Cote Brasserie - Cirencester in Cotswold

Great service lovely food. Always enjoyable great staff . Fabulous chocolate mousse

Excellent service and food. Very pleasant atmosphere. Possibly more crowded in the evening but lunch was a very enjoyable event.

Lovely food and brilliant service.

Food was nice and service attentive. Good value meal out

Went for Breakfast, which was amazing. Food, Service and the atmosphere were all fantastic

I organised a celebratory meal for my work team, we were welcomed and attended to so warmly. The food was fantastic, but it was the atmosphere that I would come back for again and again. We had a 3 course meal, a few glasses of wine and everything was perfect. We didn't feel rushed, and we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves.

The best eatery in Cirencester, so good I can't believe it's a chain. Food cooked to perfection, great drinks selection. Brilliant staff.

Great restaurant great food and ever changing menu they have an excellent value lunchtime menu that runs until 7.00pm orders. Today the service was so slow it took over an hour to serve the starter and we gave up waiting for the desert at an hour and 30 minutes. They were very apologetic but it scewed up our plans for the afternoon.

Very good service, felt very welcomed and looked after.

What on earth has happened to cote. Staff lovely . But o my goodness the food is less than good . Waited 20 mins for crepe desert to come out it was cold . This has always been the place to eat in cirencester but will definitely not be back

Food and drink on point , service excellent but don't take cash ! Which was a bit embarrassing and a hassle when I came to pay .

Worst meal I've had in a very long time Really poor quality ingredients. Some of it inedible Very disappointed. Decor was beautiful but the restaurant was empty which should have been our first clue. Steak wasn't aged, unchewable and badly cooked. Dauphinoise potatoes were left by the other diner on our table as they had no flavour or texture. Charcuterie started consisted of two small pieces of prosciutto and a piece of toast. Won't return.

I am usually very laid back with everything. I visited this restaurant on Sunday with my partner . The lad that served us was a nice lad and felt he was under some pressure. The starter (baguette) took 35 mins to arrive. And was stale. My partners French onion soup was cold. Then my ribeye steak was poor/ cold and could barely manage to chew through it. Really disappointed especially as we paid around £80’for this meal.

The food is best in town. Atmosphere and service are exceptional. Igor was very knowledgeable and well detailed about every menu item! We returned next day and it was great again!

I love this restaurant but my wife and I both thought that something was missing from the Beef bourguignon sauce. Not the usual rich complex flavours.

Cote never disappoints but this is a particularly brilliant branch. Its large size defies belief considering its small frontage but nonetheless the service is great and the food excellent. It’s very good value, always reliable and served by super staff. What’s more they have a small number of tables inside where you can eat with your dog. What a blessing. We will be back soon.

We were well looked after from start to finish by our waitress. She gave excellent recommendations and couldn't do enough to ensure we had a lovely time. The food was amazing as always, and the team are just brilliant every time we visit. There is a reason we come back so often.

We couldn’t have asked for a better evening! The food, the staff, the drink - everything was perfect

There are lots of great places in and near Cirencester to dine - cote isn't one of them. The service was slow, the prices high, and the portions small. To be fair, the orange duck was tasty, which redeems an extra one star out of my original intention to leave 1/5 stars. I will not be back, and I recommend that anyone else looks elsewhere for a quality meal.

Great food, very helpful and pleasant staff with a fantastic atmosphere.

Visited a few times over the last year, but on our last visit, we found that the standard seemed to have dropped on the food, and flavours were just not there. Which was a shame.

I ordered the sirloin steak and it was cooked perfectly. The greens were fresh and crispy. The wine and dessert were wonderful.

Always made to feel special when visiting Cote. Staff are smart and attentive.

Lovely garden setting with gorgeous food. Waiter very attentive.

Great food, great service, special mention for Rich

Food was really disappointing. The staff were great & the atmosphere was lovely. My girlfriend ordered the Tuna Niçoise & asked for the Tuna steak to be cooked well done. Sadly it came out rare, so this had to be sent back only to have the same piece of steak re warmed. I ordered the chicken dish which was OK. But the fries were very tasteless & most definitely frozen. I wouldn’t return.

Ribeye steak cold , and then a replacement took 30 minutes, absolutely shocking. The reaction of the staff was couldn’t care less

Lovely lunch for three adults, mixture of set price menu and other options. Service was fast and quality of food exactly as we have experienced in other Cote restaurants. Value for money was in my opinion excellent. Staff were lovely and attentive. Thank you.

We had a very enjoyable meal. The French beer and wine was also very pleasant and prices were acceptable. Staff were great. Also please note Cote is dog friendly

French onion soup was thick brown porridge. Scallops sliced thinly dried out and cold , possibly left on the pass. Ribeye was tastless, shame as its a beautiful cut. Bellypork was small with a very heavy fat content not were nice. The coffee was like dishwater had to get another shot and the brandy was served in a small square edged glass, extremely disappointing. I was there with my family and a guest so didn't feel comfortable mentioning this on the night.

Staff amazing , food delicious, very well presented & hot. Went for partner 65th birthday & they brought him a birthday pudding , such a surprise for him 😊. Lovely atmosphere in the restaurant too .

We had the fixed price menu, my starter was a salad which arrived looking very unappetising, limp aged lettuce leaves etc. The sea bass to follow was fine but the fried potatoes & the courgettes weren’t cooked properly & looked old. A very disappointing lunch. The best part was the ice cream. My partners food was fine. We’ve eaten in various Cotes & had lovely food. This was very disappointing

It was disappointing that when I request oat milk or any other plant based milk, I was informed that they don't offer that kind of milk. We ordered the offer of hot breakfast that it was ok and included coffee, juice and the plate. However, when we requested the bill, they "decided" to charge us per item. We obviously challenge this and they change this with a "You want to be charged as per the offer price". We thought that this was poor customer service and no willing to come back

Ironically, the best food I have had in England is French... Great food at a reasonable price.

Some lovely vegan options and service was amazing and friendly. Mushroom bourguignon was amazing and very recommended. They have outside seating that catches the sun nicely.

We have visited the Cirencester restaurant before and always had a pleasant meal. On this occasion we had a lovely birthday dinner with family. I use a wheelchair so it was nice that the staff was on hand to help without fuss. Thank you to the staff at Cote Cirencester!

Amazing experience as usual! So attentative and cautious of me being pregnant as well! Showed us to the coolest part of the room and brought us complimentary drinks for our anniversary!

Excellent service, lovely food 🙂

Well done, great food & service

Delicious meal and excellent service, with a lovely decor and atmosphere. The Baked Ratatouille was absolutely stunning.

Food is realy good all cooked to with perfection

Visited last night. Very nice ambience and decor and friendly staff. Had the special offer as new to the group with complimentary sparkling wine which was beautiful. I ordered the pork belly which was cooked very well as were the delphinouse potatoes. My wife ordered the beef bourgogne. Sadly it was inedible as it was full of sinew and gristle. We spoke to the head waiter and he was extremely apologetic and immediately offered a new dish. The second one she had was perfect. We shared a dessert which was very nice. All in all withntwo extra drinks ordered and bill of £68 is very good. However I object to being given a bill with a service charge already added. We always tip if the service was good, which it was on this occasion. However to add it to the bill assumes we are satisfied which is presumptious to say the least. I woukd definately return again

Absolutely wonderful experience at this côte restaurant in Cirencester. The people who served us were cheerful, polite and very helpful. The meals we ordered were first class and thoroughly enjoyed by both of us ! If I had to be picky, I would comment that the sauces to go with the steaks were miniscule and although delicious were far too small for a decent serving. Apart from that, the place, the food, the service and ambience were top notch and not extortionate in price too... I would highly recommend.

We dropped in for a late lunch and we were looking forward to it as it was so good on our last visit. It was pretty quiet but we were shown to a table and food and drinks orders taken Our drinks arrived fairly quickly but we waited for at least 45 mins before I asked where our food was as by then the tea was cold. Our food then came my salmon dish was dry the rocket wilting and the bernaise sauce gloopy and salmon void of flavour To be fair when I complained the dish was taken quickly off my bill The place was dull and had lost its spark - pity as the staff were friendly enough

Top place, value for money, though wine and cocktails make up half the bill. Check service charge. You do not need to pay it, though it helps if you go there a few times a month... improves experience. Last time, though, the waiter moved too quickly, which was a surprise, and dropped three whitebait on the floor.... Will return as other Cirencester eateries try too hard and are not that good as food and service aren't really all that good. TTFN

Wouldn't return, service was shocking. Asked 3x for a drink with 1 of our main meals yet didn't receive it. Table of 6 pre booked ages in advance. Was other large tables Inc one of 13 on a busy sat night but totally understaffed front of house . Mains came quickly after starters that our plated hadn't been cleared and utensils not replaced. Atmosphere was loud and rowdy not really what you want when you go for a nice meal.

The new fixed price menu was extremely good even better than the previous one and it represents excellent value for money. The service which accompanied the meal was also faultless.

Absolutely excellent food and service, a group of 4 had an amazing 3 course meal including scallops, steak, pork belly and braised cheek bourguignon, I cannot fault any of the food, the service was also excellent.

Lovely food and very good service

Great meal, lovely atmosphere. Service standards had dropped since last visit, still friendly just a bit slower, and less on it!! Portions are also smaller but that's not a bad thing!

Lovely and clean, excellent atmosphere and the staff were friendly. Couldn't fault the food either. Also the cater fir gluten free and have a separate menu.

Been to others but this one seems more authentic as it's smaller. Service was amazing

The service is always great and Rich our server was superb. Charismatic and attentive without being intrusive. I’ve worked in hospitality for nearly 20 years and I strive to get my team to his level.

We had a great dinner here on our travels trough Cotswolds. Everything tasted great, including the wine. It was an enjoyable evening.

Lovely ambience and good food choices at reasonable prices but they're a bit stingy with the sourdough 'slivers' served with pâté and crab starters and the cheese

A chain restaurant with tasty food and lovely environment. Like the Pan-fired Sea bass and cresp. Will come back when visit to Cirencester next time.

Didnt have high hopes as this is chain restaurant, however we had a superb meal and the food really is first class, I couldnt fault it. We will visit again.

A lovely place for a family meal. Food was impressive - it might be a chain, but it had an authentic French feel, souffle served properly hot, but not greasy. Cheese plate for dessert good selection and ample portion. Fish stew fresh and hot. Plenty of steak options. Nice cocktails including nonalcoholic options. Service attentive but not intrusive. I would definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful dinner here - tried 6-7 dishes, all was very delicious, i think it’s one of the best eateries in this area

Party of 10 attended for a birthday lunch. We only ordered mains, no starters. Waited over 45 minutes for them to come out. 3 breakfasts came out first, almost 5 minutes later the other mains came out, meaning the 3 people who had their food first were sat waiting whilst it went cold. I ordered a rib eye steak and whilst it was tasty, I ordered it very rare. What i was served was medium. However, I was too hungry to ask them to change it, so just ate it. Nobody checked to see if our food was okay after it was served to us. After our mains, they gave us the desert menus. Again, nobody came to check if we wanted to order anything. Thankfully nobody did. They did have a lovely chap playing the saxophone, which was nice. Would not recommend Cote Cirencester.

Lovely dinner, everything perfect.

It's a lovely place to eat with friends. Unhurried service, great atmosphere, good food and great value for money.

Came in for breakfast. We both enjoyed our meals. Service was very good.

Food is always excellent at Côte and great value for money. Service is good and something for everyone in the menu

Lovely meal in the sunshine. Good service

Delicious food, great service and friendly staff.

Elyse who served our table was so welcoming. We visted for my mums hen party and Elyse made her feel super special. Early in the day i had dropped off decorations for the staff to put on the table and when we arrived it was decorated beautifully. Elyse was Very friendly and attentive. All 6 of us said how brilliant she was at her job. I really wanted my mum to have a lovely night and she did and part of the reason was because of the reception she received at Cote. Thank you Elyse 😊

A lovely evening, staff were very friendly and helpful. Menu was good...in fact almost too much choice😂 A really good experience and we'll be back

Nice restaurant with more seating than it appears when you first enter. Menu for food and drinks is clear and reasonably priced, some sharing options. My only criticism is that the waiter didn't repeat back the orders and our group of only 7 didn't get to eat all together. Ironically it was the tuna dish that was delayed!

Great food, nice service, everything was fine

Great place and I recommend it 🙂🙂

Great food and service i will return soon

Lovely restaurant with good ambience and friendly staff! Will come back!

Thank you, fantastic service, lovely food Definitely i will be back again

Perfect place for food and drink Best experience ever Thank you Anna for your service

Delicious French food. It was a bit noisy but OK for a busy restaurant.

Sadly I won't be going to cote again after today in the cirencester restaurant. It's just not what it used to be, and I've been a loyal customer for many years, mostly at their Richmond branch. The steak frites was so small, like a child's portion, the side salad looked like it had been scraped off someone else's plate, and was again, tiny. And this was the full price version, not their special prix fixe. If that wasn't bad enough, almost a quarter of my steak was fat. I would normally have sent it back and complained, but was with a teenage foreign student and didn't want to embarress her. It cost £45 for two, and I don't like that service is put on the bill without asking. I was still hungry afterwards and obviously wish we'd gone somewhere else. We only sat there as we had a dog with us, and the girl with me wanted moules frites....they'd run out! I used to love it, it was busy, so obviously lots of people still do. But I'm done with cote.

EVERYTHING we tried was absolutely delicious. We are here on vacation and we’re thinking about returning tomorrow night for our last night instead of trying something new because of how much we enjoyed our evening.

incredible food, great service, Lidia was amazing. Would absolutely come back. Thank you from the Aussie and swede and the noisy dogs

Beautiful restaurant, delicious meals, our first visit but we will be back.

Definitely more like pub food than bistro. Staff: We received no warm welcome on arrival. Getting service was very difficult, and we had to shout to passing waiters to be seen. Menu: There is very little that's healthy on the menu. Food: Delivered cold on cold plates. Dessert had been sitting ready to be served for long enough for ice cream to melt and pastry to go soggy. Not terrible but not what I'd experienced at other branches.

A great place to eat in Cirencester with very helpful Staff and an imaginative Menu....!

On arrival, we were given a choice of table, including a street-facing window one. This would have been a perfect place to people watch, however, it was such a grey and rainy day that we decided to have a table in the heart of the restaurant. We were given an appropriate amount of time to browse the different menus including the prix-fixed menu and the specials. Our starters - crab Maison and Toulouse sausage - were served quickly. The crab was absolutely delicious, a real taste of the sea in your mouth. The Toulouse sausage was rich and rustic. Following on from this, mains were moules frites and ribeye steak with frites. The moules were divine in a beautiful creamy wine and garlic sauce. The ribeye was cooked perfectly rare as requested. With no room for dessert, the bill was just over £88 including 10% service charge (service was excellent) for two starters, two mains, two glasses of wine, one non-alcoholic cocktail and one coffee. Will definitely be revisiting! Update: Another wonderful meal. For the table, baked cambert and sourdough bread with olives. Cambert was very mild tasting and not very gooey so that was quite disappointing. Breton chicken gratin was cooked very well in a very good sauce. Moules were very good, all cooked very well. Overall, another great experience.

The food here was really tasty, everyone on our table was happy with what they ordered. There was a good range of food. What stood out though was the service from our waitress, who calmly coped with our demanding table of 8, and served with a smile! Would definitely come back again.

Had such a great dinner with my boyfriend Food was insanely good, service was perfect & staff was very attentive. Especially the lady manager who made sure we enjoyed our time and has everything we needed thorough the meal Cote is our favourite spot in Cirencester and will definitely keep coming back

A wonderful birthday evening at Côte. The staff were very attentive, and the food was excellent. Definitely recommend, and definitely want to come back. The service was just excellent. We were celebrating a birthday and after our food the manager had bought us over a dessert platter for my partners birthday. It's little touches like this that make us want to return and really made our experience. Very good!!

This has to be my favourite Côte! I was celebrating a little achievement last night and you all made it feel so special. The food was excellent — the new rainbow crudités and warm tomato salad are delicious additions — and it always feels like a treat coming to you, but last night you were all on form. Thank you!

We had an excellent evening meal earlier this week. Good greeting and service from the start to the end of the meal. I had chicken and my husband had pork belly after a soup starter. Both meals were beautiful. Although it was a Monday evening it was quite busy and had a good atmosphere. When we return to Cirencester we will definitely revisit!

Just a lovely place A bit pricey but you pay for quality

Food overall was pretty good, not outstanding but good. The service, however, was poor. We were greeted by a young guy who clearly didn't want to be there. Drinks just dumped on the table, and no interest in talking or going through the menu, nothing. Everytine we looked up he was on his mobile phone. Order for food consequently went through to the kitchen wrong and one of the dishes arrived incorrect. They did put this right, but only after us chasing for the replacement. They were more interested in giving us the bill and going home. Would not return due to the poor service here. There are many other options around.

Generally good. Couple of things could be better. Forgot the garlic bread. Chocolate fondant came with Strawberry Ice cream not Vanilla. Yuk and not as described.

Went here for a Mother’s Day dinner and was really delighted by the food, atmosphere and staff! Will definitely be back, thank you! 😄

Our lunch was on Mothers Day, with 4 generations in attendance, and bearing in mind how extremely busy it was everything about the food and service was great. All staff were doing a fantastic job under huge pressure working together as a team throughout, well done and another big thank you to all!

Excellent service fine food and good atmosphere would recommend a1

Lovely place, lovely food and customer service! I would definitely go back!

Despite being very busy our welcome was bright and genuine and the service throughout excellent. Hats off to the Chef - the dishes were very flavoursome. We had the 2 course fixed price lunch menu.

Nice steak tartare, very good value.

Excellent food, service and general friendliness. We first visited a few weeks back when in Cirencester and another (seemingly empty tapas bar) nearby said they couldn't accommodate us both. We had dinner that night and came back the following. Both times everyone and everything was excellent. We decided to visit for my birthday and the place was very busy but the usual standards were there albeit service was a little slow. A busy, bustling restaurant is a good sign and I personally would recommend it and it will be a place we frequent.

Our number one choice when we want to spoil ourselves.

Fantastic Sunday Breakfast! Amazingly friendly staff, great quality ingredients, and well cooked. All in all, a brilliant morning well spent at Cote Cirencester. Thank you ❤️
