We enjoyed a great meal at Cote Covent Garden. Excellent friendly service and great value food. Special thanks to the Manager for moving us to a quiet table. We'll be back soon! Kevin and Richard

Table position was dreadful very dark and in the back, which felt like it was under the stairs, given that we booked months ago. Menu was ok scallops were good but the cheese brûlée to start was not good tasted rubbery and old. Sour dough is the only bread available and it tasted stale. Portions of steak and chips were tiny. I felt underwhelmed with this meal. I wouldn’t book here again.

We booked Cote for a special occasion. A family member's 85 th birthday. The service we received was exceptional. Even though we were in central London somehow it felt like a "local "restaurant where all the waiters were very friendly,looked happy to be at work and they really made us feel looked after and ensured we had a lovely time. The food was great too. Can highly recommend . Cote you do a great job.

You can't really go wrong with Côte, as always friendly and professional service with great tasting food. Certified by Coeliac UK they are a great option for the Gluten Free traveller. The cost is slightly higher than some restaurants but you get what you pay for, the excellent food and great service are worth it.

Vinimos aquí para cenar antes de la ópera, y estábamos horrorizados de ser conducidos por un empinado tramo de escaleras a una zona de "comedor privado" sin ventanas, donde estábamos completamente solos. He comido en Cote regularmente antes de la RoH y nunca supe que este espacio existía, es una reminiscencia de los baños que también están abajo de una escalera! Inmediatamente dije que era infeliz y que no quería comer allí. Tuve que insistir, pero todo el crédito al personal por resolverlo muy rápidamente, y luego pasar a ser bastante maravilloso y acogedor. Fue genial que una visita que podría haber sido muy incómodo y desagradable, se recuperó y en su lugar se convirtió en la comida encantadora, amable que los cuatro esperábamos! La comida principal era encantadora, al igual que el vino y la selección no alcohólica - entrantes y postres eran un poco deslucidos, pero en general estábamos contentos y el servicio más que compensado por ello. Muchas gracias al personal, que fue infaliblemente amable y servicial - esperamos volver a cenar, pero sin duda vamos a hacer una nota que no queremos comer en un sótano (! ) . Sugiero que realmente marquen esa área en la reserva, para que los clientes sepan que serán subterráneos, y consideren hacer algo que realmente tome la naturaleza sin ventanas del espacio y lo haga sentir opulento y acogedor, en lugar de olvidado.

Had dinner here with my wife and two children (14&16) after a day in London. There are steps up into the venue on two side of the building. There may be a disabled entrance available if a member of staff is asked. The venue is very smart and the staff were friendly, efficient and helpful. The menu looked good and there were several vegan and vegetarian options. There was a good wine list, which also recommended which type of food they would go best with. All were satisfied with their food. All just had main courses without starters this time, one dessert, drinks including a bottle of wine, all came to £140. There are set menu 2 & 3 course meal options available. There is a 10% tip automatically included in the bill. The Creme Brulee was very good. The meal cost a fair bit but I was very satisfied with the overall experience and you do expect to pay more when in London. We have been before & will come again.

He estado yendo aquí durante años durante frecuentes viajes a Londres. Fue mi "go-to" al menos por estancia en Londres. Traía amigos y familiares para que pudieran experimentar por qué me encantaba. Como resultado de problemas familiares no he estado en Londres en un año. La primera parada fue COTE Covent Garden. Todo parecía diferente. Los servidores aunque muy cordiales, parecían inexpertos y el menú había cambiado un poco. Luego llegó la comida - increíblemente decepcionante - en absoluto como visitas anteriores. Las porciones se redujeron y el sabor desapareció. Este no es el COTE que recuerdo. Además, todos los comedores sintieron la misma decepción.

Caveat Emptor! We dared arrived 30 mins prior to our booked arrival time of 6pm. Even though there we numerous tables open in the restaurant, the Maitre'D insisted that we sit outside in the cold and wind, while waiting for our 6pm booking time, because "the restaurant was crazy busy"... We ended up sitting outside not wanting to lose our booking, and looked onto one of a number open table inside the restaurant - whihc remained open and unused until we were seated at the exact samne table inside at 6pm. No explanation from Management, and a "cannot be bothered" atitude was extremely disappointing. Not how you want to kick off an evening at the theater. To add insult to injury, the Maitre'D then continued to give tables to random walk-in customers after 6pm - which we could see hahppening, because we sat right at the entrance.

No recomendaría Cote COvent Garden, debido al mal servicio del personal, la calidad media de la comida y los precios relativamente caros debido a la proximidad a los teatros del West End. Evita llegar temprano - nos atrevimos a llegar 30 minutos antes de nuestra hora de llegada reservada de 6 pm. A pesar de que había numerosas mesas abiertas en el restaurante, el Maitre'D insistió en que nos sentáramos afuera con el frío y el viento, mientras esperábamos nuestra hora de reserva de las 6 pm, porque "el restaurante estaba locamente ocupado". Terminamos sentados afuera, mirando a una mesa abierta dentro del restaurante - que permaneció abierta y sin uso hasta que nos sentamos en la mesa exacta Samne dentro a las 6 pm. Ninguna explicación de la Dirección, y una actitud de "no se puede molestar" fue extremadamente decepcionante. No es como quieres empezar una velada en el teatro. Para añadir insulto a las lesiones, el Maitre'd continuó dando mesas para caminar al azar - en los clientes después de las 6 pm - que pudimos ver que sucedía, porque nos sentamos justo en la entrada.

They were absolutely delicious—flavorful, beautifully presented, and prepared with real care. The staff was exceptional: professional, friendly, and genuinely welcoming, making the whole experience even better. From start to finish, everything was just perfect.

Standing in door, about 5 waiters and waitresses ignored me until I called out and asked if they can seat me, at which point the waiter looked at me blankly. I was seated finally at the bar while table was made ready, pushed past by bar staff, the lady who sat me there came and pushed my chair in and told me it is too tight! The cheese souffle was liquidy, no taste. Confit potatoes, I could not eat. Too much parsley or whatever was in there, a very weird version of hash browns. Praline tart was dry and ice cream tasted of nothing. Never again

Full of pre theatre bods (like us) getting a swift meal before trotting off to the relevant show. A bit squeezed in with next table having 5 seated for a table that was tight for 4. Due to the busy time attracting a waiter was a challenge, but not impossible. Probably more fun if not going to the theatre after! But experience was not unpleasant.

We have dined at cote for many years, be it in Windsor or Convent Garden, the staff have always been great (although short staffed in Windsor, bad management not bad staff) we can understand high running costs ie rent, rates, high energy bills, rising minimum wages etc forces restaurants into cost cutting overdrive, but the food quality has now dropped below acceptable levels. The Chicken liver pate used to be the best around sadly no more, the pork belly substandard, the sauce in the moules mariniei just not right anymore, and don’t get me started on my favourite The calamari, The first to go was the lovely Tartare sauce now replaced by some cheap burger sauce, the calamari themselves used small in size, covered in breadcrumbs and deliciously presented with an amazing taste, now they are a massive onion ring like concoction, the breadcrumbs have gone now coated in batter and served greasy and with an unappealing taste . Rant over, please change back to the old quality food.

We were lucky to get a table, as we didn’t have a reservation and the place was busy in the lead up to Christmas. Thankfully, we didn't have to wait too long but our table was right next to the door and we (me, in particular) were in a draught each time the door was opened. There was a bit of a curtain across the door but it didn’t really help. Given that we hadn’t booked, we couldn't complain, though. Not booking a table at such a popular restaurant is a lesson for the future!! We really liked the menu and struggled to choose. In the end, I opted for the cheese soufflé to start and followed it with the fish parmentier whilst my friend started with the brulee camembert and had confit pork belly for her main. We both agreed that the food was utterly delicious and authentic. My friend said the pork belly was so tender and melt-in-the-mouth, with perfect crispy crackling, whilst my fish parmentier was really tasty with lovely distinct flavours. Portion sizes were good and we both thoroughly enjoyed the food which was served piping hot. Including a cafe latte each (decaf for my friend and ordinary for me), and a 10% service charge, the bill came to £72.44 which, given the quality of the food and the restaurant’s prime location, was reasonable. Overall, the combination of delicious food, comfortable ambience and decent prices impressed us and it’s definitely somewhere that we'd visit again (with a reservation, of course!).

I’ve never been a fan of restaurant chains…. until yesterday ! We met up with some friends who were in town for the weekend and my partner had been to Cote before, but not this one. Upon entering there was an air of laid back professionalism and the decor and ambiance was so much better than any chain I’d ever been to. We sat down and a friendly waiter took our drinks order, bottle of Cremante and bottle of Merlot, which were reasonably priced, especially for Covent Garden ! We placed food orders and 10 minutes later our starters arrived. All were excellent, good size portions and well prepared. My calamari was fresh, the batter was light yet crunchy and it came with mayo and lemon slices. I thought it excellent value. My 3 companions also enjoyed their choices. My main was Moules Mariniere. Very good portion of fleshy, perfectly steamed mussels in a white wine sauce with just a hint of cream so that the mussel liquor still came through. This came with perfect frites. I eat this in many restaurants and this was as good as any, better than most. A rib eye steak cooked medium was enjoyed and the other 2 mains were also good. No room for dessert as the portions were of a good size. Pleasantly surprised with the bill which including 10% tip came to £180. So £45 each. Remarkable value anywhere these days but for central London, exceptional. The staff were well trained, courteous and efficient: all in all a lovely 2 hour lunch. I will definitely be returning and can highly recommend.

Poor Management / AVOID AT ALL COSTS Booked table for 4 three weeks in advance. Arrived earlier but only allocated with a table for 3. Complained to manager, but she said it was allocated by the SYSTEM and it was full, nothing she could do. If not because I was meeting friends from overseas, I would walk out. It gave me backache. BTW, main courses were very small. Taste were average. Offered c.10% discount due to the table but added back 10% “discretionary” service charge. What a joke! AVOID this Cote at all costs!

I never gave someone that low , but with my all respect it was well deserved this time! We came today and there was only two groups in front of us. I went inside to inform them about us as we were only two so they can note us down on the list like what others did In front of us . Anyway, I went inside and I spoke to the lady as I told her by the world “were two waiting outside, is there any table for us in the meantime” she immediately interrupted and said we do t serve outside on any table . I told her were waiting in the queue.. I'm not asking for outside table . She said alright we don’t have then cream caramel 😅. I was really shocked with her attitude, she immediately wanted a reason to tell us no . I told her we’re here for dining having our dinner! She said sorry we have problems snd I cant offer you a table. Not that she was accepting walk in as we asked all groups Infront of us and behind us. I was really shocked again cause she spoke to me in a manner with an angry tone and attitude Infront of all the people … shame on her really, were here to dine not asking for free food!! I told her what problems of me not sitting, she responded be cause we have delays in food😅😅. Again if thats the case why its only us when all others are going to be seated and accepted. I want to note I have been to cote in previous years and it was the best but because of what happened today we will no longer come back. We never got treated in london in such a manner, this was a racism as we were only ones arabs at the queue… Im so disappointed and a shamed of what happened really ..

I had a pleasant Christmas dinner at this charming café with a French-inspired vibe. Although I experienced some issues with the online booking system, the kind and efficient administrator at the café resolved everything on the spot, which made for a smooth and welcoming experience. The food was good and complemented the festive atmosphere nicely. I tried their non-alcoholic Christmas cocktail, but I wouldn’t personally recommend it—it tasted more like a sweet compote. That said, I wasn’t feeling my best and avoided regular cocktails, so this might have influenced my preference. Plain water would have been a better choice for me. A special mention goes to Rahul, the waiter, who was polite, attentive, and made sure everything went smoothly. The café’s location in the heart of the theater district is also a big plus, adding to its convenience and charm. Overall, I enjoyed the evening. It’s a cozy spot with good food, excellent service, and a welcoming ambiance. I would recommend it for a relaxing meal.

I have never left a 1 star review before but my experience on Sunday evening was truly disappointing. When I came in I was immediately met with hostility, being told that I was to sit outside. When I reinforced that we had a reservation, we were finally sat down. There was no steak frites (how?!?!?) and the waiter mixed up our burger order, getting neither one right. The glass of wine I ordered never came. Add in the fact that about 5 glasses broke behind the bar, we had the feeling that we were at the Fawlty Towers experience down the road. It looked like that the staff all hated each other due to the constant chaos and bickering on the floor. Côte is a reputable chain but this branch puts shame on its name. Avoid.

We enjoyed a pleasant lunch at Cote, chose combination of starters and sides. The cheese soufflé and broccoli garlic were particularly good. Nice selection of wines, chose a muskadet which was lovely. The staff were particularly helpful and pleasant.

It was my first time at Cote , at Tavistock Street the atmosphere was peaceful, relaxing, cosy comfortable chairs I ordered Calamari( on point) Starter: baguette with salted butter ( very good) Main: salmon, the sauce was starting to set, and the brocoli was yellow the salmon was a bit dry The best was the Dessert ( Grande Macaron)

We were dining with 2 friends- we were all old customers of Cote - happy customers The day we went, everything seemed even better . To begin, Covent Garden is a pleasant are and the atmosphere reflected it Then the service- from start to finish, just lovely. Attentive and speedy. The food - excellent. All 4 meals were even better than we expected. More “gourmet “ than anticipated Thank you Cote - we left very happy Robin 3 of us had the steak- frites not listed below

Great atmosphere with delicious food. You immediately feel at home when you enter the restaurant. The service is very friendly and quick. The food is high quality, tasty and beautifully presented. The portions could be a little larger, but that's the only complaint. Feel free to come here for a relaxed breakfast, we will come back!

what an experience. Definitely 10/10. 13 of us had a meal for my daughter’s graduation. Every starter. Main course. Dessert was excellent. The lady who served us ( so sorry I forgot your name ) went above and beyond to make this day so special. Again. I cannot thank you enough. Would highly recommend Cote

Welcoming, warm atmosphere, attentive staff, delicious food, a thoroughly enjoyable first visit. The restauant was pleasantly busy, but the service was prompt. Sometimes inquiries about whether you're enjoying your meal can be formulaic, but Anna, who looked after us, seemed genuinely keen that we have a good experience, and quick to respond if we needed anything.

Very good experience because we were in a hurry as we had to see a show. The service was fast while remaining very attentive, the dishes quality. In short, we ate well while respecting our tight schedule. I will return more comfortably another time to enjoy it more.

We visited here on a week day for dinner. Do book in advance as it is popular for dinner. There are many options available if you don’t fancy the steak and also a vegan option. I had the beyond meat burger which was really nice, the fries were perfectly cooked and a side of Mac & Cheese which was delicious. The rest of the group had the steak, all of which were cooked to their liking and added sides of fries to their meal. Service was really good and very friendly, they give great recommendations and check in with you throughout the meal, will definitely be visiting again.

A very enjoyable visit having just seen The Comedy about Spies at the Noel Coward Theatre opposite. As a party of four, between us, we had a mixture of both the two-course and the three-course fixed price menu (each offering a choice of four starters, mains and desserts). I can particularly vouch for the options of French Onion soup; Pork Belly; and the salted caramel ice-cream. Food was of a good quality and good value at £21.50 two courses / £25.50 three courses. We were seated in the downstairs room (no windows). Service was fast and efficient although the word 'brusque' also springs to mind. 10% optional service charge is automatically added to the bill. Toilets were kept clean despite being rather small for the number of customers seated upstairs and downstairs (who also needed the facilities post- and pre- theatre trips).

We ordered starters from the main menu and then the mains and dessert from the set menu. The starters were really good, but the mains were really disappointing. The portions were small, and it seemed the food was cooked in a hurry even though the restaurant was not busy. The taste was a let down. One of the staff members dropped some ketchup on the floor and didnt even bother to apologise. Overall I would skip this restaurant next time
