7 of us enjoyed a lovely lunch in Cote Cardiff Bay. We were greeted with smiles from the very friendly and professional staff. All of us ordered from the Prix Fixe menu and we we all happy with our choices. ( Particular favourites were the bacon salad starter and the sea bass). Service was unhurried and there was a decent gap between courses). There was a nice atmosphere in the restaurant and we will come again. Our waiter was at pains to explain that the service charge was optional and double checked we were happy to pay. My only complaint is that Cote Brasserie does not accept cash but I'm not deducting a star as it's a central decision. However, there should be a choice for the customer to use cash or card.

With Côte being one of my favourite restaurant, we regularly choose to eat at Cardiff Bay, whilst we always get great quality food the staff here, by far make the experience more of a treat. They are extremely attentive and make you feel relaxed and welcome. Full set of stars from me, great place to eat

Sadly my soufle was tasteless, could only taste parsley, no taste of cheese, Sauce was separated, poured oil all over then found sauce at bottom of tiny jug. Wonder was the sauce with my meal, Main course Burger, overcooked, two tiny thin slices of strange cheese, cheap tomato, and awful chips. Very disappointing. Third visit, will not go again.

Cote Cardiff Bay isn’t what it used to be. Crab starter was tasteless and wasn’t worth its £10+ price tag. Many of the main courses (e.g. fish pie) don’t come with any sides. The portions are certainly not French - the calamari was so small, I felt like saying “where’s the rest?” The price has gone up and the experience has gone down. Such a shame but can’t see us going back.

Three of us went for an early dinner last Friday. It was very busy, but lovely friendly atmosphere. Unfortunately my husband accidentally knocked a glass off the table but all was cleared up quickly with smiles and efficiency. We all enjoyed the food but I must add that mine was all absolutely delicious to look at and to taste! With smiling, engaging staff and a very reasonable bill, we all came out feeling that we would love to come back again soon. As we were walking up to the Millenium Centre, someone dashed up behind us breathless, it was a staff member with a pair of glasses we had left on the table! How kind! Certainly a 5* restaurant!!

Tonight, my dining experience at Côte Cardiff Bay was not only disappointing but also alarming. I ordered a steak, expecting a delightful meal. Unfortunately, what was served to me was far from appetizing; the steak was spoiled. The realization that the meat was not fit for consumption was immediate, and the dish had to be sent back to the kitchen. Consuming spoiled food poses serious health risks, and I was appalled by the oversight. Adding insult to injury, the response from the staff further soured the experience. Our waitress, while acknowledging the mistake, merely mentioned that we would not be charged for the steak, as though this gesture absolved the restaurant of serving potentially dangerous food. There was no genuine apology, nor were there any attempts to rectify the situation beyond this minimal effort. A more appropriate response would have been to offer a discount on our bill, acknowledging the severity of the mistake and valuing customer satisfaction and safety. I urge potential customers to reconsider dining at Côte. The lack of attention to food safety and unsatisfactory customer service makes it a place to avoid. No one should have to worry about the quality of their meal or the potential health risks involved when going out to eat.

Lunch with the family as a treat before the cinema. Starters were good. The rest of the family enjoyed their mains, my son and I however were very disappointed with our chicken gratin. Plenty of meat on the chicken, but not expecting it to be served surrounded by what can only be described as a watery soup with two beans and two carrots floating amongst it, not a thick creamy sauce as anticipated.

After spending around £150 I gave feedback which was not positive, manager called after a couple of weeks and invited us back and offered a bottle of wine, so I spend another £150 pounds for poor food with a cheap wine included, should we go back.

Went to Cote for a family lunch. The restaurant is bright and airy, the staff helpful and the food is very nice. I ordered a chicken dish which was basically half a chicken, well cooked in a creamy sauce. I ended up donating half to my son who had just wolfed his steak. Cote is supposedly well known for the quality of its steaks and they were certainly appreciated by my sons. The chips were really good and the deserts did not disappoint. The bill was reasonable and the 10% optional service charge seemed on the low side given that other restaurants are happy to charge 15%.

We went for lunch today and they were seriously understaffed. The manager and his staff were brilliant, helpful and the food was delicious. We were short on time and even though they were busy we were able to finish our meals with time to catch our show. They were really up against it with some customers canceling because they were not getting their order fast enough. The manager was very professional, friendly and helpful.

Weds before Christmas, visiting family in Cardiff, we went for lunch in Cotes B. This is our second visit, the first 4 weeks ago having diverted to there after Cardiff traffic jams prevented us getting to our orginal destination of The Ivy. We went back to Cotes this time over The Ivy because the staff and food were so good. They were lovely, helpful and kind to an elderly relative, accomodating serving a breakfast/brunch item for a late lunch. Our second visit was equally sucessful. A lovely location in Cardiff Bay, and not having to battle Cardiff traffic!

Went here today (Sunday) for breakfast, looked promising but was very overpriced for what it was. I had a ham and cheese toastie which was about £8, presentation was shocking. Wasn't cut, burnt round the edges, no garnish not really what I would expect in a restaurant. My friend had the full breakfast which was okay but again not really worth the £12 she paid. Coffee was really nice though. Service was slow but that was because it was busy so that wasn't an issue I would just expect more pride to be taken over food when you're paying that bit extra. Probably wouldn't come again for breakfast.

Sometimes, a night out just clicks. Some fougasse. Succulent beef cheeks. A wonderful Grave Rouges. Staff who just know how to make the evening right. Enough space to be comfortable.

We visit Cardiff Bay frequently. We always manage a couple of breakfasts here. Service very good and staff attentive. Visited Saturday morning service and breakfast very good can't complain at all. So decided to book a table for evening meal and lucky for us they could fit us in. We we're so looking forward to it. Arrived and shown to our table, awful, young couple next to us so close it was unreal, couldn't have proper conversation and the young lady next door rather loud. Just don't like being that close and it's not because of things the way they are now either. Purely don't like hearing the next table so clearly. It was really busy. We nearly walked out but didn't as we didn't know where we would be able to get a meal. Very disappointed couldn't wait to leave. The food excellent couldn't fault it. Would I go again yes for breakfast but a definite no for evening meal. Shame as we liked it.

As a wheelchair user the restaurant was a little short on space to manoeuvre but the front of house was good at getting us to the most suitable table, However we then waited a good 15 mins before our drinks order was taken and two staff were both trying to do this and ended up missing half our request, Then a further lengthy wait for them to arrive and then also take food order,It was extremely busy, staff were not wearing masks and tables were not socially distant, and as there was not much room between tables, the wait staff kept kicking and tripping on my rear wheelchair wheels which was quite annoying and not once did any apologies.The food however when it arrived, was plentiful and cooked to perfection, the staff were nice enough just very overworked.And the cost a little pricey but as it was a special occasion it was worth it

We were greeted by the floor manager (my qualification of him) on entry and could sit anywhere as the restaurant was not busy (we dined early). They had a separate gluten free menu, and we were so grateful for it, as in many other restaurants they have to juggle around with ingredients “oh yes we can do that without that” which is not what we wish to hear, when we are paying good money for their goods and services.They don’t take cash which is a sign of the times, as many others are doing the same, but that was fine and the fixed menu was just what we wanted. Service was good and the staff attentive to our needs. We will go again.

We booked an early table to allow time to get to the Millennium Centre theatre which is a few minutes away.I have always enjoyed Cote in any of the branches I have visted, including this branch, but this meal was very disappointing.The restaurant was full, and the service seemed very slow - which is unusual in Cote.Eventually we were told there was an IT crash. I have seen this said in reviews of other locations, not just Cote so it seems that modern chain restaurants are very reliant on techology rather than someone writing an order at the table and speaking to the kitchen!It all became very chaotic at adjoinig tables too - not the relaxed meal with with family we had envisaged before a musical.Food eventually arrived but the quality was ok rather than great, think the whole operation was under pressure by then. We certainly didnt have time for a dessert or coffee.I think the staff were doing their best in the circumstances , but Cote are not a cheap option and it just wasn't good enough.I wouldn't book this restaurant again for a pre theatre meal.

We’ve been going to cote for 10+ years. You know what I mean. It’s an above par chain restaurant nice wine. Good steak solid food. Something has changed. I don’t mind paying more. We all know brexit has pushed up the cost of staff and food so that’s fine by me. What isn’t fine is to replace the food with something you’d get in a 3 star tui hotel in Majorca. The plus points. Service as ever was excellent all round. Pleasant attentive. Nice atmosphere.The downside. £14.95 set menu.Starter m. pork terrine. Bit like sausage meat wrapped in preformed ham. Not good. At all. Main. A chicken breast that had pre charred lines on it with what felt like a tin of mushroom soup on top. Bad. I’ve eaten at cote maybe 100+ times and the food has been consistently good at each of those meals. but this is a cost cutting step change in the wrong direction so won’t be back. Something has changed and we aren’t dumb enough not to notice.

We dined here twice over our weekend in Cardiff. Firstly for lunch on the Friday and secondly for breakfast on the Saturday. Lunch - firstly my favourite soup is French onion and Cote usually make a delicious one but this wasn’t up to its normal standard (although I have to say it’s the first time I’ve had it in the Bay restaurant). It was really bland and glutinous plus the toast was burnt on the underside. I won’t be having it again here. For my main I had the Fish stew which was mostly delicious but the calamari was tough (I thought it strange that it was in batter too), Hubby had the fish pie which he enjoyed. For breakfast we both had the traditional full English which was mostly good. I’d love you to offer baked beans as well as tomatoes though (I don’t like tomatoes). Also this time the toast looked as if it had never seen the toaster.In summing up two average not bad visits. Staff were really efficient and pleasant, even the one that had never heard of marmite lol !

Fitted us in via a 'phone call for a short-notice request for an early evening table booking (when we arrived the place was almost empty) We were looked after by the very lovely, friendly Grace! The food was mediocre at best, as with the comments from another recent diner, both our (different) starters were produced in less than 5 minutes after ordering, and both food and various pots being fridge cold - other than the pale toasted bread, followed by average mains. all through both of our courses a few members of staff were faffing about dragging 'round various tables and chairs - opposite and next to our table throughout our entire meal, as the place was empty the sound of the constant dragging was as relaxing as being on the M4!! We told our lovely waitress on asking for the bill that because of the constant noise throughout our meal, it was really an unpleasant visit, and when she came back with the card machine she informed us that the 'management' had asked her to apologise, I am at a loss for words that none of the said 'management' in an empty restaurant couldn't be bothered to walk a few paces from where they were standing to our table to apologise in person!! We have been here quite a few times but won't return.

We had been to Cotes Cardiff Centre and it was suggested to visit Cotes on the Bay. Well what a treat, from the reseption at the door by the Manger to the wonderful table service by Grace's. We had a complimentary glass of bubbly on arrival and enjoyed the set menu with a few additional items we requested.The meal was amazing and delicious, we would definitely recommend this wonderful restaurant and plan to visit again to celebrate a big birthday soon.

Had dinner here recently. Was really busy and the staff and service were excellent. However, after ordering, our starters were delivered in less than a couple of minutes. I thought it was odd. The food was okay but my plate was cold and assumed it had been pre-prepared and kept in a fridge. Also starter and mains were garnished with old and limp watercress. Same happened with dessert - how can a chocolate fondant be cooked and served within 3 minutes? It was also scalding hot inside. I asked and found that it had been microwaved - again, pre-prepared. This is so disappointing. It’s like Côte has become a fast food restaurant that just reheats food cooked off site. What restaurant worth a good review, charging £6.25 for a fondant, uses microwaveable ones? Come on! This isn’t acceptable Côte. Côte management need to take note. If you can’t offer authentic and freshly cooked french food, then long time fans will go elsewhere. I fear that we are starting to see the demise of Côte. I won’t be rushing back any time soon.

Visited Cote this evening as a treat for our Daughter returning to Uni in Cardiff and was very disappointed!. Front of house team were very friendly and service was attentive at all times. As for the meal??, not hard to get food hot to the table when restaurant half full, returned part of my main to be recooked due to being cold and was not impressed observing kitchen staff from my table having a social in the kitchen, when they should be delivering good standard food to the customer, who paid £100 for their meal, and wasn’t satisfied with what they received. Better restaurants at Cardiff Bay, not recommending this one.

I visited restaurant with my wife and my two boys. Restaurant was busy, but we were served immediately after we walked in. One of the manager, I think his name was Kamil gave us outstanding hospitality service. His knowledge about the food was brilliant, he also helped us with wine that matched our main courses. Food was cooked perfectly. We would definitely be back! Thank you for making our day perfect after great time in Cardiff.

Every year I take my sister for a birthday lunch to Cote in the Bay. Sadly last year we couldn’t do this. However, we were thrilled to be able to go yesterday to celebrate the birthday. We sat outside and had an excellent lunch. The service was exceptional and the staff made a great effort to make it special. Thank you everybody!

I used to be a big fan of Côte ( London/ Bristol and Cardiff ) , and also ordered from Côte at home numerous times during lockdown . Now we have been back twice ( Cardiff Bay) since restrictions eased abd we were bitterly disappointed by the quality of the food. It seems that Côte is now microwaving the food they are getting delivered from a central kitchen . The menu is missing lots of their usual plates (where is the steak tartare ???) , but what’s on the smaller menu lacking in quality . Worst was the crepe praline which was like a rubber shoe sole , just horrible! That’s not the way forward , I’m afraid ,sooner or later the clients will go elsewhere .In my case , our family won’t be back , it’s a shame !!!

Our first breakfast visit for quite a while. They look after their customers and it was good to see the things returning to a little normality. All 5 enjoyed our varying orders of breakfast. I’m not quite sure why a standard breakfast comes with lots of questions such as which bread would you like? How would you like your eggs? Etc. A vegetarian breakfast is served as it comes. Why can’t I choose which bread I’d like and why can’t I have a fried egg instead of poached? Unfortunately, there are no options offered with a vegetarian breakfast. Overall, the portion sizes have decreased, I’m not a huge eater in terms of quantity but I thought… that’s not much. In terms of cost a breakfast with coffee and juice use to be £10.95 or maybe £11.95, it’s now £16.95. I understand an increase in price given our current circumstances but this is too much. We tried to book somewhere else originally but they were fully booked. Cote was mostly empty!!

Booked for 1.30pm, arrived 1pm, not popular but there was absolutely no-one else in our part of the restaurant, not did anyone else appear while we were there. Casual offhand service, 5 intimidating men hanging around doing very little. Poor table with back to open door, draughty, what a let down after regularly going to our favourite one in Bath which we love.

Visit here with friends , Food as usual was good although I think the prices have gone up. Service was good and the venue was quiet but it was a Tuesday Night. I can always rely on this Brand to deliver a nice meal

Un poco tarde con mi reseña, pero fue el primer día que abrieron y fue el esquema de "comer fuera para ayudar" el último día de agosto. Reservé rápidamente cuando noté que había abierto nuevamente y disfruté de una comida encantadora como de costumbre, 3 de nosotros comimos bistec con patatas fritas y varios postres, la tarta de manzana, fondant de chocolate y crepe de praliné. Todo fue excelente como de costumbre y el personal, a pesar de que el primer día de apertura desde Lockdown, pareció adaptarse muy bien a todas las nuevas reglas de Covid. Aunque estaba muy ocupado ese día, las mesas estaban socialmente distanciadas y nos sentimos lo suficientemente relajados como para disfrutar de nuestra comida. Cote Brasserie suele ser una apuesta segura para una comida y si consigue una mesa en la ventana es aún mejor. Tenga en cuenta que cobran un 12. Cargo por servicio del 5% al final de la factura. Creo que deberían hacer el pan como un complemento, como estoy seguro de que lo hacen en Francia.
