Fabulous spot for breakfast. Great atmosphere and lovely food. Staff are friendly and helpful. Efficienct service. Lovely spot for Christmas, my cousin particularly enjoyed her festive French toast.

Personalmente me pareció demasiado caro y sobrevalorado. Tenía el menú del almuerzo (filete) que no era el mejor y una tabla de quesos de postre. El personal es muy amable.

Tuvimos una comida fantástica aquí para celebrar un aniversario. Mención especial debe ser para nuestro servidor brillante, Tatiana, que era maravilloso con nuestros hijos y era muy amable y servicial. La comida era deliciosa. Llegamos tarde debido al tráfico, pero esto fue acomodado completamente por el restaurante, y no nos sentimos en absoluto apresurados sobre nuestra comida. Dos de nosotros teníamos los mejillones y me sorprendió ver en otra reseña que sentían que las porciones eran pequeñas, ya que las nuestras eran muy generosas. Muy recomendable.

Hoteles en Blackheath Entró temprano el lunes por la noche, sin reserva, muy bien recibido y ofreció varias opciones de asientos. Tenía un bonito pinot noir de cristal y pedí los Moules para un main. No tuve que esperar mucho. Los mejillones estaban frescos y la salsa picante y sabrosa. Desafortunadamente más de la mitad de las conchas de los mejillones estaban vacías con los mejillones caídos al fondo del tazón. Los mejillones eran frescos y sabrosos, pero tristemente bien cocidos y algunos bastante mushy. Enseñé cortésmente las muchas conchas vacías con los muchos mejillones escondidos en el fondo del tazón al servidor de la mesa que asintió cortésmente. Entonces decidí pedir otra comida de los entrantes, ya que todavía tenía hambre. Pedí el suflé de queso con un poco de ensalada de albahaca de tomate. En ese momento el restaurante se había llenado y el lugar estaba ocupado. El suflé de queso acompañado de la ensalada de albahaca de tomate llegó a su debido tiempo teniendo en cuenta el creciente número de clientes. El suflé fue decepcionante, aunque un plato desafiante de preparar y cocinar en un momento dado. La ensalada de tomate tenía grandes cuñas de tomate escasamente aderezadas con dos cuerdas muy delgadas de albahaca. Sin aderezo y muy sencillo. Al menos las cuñas de tomate estaban frescas. Decidí no arriesgar mi suerte con los desiertos así que concluí mi cena. A pesar de las críticas anteriores no tan positivas sobre el servicio. Mi experiencia en este sentido fue muy buena y no me dio la impresión de que otros clientes estuvieran teniendo que esperar. Sin embargo, mis expectativas hacia la calidad general, el sabor y la presentación de la comida y la relación calidad-precio general para este restaurante en particular no se realizaron y me fui sintiéndome bastante decepcionado.

En realidad teníamos la intención de ir a otro restaurante en la misma zona, pero estaba cerrado, así que decidimos ir a Cote y no nos decepcionó. Para empezar tuvimos un pan de ajo que estaba bien pero un poco pastoso, y mi compañero tuvo la sopa de cebolla francesa que venía con dos rebanadas de lo que parecía queso en tostadas! Sin embargo, me gustó bastante! Mi pareja disfrutó de la sopa, sin embargo, tenga en cuenta que es una porción grande. Mi compañero tenía el bourguignon de ternera, tenía hambre extra así que también tenía un lado de papas fritas. Probé la carne y estaba muy sabrosa, la salsa era tan sabrosa. Ahora para la estrella del espectáculo... ¡El pollo! Era un pollo alimentado con maíz medio tostado que generalmente se servía con papas nuevas, pero las cambié por papas fritas triplemente cocidas. Debo decir que este pollo estaba absolutamente delicioso. No era elegante y cubierto de aderezos o todo tipo de hierbas, etc., aunque estaba bien sazonado, era simplemente simple, pero tan bueno! Hermosa pechuga, no hay trozos horribles en ella en absoluto y soy extremadamente exigente con la carne, así que esto era solo el cielo para mí! Mientras íbamos en coche a casa, mi compañero dijo que necesitaba volver y averiguar de dónde sacaron ese pollo. Si vienes de visita, por favor prueba este pollo! El personal era muy amable, cálido y muy rápido en tomar nuestros pedidos. Estábamos un poco molestos, ya que desafortunadamente nos habíamos restringido con el tiempo, así que tuvimos que apresurar el final de nuestra comida, pero volveremos muy pronto. Gracias ☺️ P.D. - ¡Sólo he conseguido romper el pan de ajo!

Sllloooooowwwww service. Good took too long, excuse was that the chef was busy 🤣 When I asked when the food would be served, a few minutes was the reply....another 10 mins before it arrived and much of it was luke warm. When I naively ordered another beer, it came tepid in a bottle with a warm glass fresh out of the washer😔. Not one I would recommend to anyone thinking of venturing in.

We came out for a meal with my grandparents while visiting London for the weekend. Having visited Côté in Nottingham we were not expecting the shocking wait times and poor experience we had. The prices were reasonable but not worth it for the portions, with the moules frites only having about 15 mussels in there, and about 10 extra empty open shells. The cocktail that was ordered came in a water tumbler, with no straw or garnish, and just tasted of raspberry lemonade (was supposed to be a raspberry mojito). After ordering our food, we waited around an hour to receive our mains, only one person on our table had ordered a starter so we assumed that the rest of our main courses wouldn’t take longer than like 45 mins. We also had to ask for our table to be cleared of the starter plate and ask again later to see a dessert menu. It felt as though we were being constantly watched by the staff standing around but still couldn’t get the attentive service we were expecting. It just felt like lots of small things that piled up to give us a disappointing experience😕like warm glasses and room temperature bottled beer, asking for a burger to be well done and it came medium rare etc. Shame because the desserts were lovely and the food tasted nice.

Booked for an evening meal with friends. I arrived a little early but was seated promptly in a quiet space which was good as we like to talk (a lot). There was a singer for entertainment which was nice but we were pleased to be around the corner as what is really important for us is the conversation, which the quieter spot helped. The servers were ok and did check in on us. The reason for the average rating is related to the quality of food and partially the service, firstly the starter one of my friends ordered wasn’t appetising and she was unable to finish it, second the portion sizes of the pork belly were noticeably smaller. And lastly my friend was served frothy milk to accompany her earl grey! There seemed to be an urgency somehow for us to leave as well which prompted us to leave before we were ready.

The service is not great and it took extremely long to get our order. The table next to ours ended up just canceling their order due to the long waiting time. The restaurant was not that busy. My expectations were low given that this is a chain restaurant but they managed to underwhelm

It makes me sad to write a negative review as we have had many lovely meals here over the years. However, the last four + times we have been, the experience has been enormously disappointing with rude staff, lukewarm food and a general sense that you are being hastened towards the bill, before you have even had a chance to pick up the menu. We booked a table last night for 6pm, arrived on time and queued behind a family who didn't have a booking but who didn't want to sit in the dark mid-section of the restaurant which was the only section the Manageress had said was free. After the customer insisted (at length) that he needed to sit elsewhere, the Manageress gave in and gave him a table in the front section of the restaurant - which she told him was actually booked. I am guessing it was in actual fact our table - as when we told her who we were, she looked panicked and said 'don't worry we will find somewhere for you' and then disappeared off muttering. The 'somewhere' was the dark mid-section that the previous customer had rejected. None of this interaction was done with any sort of grace or acknowledgement that she had just given our table away and that we had clearly heard the whole interaction. She was off-hand and the furthest thing from welcoming - which when she is clearly someone senior, is disappointing (and sadly she is always like this). From there it went downhill further. I stood back to let a staff member through the chairs - he pushed past without so much of a thanks. That waiter then served us for much of the meal and was like an extra from Kevin and Perry - sullen and vaguely hostile - no idea why. The food when it finally came, was school dinner-like. Everything has got smaller. Everything has got cooler and it looked as if it had been thrown onto the plate by a toddler having a strop. The Poulet Breton Roti with potatoes was dry and unappetising and you now have to pay extra for the sauce, which arrived like a tepid offering from Gollum's nose - lumpy and salty. The best bit was actually the fougasse which was delivered by a lovely French lad who was the only one who was in anyway welcoming throughout the whole sorry night. No one else smiled or looked in any way interested in anything connected to us (or any of the tables around us). I have no idea why it's gone downhill so very badly. It permanently seems understaffed and those that are there, are more interested in chatting to each other happily, but treating you with a coolness which is hilarious. We didn't stop for pudding - we genuinely couldn't wait to get out of there (and yes the mid-section is pretty crappy to sit in). Overall - best go elsewhere. There are many other restaurants in Blackheath who serve you properly and who don't charge £18 for something that looks like it came on an in-flight meal tray.

On arrival, the staff were not welcoming and simply asked if we had booked. Generally looked fed up. Shown to a table and during the visit was served by 4 different staff and they weren’t really friendly and seemed in a hurry to get on. At times I got the feeling they resented the customers being there! Food was reasonable quality - although Steak and French fries shouldn’t be difficult for a chef and at £24 each. The tiniest few rocket leaves on the side of the plate looked miserable. We wouldn’t return as there is so much better in Blackheath Village.

Visited for Sunday brunch. Service slow and disorganised. At one point witnessed 4 staff struggling to serve our drink order. Food was very disappointing. When it arrived the breakfast was poor, tomatoes raw, unseasoned. Toast cold and why do you have to ask for butter? How difficult can an English breakfast be to prepare? Unfortunately this is not the first time I have experienced a poor meal at this restaurant, I will really think very hard before returning again. Its just not worth the money they are charging.

This was my first time at Cote, I was really looking forward to trying their food as I went as part of a booking (6 of us) for my Grandmother’s 81st Birthday. Most of the waiting staff were lovely, though I felt sorry for them, it seemed as though they were understaffed- not only bad for the well-being of waiting staff but also the customers’ experience, so I hope this is not due to management cutting corners for long term detriment. I have worked in restaurants myself and dine in all kinds of places from McDonald’s to the Ritz. For a place that appears to market itself as elegant and sophisticated, it made for a stressful dining experience and I have had far better service in cheap cafes. Our seating area was very dark. Not great for my grandmother’s eyes or for our picture taking (which is something venues might want to consider in this day and age). We waited an hour for our food. Yes, we did visit on a Saturday afternoon- however good restaurants are not defeated by this. My company only ordered steak and fries, when the food arrived the fries were undercooked and cold. The staff forgot to bring our drinks as well as one of the desserts, which looked as though the components had been dropped on the plate in a hurry once they had been reminded. In spite of these frustrations, myself and my company of course remained polite towards the staff and did not see the point in complaining to our servers who seemed understaffed and overworked. For the price, it just wasn’t worth it. Harvester’s or Zedel’s would have done a better job. So yeah, waited a long time, food was undercooked and cold, they forgot our orders and the ambience was non existent. For the price, just not worth it. The only reason this is not a one star review is because the most of the staff were lovely and the desserts were delicious.

Went in with my sister for late lunch. Greeted with a nonchalant manner and when asked for table by window was told reserved. Anyway was seated in the corner for 2 and watched the table which no one sat for at least an hour and then 3 turned up, not reserved and was placed by window! We received “no check ins, sorry food will be here in a minute, completely ignored.” Food finally came and was ok nothing to write home about. Sad part was we ordered m full menu plus wine. Not cheap! Not happy! Service was very disappointing! By the way own a place in Blackheath and do eat out in Cillage but think will be last visit

Such a shame as we usually like Cote. We ordered and food took over 35 minutes to come. Some dishes were cold which we sent back (replacement dishes much better and hot), some orders incorrect, poorly presented and gluten free toast like cardboard. Drinks fine. We did complain and manager was quick to apologise more than once and made very generous discount on the bill which was appreciated. Staff were lovely. Such a disappointment but was slightly rectified by managers quick , appropriate actions. Hoping this is a one off disappointment.

Cote seem to have suddenly decided to downsize their dishes. The fish parmentier is now the size of a starter - literally half the usual size and mostly potato - and the crepes with banana was half the size, only one crepe instead of the usual two. The manager denied the fish dish had been reduced in size but it was so obvious and undeniably reduced in size but admitted that the crepe dish had been reduced. Not a happy regular customer.

We arrived and as we were shown to our table the under manager told us that 3 of the dishes on the menu weren’t available. Bearing in mind that this was a Sunday of the Bank holiday weekend that was surprising as they were due to open again on Monday so God knows how many dishes wouldn’t be available then! We ordered only to be told that one of the dishes we’d ordered was now unavailable so had to choose again. My starter of twice baked cheese soufflé arrived with a cheese sauce that resembled solidified lava from Mount Etna. I immediately refused to take it in that state so it was taken away. Another followed 10 minutes later but after the rest of the table had finished their food. Mains arrived, a half Breton chicken, clearly reheated , a mushroom flan (you could have bought better in a supermarket ) with fries worse than you might get in McDonalds, lukewarm and lacking crispness. Why doesn’t the chain serve proper fries or chips? The squashTabbouleh was equally disappointing, just one piece of squash semi cooked, very little spinach and mainly lentils all lukewarm. Further complaint followed and the manager, who was sympathetic, explained that they were 2 chefs down and this was causing problems. Now if that was the case then they ought to have shut the restaurant and avoided serving poor quality food. The bill was reduced but we went out for a pleasant evening, not for a poor meal at reduced cost. I made the mistake of paying the service charge on the reduced bill too. Cote is losing it’s way if this is how the chain is treating customers.

We went there for breakfast. The restaurant was very busy and the host at the door shared no smile nor was very inviting as we didn't have a booking. We didn't get disheartened by that as really needed a breakfast and since he found us a table we decided to give it a try. Our waiter was polite and professional but you could see how busy he and the rest of the staff were, not having enough time to offer a proper service. Short after we ordered, a member of staff came to inform us that they don't have one of the ingredients and we agred for a substitute. When our order arrived, the real dissapointment started: all the eggs that supposed to be poached, were hardboiled, the avocado toast was made of two small pieces of what looked like a baguette slices ( tiny) and you could see that they must have been really low on bread by looking on our plates. At the end the waiter offered us to take 2 of the breakfasts offf the bill which was a nice gesture we didn't expect.

We had a lovely and delicious dinner, but the guy who brought our food to the table with the black shirt needs to improve personal hygiene.

My friend and I stopped here for early dinner on Sunday. I was amazed by the attention to detail, standard of service. Staff been friendly and helpful with the menu, you could tell they have a good knowledge of the menu. The food was absolutely out of this world. Some of the best I’ve had in a very long time! We had the bread and prawns as a starter and the pork belly as a main, both were amazing. I highly recommend!!! Thank you for the hospitality and a meal worth remembering. We will be sure to come back!

If I could give more stars I would! It wasn’t our first dinner in Cote but it’s my first overdue review. The food was lovely, we were positively surprised by the offer menu which we thought may not be available any more and the waiters were absolutely amazing! Jarek in particular went above and beyond to make us feel looked after like royalty! Best way to celebrate the end of a lockdown, would recommend to anyone!

Exceptional experience on the first day of re-opening after the latest Lockdown. So good to be welcomed back by staff who make us feel valued; just as we value them. Even more stunning food than usual. Les Moules; perfectly lightly cooked, perfectly fresh and beautifully small. Salmon ditto; huge portion, perfectly cooked in a perfect sauce. Chicken that was just right; cooked right through, but perfectly moist. We even managed a dessert. But above all, brilliant service. Thank you; we'll be back every week... And I've just noticed that I first reviewed the Blackheath Cote 8-10 years ago, soon after they opened, with the hope that "they keep up this high standard in a village with lots of competition"... And they have! Better than the rest. And better value too. Keep it up!

A lovely restaurant with a great atmosphere. Our waitress was attentive and helpful. The mixed olives to start were so tasty as was the sourdough bread. The prawn gratinée was amazing! Will definitely be coming back.

Estábamos buscando en Blackheath un lugar para cenar y pensamos que el menú sonaba muy bien. La esencia y las camareras eran amables y serviciales. Uno tenía la sopa de cebolla francesa y el otro tenía el paté de hígado de pollo que estaban deliciosos. El principal - bourgeon de ternera y panceta de cerdo eran deliciosos y teníamos sus postres. Definitivamente recomiendo la tarta de manzana.

¡Muchísimas gracias a Giovanna! Este siempre ha sido un gran restaurante económico con buena comida, pero hasta ahora nunca me había sentido obligado a escribir una reseña. Ahora que estoy tratando de tener un bebé, la PKU de mi novia es de repente de importancia crítica para no afectar la función cerebral de un bebé si manejamos un embarazo. Tanto es así que solo puede tener 4. 5 g de proteína normal al día con 80 comprimidos complementando el resto. Casi nunca hay un plato principal o entrante que pueda pedir, y con frecuencia tiene que recurrir a algunas ensaladas de acompañamiento. De vuelta a Giovanna. . . gracias a esta dama maravillosamente considerada, se las arregló para preparar una comida completa de tres platos al excluir los bits aquí y allá, y compensar con otros. Podríamos ser vistos como clientes extremadamente difíciles, pero Giovanna vio todo a través de la cocina para entregar algo mucho más allá de las expectativas. Le agradecemos enormemente y les informaremos a otras personas que padecen PKU que hay un lugar donde pueden comer.

Me gustaba Cote por su variado menú vegetariano. Ahora se fue. Quizás sea comprensible que la crisis restrinja la oferta de platos. Pero para las verduras, la oferta se limitó aún más. Los dos platos principales se basaban en queso de cabra. Como era uno de los estadistas. Me gusta el queso de cabra. Pero también me gusta la variedad. No había nada para veganos. Esta no es la Cote que solía recomendar a mis amigos. Un poco de pensamiento sobre la elección, por favor. Y un regreso a los estándares anteriores.

Comida improvisada después de bajar del tren en Blackeath, miró a través de las ventanas y parecía tener las mejores mesas socialmente distanciadas, ya que tratamos de evitar comer en el interior, pero hacía demasiado frío para afuera. Nos preguntaron con qué mesa nos sentíamos más cómodos y cómo queríamos configurarla, fue muy reconfortante y, además, ¡la comida y el servicio fueron fantásticos!

Visitamos en nuestra primera comida desde que comenzó el cierre en marzo de 2020.Si bien nuestro camarero era amable, solía desaparecer para fumar afuera y no se lavaba las manos al regresar, solo usaba el gel.La comida era agradable y la mousse de chocolate excelente.

La comida estaba bien, nada especial. Sin guarnición en el plato y comida sin sabor. Todo fue muy básico. El servicio era bastante pobre. Nuestra camarera no podía preocuparse menos por nosotros. Cara como un trasero abofeteado. Probablemente mi peor experiencia en Cote, suele ser muy consistente. No se apresurará a regresar.

Estábamos dando un paseo por Blackheath Village un sábado por la tarde soleada y vimos una mesa vacía para 2 afuera y la agarramos. Tuve el estofado de pescado y mi esposa el salmón con ratatouille, regado con un vaso grande de Sauvignon Blanc cada uno. Mi estofado de pescado estuvo bien, he comido mejor calamares cocidos y los mejillones eran más pequeños, pero estaba aceptable. Mi esposa disfrutó mucho su salmón. El servicio fue bueno. Eficiente y amigable pero sin prisas. Volvería y elegiría algo más que el estofado de pescado, pero fue una experiencia agradable.

We visited for a late lunch on a Sunday. Staff were friendly and food was good, although not great for the money. I suggest it would benefit from a makeover as it is looking tired and there is some stiff competition locally. I would not rush back

I proposed to my wife. I told the staff online when booking a table that was going to happen. They provided a lovey quiet eating area with the best service and the food and how the staff was 6 out of 5 star. Perfect place good value for money friendly lovely staff

I've had varied experiences here but generally the service is prompt and efficient. Staff are uniformed. Portions are just about large enough. Food quality and presentation is good; almost very good. A hard-surfaced dining space with harsh acoustics for anyone with mild tinnitus. Better than average, but not better than the Ivy Cafe 20 yards away. Probably a pound or two cheaper though.

We went for a Birthday, meal absolutely fine. It was very busy and the service was slow and I felt they should have more of an effort to feed the younger children before the adults. Saying that they were very nice and helpful and did not object to us having our own table decorations and cake.

La comida era muy buena, pero el servicio era absolutamente diabólico. Hicimos nuestro pedido comenzando con bebidas, que llegaron después de que nuestra comida y 3/11 eran incorrectos y debían ser devueltos. Muchos de los pedidos de alimentos eran incorrectos y tuvieron que modificarse ya que algunos artículos se anunciaron como agotados casi 20 minutos después del pedido. Muy decepcionado de haber elegido organizar mi desayuno de cumpleaños aquí. El gerente se disculpó y ofreció un Buck's Fizz a todos los invitados, pero no lo recomendaría.

Fuimos allí el martes para una cena de hermanos que todos disfrutamos. El joven camarero de Venezuela fue extremadamente educado y agradable y nos divertimos charlando con él en español, ya que todos pasamos varios años de nuestras vidas en Argentina. La comida era buena y sabrosa, se sirve rápidamente, la lista de vinos es adecuada y no es caro. En general, una buena experiencia y una Cote Brasserie que se puede recomendar fácilmente.

Very Disappointing Experience ...especially over Festive Christmas Season, food was awful and completely lack of french flavours...No decorations and extremely poor service...better to avoid

Christmas lunch with grandad, 2.30pm post rush hour, lumbered with nervous rookie waiter, bungling with our bubbles - where's the decorum for goodness sake. Things get better, good variety of French staples although nothing very adventurous. The steaks were good, fish stew average, my duck tasty but a tad too duckling. The puddings impressed, other than mine which was rudely small... the investors hand on portion control. Decent wine list. Service radically improved once Jacob stepped in. Applause. In short - solid, safe French fare with modest portions and rather immodest prices.

The coffee and food is always fantastic here, and (usually) the music is also great. Lovely high ceilings and big windows make it the perfect space to spend an afternoon working or studying. Also dog friendly, which is helpful!
