Have been 3 times in the last year and it has always been really good food and service so wanted to review.Nice location and the restaurant is also lovely. Prices are great value too, especially with the prix fixe set menu and the Meteor beer is great and not something I have found elsewhere.

we tried Cote, my first ever visit to a Cote. I was very impressed by the greeting, given choice of tables and the overall service. The food was delicious, we both had Poulet Grille which was fabulous, desserts of Chocolate Mousse and Tarte Citron were gorgeous. We have booked our local Cote for this week now we are back home. Lovely place, lovely food.

I came here on my birthday with my partner, on the evening of the 18th September. Got 2 lovely glasses of rose bubbly on arrival, our waitress, Jun McRobie, was so lovely and friendly. I had recognised her from a previous lunch I had with my mum here, and she was so lovely on this occasion too. Food was amazing, service was so quick and professional, love love love it here! Our new local dinner restaurant. Definitely see you all soon. Thank you again. Saskia and Emma x

We managed to find this restaurant on a busy saturday morning in Cambridge. As we had experience with the same brand so we were grateful to have a table available for three of us. It all started really well our drinks arrived quite fast but then the service started to slow down completely which was a surprise because the place was half empty so it wasn't busy at all. I am afraid our meals were average too this occasion. On the other hand the bill we received was the fastest. I was a bit disappointed.

Have been to Cote many times and it’s always been consistently good, both service and food. Since Covid we have not been out to eat very often, so chose Cote as it has been so reliable- until now!The service was ok but it took a long time for the food to come out and when it did it was awful. The boeuf bourguignon was dried up and had been sitting around somewhere as the mash potato had a dried up crust- really unpleasant. My friend ordered the fish parmentier which I’ve had before but it looked very unappetising- nothing like it should do- she left most of it! I won’t be going back as I feel so disappointed and there are plenty of other good restaurants in Cambridge- such a shame!

6 of us for Sunday Lunch. Food was OK but the service was really, really poor. Very slow and the staff were surly, unfriendly and inattentive. Thought that for £196 we should have received better treatment. Had dinner at The Ivy on Friday night and the service was superb. Perhaps the management at Cotes should take a few lessons from their counterparts at The Ivy?

Went there hoping to get brunch, got two drinks which were fine, but they did full breakfasts without baked beans which would have been a big disappointment to me and then at the point where the waitress came out showing off that they only took card and not cash that was enough to make me pay up and move next door where we were much happier spending our money. Not taking cash for safety reasons was fine. Not taking it because you think it's trendy is not. Hence you lost our business and received a lower score than you would.

Visited cote whilst on a short break in Cambridge and have to say we were really disappointed ! Have dined at many cote brasseries around UK but this was by far the worst ! From very beginning no sooner had we sat down we were asked what we wanted to drink ,then again what we would like to order but had not even looked at menu !! Starter came up but was very average just cold pate in a jar with sourdough and why 2 of the same starter but different flavours ??? My main of beef bourginuon was dry like it had been sitting in the pot all day ,hardly any gravy and some pieces of meat chewy !!! My husband had chicken which came with frites and rocket !! They know full well you will have to order veg from the extras as rocket dosent really compliment a hot dinner !! Dessert was a let down too ,just crepes with Nutella an some small pieces of banana ! As if that wasn't bad enough a £10 service charge had been added to our bill for service that was quite poor and extremely hurried ,even the couple next to us had their wine completed poured out then asked straight away "would you like another bottle "!!! I mean come on really if people want another bottle I'm sure they would ask !! Will not be returning to this particular cote brasserie again ! They need to take a leaf from their counterparts at the exeter restaurant .

Great central lively location with outdoor dining for one or two. Excellent indoor tables too spacious relaxing ambience with friendly staff service. Food is always very good standard consistent quality every visit (our favourite dining place Bridge Street area). Been going there since 2019, have to pre-book weekends and peak times but can get tables without booking during week days non-peak like late lunch or early dinner before 6pm.

We were really pleased to come across this restaurant during a recent visit to Cambridge. Having been 'turned away' by one a few yards away, who claimed to not have enough staff, although they have numerous tables empty the Cote welcomed us with open arms - and we weren't disappointed. The staff were attentive and friendly and the food served was delicious and well presented. And unlike many other restaurants had a great selection of Gluten Free choices - at the same price as the standard menu.Well done Cote we will certainy look out for you in other parts of the country.

Have been to a couple of Cote Brasseries in different cities, they have a generally nice setting and more mid range Brasserie feel to them. So you know it will be nice enough. We had the midweek fixed menu which is just under £20 per person if having all 3 courses. For that price it’s is reasonable value and we enjoyed the meal. I would say that if paying full price it probably wouldn’t hit the mark for me, it’s nice, but not greatI had the chicken with mushroom sauce and gratin potatoes which was tasty and I would recommend the pavlova (comes in a Sunday style glass little more like an Eton mess) as this was a refreshing finish. My friend had the minute steak and whilst it said this was cooked pink I would say it was over, as the thinner steaks often are.Sides like green beans, spinach and peas do need to be ordered separately or you just have meat and potatoes so add to the cost. There is also a 12.5% service charge - although service was attentive.Didn’t see a great range of vegetarian options - not a problem for me but just to note if you are then probably better restaurants for veggie choices. Didn’t spot a vegan menu or offering.

Although it's a chain, Cote has a good welcome and fun window seats. I come here often. What I notice is a proper lack of taking feedback seriously. I had crab mayonnaise with sourdough toast - easy, simple and hit the spot. This was followed by Roast Pork Belly with a welcome surprise of dauph potatoes. The pork was more fat than meat. When feedback given to waiter. It got a glazed look. I checked if feedback given to chef and the response was the problem was the portions of meat brought in. Nope it's not. It's about the cooking:Here's the pic:

Il locale dovrebbe far parte di una catena, visto che ho mangiato in uno identico a Londra. Però devo dire che questo era molto meglio di quello nella capitale. Sicuramente ha influito il fatto che a Londra il posto fosse piuttosto affollato, mentre questo era decisamente tranquillo. Il servizio in ambedue i posti è stato molto cordiale e attento, ma a Cambridge lo è stato in modo particolare. Ottima qualità della carne e rapporto qualità prezzo favorevole. Personalmente, se dovessi suggerire un posto dove mangiare a Cambridge, consiglierei questo.

Siempre nos ha gustado Cote. Ambiente agradable y menú variado fácil de usar que tiene un precio razonable y una oferta de vinos decente. El ambiente en Cote Cambridge es particularmente bueno y ahora se ve reforzado por algunas mesas al aire libre. Fui el sábado. Muy bien. Lo mismo de nuevo hoy, pero cuando fuimos a pagar (tarjeta solo ahora sin efectivo), la propina opcional de 12. El 5% estaba integrado en la factura y la pantalla preguntaba si queríamos agregar una propina. ¡Ya estaba ahí! Tras una consulta, me dijeron que la propina opcional va para todo el personal, la propina adicional solo para nuestra camarera. ¿Tuvimos 3 diferenciales durante 2 horas? Las opciones adicionales fueron 10/12. 5/17. 5. Como todo iba a ir al banco Cote ac, ¡nuestra camarera no habría recibido el extra de todos modos! No estaba pagando el 30%, así que me quedé atrapado en el 12 cableado. 5% opcional. ¡Me dijeron que era grosero! La agradable señora gerente de generación polaca lo suavizó muy bien. Pero. Sé que los tiempos son difíciles, pero respeto a tus clientes. También es difícil para nosotros. ¿Volveré? Si. ¿Pero los ojos abiertos?

Este restaurante estaba rechazando a los clientes y tal vez por eso los estándares eran decepcionantes. No hay necesidad de esforzarse demasiado aquí.La comida apareció muy rápidamente, estaba tibia y el condimento carecía de sabor real. Pedí el desayuno vegetariano y mi esposa los huevos Benedict. Ambos cafés ordenados estaban muy fuertes, demasiado llenos y demasiado calientes. Difícil no derramar el café. La espinaca estaba blanda, la salchicha de verduras cursi y pegajosa y poco sabor a la comida. Después de haber comido los mismos desayunos en la sucursal de Bury Street Edmunds, que eran excelentes, la única ventaja en Cambridge sería el descuento de agosto para cenar fuera. Necesita mejorar y no dar por sentado los pasos que pasan.

Visited on the day of the half marathon my husband was participating in. On arrival, completely ignored for ages so when someone did acknowledge me, I asked if I could sit anywhere. Waited what seemed like ages for my order to be taken; nobody was forthcoming. Got up and tried to attract attention and a waitress appeared. Ordered my usual breakfast fayre; Eggs Royal and a pot of tea. Both arrived in a timely manner and as I have come to expect at Cote, the dish was perfectly cooked. But the service was terrible: the restaurant wasn't exactly busy and the waiting staff so disinclined. I have never had such bad service in a Cote even in the busiest ones in London. I nearly asked for the 12.5% service charge to be removed on the basis of the service as I didn't really receive any....

I went there for lunch yesterday, and I was quite disappointed with their service. When we went inside they sat us on a table just next to their front door without saying hello and without a smile, even though there were plenty of other tables left. We asked if we can move to another table, and again without a smile, she said: yes you can move. Her attitude was cold and rude. Our food was okay, but we had to wait up to 15-20 minutes between each courses for our table to be cleaned. When we went to settle the bill it was another waitress, but rude as well. No smile, very cold and couldn't be bother to speak to us. Maybe because she thought we don't understand english ? I don't know, but if this is their standard, then I'm afraid this is definitely not what I would expect from that kind of restaurant. There was a service charge to pay additional to the bill that I thought was expensive because the service was very poor. Left very unhappy and I don't think I will return.

I met two friends for Saturday lunch at this branch of this excellent French chain. It was my first visit to this particular branch. The food, drinks and service were of the usual great, value-for-money standard in all Cote's outlets. The best thing about it was that, with lots to catch up on, and after the very busy lunchtime rush, the three of us were able to linger long into the quieter afternoon with no pressure to eat/drink/spend more. It was just like a long rendezvous in a provincial French city. Bliss!

We always find the meals and service good and reliable at Cote. We enjoyed our meal - particularly the lamb chops, but one person was not so keen on the cod which came with the tiniest amount of sauce and was rather dry, the result was judged "ok but disappointing".

We chose Cote because it has a good reputation as a chain. Our starters were average, the cauliflower soup was more of a purée, the langoustine tails with green mayonnaise turned out to be scampi and tartare sauce. Then we waited...and waited and eventually asked about our main courses as other tables had overtaken us, apparently there had been a mixup. When our orders arrived the breaded chicken was overdone and tough, the goats cheese and roast vegetable salad was a bowl of rather sad lettuce, some hard, almost raw chunks of squash, fennel, etc. and a thin slice of cheese. I was offered a different meal but that would have meant a further wait. The desserts were pleasant. In fairness the bill was drastically reduced to reflect our experience but we are not tempted to risk another visit.

This place has an amazingly large, quality menu. It’s an absolute shame that the host as we as our waiter were extremely rude and the worst service I’ve received so far in all of Cambridge. Hopefully, both were just having a bad night and behave better normally.

A warm welcome on a chilly, wet evening from this chain restaurant. I've always found Cote to be consistent in price, choice and quality. The early evening set menus are, in my opinion, good value. Wine by the glass def 'London' prices but very drinkable (which is more than can be said for some other chains).

First visit but loved it as excellent range of food, great service and welcome. When booked on line, fab free cocktail for us all- a 'sidecar' this month. Definitely recommend.

I don't often eat out at chain restaurants. After my miserable experience at Cote, I have reminded myself why.

This is such a lovely, friendly restaurant for all occasions. I visited yesterday with a friend who has to have gluten-free food, and she was delighted to be presented with a gluten-free menu. Everything we ordered was delicious and the service from our young Spanish waiter was efficient and charming.

We visit the Cote regularly as it is not far from us. We often walk into town for the Sunday breakfast here. The quality is excellent every time

The problem within the Cote chain of restaurants is the lack of consistency. All the London ones I’ve been to have been excellent; the Cambridge one less so.

We are used to good food and service in London branches, however in Cambridge they were superior. We really enjoyed the lunch and staff was attentive and courteous. Prices were same as in London, while central Cambridge is generally expensive.

Cote has become a safe bet for me when I am at a new place and do not feel too adventurous. London locations have always been wonderful as a pre-theatre option, at this Cambridge location I stopped for lunch. The food was up to the mark, but the service was very haphazard... still a very good options

We called in on Sunday evening for a family meal (our son is at college around the corner). We've only just started to try the Cote chain and a recent good experience at the Shrewsbury branch led us to use this one in the centre of Cambridge.

After visiting a Cote branch in Bournmouth a few months ago and being impressed we decided to try the one in Cambridge. It was a busy Saturday evening. The staff were efficient, some of them displaying a slight aloofness you would expect in a French themed restaurant, which didn't seem out of place. The food was excellent, it may be nice if there were a couple of other decent French beers to choose from. The Pelforth was tasty as was the Cote du Rhone red wine.We will most definitely be back.

We usually eat in this restaurant at lunch time but on this occasion it was 6pm and the atmosphere was great. The food is always excellent, I opted for ‘posh fish and chips’ haddock goujons and frites, gorgeous, the haddock tasted amazing. Must admit both my husband and I were disappointed that the beef bourginon was not available as that’s our favourite dish! Service was, as usual, excellent. I should mention that for Coeliacs the gluten free menu is excellent. Would we go there again, absolutely, in fact I’m already looking forward to our next visit.

Comida francesa, com cardápio enxuto e para todos os bolsos. Fui mais de uma vez somando tudo considero uma excelente opção para se comer em Cambridge. Cabe ressaltar o que o restaurante tem de melhor é o atendimento, lógico com muito boa comida. Eu registro aqui os meus agradecimentos a todo o corpo de funcionários que sempre me atenderam muito bem mas uma menção honrosa especial para o Giancarlo,Kamila, Karolina, Martinha e Mariuz, um italiano e os outros poloneses, muito obrigado, vocês fizeram a diferença nesta minha temporada em Cambridge.

We have eaten many times at Cote Brasserie in London and were pleasantly surprised to find that there was a restaurant in Cambridge. My husband and I had the 2 course special and thoroughly enjoyed the lunch. The Leek, Potato and Celeriac soup was super delicious as was the Grilled Chicken Breast with yummy roasted vegetables and a creamy wholegrain mustard sauce. Double delicious. The food was beautifully presented, hot and good portion size. Service staff friendly and attentive.

ブラッセリと名付けているだけあって、気軽にフレンチ風の食事を食べられるお店です。イカのソテーやマグロのカルパッチョなんてブラッセリーらしい。ただ一つ違う点は、朝の朝食メニューが充実していること。フレンチ風のお店ですがイングリッシュブレックファーストも食べられます。

I do not usually patronise chains, but this experience was pretty good. Service was reasonably prompt and courteous. My wife's requirement for gluten-free food was understood and met. Food was as good as most places and prices reasonable. I would certainly visit again.

Ampio locale nel centro della città. Personale molto gentile e disponibile. Servizio abbastanza veloce. Piatti buoni: in particolare il Camambert alla griglia ed il pasticcio di agnello erano veramente apprezzabili. Prezzi decisamente onesti rispetto alla qualità ed alla media della città.

The food at Cote is always reliably good, but their outstanding commitment to customer service makes them stand out from other chains. I observed the staff attend a number of very different patrons (grandmother's birthday party, couples, exuberant girls' night dinner, etc) and they were all catered to perfectly.

Visited this restaurant today. Friendly welcome and spacious restaurant. Reasonable menu and price. We received quick service but the staff we a little over attentive interrupting our conversation and constantly asking if we wanted more drinks desserts and when we asked for the bill couldn't wait to collect the cash we had left on the plate. Felt rushed.

Cafe Rouge Cambridgelocation-icon24 - 26 Bridge StreetFrench

Just wanted to say a massive thank you to staff at Cafe Rouge Cambridge. I took my class there as part of their Food topic, and the children had prepared many questions to ask the people who worked there. The manager and different members of staff took time out to answer all the children's questions, and then they were able to enjoy a great lunch. Very cheap too at £7.95 for starter, main, dessert and drink, without compromising on quality. Definitely would recommend to any family.Here are some of the reviews written by the children:"I had garlic bread and orange juice to drink. As a main course I had the burger and for dessert I had a chocolate brownie. It is so fun at Cafe Rouge and the food is good."Melker, Sweden, aged 9"I went to Café Rouge and had an amazing lunch there. I ate chicken and chips, that were delicious. It is very beautiful there too. It is in the centre of the city, professionally run and has great service. You will have a great time there."Steven, China, aged 9"The service was quick and the food was delicious. The environment was very cosy."Olivier, France, aged 8"I ordered a burger, garlic bread, apple juice and ice cream. The pictures on the wall were black and white and made it feel like an old restaurant. They served the food quickly. The staff were nice and professional."Clive, Taiwan, aged 9"The food was tasty. The hamburger bun was crispy and I liked it. The service was quick and the atmosphere was cosy."Lukas, Germany, aged 9"The macaroni pasta was extremely fantastic! The staff there were really helpful. I asked Anna (who was our waitress) how many plates she could carry at once and she said four! I I would definitely come back to this restaurant."Sofia, Spain, aged 8

We were six friends visiting Cambridge for a few days. Staying at the Centennial Hotel just down the road, we’d had a brilliant day at IWM Duxford. We booked for an early dinner at 6.30 & we’re not disappointed. Friendly efficient staff, we shared starters of charcuterie olives & bread - very good. Our mains were varied but steaks & chicken. - all excellent. Very good portions & delicious! Highly recommend this restaurant.

Fuimos a este café de Frence un domingo por la mañana para el desayuno y fue fantástico.Teníamos dos platos de huevo, tuve huevo Benedict y mi marido tenía huevos florentinos.Ambos platos muy grandes para el desayuno, huevos y pan tostado servido muy bien.Un pequeño café a solo 2 minutos de Chapel on Hills Road, un buen lugar para comer por la mañana, habría vuelto otra tarde para tomar el té de la tarde, pero me iba a casa el lunes para no poder volver.
