Cote Brasserie - Kensington in Kensington and Chelsea

I Had dinner at this restaurant on 21st of Nov. Location is beautiful The food was delicious, especially the steak frites calamari were awesome. MANISHA was so attentive and friendly Big thanks giving to her. If you looking for variety and taste I Would highly recommend this restaurant for you.

Really excellent evening with great friends - from the minute that Adam, the manager, showed us to our table the evening was superb - thank you, John

The best cream caramel you will ever taste

Fast service, very good food, pleasant atmosphere!

Manisha was fantastic. She recommended unique cheeses we hadn’t tried, each one a perfect choice. Her knowledge and enthusiasm made our meal unforgettable. Food was very good too!

The food was great, the service as well.

Lush! Every experience has been fantastic.

Excellent friendly service. Good food at a reasonable price. Nice atmosphere. Great place to visit when going to the Royal Albert Hall.

Dined alone, got my starter and drink order take . After finishing the two, 30 minutes pass. I go up to the from to order my meal and my second drink. I finish my meal. 30 more minutes pass. I go up to the front and ask if I can pay my bill so I can leave. I’m not sure what the issue was. Solo diner? American? I watched people get dessert, finish, and get their bill before I was asked if I wanted another drink. The food was wonderful, the service was lacking 100%. If you want good food I recommend this place. If you want good service, this place offers it. But do not expect both.

From Natalie the manager at the entrance to the waiters Om and Sahil at the table. Everything was stunning, amazing welcome, spotless service, even the bartender Ben was polite and knowledgeable, Incredible experience!! Surely I'll be back!

The restaurant is crowded The service is good Halal food options are few Bad chicken salad Onion soup tastes bad Salmon is good Caramel is the best

We walked in because the atmosphere was cute, but left very disappointed. After being seated, we waited almost 30 minutes for the server to return to take our drink order and only returned with water, but not our drinks. The beautiful ambience was not worth the visit. The drinks were fine, but the burger was easily the worst we’ve had. To be completely fair we are American, but neither of us are very picky but still were not able to finish it. It was only two of us waiting very quietly, but the server seemed irritated that he had to speak with us. This restaurant is in a beautiful area so I would recommend going elsewhere.

I ate the best meal of entire trip in England, Paris and Brussels. The food and staff are amazing. Cote is my favorite places to eat in London

We both had options from the set menu 2 courses. The starters were fine but we both opted for the mackerel as main. We should have sent it back as it was quite strong smelling. However we trusted the kitchen and didn't. Low and behold within a couple of hours we were unwell! And the mackerel was the only thing we'd both had! (Scombroid fish poisoning, an allergic-type reaction that occurs when eating fish contaminated with high levels of histamine) Not the most pleasant experience...so be warned. We did let the restaurant know by phone not to continue to serve it. Sadly this not the experience we were hoping for to end a lovely day out in London.

Great sitting outside to have breakfast. They have blankets for you for cold days. I ordered the Eggs Benedict and it was excellent along with the coffee. I recommend it.

Unfriendly and inattentive service. Ordered two steaks medium rare - got one very rare and one well-done. Definitely overrated and overpriced for what it is and what it is rated here.

Fish was stale, they didn’t refund, gave a random discount card. Be careful about dining here.

Nice place to go for drinks or breakfast ( I don’t know about lunch and dinner) ate the English breakfast which was nice and there was a meal that came with it where you could choose any hot breakfast with any juice and hot drink for 15 quid I think it was.

Cote is our go to restaurant and this one is of the usual high standard. Great food and service at a reasonable price. Make sure you don't go into the restaurant next door, which we did and is easy to do.

We found this place on Google maps, and we’re looking forward to going here, did not disappoint. It was so good, we’re even going to come back tomorrow.

Awful staff unhelpful and downright rude

Great good and friendly staff. Delicious scallops and confit duck. Staff happily accommodated special requests for our party.

I really miss Cote Brasserie in Glasgow so we were super happy to find this one in Kensington. Popped in for lunch and it was excellent. Just a really nice vibe and great food. We shared whitebait to start... super light and tasty. Then salad nicoise and caeser with french fries. A little glass of red wine! Lovely staff too. Thanks

Love going here before a show at the Albert Hall.

Set menu offers good value. The waiter (Robi) took the time to speak with me, recommending a wine to enjoy with my meal (great choice!). Service was efficient and friendly.

This is one awesome restaurant! The service is top-notch, very attentive, always making sure that everything is top-notch. The food is delectable. I highly recommend this place as an eatery.

Excellent service from Isai, I was delighted, the site was recommended, I wanted to come back again 100%

Excellent place, I loved the food, especially the attention of the very friendly waiter Isai.

The mushroom bourguignon is amazing, it is perfectly flavoured and the texture is excellent, it couldn’t be any better. The service was good (although slower than expected, as it was not busy the day I went), but the cocktails and starter (I’ve had the crab maison) were average. Overall, an excellent experience, and I will definitely come back at some point.

It serves French dishes and specializes in breakfast

I tried the cream caramel and it is worth trying and repeating 👍🏼👌🏼

The experience was almost perfect. The food selection was fantastic and we all found something suitable and quite enjoyed the meals. Desserts were also very satisfying. The servers were too notch and helped make the experience a great one. The only challenge I faced as a solid man was that the chair I was seated in was more like a bear hug around me than a comfy seat. If you are 200+ pounds I would ask to be seated in a more spacious seat. Would not let that deter anyone from going. This place truly was worth the visit.

Ordered a green salad with avocado with the pan fried salmon. Thought salmon could have been seasoned better. Took about 30 minutes to get order placed. The place may have needed more help. The waiters and waitress were sweet. Great location! Right across from the Royal Kensington Palace. Hubby ate there as well. He had the same meal and he wasn’t impressed. Spent a little over 30 euros for one salad and one salmon meal.

We had a lovely birthday lunch in Cote Kensington! The service was excellent! The manager and the whole team made up feel very welcome! The food was great, especially the Warm Chocolate fondant! Thank you

Great service, good wine. I loved my beef bourguignon. But the filet mignon of my spouse was a disappointment. First, it was overcooked - we asked for medium rare and received medium. Puzzlingly, they came up and asked if it was undercooked, if we wanted it back on the grill. It was also quite tough. It would have been tough even if not overcooked.

A delightful French restaurant in the middle of London! Excellent food and a very attentive staff. The decor of the restaurant is just lovely. It was a fantastic experience, one every visitor to Kensington should enjoy!

Nice food, nice drinks and warm staff.

Pretty average if you ask me. Portions are way too small for the price. Service and food were ok. Probably wouldn't come back.

4 people ate for £110 service included. That day it was full and it took them a while to serve us, but then everything arrived on time and on point. The food was very good, and the attention was impeccable. Highly recommended if you are in the area.

The food and atmosphere were amazing! Krish was our server and he was attentive and very nice! Actually everyone there greeted us. My friend was gluten free and they had a great menu! We had starters, main course and dessert! You can’t go wrong! Will definitely be back again!

The restaurant serves quality French dishes. Very professional staff. Recommended for a causal dinning experience.

Loved the coziness & the taste of food was amazing! Definitely try onion soup. Wine selection was great as well - they even have Emily in Paris favorites🤣

Great restaurant that caters for gluten free requests admirably.

Amazing food, cocktails and service! Manisha took very good care of us, couldn’t wish for a better experience!

We usually go to this franchise a lot, but we had never been to this one and frankly a 10, especially the friendliness of the staff, we will definitely repeat

We enjoyed the atmosphere and team hospitality and service. Prakriti helped us a lot with our order and she made us feel home

I honestly couldn’t rate my experience here more highly. It was my dad’s 78th birthday dinner before we went to the Proms at the Royal Albert Hall. We were given free fizz on arrival for myself and my sister and dad. We had a great table. The food was delicious- the staff were just so friendly and attentive- the manager was so nice - our waiter was so friendly- the lady in charge of the section was so lovely. We had a candle and a happy birthday song from all the staff and diners. It was honestly one of the best experiences I have had in any restaurant for a while - particularly in a chain - restaurant - I have worked in restaurants as a manager in London for the last 25 years Thank you so much for a wonderful experience

Portions are too small for price. Taste is good, but nothing special.

Amazing food Very friendly staff The best crème caramel ever

The food was not authentic French cuisine and Breton poulet was just that none of the flavour of the Breton sauce ...

A very humble and ordinary place for me 🤷🏻‍♀️ We ordered coffee and it was regular and caramel cream. To be honest, it tastes good, but the level of cleanliness is low.

Excellent service and the staff went beyond what was expected to make sure we enjoyed our meal. The food was delicious, we'd highly recommend.

Nice and friendly staff!!! The food is normal.

Landed in London at noon on a warm-enough spring day, checked into the Marriott Kensington, spent the afternoon at the V&A, and topped off it all off with a beautiful stroll through Kensington for dinner at Cote Brasserie, Kensington. The outdoor seating area is beautiful, but we sat inside at a cozy 2-top. Our server was absolutely wonderful, charming, funny, and full of great menu recommendations. My French onion soup was unctuous, with a perfect amount of cheese. The tomatoes on the salad had a nice sweetness that was set off with a tangy vinaigrette. We both had steak frites, seared to perfection, nice and pink in the middle. Fries were thin-sliced and piping hot. It was a lovely first meal in London.

We had our first dinner of this London trip here, and it was perfect. It was an easy, lovely walk from the Marriott Kensington, the service was amazing, and we had a sophisticated meal in a gracefully stylish location with all casual ease.

We had our choice of sauce that was served in a crock on the side so we could sauce the steaks as we saw fit. It was a lovely first meal in London.

I had a wonderful experience 😊. Firstly, the food was extremely tasty. Every dish was executed to perfection and the flavor really came through. The staff were extremely friendly and the atmosphere was pleasant. I would definitely recommend back. Highly recommended to try them 😋😊

Post-prom lunch on busy Sunday. Arrived earlier than our booking but efficient manager found a table close to front entrance, ideal for two who wanted to have a conversation.(The tardis-like interior is large, dark, warm & full of families I found out on trip to basement loo.) I had a salad, followed by pan-fried trout; companion had a crab maison starter followed by a Breton seafood stew. All enjoyable, if unremarkable., washed down with sparkling water & 500 ml muscadet. Total bill including service, £84:00 -not unreasonable for central London.Service, in general was slow, though maitresse d' herself was extremely competent; to pick up the idea of a Prom; a fine conductor coping with some dissonant players.

Excellent food and services. Really nice place

We had a birthday party for a large group of 30 people here and we were so pleased with how attentive and friendly Alexandra our server was. She made everything run smoothly on the night and we all enjoyed our food. Highly recommend the calamari.

Great experience and great discovery! Prakriti did a fantastic job as our waitress as well as the rest of the team. Please keep up the awesome job!

Absolutely lovely food and wonderful staff

The Stuff made this night the best I've had in Londinum. The best food I've had by a long shot! Get your self here and enjoy the drinks and fantastic Food! Very informative ,friendly Stuff and super professional Definitely coming back😊

Brilliant service! I cannot recommend enough to go to the Kensington branch! They will take care of you! Thank you Shohidul Islam your team is awesome!

Fabulous meal. Terrific service. There were seven of us (3 that had a booking

Very bad attitude from the guy at the bar and not responding while talking to him

Ben served us and was knowledgeable attentive and highly professional

Pretty good. Steak was a bit puny.

Unfortunately we were unable to appreciate the taste of the food due to the long wait (we waited for more than an hour!)

The atmosphere is great and the food was top notch with no complaints

Dreadful experience. Dismal decor, grim food, and unbelievably bad service. Our initial waiter literally disappeared during the evening/ suspect he got fired or walked out mid shift.had to chase every course for delivery. Really really bad. Cannot recommend

The service is very!!! slow: we waited over an hour for our order to be brought to us. The room was cold from the air conditioning. The waiter refused to make it warmer because the guests who arrived before us said that they were too hot. Not surprising, since they drank a lot. Nobody come here unless you want to waste an hour and a half to two hours

I have visited Cote previously but it was my first time at Cote Kensington. The staff was very warm and welcoming, loved the food as always. One of my favourite places to eat- worth the money!!

Woman very rude when serving was trying to ask my son what he wants and she told me I'm talking to him now you and snapped a few times at me and then turned and said to me now it's your turn you can speak, I would have walked out but didn't want to make a seen, upsetting

I hate this french restaurant!💀😡

excellent food but a couple of mishaps with our order that were dealt with well by staff. belly pork was fantastic

Had a great meal at Côte Kensington. Our server, Prakriti, was great and quite helpful with recommendations. Charming setting and an attractive menu with lots of variety and price points. I also enjoyed the Pillars Pilsner. I got the sirloin, my wife the trout (from summer menu) - both were great, based on our fully cleaned plates. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit, the caliber/attentiveness of staff and menu - and prices seem quite reasonable too!

Service was lacking. It was slow and when they cane around, the fast food industry was better at customer service. Our ribeye steak was very chewy, the knife could barely cut it. Other food was ok. Won’t be coming back.

Business lunch in Cote Kensington. Natalia (manager?) was great and ensured that everything ran smoothly. Will definitely return.

Classic meal, nothing out of the ordinary... On the other hand, very very slow service (we went there on a Saturday lunchtime), we stayed a total of 2 hours just to eat a main course and a dessert even though we were in a hurry because we had to visit monuments.

If you are visiting with a group, ask for Jay to serve you - he is super kind, patient and helpful! we were a group of 34 people and our overall experience was great, we will be back! Thank you Jay

It’s amazing as per usual, we would like to thanks to Jay who always serves us in the most warm and welcoming way.

We had a great experience at Cote, the staff was attentive, food was great and good value for money. It was my birthday and the staff gave us glasses of Prosecco to celebrate! It was such a special touch!

We had a lovely meal, we actually arrived 30 minutes early for our table, but this was no problem and they managed to accommodate us. The welcome and the service was faultless and the appearance and atmosphere in the restaurant was very clean, warm and very welcoming, with a nice relaxed atmosphere. The food was great, as has been our experience every time we've visited a Cote restaurant and it was also good value for money. We would definitely return to this restaurant if we're ever in the area and would have no hesitation recommending it to Family and Friends or anyone else for that matter. Great meal and all round great experience.

Absolutely disgusted by the quality of food. Burn’t out food. Hair in the food. Watery coffe, bland french toast pretty much everything was wrong with the food. Service by the staff was amazing however, the manager was absolutely unhelpful.

Food was tasty and beautifully arranged on the plate. I didn’t like the waiter, he was like a robot, but the other staffs were friendly and very attentive.

Wonderful afternoon. Incredible food and wine experience Don’t pass this restaurant

For a chain, this place is exceptional. Good food and service. Second visit- badly burnt bacon for breakfast.

The staff is wonderful and always creates a memorable family experience. That's why I keep coming back.

The restaurant was very pleasant, we had a great time, we ate delicious, without rushing, and at a good price, and the service was excellent, the waiter was very attentive

I had fixed price menu which is excellent value Chacuterie, sea bass followed by cheese board for £22.50. All lovely food. 9 of us in our party and the restaurant was full yet still had excellent service. All enjoyed food with 3 having sirloin However 2 of these with medium rare found meat hard to cut. Definitely would come here again

The breakfast is very good and we have a great time with good treatments from pretty Ula

Service was friendly, we had a delay in one of the dishes, the restaurant showed sensitivity by offering a discount on the bill. The food was good, but I thought the portions were small.

Just brilliant. Best service and food we had in London . They said they were more busy than usual , but you wouldn’t know it ! Went above and beyond with a cocktail on the house and the manager going out of his way to amuse our daughter by playing games to win her dessert . Best steak I have had in a very long time

Super quaint, in the middle of Kwnsington. Sit outside. Good was good. Raspberry mojito amazing. Dinner served quickly and had good flavor. Definitely recommend.

Yes, a very good place for food in a good neighbourhood. Boeuf Bourguignon was perfect. Friendly staff.

Nice place on a hidden alley. We went for a late breakfast and the menu was nice for the time. Reasonable portion, but good for the moment and taste was nice too. 5 stars for Robert for his great service. Will definitely go back another time.

Really good food. Very busy when we were there. The staff were friendly. Gluten-free options.

The both of us had the steak and fries which was very tasty.

Good steaks , service a bit pushy on the upsell of food ( waiter tried to convince me to buy the chateaubriand when we wanted 2 ribeye steaks ( price increase £13 ) but overall a pleasant experience

We visited as we were seeing a show at the Royal Albert Hall nearby. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left we couldn't fault the dining experience. The staff were immediately welcoming, knowledgeable and helpful. The detailed advice about the wine selection was perfect and the wine was very enjoyable. The three courses were all delicious and the steaks were perfectly cooked. We will definitely visit again.
