Cote Brasserie - Muswell Hill in Haringey

I know it is a chain but the food was good for my liking, and feels very French and authentic. The price is on the high end but it is worth it, for its atmosphere and it's service too. One of the better branches from this chain. The Prix Fixe was good value if you fancy the options for main.

We visited Cote this evening and I couldn’t rate it highly enough. We ordered from the Prixe menu which is excellent value for money, food was great and I was even given extra toasted bread for the parfait. Staff were very attentive and friendly- will be back again soon!

Thank you for having us today! You definitely could make my daughter’s birthday special!

I have been to this restaurant with some friends and we had a very good time. The food is affordable and delicious, specially the desert and the salad. The staff are very nice and polite. The atmosphere was calm. We were one of last people going out of the restaurant. I just think they should improve the facilities such as toilet.

Very friendly and professional staff. Good food and atmosphere is prefect.

Was pleasantly surprised at the quality and value of the Prix Fixe menu. Highly recommend the chicken and pumpkin soup courses.

Never exceptional but pretty reliable. The bread is good quality. Steaks on the prix fixe were small and a bit chewy, and the salad was a bunch of coriander, which is unusual. Puddings are rather small: a quarter of a banana on a banana and chocolate crepe is a bit mean. But the service is fast, if patchy.

Thanks again Karina!! Top notch service from her. Lovely dinner with family and food was great as usual.

We lived a pleasant experience. We were a large group and I think that made the service a little slower than expected, but overall it's a good place.

This nice restaurant is one of the Cote chain and well located in London’s Muswell Hill area. It is of a good size with comfortable seating and excellent staff. The menu is varied and you have plenty of choice for various dishes and courses. The wine list is good and prices (on London terms) acceptable. We have eaten at a number of Cote outlets over the years and never been disappointed with the quality of the meals and the service provided.

Lovely posh French restaurant, with rang of dishes, desserts and drinks to choose from with on hand attentive staff who were friendly and kind. Top of the range quality food that has been excellently crafted to perfection. Enjoyable experience and would definitely come again.

I had an amazing dinner on 28th september at this branch food was delicious. Friendly staff and fast service.

Our plan to spend the evening at the restaurant was more spontaneous than planned, after a workday. We went to Cote, were warmly welcomed, had a delicious meal, the atmosphere in the restaurant was so cozy, and we returned home happy :)

we had the set menu with 3 courses because we just found the price hard to beat, the cocktails were reasonably priced as well. my grilled chicken was a little dry but the sauce was to die for and staff super friendly and attentive (but not too much) - we had a great time, thank you!

French Onion Soup was amazing...great cheeses, too...👍👍

Visited on Saturday to celebrate our birthday and as part of a pre-show dinner at the Ally Pally. We were pleasantly surprised by the glasses of complimentary fizz, wasn’t expecting that! The service was efficient and the timing between courses was spot on. We had three courses and each course was absolutely divine - faultless in fact. I also noted that the people on our neighbouring table were equally delighted with their choices. I ordered a couple of cocktails which were just as expertly made as the food. The cost I thought was extremely reasonable particularly as the quality was so high. Like many restaurants now they automatically add a service charge. I actually prefer this and I was more than happy to add an additional tip in appreciation of their efforts. This was our first visit to this part of London and to this branch of Cote but we would visit again in a heart beat. Thank you Cote for giving us the perfect start to our birthday celebrations.

We arrived for Sunday breakfast and as ever, the food and service was amazing. We were served by Erphan, a very friendly and gracious host. Food was served fairly quickly and everything was cooked to perfection and well presented. I love the deal where for just under £15, you also get a hot drink as well as a juice with your choice of breakfast. Everyone we spoke to there are helpful and friendly with a good atmosphere. I asked for some sauce with my breakfast but did not need it as everything tasted wonderful without it. When we finished, Erphan gave us time to enjoy our drinks and did not feel rushed. He is real credit to the Cote family and like other team members there, always professional and friendly. I can highly recommend this Cotes for an excellent dining experience.

It was a great experience for our group.

We had a great dinner last night, food was very good and Karina was very helpful and professional. We’ll definitely come back

We came for dinner here on Friday evening. Our food was great and the ingredients were fresh. We had a very good french red wine with our mains. The service was fantastic! We didn’t have to wait long for our food to arrive and a very nice lady Karina looked after us very well.

Fantastic food! Everything was fresh, very delicious, and fairly priced. Service was also really polite and attentive.Thanks also to Gokay for his interest. Will come back and would strongly recommend!

Was excellent good service and good quality food. Couldn't fault it

The service was incredible and all the staff really lovely. Food was average though and hence unfortunately would not recommend.

Delicious food. Ismal's recomodation's were second to none. The pairing of food and beverages,, truley outstanding. 1st class🏁

Food was great and fresh ingredients. However the service was excellent! Worths mentioning that they really looked after us even when we had a drink and a portion of chips arriving late. Well done to the stuff!

It is always a very pleasant experience visiting Côte, Muswell Hill. The staff are always friendly and professional. Natalia's wine knowledge is excellent and reassuring.

Came here today to take my Dad for Father's Day. So it took over an hour for our main course of the Father's Day menu to arrive....probably wondering 🤔 why I still gave a 5 star rating for food and service. Well the Manager Sven was just absolutely fabulous, apologetic and rectified our frustration and what we thought was going to be a bad experience. He and Antoin was so attentive and ensured we were compensated for the long wait and reassured us of the challenges they had but made sure we left with a good experience. After what could have been our last visit now will definitely be a repeat visit. Thank you so much Sven and Antoin . We'll see you again!

As usual the service and the food was great, with Nyomza serving us in a really professional and friendly way.

Excellent menu and service- Karina looked after us very well. One of our party is a wheelchair user and her needs were well supported by the staff. This restaurant offers good value for money.

My girlfriend and I like coming to the Cotè Brasserie in Muswell Hill quite a lot. The service is good and always friendly,, I love the Plat Rapid,, Steak and Fries,, absolutely delicious. It's a great place to come for any occasion.

We went for lunch and met friends. The service was terrible! Waitress very impatient and rude, not clear when asked to explain how the menu works, was huffing and making faces and tutting noises. However, the food was good.

We go to Côte generally for family birthday celebrations and the experience has improved of late. We have been welcomed and mostly served by Gokey who makes this a very enjoyable experience for us. He is very attentive without hovering and can’t seem to do enough. He is an asset to the venue and we are very glad he is there.

I had breakfast in Muswell Hill brunch, and it was absolutely delicious. Staff was very amiable, and the service was amazing. Also, the best deal for breakfast, £13.95 for breakfast, and 2 drinks. Check it out as it's worth it! I look forward to comeback here and to try another delicious meal. They have the best deal xx

A lovely St Valentine's evening, our thanks to all the staff who worked so hard to make their customers feel welcome! POSTSCRIPT Very occasionally even the very best service standards slip, through no fault of anyone's, it just happens. So this visit was to recompense us for a previous visit where we had to gently complain about the food served us. It always pays to discreetly raise this with management rather than going direct to make public one's complaint. I contacted Cote and raised my concerns and the meal on 5th April was Cote's opportunity to make good on our complaint; and the Muswell Hill team surpassed our expectations. Thank you all, and we will be returning again. Thank you all in the service team that evening (especially the manager with the gorgeous shirt of which I was extremely covetous!!!)

There was a guy greeting us , I think he was the manager soooooo dreadfully rude !!!!!! Wouldn’t let myself and my friend sit where we chose to dispite the fact the restaurant was totally empty ! Outrageous disgraceful way to behave !!!!!! it was my birthday and he spoilt the whole experience ! I’d never set foot in there again ! Disappointed and the worst restaurant I've ever been to DONT GO !

Perfect for the big family celebration we had. Delicious food and attentive service.

I had a very pleasant visit. Service was amazing, my steak was cooked to perfection.

Good quality, delicious food, well presented. Lovely staff, it’s particularly nice when staff like Jomza remember your favourites. We’re regulars and absolutely enjoy and look forward to our brunches there.

Below average restaurant food I’m afraid. Unfortunately has to send back my ox cheek and mash as stone cold. Went with a party of seven and waited for nearly an hour and a half for the main course to be served. I’m afraid this is a perfect example of why one should avoid money making chains…

We’re regulars here, we love the food - fresh, well cooked, presented, and the ever so helpful staff (especially Jomza) who even remember our food choices.The brunch here is our highlight for the weekend (there’s a fantastic ongoing deal too), and lunches and dinners are delightful too. Well done team Muswell Hill.

Excellent eatery with a rustic bistro feel. Highly recommended.

We came for dinner here for my wifes birthday. I booked for and early supper on a Friday, it was easy enough to park for free down one of the side roads which was helpful. With the booking i told them it was my wife's birthday. They gave us a glass of complimentary pink fizz and my son an non alcoholic version. It was a really nice touch and one i was not expecting. My wife an i ordered of the pre fix menu and my son ordered off the kids menu. Both menu have a nice select and are great value. I had the salad to start and my wife had the fish cake. My son had the calamari. They were a decent portion and delicious. We all had steaks for main but my wife and i upgraded to bigger steaks with a a £3 supplement. They were so good, they were out of sirloin so gave us rib eye steaks as a replacement. The food was cooked perfectly and so tasty. The quality for the price makes it great value. We all got desserts of the set menus and my wife got a candle in her mouse that she ordered. The staff were great and atmosphere and decor were spot on. Definitely be back again.

While the service and atmosphere were great, the breakfast was may be the worst I had in my life. I got the ‘cote breakfast’, food had no taste (besides the cherry tomatoes).

It's a cote which is always good. Simple menu great prices quality food.

We were warmly welcomed to our table and the ambience was warm and friendly in the restaurant. The choice on the menus was good and suited our various dietary requirements. Our waitress was very friendly and the food and drinks arrived promptly. All in all it made a family meet up a really nice afternoon.

Horrendous food! My partner and I went to Cotes, Muswell Hill for dinner. We ended up very, very disappointed and my partner had to tend to an upset stomach the following day. I ordered the warm beetroot salad, where the flavour only came from the mayonnaise drizzled over it. For my main I orderd half chicken in a creamy mushroom sauce. When it turned up the chicken had no seasoning or colour and the sauce was like water with no cream and barely any mushroom. It was awful. No flavour whatsoever! I returned the dish. I then opted for the Duck lè orange, which wasn't amazing. The sauce mildly saved the pre-cooked, warmed up dish. My partner had the fish pie, which was very small in size for the price. It was dry and unfulfilling. All the food is pre-cooked and either warmed up in the microwave or oven. Nothing is cooked fresh. The food is of very poor quality and tasteless. The restaurant itself wasn't cleaned very well and some surface areas around where we sat were dusty and had food crumbs that hadn't been cleaned up. I cannot recommened this location of Cotes restuarant.

Went here for a meal with three older family members. I didn’t want much so didn’t go for a starter, though the other three people did. They went for the price fixe. We all had the Steak Frites (minute steak with chips) which came with garlic butter, There was also a little rocket on the plate. I found it delicious. I have a severe allergy to fish so we just asked if the chips were fried in the same oil as fish (they aren’t). I would have liked slightly more salad. However, I didn’t feel it was expensive. The table we were given was a little tight and I needed help from a member of staff to get up, I’m disabled so I often have some issues.

Online booking the evening before our lunch was really helpful. The staff were really friendly and courteous. Very good food served promptly. Lovely atmosphere.

I find the tables for two are too small to be comfortable. Staff very nice. I ordered the cote burger which arrived over done, was never given the option to choose how I wanted it cooked. When I informed the waitress she told me this was cote policy as their supplier advised cooking it well done! I am surprised at this and have never come across it before?

We were very satisfied with the menu. My son is vegan, my husband avoids gluten but we all had lovely meals! Very friendly and courteous staff as well. They made us feel at home! Definately will visit again!

This is one of our favourite restaurants in Muswell Hill. The variety and quality of food is excellent. Their creme caramel is the best in London. The staff is consistently professional, friendly and always smiling. We would like to thank especially Svet and Yuliyana who usually serve us - they are both amazing! Highly recommended!

Even though the restaurant was buzzing when we arrived, we were wormly welcomed by the host and quickly sitted on a really nice table. We did not had booking I must say. Impecable service and great experince. Food fantastic! Highly recomeded!

A Disappointing Dining Experience My husband and I recently visited Cote in Muswell Hill and unfortunately, our experience left much to be desired. I had the two-course meal, with seabass fillets and potatoes. The seabass seemed to be pre-cooked and reheated, resulting in a cold and lackluster dish. Meanwhile, my husband ordered a steak tartare that he found it ok and for main sirloin steak which he said wasn’t good, not a good part of the meat and cold Our dissatisfaction peaked with the apple Tart tane dessert. £14.95 Not only was it overcooked and black Apple inside The total bill of £94, including a £24 bottle of wine, felt disproportionate to the quality of the lunch experience. While we understand that not every meal can be perfect, we believe diners should be able to enjoy their time at a restaurant without significant disappointments. We hope this feedback is constructive and that improvements can be made to enhance future patrons' experiences at Cote

Great Caffee and great food. I enjoy o lot.

We dinning in cotes regularly, and always find it a good experience very good value of money, friendly staff Muswell hill branch is especially one of the loveliest to visit .

It didn’t start well. The waitress was not particularly friendly with no smile . I sat down and she placed the menus on the table and barked out the specials . Did not ask me if I wanted a drink . Ten minutes later I still had t been asked if I wanted a drink or if I wanted to order . The restaurant was not busy so no reason for this . I left to the surprise of both waiters who were chatting . Neither asked me why I was leaving . I won’t be going back .

Very clean customer service was good and food was absolutely unremarkable

Thank you for making my mum's birthday so special. Delicious food, good service and friendly staff. She was very happy : )

Excellent food and charming waiter.

This has to be my favourite local restaurant, very pleased with my visit this evening. The food is delicious including the vegetarian options, the service is outstanding as the staff are very attentive, welcoming and friendly, ensuring everyone at the table was comfortable. This is great restaurant to celebrate special occasions or just to enjoy beautiful food. I cannot wait to visit again. Thanks guys! :)

We came for the set new years menu. We had a reservation and got seated right away and got our drink shortly after. Our food came quickly after we ordered and we had a much needed time gap between main meal and dessert. All the food was lovely and the service was prompt even though it was busy. We would definitely visit again.

Good food and excellent service from the Muswell Hill Cote. The main restaurant is busy and bustling but there are quiet spaces too. Book ahead to avoid disappointment

It's great to try food you wouldn't necessarily cook at home, or prefer nitto dirty your kitchen. Staff are always friendly, with efficient service. Muswell Hill is a great place to walkabout, popping in and supporting the independent shops.

Nice decor, very good food and handled gluten free really well. Nice attentive staff. Poulet frites delicious and some nice festive choices too

The manager was very friendly all way thru. The waiter who looked after our tables was an exceptional young man. We all were very happy and I was thanked by all my friends who attended the lunch. Thank you.

Good food. Reasonably priced. Acoustics make it quite noisy

Lovely spot for lunch but the service is slow and lack of communication as before hand l was told l could pay with cash and towards the end they said only card is accepted which was frustrating

Does not accept payment by cash, but this is NOT on the menu, it is NOT on the website and the staff do NOT tell you this until you go to pay. Management need to sort this out. This practice is discriminatory.

Food is an acceptable standard for the price, but service lacking.

After 80 minute wait we finally got our overcooked steaks. No one stopped by to ask about our food, additional drinks, sauces etc. The French onion soup was tasteless and small portion. At one point a waiter came by and brought us dessert menu thinking we have already eaten our main course. Incredibly disorganised team! Cote went down the hill since the acquisition back in 2020.

Such fantastic staff. Really giving wonderful customer experience. In particular, a lady called Njomza. A real credit to the company! Big thanks.

Lad brunch with my eldest daughter,it was banging I think the bloody Mary probably helped

Pleased with the service, we had a very lovely dinner.

We went for a birthday celebration. Received a complimentary glass of champagne for everyone to start with. Great food at a reasonable price and excellent service. Special mention for Jean, the maitre d who was extremely welcoming and charming. Highly recommended.

Had a lovely evening! Friendly staff. Suzi was very attentive and gave us good recommendations which we was really pleased with. The food was all delicious. We ordered baked, camembert and mussels and fish pie which were all delicious. The only thing I would fault is the turkey on the seasonal menu which was very dry. Had to ask for gravy which surprisingly did not come with the dish which helped a little. Thank you and look forward to returning, Djemal

Large party so service wasn't especially quick but the food was good

The new manager Jean is excellent! He made us feel very welcomed and the services was absolutely amazing. We will definitely come back and we will highly recommend it to our family and friends. Thank you

Fab dinner. Duck perfect & mushroom dish were excellent as was the service.

Met up with a long standing friend for lunch arrived at noon and they would have been opened at least 30mins prior. I'll cut to the chase the service was poor. In addtition as the lead friend I felt as person of colour second rate. My white friend was asked her order first. I thought this was the attitude of the first waitress, but then on asking for my order which was delayed after my guest had her starter the second waiter again turned to my guest to ask their preferences. The food delivery was slow, and my chicken no longer showed any resemblance to its original state. I should have asked for the service charge to be removed but was too polite. All together a dissapointing experinence and given the new eateries in Muswell Hill this will not be my first choice again.

First impressions were quite good. The service was okay. I would give them seven out of ten. The food, not just mine but all who were with me had something negative to say. We did complain and the response was terrible. It’s like we were wrong. They said the food was perfect. Some of us said we had to eat some of it and that’s why we know it’s below par on quality and edibility. The customer service at that point took them down to one out of ten. I do not recommend this restaurant as from all angles of hospitality and food fail.

The food was generally good but they got our order wrong on one of the sides and the pork cassoulet was a little disappointing as the meat was all fat. The atmosphere is always warm and inviting.

A cute restaurant for date nights…. The staff was welcoming

I had very good experiences from previous times at Côte Muswell Hill. This time, very disappointing: food was ok, a bit bland, service was not good at all, rushed and not professional. Doubt that I would ever go back for dinner here..

We went for a dinner and had a wonderful time at Cote Muswell Hill. The atmosphere is really good service are amazing also very nice food, they are really friendly great job from the team. Definitely back. Thank you

We had a great evening, food and drink were excellent and the atmosphere was great

The most lovely staff, they are all very helpful and kind. The food was fantastic and even the coffee is really good quality. I highly recommend!! Danny

Great value for the price. Delicious food and excellent service. Shout out to Gukai that made the whole experience even better!

Food was great as well as the service. Would definitely come again.

We loved the experience from beginning to end! Food was delicious and the atmosphere peaceful. Thank you to all the Cote front of house staff & chefs. We'll be back!

The waiter called Uri was very attentive and polite! In addition to his great service, he went an extra length and lent me a charger for my phone. The whole team is superb! When one staff wasn’t around, the other took the order ever so quickly!

I have been charged kids food which he couldn’t it. It was awful. Their explanation was worse. Service quality is very low. Never come again.

couple of weeks ago - the mid week special for 2 course is a steal - great food and lovely waiters

We came for breakfast this morning and served by Mr Gokay. Everything was perfect. He helped us in the menu and ensure that we had best experience there. Thanks

The service was amazing. I really had a beautiful, heart watering cup of hot chocolate. I loved it. I’ll be back for sure. Thanks

This is a great restaurant, especially Gokay, one of the employees, took care of us at lunch. He was incredibly nice and kind. We have many reasons to come again. Thanks Gokay and Thanks Cote… ✌️

Delicious lunch today in celebration of our 40th wedding anniversary. Excellent service

It’s a great experience. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. Delicious dishes,beautiful presentation,wide wine list and wonderful desserts. A big thank you to Natalia, she was amazing, very attentive and welcoming.I recommend to everyone!

Fantastic dinner and excellent service from Gokay! Would highly recommend

Great food and service. Thanks to Gokay for his attention. It was our anniversary with my wife and we enjoyed a lot .
