Fabulous meal in Coté last night. Great choice of food and drinks.We had the calamari which was tender, sweet and well seasoned and the crab which was light and excellently balanced with red onion cutting through the richness. For mains we had the classic Steak Frites which is a classic for a reason and the poulet Breton which was so flavourful and tender. Wines, Kia Royales and service were all faultless. A great meal

We only stopped for a coffee. We ended up having a coffee but then ordering champagne as a night before pick me up! We were served by Ethan, who was a delight. Professional and polite with a welcoming Welsh warmth. We sat outside and on this occasion we only stopped for drinks, which were excellent. The service was great and all staff welcoming, helpful and friendly.

Cote in central Cardiff is normally excellent, especially for breakfast which is when I usually visit. There's a good range of options for breakfast from the traditional bacon and eggs, to eggs royale and pastries and French breakfast. The staff are usually helpful and friendly. The restaurant opens from 10am which isn't obvious. Most recently I dropped in at 9am, but was greeted by a stroppy member of staff who filled me in about the opening times. I probably would have waited until 10, but didn't like the person's attitude so decided to go next door to another restaurant. It opens at 9, by the way.

Conveniently located on the walk between the train station and the shops. Ended up here on an early visit before we moved to South Wales. Now a trip to Cardiff would not be complete without a break here even when just for a drink. Great location, friendly staff and somewhere just to watch the world go by. Ended up on the same outside table twice within a month. Yesterday, our new Glaswegian staff friend was on fine form. A big shout out to Melissa for, not just picking up my left behind phone, but then locating us down the street and returning it straight away. Many, many thanks.

Everything was more than good, really nice welcoming staff, lovely surroundings, everything spotlessly clean. Best breakfast I've had in similar restaurants in the city centre. I had the full breakfast, my partner had the French breakfast, both equally good and most importantly - really good coffee. Our waitress Melissa got the level of attentiveness just right. Really positive experience.

Met up with a friend for lunch in Cote and were seated in the window as requested. Everything seemed Covid compliant and safe and we enjoyed their 2 course Prix Fixe lunchtime deal. I enjoyed the Grilled Asparagus/Poached egg starter and then Steak Frites with some peppercorn sauce (my favourite in Cote). My friend's starter was Pork Terrine but the sourdough with it was rock hard, and inedible without losing some teeth, so we complained but they just gave us free coffees afterwards. Her main of chicken was fine. The staff are always well trained and very polite and helpful with recommendations. We enjoyed our lunch especially after such a long Lockdown in Wales. Cote in the Bay is excellent aswell and somehow feels more French in appearance than the huge Cardiff Central one.

Mientras pasaba 3 noches en Cardiff, quería un buen lugar para desayunar. Como era un día cálido y soleado, una zona al aire libre también era buena. Cote Brasserie encajaba perfectamente.Excelente lugar, excelente comida ya un precio razonable también. Dentro y arriba se abre a un maravilloso comedor. Si nos hubiéramos quedado más tiempo, definitivamente habríamos reservado para una cena.Solo busque el cargo por servicio agregado automáticamente, el precio aumenta un poco.

Cardiff es quizás ahora una de las ciudades más vibrantes y emocionantes de Gran Bretaña con tantas inversiones en los últimos años. Histórico y moderno al mismo tiempo. y una ciudad universitaria con tres universidades así como un conservatorio con instalaciones de última generación y cerca del mar. Un montón de cafés y bares que durante estos tiempos de Covid han hecho todo lo posible por cumplir con las normas de distanciamiento social e higiene. Inusualmente, este es el tercer empate en las últimas dos semanas que he estado en un Cote y debo decir que este se destacó debido a que su personal fue de primera clase, amable y servicial. Muy bien dirigido y el personal parecía realmente feliz. Altos estándares de higiene y comida bien presentada y cocinada. Lo siento, no vivo allí, pero espero volver cerca de Navidad, se permiten las restricciones de Covid.

El restaurante y las instalaciones estaban escrupulosamente limpios y las mesas bien espaciadas. Pedimos dos filetes y un pollo asado con guarniciones y tres postres. Los bistecs estaban cocinados EXACTAMENTE bien y sazonados a la perfección. Con un restaurante tranquilo, parecía como si tuviéramos nuestros propios chefs personales altamente capacitados y camareros para la noche. Los postres y una copa de vino se sumaron a la maravillosa experiencia. ¡Literalmente no podría haber estado más feliz! Gracias Cote.

Lugar agradable pero concurrido en el centro de Cardiff, sentado afuera para disfrutar del aire fresco. Buen menú, buena comida, pero intentaron cobrarnos de más por una suma de 9 GBP. ! El camarero, que tenía la personalidad de ser probablemente gerente, retrocedió rápidamente cuando nos negamos a pagar esa cantidad incorrecta y sacó la cantidad correcta después de que indicamos qué comidas y bebidas teníamos. ¡Una mejilla real y un día más húmedo!

Cote en Cardiff siempre ha sido uno de los restaurantes favoritos de mi pareja y yo. Comida de buena calidad a precios razonables. Una de las cosas que extrañamos durante la crisis de Covid - 19. Me sorprendió descubrir una opción Cote at Home donde una selección de sus comidas estaba disponible para entrega a domicilio. Pedimos una comida con ellos, junto con una selección de carnes de su carnicería. Gran éxito y un regalo maravilloso para nosotros. Como beneficio adicional, el medallón de cerdo de la carnicería fue uno de los mejores trozos de cerdo que he probado en mi vida. Realmente recomiendo este servicio como un regalo especial.

I was so very happy with the beautiful food we ate today at the Cote in Cardiff.A Crisp kir royale aperitif, followed by good crevette salad, and a crotin well served with Walnut and crunchy apple. This is food lovingly presented and served and as good as anything you will eat in la Belle France. We drank a smooth easy drinking Merlot as we feasted on veal escalope and I had the haddock, it was served so lovely and hot it was a joy to burn my mouth on it. I also adore the tomato salad so delicious. The service we received was impeccable throughout so I have no hesitation in recommendinh this restaurant as one of the top 50 in Cardiff. Bon appetit.!

I was so impressed with my visit to this place. I hadn't booked a table but they were able to fit us in quickly, explaining the location of tables that were left.What really impressed me was the quality of service. As we were seated they told us immediately what wasn't available which sounds simple but not many places do this!We were offered appetisers while we chose from the menus. I was also impressed how they remembered what we each ordered - when the food came out they never needed to ask who ordered what which shows great communication between the different waiters. The food was delicious - we had starters and mains and thought each meal was well presented and tasted just as nice. Good quality food and drink for a reasonable price. The location and atmosphere of the place was also really nice. I really can't praise my visit enough - would highly recommend!

We met up with family midweek for a birthday lunch at Cote in the Cafe Quarter in Cardiff. The staff wished the 'birthday girl' Happy Birthday and presented her with a Kir Royal as soon as we sat down which I thought was a nice touch. We all had a good meal from the Lunchtime 2 course menu. We enjoyed our starters (the Tempura battered Zuchini was very good) and three of us enjoyed our Steak Frites for main the other person had fish and said that was good too. Wines were great. Atmosphere was buzzing and it has that nice feel of a French Cafe. For quality of food, I find Cote one of the better Chain Restaurants but I wish they included bread in the set menu as complimentary (as they do in Bistrot Pierre) and also I don't like the 12% tip being added on at the end. That should be down to the customer every time.

"Would you like an order of bread? Olives?" "Sure." No mention that lots of bread and olives came with the meals we ordered...It would have been a little more candid had the wait staff mentioned that, and we could have saved a couple bucks for a tip, which, by the way, would not have been left, because although there were only two of us, this restaurant automatically charged 12.5% to our tab as gratuity. I won't be back. Well, and then there's the salad - which was fine, but for the ground end of the lettuce which was, well, old and brown.

We arrived just a couple of minutes before our booking time and were shown to our table immediately. It was a Saturday evening at 6.15pm so the restaurant was busy, but nowhere near full. We were given the menus and water as requested, but were then ignored for 20 minutes. About 15 minutes after us arriving a couple were seated behind us and our waiter then brought them drinks and proceeded to take their food order. At this point we got up, gathered up our coats and three shopping bags, still to be ignored by the waiter. I explained to the manager at reception why we were leaving, he was apologetic, but the damage was done. There must be a dozen restaurants within a minute's walk of Cote, so the service ought to be top class. We returned to the Novotel and a great meal there.

Amid all the fast food places in the middle of Cardiff is this gem. We had a very pleasant meal of French dishes done well. The house wines by the glass were excellent and our waiter was pleasant and professional .

I ordered a late breakfast, which was great. It came with real orange juice and coffee which I enjoyed. The Eggs Benedict Florentine came with 2 poached eggs, lots of hollandaise sauce, brioche, ham and spinach. Delicious and very good value. Staff were friendly and helpful. A free newspaper was supplied. Recommended.

We had great food here they a special 2 course menu for £11.95 ! My husband had the chicken and pork terrine and smoked haddock fishcake ! My daughter of 15 loves her moules and frites! I had the steak and frites ! £2 extra but worth every penny! My daughter and I had the iced berries with white chocolate sauce delicious but the berries were a bit sharp!

I generally like this chain, but this one blights the brand. Vichyssoise was fine, but the chicken breast for my main course was dry and completely bland.

Para ser sincero me ha decepcionado un poco. No me malinterpreten, la comida era agradable, pero mi esposa tuvo que preguntar dos veces antes de que llegara el acompañamiento a su comida.

Don’t be fooled by their stated commitment “to produce authentic French classics freshly cooked to order.

I was very impressed with the extensive menu for gluten free meals here. I chose sea bass as its my favorite in a sauce with finger carrots. It came with a little gluten free sticker. Its was delicious Will be back here soon when I next have a mega shop in Cardiff

Went here for breakfast today and ordered the vegetarian breakfast and the full english. Both were so tasty and came with a coffee and a juice for just under £11. Definitely recommend.

Had a lovely meal here on a busy Friday night. The staff were attentive and friendly without being overbearing so well done to them. Food was cooked extremely well, we had calamari, parfait for starters followed by a steak and veal for mains all washed down with a bottle of white served chilled.

Sirloin steak with fries and a bottle of wine. Restaurant was half empty considering a Thursday evening. Gave it a try and so glad we did. Would recommend this eatery to most who like to make the most! Price wise average and not over the top.

Good service, good food, good location. Set menus offer great choice and good value. However, the Lobster Frites was expensive and didn’t provide the value usually offered by this chain.

This restaurant does what it says on the tin - good brasserie food. The food choice is wide and enticing as is the wine list. Service is friendly, fast and slick. Filtered water supplied in attractive ceramic flagons on the table. The special menu deals are good value for the quality of food.

We were so pleased by our first visit here for a Saturday lunch that we returned on Fathers Day for breakfast. Unfortunately we didn’t receive a repeat performance. On the Saturday we had a range of dishes, all presented quickly and perfectly prepared. Sadly the following day was characterised by very slow service and poorly prepared food - what a contrast!

I'd walked past it several times and my friends and I chose it on a busy Friday night. We arrived at the tail end of their all day special 3-course menu (ends at 7 pm) and the choices on that menu were inspired. I enjoyed the omatoes and goat cheese for a starter. My steal main was perfectly cooked (medium rare) and the grlic butter was outstanding. I substututed the fites for the Gratin potatoes (pro-tip). The wine was excellent and topped of my three courses for (£18.95) with the excellent peach crumble. Staff were attentive and a small mix-up wih the veg had it promptly removed by them from the bill so they really hustled. Excellent experience. I would go again.
