Cote Brasserie - Brighton in Brighton and Hove

Part of the Cote chain. We have used several of them in London and elsewhere. This was the first visit to the Brighton restaurant and it did not disappoint. Great friendly, attentive and efficient service. Varied menu with well priced food and wine. Highly recommended

Lovely food and attentive staff. I would recommend the beef cheek and the crème brûlée.

Starters of crab maison and French onion soup were both good. Of the two beef bourguignon mains, one was good and the other very gristly and inedible. The salmon main dish was so far over-cooked it was sent back untouched and I’m really quite surprised it was allowed to leave the kitchen Service was - as usual - very good and the atmosphere was great. We are regular diners at this restaurant so we know this was a rare failure…

It was outstanding, Tim was very attentive and made lovely conversation. He made us feel very welcome and special for a memorial meal. We will make this a yearly visit.

I came by Côte when I collected my ticket for an event at the Brighton Dome Concert Hall. I wanted an early dinner and as Côte is just over the road, I cancelled the booking I had in another restaurant and booked a slot in Côte for 17:00. I got there a bit early I was warmly greeted by the manager and showed to a lovely window table with a great view of the venue. I ordered the French onion soup and the duck. I wanted the duck without cabbage, so I was offered green beans as an alternative. I ordered some wine by the glass that arrived before the food. The soup was just delightful with two large bread slices covered in cheese. When the duck in orange arrived that was just excellent, so tasty. With the service, value for money and great food, I really could not fault the evening. I was really looked after by both the manager Cassandra and the server Faye, who both provided first class service.

Smaller portions, less good quality, very noisy l. I had the crab starter, which was watery and lacked taste The duck main course was okay, a simple dish, simply cooked. Dophiniose potatoes used to be a favourite from here. This time, they seemed very plain, not much fkaour6. I make these myself. By comparison, the Cote ones were undercooked. They seemed to have been rushed, texture was wrong, We used to consider Cote a default restaurant in Brighton, but after this experience, we would think twice before going back. Shame

I avoid Cote completely now both in Brighton and Lewes. The staff are so nice it must be embarrassing for them to serve up the stuff that comes from the kitchens. I’ve had burnt and I’ve had undercooked. The safest bet though, if you find yourself at Cote, is the steak frites and the brunch is ok.

As always at Cote, our waiters were professional, attentive and speedy. Chilled water was brought right away, and topped up later, which as a big water drinker, is a real plus point. My friend and I both had crepes with cherry compote, chocolate sauce and pistachio cream - delicious and just the right size after a lunch main course. We also both chose roast ratatouille with beans, which was...fine, rather soupy, with unusually small chunks of vegetables and very thin slices of courgette arranged on top which were still mostly raw after roasting (they needed blanching first, I think). But, as ever at Cote, a relaxing time.

My friend invited me to her birthday dine at Cote for some classic French cuisine. 🐟The salmon bearnaise was paired with crispy chips, and to be frank the bearnaise sauce was the best part of the whole dish. That salmon was smooth and tender yet was under seasoned which I found myself reaching for the salt multiple times. The portion was small for its value and there was unfortunately little sauce. 🍰The Creme brûlée was so delicious! Very delicate and creamy texture, nothing too sweet. It was just perfect! 🍫The Paris Brest was alright… the choux pastry felt stale and the pistachio cream didn’t have much of pistachio taste in it. The macerated strawberries were quite overpowering making the dessert more sour than sweet. 🤵‍♀️The service was quite slow especially how there was a large crowd to be served on a Saturday night. The food took almost an hour to receive. It took many attempts to gather the waiter’s attention to order. Yet when asking for a birthday serenade for a friend, they took the request promptly and serenaded her in a wholesome way!

The service and atmosphere was excellent, could not fault this at all. The waiter was very attentive and we were seated in a comfortable part of the restaurant. I have to comment on the main courses as the menu suggested that they come with a ‘herb salad’ this is very deceiving as all that was on three plates was a garnish of parsley, NOT a salad! My main had no ‘salad’. What was served was a small handful of potatoes and half a chicken. We agreed that the food tasted nice but very overpriced for what was served. Why not serve an actual salad with the main OR some greens of some kind or change the menu to be more transparent with what is included with each dish? On a positive note the French onion soup was lovely and as mentioned, absolutely no fault at all with the service.

Our 45th wedding anniversary and chose cote as we went to France on our honeymoon. Very disappointed! Brighton was rammed yet cote wasn’t which should have worried us. Before we ordered I asked if the entrance door could be closed as I was cold. They shut it, we ordered, then they opened it for the rest of the time! Dinner was dry chicken, a meagre portion of green beans, 2 portions of sauce which had to be emptied with a knife it was so thick but it wasn’t plentiful. We didn’t bother to say anything until the bill came up including a service charge of nearly £10. Then we decided enough was enough. They reduced the £70 bill by £10 and took off the service charge. Won’t be going there again what a shame

Had a great pre show meal here. Absolutely buzzing (we were surprised too) excellent service & good food considering it's a chain !

I had a great time for my 30th Birthday meal I only wanted something small and it was a perfect setting. Our lovely waitress for the evening Faye was incredibly diligent, attentive and deserves respect for her professionalism, regarding the food I would say the steak was quite overpriced for ita size, I would have expected it to have been thicker or accompanied by something extra, it was delicious and cooked well however, I would say the only thing stopping me coming back was the prices of drinks and steaks, everything else on the menu was reasonable and of course the staff were excellent.

Great service, great food, reasonable price in a lovely venue.

We had an excellent evening to celebrate my birthday, and will definitely visit again.

We had an excellent dinner with great service. Big shout out to Tim who went out of his way to make sure a mislaid bracelet got back to me. Excellent customer service.

Bustling restaurant and great food. Cote still sets the benchmark for brasserie dining in Brighton. Good food in a good atmosphere with attentive service: all good!

Good food and good service. One of the best chains

Chicken liver parfait and calamari to start, parfait really tasty, calamari tasted frozen. Main’s pork belly which tasted really tough and presented awfully and sea bass which came cold - both were sent back and taken off the bill - thank you

We visited for Mothers’ Day and had an excellent experience. The sharing platters for Mothers’ Day were an excellent idea and meant that everyone could try a bit of the different dishes on offer. The service was fantastic and everyone we spoke to at the restaurant was friendly and courteous. The restaurant is also beautifully laid out with a wonderful atmosphere.

First time visiting here. Firstly this restaurant is right opposite Brighton Dome which we were visiting. This made the restaurant very busy. But we were greeted and seated quickly. The building was very impressive and there was a very good vibe. We were served drinks and our order taken quickly. We had the set menu. Although not vast this represented very good value for money. Really enjoyed the food. We both had the charcuterie board, my wife had chicken and I had steak. All were excellent. The only problem we experienced was that I ordered a side portion of vegetables that didn’t turn up. That aside the service, food and service was excellent and we both had an enjoyable meal.

Lovely lunch. Reasonable prices and prompt service

A nice experience for Mother's Day lunch. Food was plentiful, good quality and cooked/prepared to our liking. What was nice was that we didn't feel rushed, as can sometimes happen on days such as this.

Beautiful meal couldn't fault it in any way

Overpriced and overrated. But I tried only breakfast and desserts. So mb main meal is worth it let's see next time.

Food wasn't bad ,nice relaxed atmosphere and lovely, hard working, polite staff

Excellent food, and the service was faultless. We booked online at the last minute, had a great table and really enjoyed our visit. Cannot recommend more highly.

Best trained staff ever across all branches around the world and especially the Brighton and Wimbledon ones!

Chicken was dry, no sauce. Bill overcharged us and had to be recalculated. Café was noisy, with nothing to absorb sound.

Lovely lunch today to celebrate a friend 's birthday. Yummy food. Salmon fish cakes and clafoutis extremely good

We arrived around 3.45pm on Thursday 29th of February, as we arrived it was just after the brunch period. We were sitting at the window. we had a small table perfect for two but nothing more. Started with a pink lady apple juice and a glass of red (house) The food was amazing, and I had a little bit of a wait for food around 12-15 minutes. Drinks came first after about 9 minutes little to long for non cocktail drinks, but it was worth the wait. Then our starters came out French onion soup + baked camembret was amazing combination would highly recommend. Our mains came shortly afterwards 2-3 minutes after we had finished our starter. We had a sea bass + sirloin they had an amazing flavour to them. Overall, our experience was quiet and lovely. We will definitely be coming back.

Consistently good food in a lovely building, but very busy, especially at weekends.

What has gone wrong with Cote Brighton?? We've had several visits recently when attending events at The Dome and all of them have been poor, really poor. Inept staff, wrong cutlery on the table, incorrect drinks orders, and slow, really slow food orders arriving at our tables. Cote Brighton was always the go-to place for pre-theatre supper, not any more guys, sorry 😐

Good value. High end. Suffering a bit from the problems of getting staff meant the service was slow. Returned since my first review and this have improved. Good Veggie options

Excellent service, food and atmosphere, Really good value. Will definitely be back.

I've been here twice now and highly recommend it to people. The staff are so polite and will go all out to make the dining experience a great one. The fish pie my wife wanted was unavailable and we had thought of leaving due to not being any other good options for her to eat. However, they adapted a dish she could eat happily. It was also my wife's birthday and they gave her a complimentary drink. The only downside on our last visit was a very big and lively group celebrating a birthday which made it rather hard to hear.

Joseph and Joel were fantastic. We had a quick meal before the theatre and the team made sure of a speedy service, the food was delicious and the service was great, they were friendly, polite and attentive.

We went to cote for a late breakfast. On the several occasions we've been here before, it's been good service and good food. The restaurant was all but empty and we were shown to a table. Drinks (Champagne and coffee) came quickly. We had a pretty long wait for the food to come - too long as they had few covers. We were not offered refills and had to ask for water. Eventually the food came. We were not asked for refills or sauces. We had to ask for water. They did not check in with us. The breakfast cassoulet was different and tasty. There French breakfast was an abomination - how a professional cook can ruin that. Scrambled eggs were raw (like soup). The black pudding, toast and mushrooms were all burned and cold too. They refunded the offending breakfast - but all I really had was the glass of champagne.

We held our Annual Brighton College House dinner here again and it did not disappoint. It is no mean feat seating and feeding 81 hungry boys and the team at Cote did it with a smile on their face and made the whole evening special. Huge thanks to Julia, Sameer and Youssef for making the evening run smoothly. A great place for a large group, seated upstairs, to celebrate in style!

2.75 for a pot of tea on menu. Paid by contactless without checking screen. Bank statement shows was charged 3.05 I actually paid.why? Did yiu charge me service charge when I paid at the bar and without telling me? A lesson in also checking future amounts on card payment device before scanning card.

Went for valentines day food service and atmosphere was great. Faye served us and she was lovely :)

We went for a dinner here as a well deserved treat. The staff were pleasant, service was fast and the food came quickly. Food was really nice and was a decent size portion - we left feeling comfortably full. Only complaint that there wasn't enough bread with the chicken liver parfait!

Cote sites and generally very nice and this is one of the top ones due to the high ceilings and classy atmosphere. Faye was a wonderful host and I certainly recommend. If you would like to tip, I suggest carrying cash as their card machines may not let them tip above the 10% service charge.

Côte in Brighton has made an everlasting impression on me this evening. Not a good one. To start the service was slow even though there were only a handful of tables present when my party of 4 got seated. This on its own would have been fine as we were not in a rush. However, the food was sub-par at best. I ordered the french onion soup without cheese (take note) and the mushroom bourguignon. The soup had either been sat under a hot lamp for the past hour or had been microwaved to near oblivion. I suspect the latter as the thick skin and marks on the side of the bowl seemed to point that way. Despite asking for it without cheese due to having a strict dairy allowance (mildly lactose intolerant), it came with shredded cheese haphazardly thrown on top before "cooking". Definitely not worth the £8. The mushroom bourguignon was the embodiment of mediocrity. Firstly, to give it some credit where due, the fable mushroom fake beef deceived the 2 vegans in my party. Well done! Sadly my praise ends there, as the dish was sparse of any recognisable mushrooms and the mashed potato was far too great for the meager amount of the rest of the dish. I would not recommend this establishment to anyone who either is or was a chef, not to anyone who values the taste of quality food. The price was what I'd expect from a food establishment within this city, but definitely not worth what they are charging.

Fantastic place to eat, great food , great atmosphere and the service was above and beyond, we had the best Waiter in Joseph and he looked after us professionally and courteously.

We’ve visited a number of Côte restaurants in the country and always enjoy the food. Brighton Côte was no exception on Friday night - delicious perfectly proportioned food. Our waiter was very friendly and helpful too. He seemed keen to ensure that everything was right and that we were happy diners. I would give five stars except for two things. Firstly when we arrived we walked past maybe a dozen tables that hadn’t been cleared; several of which were around where we were seated. I assume the staff were stretched and prioritising diners which is reasonable but it made the restaurant feel more dirty than it would have felt. Similarly the upstairs atmosphere is lacking and having walked through the buzzing downstairs it was a disappointment to spend the evening there. Also…the waiter must have skipped the bit with the card machine for tips - we’d have loved to have given him a tip so don’t know why he did this. 4 stars - brilliant food, good service and I bet most of the time the atmosphere is great as well.

We visited here for an evening meal with friends. We opted for the fixed price menu. This was disappointing as at least three of the limited items were unavailable but we decided to go ahead. We were sat upstairs with only one waiter working and as hard as he tried he was struggling to keep up. We had to wait ages for our drinks and then even longer for our food. When the soup finally arrived it was cold so was sent back. This took ages to reappear and when it did our friends who had the Charcuterie board had already finished. After a long wait our mains arrived. On the whole they were ok but my steak was cold and had to go back. Thankfully it turned up fairly quickly from its reheat. As already stated the food was average at best and the service was poor but we in no way blamed our waiter who did well considering he was flying solo. We bravely ordered more drinks and some desserts/coffees and these came within an acceptable time. Overall a very disappointing experience from a restaurant that we used to like a lot and seems to have fallen from grace. When presented with the bill our waiter had kindly removed one of the bottles of wine we ordered saying he was sorry for the poor experience but the service charge of 12.5% was still on there. We asked for this to be removed which it was and we opted to tip our waiter individually as he had tried very hard to keep us happy. This experience has certainly put us off returning which is a shame as we have had domestic good times and food here and we did enjoy visiting here. Sadly after speaking with others this does not seem to be an isolated incident so perhaps this is something needs to be addressed at management level.

2/3 not bad: the French Old Fashioned cocktail and Crème caramel were on point; the beef bourguinon was a bit dry. Still my favorite restaurant chain especially for gluten free options.

Great veggie food, wine and service, thankyou

cold chips .waiter didn't ask how the food was .pleasant staff

Located in Brighton's old music library, the location is ideal for those visiting The Theatre Royal, The Dome and The Corn Exchange or who are just shopping in the North Laines. At busy weekends a reservation is advisable for lunch and dinner but if you don't have one then just take a chance. The menu has improved greatly since my last review and it now offers delicious options for vegetarians, carnivores and pescatarians. Pricing is mid-range, there is no parking. Sign-up to the mailing list from which you'll get an email link to book that includes two free glasses of wine for two.

We were going to Theatre Royal to see a play, so booked for 5.45. There were 6 of us in the group. When we arrived, we were taken to our table, where we waited. And waited. And waited. After about 20 minutes of waiting (during which time, not a single member of staff spoke to us), my husband flagged someone down to ask if we could order some drinks. We were told that someone would be along "in a few minutes". And then we waited for another 10 to 15 minutes. My husband then went up to the bar area to insist that someone come to serve us, which they (begrudgingly, it seemed!) did. Luckily, we had had plenty of time to decide on food so we were able to order everything at the same time. However, we were told that some food items (the vegan burger, for example) would take half an hour to cook. We did not think that was reasonable - especially for a burger! - but we thought that since it was only 6.30 at this point, there would be (just) enough time. Remember that we were due to be at the theatre afterwards. The show was due to start at 7.45pm and we wanted to get to the theatre as close to 7.30pm as possible. Our food arrived at 7.15pm. This meant that we had to rush eating. And some food items did not arrive for several more minutes. Had the food been of an acceptable quality, this would still have been pretty poor. But it was not. The chips were pleasant, but everything else was bland and uninspiring. Overall, very disappointing. It seems the restuarant trades on the location rather than on quality of food and service. Needless to say, we will not be going back.

It was cold on the 15th january my son had booked a table for 2 at 7.30pm . We were welcomed by a man who shouted from the other end of the room Sit wherever you like! With a smile . We sat, and 6 very nice girls sat at the table next to us... 10 minutes later The waiter brought the girls some water and asked them what they wanted to drink . I thought we might be next, but he completely ignored us... After waiting for half an hour we left... I'm not sure they noticed us..😩

Too many things to mention but Menu de Noel was reminiscent of school dinners. Waiter went out for a cigarette break between serving our drinks and taking food order and stank of smoke. Multiple occasions of dropping cutlery, crockery etc. Have been going for years but may never return.

Went for dinner at 8.15pm and when we came to order we were told that 3 starters and 1 main were unavailable due to them being extremely busy. This was very disappointing as you would have thought they would be able to cater for us and other people attending after we arrived. When the food arrived my pork belly and potatoes were warm rather than hot. I didn't send it back and really should have. Once we had finished the main course we were brought dessert menus and waited 15 minutes with no one coming to see if we wanted dessert. Eventually someone arrived and seeing we had a voucher assumed we wanted to pay without asking about dessert. The bill arrived we paid and left. Very dissatisfied with he level of service and food and won't be returning anytime soon.

This is a second visit on my return to Brighton. Great food. Great atmosphere. Reasonable prices. Worth the experience...

For several years, my family have booked Christmas Eve Dinner here, and it has always been a delightful experience. Not so this time. Despite pre-ordering for an 18.30 reservation, starters were not all out after 45 mins and then 2 were sent back for poor quality. We didn't start to get our mains until 90 mins after arrival. Two were stone cold and sent back. After 10 mins it came back on a burning hot plate....but the turkey was still cold!! By this time the rest of the party had finished. Cancelled desserts and left after 2 hours with 1 of our party not eaten anything! Servers and manager apologetic and professional but clearly serious issues in the kitchen. WON'T be booking next year!

We usually love Cote in Brighton and are regular guests.…however today the restaurant felt really cold!! Yes, it was a cold day, but for a restaurant to feel cold isn’t acceptable!?it should feel warm and welcom8ng. The food was up to its usual good standard and the staff efficient and friendly,,,but…we ended up wearing our coats …looking around we observed that most customers did likewise!? It did rather spoil an otherwise good lunch! Maire

Such a lovely place to stop by for a quick coffee and hot chocolate. The tantalizing menu of french cuisine was definitely very appetizing, but since we had a long list of destinations to go and places to visit on our first day in Brighton, we couldnt indulge ourselves in an extravagant lunch. But this place will always remain as our go to place in our next visit, for sure!!

Average breakfast fare in comfy surroundings.

What a disaster. Booked for a lovely relaxing NYE meal with friends and were greeted with chaos, terrible service and substandard food. The dining room was packed, our table wasn’t ready and we had a 20min wait before we were seated. Had to constantly remind...

Booking confirmed on NYE just to be told at the door there will be no food. As you can imagine impossible to find a place to eat on NYE , absolutely socked, no apologies, just bluntly told kitchen won t be able to send the food

Very disappointed the hors d'oeuvre came after our starter! The onion soup was cold and all came at different times. The pork belly was like warm lovely tasting but not hot. We have been doing every new year there but this year was super disappointing!...

My party of four was one of many with confirmed reservations turned away at the door at Cote, Brighton, last night – New Year’s Eve. The dining room was clearly rammed and staff told us diners inside had been waiting more than two hours for their food. As many other recent online reviews have reported, something has clearly gone horribly wrong at this place. The restaurant has responded to criticism with the same “cut and paste” comment, which underlines to me that there are problems. I have used, and recommended, it frequently over many years and have celebrated every NYE there for as long as I can remember. However, it’s off my list now. Shame. Many thanks to Donatello (apparently the last place open in town) which managed to get us starters and mains just before their kitchen shut too.

Having booked a table for 8.15pm, we joined the queue outside (!) at 8.05. Finally entered the restaurant at 8.35, to be told we would have wait another 10 minutes. Bread and olives were bland, and our prawn starters had obviously been cooked, but were...

We returned to Côte for New Year’s Eve 2023/24 celebrations, after a lovely NYE 2022/23. We will not be back! Hugely disappointing evening. Long waits times outside to get in to the restaurant despite having a reservation Long wait time for food Menu items unavailable...

Amazing service and fantastic food. Felt very spoilt and looked after. My wife advises that the Tuna Nicosia was the best that she has ever had. Would totally recommend!

First thing to say and I think most important is how friendly and great the staff were. They really did do there very best. Sadly I was a disappointed with how under staffed it was. We had to wait a long time for our main...

For several years on Christmas Eve, my extended family have organised ice skating at the Royal Pavilion, followed by an early dinner around the corner at Côte Brighton. We have always rebooked as the food and service has been consistently good, and a merry time...

Staff were really attentive Great gluten free menue Fish stew was excellent

As I have just seen here, many of us had similar bad experience. I have been here twice before this year, both times had great experience. Unfortunately have not had a good experience for the 3rd time. Reading the recent negative reviews, we could only...

Strangly, we had to book our food in advance..... but apart from the new computer system messing up royally... we did get all the food we ordered. The creme caramel was ambrosial!

This is our 4th outing as a family to Cote on Christmas Eve and we won’t be back. It’s been hit and miss other years and this year was dreadful. We had pre-ordered food and booking was for 6.30pm. It took an hour for entrees...

This restaurant experience usto be our first choice however, it's really not the same place thesedays. Service had no theatre as they usto do. The food portions are a joke ,especially the vegan options we had ordered. The spinach and pear starter was served with...

Very lovely meal. Everything I had was cooked just right, smashing.

Great venue for our large party to celebrate Mum 80th. Staff were very attentive (although lighting the cake sparklers proved to be a challenge) Food was delicious and priced quite reasonably. Our second visit and it won't be our last.

Food and service here used to be really good. A recent visit prior to this one, food was pretty poor, completely different standard to how it used to be. (Used to be a regular customer as a very nice setting and atmosphere downstairs). Decided to...

Myself and 6 girlfriends visited for our annual get together. The service was efficient and friendly, food and drinks delicious and we had a wonderful time. Thanks to the Brighton team for making us feel special.

We love Coté, it’s our favourite restaurant and we particularly love Coté Brighton. Today we ordered the magnificent Coté de Bouef which comes with Hollandaise, frites and two additional sides, we had creamed spinach and a tomato and onion salad. We’ve had this meal before...

Overall great place to meet friends, did however have to ask 4 different waiters for new water glasses.Friendly but appeared tired.

For a Christmas dinner, to be out of garlic seasonal vegetables, starter duck rilettes, crème brûlée AND cheese board, is very disappointing- how can you be out of cheese when there is a Tesco Express 5 mins up the road?!

A good range of options for all tastes - fish was perfectly seasoned and cooked. Duck Rillette was disappointing as was the crepe. Overall everyone enjoyed themselves in what is a great space.

In the past we’ve come here for pre-theatre dinner, as minute steak and frites could be served relatively quickly - they advertise as a pre theatre place as the Dome is just across the road. Sad to say, those days are gone. We had a...

Always a favorite. Centrally located, great for a long, easy-going lunch. Decent food and prices.

Really disappointing visit to Cote Brighton earlier this month, it's quite incredible how much the standards have slipped there. In summary, we paid over £100 for some microwaved leftovers, experienced terrible customer service with one of the party ill from the meal over the weekend....

This is a first class Cote in a wonderful historical location opposite the Brighton Dome & close to Royal Pavilion

Faultless service, delightful setting but the food, albeit a little different, felt a bit overpriced for the mass produced nature of it. Wines were both excellent and good value, whilst the free tap water was a nice touch.

A great evening atmosphere, a mellow and calm lit restaurant giving a nice romantic or sophisticated ambiance. Many will have social events here or a fancy post work evening meal and drinks. We had reserved and were seated promptly at a nice table by the bar. The wait staff were attentive and noticed when we beckoned them. Service was fast, there was no long wait or sense of food taking too long to arrive. Quality: Christmas cocktail noel blanco, coffee liquor and milk it seemed, it was presented very well, but lacked Christmas taste. It was more of a...glass of milk with garnish. Would recommend vanilla droplets, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and sugar mixed into an espresso shot added to it. I did request an espresso as the coffee liquire was very faint for taste. Food: 10 oz ribeye Presented well, was requested medium, slightly more pink more med rare. The steak itself was "cold" despite being recently cooked. It doesn't seem the steaks were left to rest to room temp and were cooked straight out the fridge, giving a colder internal and overall steak. Garlic butter left to melt with the steak tasted great with good marbling , I can't say excellent it's just made 4/5 for the steak as did not feel cooked or prepped to an excellent standard. Fougasse Nice soft bread brilliant to tear and share. Very light brushing of garlic butter on the top, could use more, finished with sea salt flakes. Calamari Delicate and delicious. No stringy bites, all clean. Crab Maison Served on nice sourdough bread, tasted more like tuna with a hint of crab but was still enjoyable. Our bill had two drinks added to it which were requested to be removed, a mix up on the tables which ordered them we were told. Always check your bills as some restaurants do this intentionally. Overall it is a very pleasant dining experience, great food, great atmosphere.

No sea bream and they didn’t have it last week either No Sancerre ditto And NO CHEESE!! No cheese ? Really? Something is going awry here and management need to sort it out.

The meal was vastly overpriced and failed to live up to its description. It was marketed as fish stew containing kalamari, mussels and sea bream. We were told they were out of bream but would make up the deficiency with something else. Unfortunately, there was no sign that they did so. My ‘stew’ contained one piece of potato and a few bedraggled bits of onion. It was more like a soup than a stew because the liquid was so thin. It was quite tasty, but overall it was disappointing.

Thank you to the great front of house Tim for looking after us so well. Cote always offers great food and did not disappoint. Both our mains were fab and we shared a trio of dessert. Great value and great service.

Superb food, love the Smoked Salmon Croquets!

Very disappointed with the service tonight and some of the food was warm ,fish stew was like water.asked for gravy when ordering off the kids menu ,which I had to ask for and not offered,the table didn’t get cleared ,explained the drinks would take longer due to a party upstairs .it was my daughters birthday and felt let down .the manager came over and said theater the waiter had been to the table twice and I said no one asked if everything was ok ? After certain discussions they decided to take money off are bill. The fact is they had to many people and not enough staff to cater for .the manager needs some interpersonal skills when dealing with customers

Excellent place ... try the sirloin steak

Absolutely what you'd expect from Côte: Classic French dishes. Lovely staff, but the restaurant is quite noisy

Really good meal Wednesday 1st Nov, Cote de Boeuf. Couple of hick ups to start, but this was soon sorted out by the matre de Yousef. Great service from our waiter isla, who made our meal a pleasure. Look forward to our next visit

Had a wonderful meal at Cote served by Tim, who was very friendly and professional. The beef bourgignon and confit pork belly were both wonderful. The restaurant is lovely bit it was very cold hence I knocked off one star for atmosphere.

Slow to take our drinks order on arrival...waited 15 mins after being seated. Food was great though.

Very nice meal and great atmosphere. We were a group of friends. I ordered one main meal one side one dessert and one alcohol free drink. £45 including 10% service. Dropped 2 starts 1) no spoons available for dessert 🍮 2) they didn’t accept cash
