at one in Soho. The sevice is professional yet engaging. The food was extremely good with full menu.If you nedd a chain that provides something a lot more specual, check these out.

Very nice place to have something for all even if that is a business meeting or family gathering or a romantic date. The food is absolutely tasty and the staff are each one unique .

My wife and I went to meet a friend whom I hadn't seen for a number of years. It was a lovely occasion, the service was attentive but not intrusive and the food was good.

If you want to taste in this place it is important to make a reservation to have a table and pleasant space. My husband and I walked around the area and decided to see if there were tables available and there was only in the basement which we did not dislike because we were already very hungry. We ordered the 3-course menu and a delicious bottle of Grand Vin Château Des Gravières Wine .The service is of excellent quality, everything arrived hot and at its point, a pleasant and noisy environment for being weekend but happy. Not daily is the same menu which makes it very attractive and visited. Congratulations to the chef and his team. I will be back soon.

We are visiting London and brought our family to this restaurant. We waited 45 minutes for our meals to arrive only to find out that The chef lost half of our ticket. It took another 40 minutes for half of our family to get their meals. The waiter ignored us and would not make eye contact while this was occurring and that made the situation even worse. It could not have been worse. We arrived at 8:00 and left at 10:45

We went here recently for breakfast, and we very impressed. The menu is extensive, and the quality of the food was excellent. My husband had the full English, and I had a Continental style breakfast. It hit the right spot perfectly.The service was friendly and prompt. Great position for mooching around Covent Garden.We will definitely be back on our next trip to London, and probably try dinner there too.

We went into the restaurant on a very wet and busy Friday night without booking in advance. The very welcoming staff explained they only had one table available but it was tight due to a large party. The table was great and in no way impacted on our experience. Both the set menu and the A la Carte looked great value for money. We decided to eat from the set menu and I have too say that without fail every taste was fantastic. It was fresh, tasty, plentiful and served with pure professionalism. It was a pleasure to watch all of the staff attend to all customers in such a high class way despite the restaurant being fully booked. A lot of restaurants could learn from staff standards in this wonderful restaurant. If we had been in London longer I’m Sure we would have returned.

We went to this bistro on the off chance we could get a table, we were welcomed and shown a table we ordered soft drinks with those they brought a carafe of water starters and main meal were faultless would most certainly go there again, it's a gem of a restaurant

Really nice place to visit. Polite service, clean bathrooom and delicious food. I can recommend IT for sure. My collegue ate sea food and said that it was fresh. Nice atmosphere. Nice music.

Abbiamo cenato in questo locale che fa parte di una catena di locali distribuita per Londra.Qualità buona e soprattutto presenza di un menù senza glutine che consente anche ai celiaci di mangiare con serenità.Le portate gluten free vengono servite con bandierina SG per distinguerle dalle rimanenti.

I took my daughter here before going to the theatre, 2 courses £12.95, the food was amazing, our waiter was lovely, really busy but considering how busy they were the service was quick, we loved it.

Really nice menu and food offering, high end chain restaurant. Good value for money. Nice location near tube station.

We always eat at Cote restaurants and again our visit was very pleasant. It was very busy with pre theatre diners, but the welcome, service and food were excellent as always. Thank you.

Wonderful service, delicious food, great drinks. Had pre theatre menu and à la carte. Would come back for sure.

Service was attentive although technology sometimes conspired against the waitress. It was a little disapointing to have two dishes "unavailable" from the lunch set menu but otherwise the food was well received by all. We were a party of 8 and one starter arrived much later than the others but all main courses and desserts were correct. The food and wine were of reasonable quality and the restaurant, whislt quite empty, had a chilled out ambiance on a humid day. Unfortuantley the wifi wasnt working, however, I'd visit again.

Complimentary kir royales were a lovely touch. Food good, and service was great. A good value for money start to our break.

We stopped here for a late brunch after a long train journey. Ordered the full English breakfast. Table was very small so we struggled to find space for things after asking for preserves. Cooked breakfast ok, preserves really nice. Good glass of juice, tea and coffee cool and pretty disappointing. Ok for £11 but service charge added which made it £26 for two people. Hate this practice of adding it making it embarrassing to opt out.

Popular restaurant near Covent Garden.Shown to a table downstairs in a nice quiet roomServed immediately by Julio a polite and friendly waiter.Our meals were well cooked and presented.The restaurant was clean and tidy in all areas including the toilets.Good value for money.I would not hesitate to recommend to friends.

Wow! What an amazing evening. First my polo club won the regional championships and then we went to COTE in haywards HEATH To celebrate. Fantastic service. We got served by a lovely young lady named Elijah I think. Made our experience so reasonable and even agreed to join in the after meal celebrations with the polo club. Good food too, I had the side salad

Took the early pre theatre dinner menu. Excellent choice of food. Good service and food hot. It’s advisable to prebook as restaurant very busy which makes it noisy. Tables very close together. Needs some TLC as on some of the walls have torn wallpaper and look scruffy.

Have eaten at in lots of Cote’s before but to be honest this isn’t the best. Staff not friendly don’t make you feel welcome to be, at times thought it was a chore. Ordered some of the things I normally enjoy. Bread garlic bread always a nice start when you think over what you want to eat. Garlic bread was great but bread and butter was stale. Starters were fine nothing to write home about. I had the pork belly for main and friend had seafood stew that was great but pork was cold. When did mention this it was as if I had started world war 3. The manager even came and informed me I had eaten some of it. I did explain it was warm on the outside but cold in the middle. The did replace it. Funny thing was when I got it back it was the same size as the pice I hadn’t eaten. The new pice of pork was very very warm maybe a little to warm. Have to say the crackling was the best I’ve had in a long time though. The pork was like burnt ends underneath but the middle was perfect. I will not be back or look to recommend anyone to go. Specially when there are so many great places to eat in the area.

Very nice simple food. Not expensive and good service. That how a restaurant should be. Will definately go back anytime that I will be around one

Walked in for lunch on a cold December day, we were very lucky to get a table. The food was excellent only down side was that we were told we had to be finished by a certain time.

Amazing service with beautiful view and nice dishes Our Hungarian waitress was very friendly and she was offering the perfect dishes for us we had amazing time there

Each of my visits was great. Food was spot on, full of flavours and good portion. Worth the price. Service nice. But it gets busy after 6ish

Ristorante francese vicino a Covent Garden, abbiamo preso la zuppa di cipolle ed il petto d’anatra. Piatti gustosi e ben preparati.

Sunday late afternoon, 5pm, we didn't book. Very nice, relaxed, pre-show dinner without feeling rushed. Staff very quick and helpful. Gin and tonic cocktail with lavender very quaffable. Starters and main excellent but the "Praline Crepe" was gorgeous, lots of praline! Bill very reasonable.

Love the Cote menu anyway I do not believe it has changed in years and why should it, great food love the Prawn gratinee starter, as always lots of staff on hand who were all friendly, and helpful, the only downside is that they used to do a warm baguette bread which they have now changed to cold sliced bread which is nice and fresh but no where near as nice.

Liked the ambiance and the meal. I ordered the chicken off the lunch menu. Service can be a little better, but overall a very good experience.

Resto sympa Assez rapide et correct sur le tarif ainsi que dans l’assiette Serveur très sympathique et au petit soins
