Cafe Rouge - Hays Galleria in Southwark

Delicious vegetarian options and good service and ambiance, highly recommemd

Côte is a classic safe choice when you somewhat french food that is at a reasonable price. We decided to try this branch for the view and outdoor seating. Prime view to tower bridge which felt like a luxury. No waiting times and the waiter was just so lovely, inviting and caring. My food highlight was the salad starter from the Prix Fixe menu. Delicious and so filling.

Was an excellent way to send the afternoon. Great location and food. Was a bit chilly outdoors so sat indoors. The Cheese Souffle was excellent. Now waiting for dessert.

Lovely Brunch with a View Great brunch spot! We had the English breakfast and French toast with fruit, along with some tea and espresso – everything was delicious. The food was fresh, well-prepared, and beautifully served. The staff was quick, friendly, and charming, which made the experience even better. And the view of the dock? Amazing. Perfect place to relax and enjoy a slow, tasty morning. Highly recommend!

When we couldn’t get a table without reservations your staff went out of the way to find us one even if we had to slightly wait - mind you it was a Thursday evening! Massive thanks to Miroslava who looked after us so well and Shaik who was a joy getting us sorted with our wine! Great staff great food great view and atmosphere!

As usual, the best crème caramel

A lovely place. May be a chain but views to die for. Food is always good at Cote Brasserie. Fab waitress.

Great food, ambience and general vibe. Would definitely be going again.

This is the fourth Cote I have dined at and I have enjoyed every meal.

Food was OK, we ordered the seafood pie, salad, steak and chips - it didn't blow me away but was decent. In this part of London the atmosphere was standard, lots of business people.

Great burgers and fabulous location

Top experience, good food, very good prices

Highly recommended , everything was perfect ❤️

Really nice food and extensive menu choices.

Prix Fixe lunch portions small, but maybe I'm greedy. The fish parmentier was mostly (big, juicy) prawns. Sadly the north bank is shaded from the sun by buildings. Good views, friendly staff. Cheaper than the nearby Italian I think.

It was a last minute booking for 5. Service was excellent very friendly staff not just with customers but with each other. Food arrived hot and well presented and good size portions. The deserts were amazing

Cote are Consitsntley Good. Great Weekend Set Menu & Service to Match.

Outstanding service as always!!!! Top marks for consistency!

Love their breakfast menu and I have been there 4 times already. Few things we liked are French onion soup, pan fried sea bass, tuna steak and kiwi mocktail

Visited today for my daughters birthday meal, arrived early in the afternoon and was able to be seated. All staff were lovely, I also was able to use the kids eat free offer. I would defo recommend 👌🏾

Had a hair in my food, no apology, poor service

Fantastic staff and food. We were, and not rushed off our table for some sort of cover ratio despite a busy restaurant - so wonderful experience. Thank you Côte team!

Great food and reasonable price

Nice cozy restaurant with delicious food. Great staff and they had a gluten free menu.Great view of the London bridge from outside.

Côte is my go to restaurant and I've visited many branches in London ( and left many reviews). I just had my favourite main ( belly of pork) and my favourite dessert (crème caramel). I'm pleased that they've now added warm Madelines to the crème caramel now. Although there was some issue that meant that we had to wait for a long time for our desserts, the staff weren't very apologetic and even reduced our bill. These kinds of gestures are so important to build good customer service and hence return customers. I do wish other restaurants would understand this.

Highly recommend a visit, food is excellent and great customer service.

We sat outside on an early April Sunday morning and enjoyed a lovely Cotes Garden Breakfast, looking over the Thames. Service was extremely fast and friendly and we would definitely go back on our next trip to London.

We were super comfortable with Juanma and his team, the food was very delicious and at a very good price

too cold to sit outdoor nice mussels

We always choose to return to this restaurant because of the outstanding service we consistently receive from Juanma. From the moment we walk in, he makes us feel truly welcome and taken care of. Juanma is not only professional and efficient, but also warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. He remembers our preferences, offers great recommendations, and always goes above and beyond to ensure we have a great experience. It’s rare to find such excellent and consistent service, and Juanma is a big reason why we keep coming back. Thank you for making every visit special!

Another location for the fabulous Cote restaurants in London. Excellent food and much better wine both by the glass and in the bottle then another very pricey "French"" London restaurant, Zedel

Steps who serve kindly and quickly and delicious food. You can eat while looking at the Thames River while eating. Friendly and quick serving staff and delicious food. You can enjoy your meal while looking at the Thames River.

was nice Did not leave a special impression on me

From the moment that I walked in, I felt very welcomed from the staff . The food was delicious, beautifully presented.I had the confit pork belly as a main course and the blueberry financier as a dessert which was so delicious (I love the almond cake ) I dined in the terrace outside with a beautiful view of river Thames .If you are sensitive to cold temperatures worry not as they do have nice heaters outside and blankets. Highly recommend!"

Good food Good service Good location A good spot to have lunch when exploring London

A very nice and cozy place. Everything was perfect, but the best thing was Ligner's attention. 🤗

I had the pleasure of visiting cote in the evening around 6 o’clock, and I must say, the guest service was outstanding. As soon as I arrived at the bar, I noticed one staff member seamlessly maintaining the bar, ensuring everything was in its proper place while keeping the area tidy. It was impressive to see how well he managed the bar, not just serving drinks but also keeping everything organized and running smoothly. Later, when I got a table upstairs, I was further amazed by the service. One of the staff members, Danish, stood out with his exceptional professionalism. He came upstairs carrying a large tray filled with drinks, and the way he handled multiple wine glasses with such ease and precision was truly eye-catching. His smooth transition from table to table, carefully placing each glass, was remarkable. The way he held the wine glass and placed it on the table with such elegance showed his dedication and passion for his work. It completely caught my attention and left a lasting impression. Danish also gave me a card to provide feedback, but unfortunately, I misplaced it. However, I still wanted to take the time to recognize his outstanding work. It’s clear that he performs his duties with dedication and passion, which is phenomenal and truly admirable. This level of service is a true asset to the company, and I wanted to express my gratitude for such an exceptional experience. Thank you for the wonderful service!

Very poor service - had to ask for our mains twice and staff kept forgetting us for other things like water or cutlery. Ordered a hot chocolate and it came cold, and when I asked for a replacement they just reheated the half empty pot and threw out my mug of cold chocolate, not replacing it and was still expected to pay full price! Shameful

Sort of just walked in to check out the place as we've just had brunch at Borough Market, and got a table with a great view of the River Thames and Tower Bridge, the lovely weather a bug plus. I had beer and a cheese board for one, which I loved, but my wife wasn't so happy with her Crème Caramel Classique (I should've had a taste to see why). All in all a very pleasant visit!

Venue is stunning, food absolutely amazing, staff... need some cheering up. Kind of let the whole experience down, as the location of the Venue is beautiful.

Emma our waitress was amazing, great service and very attentive despite the restaurant being very busy

Everything was great and the food was delicious. The staff very attentive and friendly.

It was wonderful returning to where we got engaged in 2012.

I hosted a larger meal at Cote to celebrate my birthday and the staff at Hays Galleria were excellent. Everyone was friendly and the service was attentive, the food was also great and the set menu was excellent value. I’d definitely recommend this place for a nice meal and look forward to dining here again. Thank you to the whole team for helping me host a great evening!

There were five of us meeting in London and this was chosen as a good meeting point; easy to find at the end of Hays Galeria. Our table was booked; just as well as it filled up quickly. We were given a nice round table and spent a couple of hours chatting and eating. The food was very nice.

Best food in London and price is reasonable considering the location. Outdoor tables are great

Went here for a date night last night and it was amazing. tried the new espresso martini and it tasted great. If you go you gotta to try the beef cheek it’s to die for.

Clean and elegant place. Good food. Kind and impeccable service.

Food good, it was just a shame that they’d run out of plates and served my food on a chopping board. Also no vinegar cruet dispenser and vinegar served on a dish.

Always had a very good experience at this restaurant. Nice menu and always good wine. One thing I don't want when eating is speed of service. Eating is an important event and here in Cote I feel that is respected.

Great food and experience in a brilliant location.

We were served unfriendly by the waitress and were given the feeling that we had to leave as soon as we had paid. Food is very expensive for very little. Definitely not recommended

Excellent meal, lovely atmosphere and exceptional service from Ebony, would highly recommend

Our waitress Georgie was great! Food was amazing and we loved the Calamari starter

Took advantage of the free kids meal offer to treat my 8 year old. Thanks for the offer it was good to have a lovely meal at great value

Lovely restaurant. We had the fixed price lunch menu which was good value. Food and service were excellent. Great bustling atmosphere.

A warm welcome, great atmosphere and food well cooked, well presented and very tasty.

Good food, but unfortunately a bit too expensive for the portions. Service was very attentive.

As usual amazing experience, the food is flavored and there is a big selection to choose from from. The duck confit is absolutely delicious as well as scallops. Good wine selection and warm atmosphere. Highly recommended for lunch with friends or family.

Good restaurant for an affordable price. Top location and friendly staff.

Incredible dining experience with delicious dishes. We truly appreciate you fitting us in on such short notice.

This used to be my favourite Côte, but they lost me after the last visit on Valentine’s Day. Food is not as tasty as it used to be, sharing menu price and explanation was misleading, wine was mediocre. One oyster tasted funny and frankly were not very tasty all together. Disappointing, I hope I’ll be more satisfied next time.

We visited Côte for a simple treat—just a cup of tea and our favorite crème brûlée—but the experience was ruined before we even had a chance to sit down. A staff member named Charlie made us feel unwelcome the moment we walked through the door. Instead of a warm greeting, she shot disapproving looks at her lovely colleague, who had graciously welcomed us, as if questioning why we were being allowed in. This was at 9 pm., with a full hour left before closing, hardly an unreasonable time to be served. Charlie’s rude, snobbish demeanor was completely unprofessional. When we politely asked why she looked at us that way, there was no apology or explanation, just continued arrogance. Her behavior made us feel like we were a bother simply for walking in. My best friend, in particular, felt so uncomfortable that it soured the entire visit before it even started. The waitress who initially greeted us was kind and lovely, but Charlie’s attitude overshadowed everything. It was obvious from her appearance and conduct that she likely holds a higher position, but that only makes her actions even more unacceptable. I’ve visited many Côte locations, including this one, and have always encountered polite, welcoming staff in London and Nottingham. This was the first time I left feeling insulted and uncomfortable. Charlie needs a serious lesson in humility and customer service. Her behavior reflects poorly not only on her but on Côte itself. I hope management takes action because this kind of conduct is completely unacceptable.

Food, service and atmosphere were great, we really enjoyed it! We were a group of 7 multilingual people, italian, albanian, and croatian. We were served by very nice and pleasant waiter Fatmir who spoke all 3 languages, which was very helpful while choosing from the menu.

Gorgeous views, amazing service and THE freshest, crispest fish & chips I’ve had this side of the Thames (and I’m a Londoner!).

Incredible views of London Bridge at night accompanied my visit to Cote. The famous crème caramel was delightful, and the Americano was satisfying. However, the hot chocolate was just average. Overall, this location is worth a visit for the scenery and the crème caramel!

Brasserie which offers French dishes, very good cuisine, too bad no waiter speaks French

Very nice restaurant and perfect food. A lot of attention and preparation on gluten-free. Long waiting times.

Usually good food and service here but our visit for an evening meal on Thursday the 16th of August was not great! The service was poor, table not clean, had to change my cutlery and when I asked for a takeaway bag I was given cling film!! Won't be back in a hurry.

Overall, a decent experience, but with a small disappointment. I ordered my steak medium rare, but it arrived well done. I was in a hurry, so I didn’t mention it at the time. When asked if everything was okay while paying, I shared my feedback. The staff reacted very professionally, quickly calling the manager, who offered to fix the situation. Because of their good customer service, I can’t give less than 4 stars. That said, my son’s meal was excellent, so I’d still recommend the place—but if you’re looking for a great steak, you might want to skip it.

I'll just say that that's why they charged me 7 pounds...

I really enjoyed my breakfast there. Everything was very tasty and well prepared. The coffee was amazing too. Very polished and clean place with a nice view of the river. The people who served us were very polite and helpful.

Gosia served us and she was very attentive, friendly, professional. Delicious food and drinks. Highly recommended 👌

A restaurant located in a shopping mall along the River Thames. The atmosphere was great, the staff was friendly, and the food was delicious.

Great service Godiva was excellent. Lovely food and drinks. Great place for a get together

Beef bourguignon was amazing as usual and the staff were very friendly.

Can't complain, really good prices for London, fab view of the river was lovely sitting out in the sun. £14.95 for any breakfast, any hot drink and any juice. Got eggs benedict and eggs were perfectly cooked!

I had such a wonderful time visiting this lovely spot over Christmas! We ordered off their Christmas menu. The food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. The staff were attentive, and everyone in my group had a great time.

We went to this Cote for the firat time at New Year's Eve. We have been to Cote many times and this was the worst. The food of the new year set menu was overpriced and not good (extremely salty and bland), the atmosphere was not good at all with no light no festive music or decor, the aervice was extremely slow. We felt that we wasted our money and our time and our new year eve. We won't trust Cote again during the festive period.

We had a morning birthday celebration for my son. Everyone was really nice and made us feel welcome. Breakfast was excellent.

Great chain restaurant. Good menu well executed. Friendly and efficient team.

Good food, generally good service. Good occasional loyalty offers. Kids portions not that great.

Worst Cotes I have been into, cold atmosphere, cold team, and the food was barely hot 🥵

Nithin and Sheik were very kind and welcoming. Very fast service

This is the second year running we have had our work Christmas dinner here. Last year was very good, but we all agreed this year's meal was even better! I think it is safe to say, this will be our regular venue at Christmas!

It’s so good! The interior and even the restroom were stylish.

It was an amazing occasion. Rosie made it an unforgettable experience.

The female manager there has no idea what smile and kindness is. The rest of the staff was ok. Also I cannot understand why I was not allowed to sit upstairs since it was empty..... While half an hour later they sent customers there. Bad experience.

Very kindly and professional team

How can I describe this bad experience... Poor food experience in general, terrible service (waiter even ill-mannered), mistake the order twice... The views saved the experience...

We ate lunch at Cote, and we sat outside. The restaurant is in a beautiful location on the river Thames. They have heaters and blankets outside for the cold days. You can also sit inside. The food is delicious, it tastes really good! Service is fairly quick and staff are very friendly and attentive. We enjoyed dining here.

Huge thank you to the lovely staff who served us for our birthday 🎂 celebrations today. Find was delicious too.

A friend from New Zealand came for a visit and tried to find a good place to eat which is near the station. Husband took us here. Happy with his choice. Resto is warm, and the staff are really professional. The food was delicious. The set menu was a good offer. Generally everything is satisfied. Include a clean bathroom. Will come back for lunch to enjoy the view of the Thames.

Great service from the staff, my favourite Cote restaurant to dine

We just came into have a quick drink but the team made us feel very welcome and comfortable so we extended this to a happy meal and kudos to the team for making this evening perfect for us.

Juan gave to us a very welcoming service

Maybe one of the worst service ever received. Waited 15 min outside for someone to notice us and get sited, after 15 we decide to go inside and the host told us to wait for her colleague outside who apparently “keep disappearing “. The gentleman arrives and without any smile or greeting bring us to a table for 2 ( we were 3 standing in front of him) I look at him and ask him if he was gonna put two tables together and his funny reply is “oh I thought u can sit maybe other side my back his killing me “ and proceed to try to move the tables …. We clearly said that we were joining for coffee and food and the food menu arrived after 10 min. I asked for dessert menu which arrived after 15 min but nobody ever came to get an order ! Honestly shocked by this ridiculous experience.

The restaurant team made us feel welcome and let us have birthday decorations on the table. Plus free champagne was a nice treat. The food was delicious. Thank you Côte team!

Best restaurant best food ! I always get the steak or Côte beuf or chateubrian ‘ whether is date night or lunch with the girls , always get some cremant and Pinot noir to go with the food. And you have the perfect river side views . Heaven

Nice decor, but toasted sandwiches really poor, the pigs in blankets special was not that at all, but a greasy sausage, separate rasher of bacon and a fried egg between two unbuttered slices of cheap toast, no garnish of any kind, for nearly £10. The complimentary bottle of filtered water you used to get no longer offered. Disappointing
