Cote Brasserie - Newcastle in Newcastle upon Tyne

We just has the most fantastic 4 course meal & service last night at Cote, for restaurant week, and we will definitely be back. Thank you everyone 😃

Excellent restaurant, we've tried the food here at different times of the day and the result is always the same, great food, excellent service, reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

We went for a wedding breakfast/brunch and couldn't ask for better service. The waitress was wonderful, the breakfast variety exceptional and more importantly tasty. Highly recommended!

Excellent experience with professional, knowledgable staff, excellent service and high quality food. All at a reasonable price.

Went for lunch. Pleasant member of staff showed us to a table. Both of us ordered beef cheek in red wine, which came in a few minutes. However it had obviously been kept in a very hot oven and whilst the meat was tender, it was rather dry and tasteless with no taste of red wine at all. My mashed potatoes tasted strange and sour, so tried my husbands which was OK. Overall very dissapointed , small portions and overpriced.... so won't be returning.

Outstanding restaurant. Food and service were top class. Get yourselves there soon.

Prompt and friendly service, Delicious food, Lovely atmosphere. Really enjoyed our food (I had the Breton fish stew 👍🏽😋)

We spent Silvester evening here with a great 4 course dinner, we enjoyed it a lot with our daughters.

Visited prior to an evening at the Theatre Royal. Really lovely restaurant. Warm and welcoming staff. Food was excellent with a great choice for children. Also complimentary Cremant with theatre tickets!

From the manager getting us in earlier than our booking to the lovely chap that served us and the great food as always I couldn’t recommend this Cote higher. Never had a bad meal or experience here it’s always really great and I thank them all for it.

A very central restaurant in Newcastle which is housed in a former bank is open for lunches and in the evenings Staff were friendly and food was good though a bit on the high side reflecting its location Ideal for a special occasion

Fantastic Food Service Would definitely recommend

We don't normally visit chain restaurants, however, make the exception for Cote in Newcastle. The food is fab, reasonably priced and the staff are super friendly. They went above and beyond for a celebratory lunch, can't thank them enough. We will be returning very soon.

My Son bought me her for Breakfast. Wow. Lovely food and very Friendly and Helpful Staff. I Definitely Recommend you coming here ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Cote Newcastle is our favourite branch of Cote... Always a fantastic experience.

Strongly recommend for a nice breakfast! 🙏

Easy to book on the online portal Amazing service Great food

Really like this place. The staff are super friendly and attentive. Very comfortable seating, nice ambience. Decent menu, nice food and great for a pre match meal

Food was 'ok', but certainly not worth the price they are charging. Much better restaurants in Newcastle with better atmospheres.

Very pleasant experience. The crab starter was very good, though cucumber slightly over do e, twice baked soufflé was very nice. Duck confit had a really good flavour, and very tender. The cheeseboard was very good.

Great value for money & delightful staff. Had Whitebait & Steak….. delicious. Thank you

Had a fab time with friends and will definitely go again. One of the rare place where you can find and enjoy a steak tartare. The whole meal was faultless, very professional and with a ton of fun. Thanks to Harry and team for looking after us so well. A la prochaine fois :)

I recently visited Côte and had the pleasure of enjoying a delicious English breakfast. The food was perfectly prepared, with each element cooked to perfection, from the crispy bacon to the creamy scrambled eggs. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a cozy yet vibrant ambiance that made the experience even more enjoyable. The staff were attentive and friendly, adding to the overall charm of the place. Whether you’re looking for a hearty breakfast or a spot to relax and soak in a great vibe, Côte is an excellent choice. Highly recommend!

I had to wait 20 minutes while the restaurant wasn’t busy at all, the waitress gets telling me to wait and people were coming after me and she made them wait for like two minutes and then give them a table, it was pure racism

Fabulous breakfast. So good I went 2 days in a row. The French toast stack was a must have and melted in the mouth. The eggs Benedict were also superb.

The food was very good, quite authentic. My dishes were lovely, my wife thought hers was not as fresh as she would expect. The ambience was not great but we were the last people in at the end of the night. The staff were friendly and lovely. I can particularly recommend the cheese option for dessert and the Duck a’orange was delicious.

Had a simply perfect lunch here today. Food was delicious (shared baguette followed by salmon berenaise for me and salad maison for my friend) both of us cleared our plates. And the desserts finished the meals off perfectly. Can I also add the service was just right, attentive when required, we sat and gabbed for 3 and a half hours and there was no push for us to leave. Can't wait to return.

Friendly staff delicious food great atmosphere, good value for money. Didn't feel rushed able to relax and enjoy our meal

I took my 96 year old mum as a treat for my birthday. She was treated like a Star. Very impressed.

Visited early evening on a Saturday, great atmosphere in the restaurant, we were in time for the fixed price menu, Various dishes ordered between the four of us, all cooked perfectly and well presented, we couldn’t fault it, Service was friendly and efficient, we’ll definitely return again

Both Alex and Aga were amazing, the food aas spot on and the service was even better, i would recommend anyone to go there for any special occasion or even for dinner

It was a cold wet day and the restaurant was very busy . Despite this the service was exceptional and the food was quickly served and was hot and tasty. There was a good atmosphere in the restaurant and we were made to feel very welcome . Nothing was too much trouble.

I recommend booking a table The service is fast and polite, we had breakfast - very tasty! We waited 10 minutes for the order The hall is very atmospheric, light, spacious, light music is playing, the tables are arranged so that you will not be disturbed by other visitors

I’ve had mixed experiences at Côte in Newcastle upon Tyne, specifically with their outdoor seating. While we’ve never had a problem sitting inside, the outdoor seating seems to depend entirely on the mood of the employee on duty. Sometimes, they tell us that outside seating needs a reservation, and other times they say no reservation is required. Yet when we arrive, even if there are other tables seated outside, they often refuse to let us sit there. This inconsistency is frustrating, and it’s disappointing to be told different things each time we visit. A clear policy would make things much easier for customers. While the food and indoor experience are great, the way the outdoor seating is managed leaves a lot to be desired.

Always a nice place to go with friends or family.

A pity that many items on the menu were not available

Superb place a return visit, attentive staff and wonderful food. No issue with us conducting a long lunch meeting.

Thoroughly enjoyed. Only downside was the little dry and bland scrambled eggs on my breakfast as if it had stood under heat lights. Other than that the food was excellent, esp the French onion soup which was delicious. Great coffee. Friendly staff. Cheers

Really impressed with this establishment, restaurant chains can be hit and miss and really dependant on the staff. The food here is faultless and full of flavour, the waiters and waitresses were all super friendly and enthusiastic and best of all you could just about hear the roar of the toon army when a goal was scored. We will definitely return when back in Newcastle

Had breakfast here with my son before catching my train. The gluten free French breakfast, it was very nice, I was especially happy with gf black pudding, not had it for years. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Amazing food, friendly staff, cocktails excellent. The Bloody Mary was awesome and the Moules Frite staggering. Highly Recommended

Lovely French restaurant. Ideal for pre-theatre meal.

Food was beyond delicious, my eggs Benedict was the best I’ve had in a while 🤤 and the service was amazing Will definitely go again 💯👌🏾

Our server was really lovely and very attentive I believe she was front of house. She said she hadn't lived in the area long but was very helpful and was recommending places to go for cocktails and things to see over our two night stay. Unfortunately I can't remember her name but she was lovely and a credit to your restaurant.

My favourite restaurant and the new go-to for date night. We had lovely, considerate staff and amazing food and drinks.

Lovely friendly staff and fab little gift for a birthday.

It's very nice for somewhere different with good menu, but it doesn't really change so usually have the same thing each time. White wine is great.

Very good restaurant recommend for anyone who likes a good meal

Lovely food, cracking rusks would definitely go again

Good food and service as is usual for here good value as well as friendly staff

Service was good, food enjoyable.

Amazing experience, service was the pinnacle of things to savour! Came here after the Great North Run and the waiters were all super friendly and provided a complimentary drinks without me asking. The A La Carte menu was great and definitely did itself justice in replicating a french cuisine standard. 4.5/5

What a wonderful Cote! It was a really lovely, relaxing evening with the usual delicious food and wine, with the addition of attentive and friendly staff, and beautiful interior. I'll definitely go again the next time I visit Newcastle.

A French restaurant where I only ate desserts: the cream caramel 🍮 and the creme brulee are amazing, very delicious. The service is excellent. The staff are very nice.

Visited after a you tube review What can I say but expensive and basic Staff prefer to talk to them self, service slow, managed to order a second drink when mains served . The food The scallop starter scallops had been cooked and cut in half to increase presence on plate . No sear to bottom of each small scallop in my photos . The crab starter tasted more like tuna mayo and I would guess is delivered pre portioned. Nothing seasoned Mains The duck , bland and tasteless , like a weatherspoons bagged item The beef , just boring nothing special at all and again tastes like micro bags Staff slow and spend more time talking to them self , the only time they spoke was when the card machine and 10% included tip was about . Try a local French place before this . Don’t be fooled by you tube like us .

Visited this resturant 4 times, it never disappoints

Lovely place to catch up with friends and family. Staff are welcoming and helpful and the food was lovely

The super team at Cote yesterday were understanding and helpful with our hot, cross baby yesterday, moving us somewhere quiet and cool where her Mum could enjoy her meal. Food as ever was delicious and great value. Special thanks to the lovely manager who went above and beyond to ensure we had a super lunch.

Agreed place for a special occasion!

Food is always delicious here, but just wanted to praise the service. I was there with my baby today, who was hot and bothered and wouldn't feed. I think it was a manager who helped me out. She tried to make the table more comfortable for us, and when she still wouldn't settle, she moved us into the other side of the restaurant where it was empty and quiet. I was so grateful. She was wonderful.

We tried Côte for the first time during restaurant week and had a fantastic experience! The service and food were both brilliant. We had the soup, salad, steak, and creme caramel; some of the best either of us have had. Highly recommend, will be returning!

Went in Newcastle Restaurant Week and will definitely be back again soon. Lovely food, staff and atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Lovely menu - great quality salad, chicken in mushroom sauce, and the creme caramel is divine. Lots of bread n olives too, attentive service, delish!

Brilliant food and even better service. Staff can't do enough for you. Would highly recommend. The staff really make this place...they are engaged, attentive, friendly and helpful.

We decided to try this restaurant prior to going to the theatre. The service was warm and efficient. The atmosphere was calm and pleasant. We were seated at a comfortable little table in an alcove. The food arrived quickly and was very tasty. I would recommend and would visit again if in Newcastle, or would try another one of their branches.

Anna was lovely, the service was great and the food was amazing

I enjoyed dining at Cote with friends for a late Saturday lunch. The team that served us were chatty and it was pleasant to sit sipping wine.

Have been to Newcastle Côte a number of times now. Always excellent food and exemplary service

Anna our server was amazing.. The food was delightful. The range of gluten-free options was excellent. Thank you.

I had an amazing experience at Côte. It was my first time trying french cuisine and the food exceeded my expectations! Everything was Fresh & delicious! The staff were friendly yet professional. Beautiful people, attentive and very hospitable. All-round great atmosphere 10/10! I'll be back, hungry for more. Thank you Côte<3

When I try to enter the café, a young man is cleaning the glass from the inside. I stop and wait for him to pause. He just continues scrubbing and ignores me the way I’m standing half a meter in front of him. Finally I opened the door Nonetheless and greet him. No answer. This could be a nice place but the service is very uneven. The other strange thing is they have a breakfast deal with a heartbreak, the hot drink, and the juice. But I ordered a hot breakfast and coffee. The stuff did not hint at that deal. So you have to ask explicitly to get a juice otherwise you may end up paying more for two things than you would for three I think it would be natural that the staff makes you about the deal and that in no case you should pay more then the fix price. To admit this, it certainly not committed service. Food wise my breakfast was very decent and the coffee excellent.

Dreadful moules main course, had to send it back

I was fortunate enough to have my mother and boyfriend invite me for dinner at Côte; the former of whom is a beacon of aspiration, and the latter who is a Casanovian stallion of machismatic perfection. I had, for some few months previous, had my stalwart heart set on the much-adored cheese soufflé, and dined as such, to begin. Such a perfect start to a beautiful evening. Accompanied by the light and playful nuances that only a charming Chardonnay can delight, your Breton fish stew brought a cacophony of maritime flavours to steer our courses and tantalise my saline-starved palate. To bring this romantic symphony to a perfectly cadenced crescendo was the crème caramel royale, bringing together a showcase of sweet and savoury coupled with a tasteful ‘Happy Birthday’ in chocolate dusting, that truly made the evening. Côte has always been dear to me, a favourite in the city I have loved as much as I have respected. Following this birthday meal, however, I have found that the favourite book on my shelf that Côte is, has had an inscription in all along.

Good set price lunch Shout out to Anna who looked after us She was great

Love it, always a nice spot to catch up with friends and enjoy consistently great food.

We visited for the first time and regret having left it so lone to try it! What a lovely experience, the food was amazing, the staff were lovely, very welcoming and highly attentive. Food was beautiful

Delicious food, great prices & lovely staff 10/10!

Had a few starter not much there and very basic . The staff were excellent . All in all had a good day ....

A group of 8 of us had a meal and generally enjoyed it. The food is ok, not exceptional and the price is quite high if you stray from the special deal menu. Nice wine selection and friendly staff.

Really recommend this place especially before the theatre

Excellent meal, great for a Coeliac . Staff very professional and happy with value for money. Food excellent.

Glassware on our table had splashes of what looked like gravy on it. The restaurant only take card payments, which isn’t an issue, but we didn’t realise when visiting and weren’t told when greeted or being seated. We asked for the bill, put down cash, stayed for another 5-10 minutes chatting (where the staff had plenty of time to come over with a card machine or at least just come over and let us know that they didn’t take cash, instead no one came over and just looked awkwardly from a distance), we got up to leave and a member of staff jumped in front of us to tell us we can’t pay with cash. Again, this isn’t an issue, but the way it was handled and the attitude of the staff member was dreadful. Instead of approaching us while still sat at our table to let us know we had to use card, the staff member waited to make a scene in the middle of the restaurant, and was rude, arrogant and very condescending. His attitude was just completley unnecessary, and completely ruined the experience. Food was alright but honestly nothing exciting and super overpriced.

Very attentive staff great service, excellent food. Would definitely recommend.

Booked our favourite restaurant for our anniversary meal. We were looked after by the lovely staff from the minute we sat down. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the wine menu helping choose a lovely bottle of red. The food was amazing as always and the atmosphere relaxed. Definitely be back for another visit

Really good food and at a reasonable price for the quality. Service was very friendly. If you get the half chicken I would recommend getting the Diane sauce with it. Pork Belly was tasty too. The only fault I could find with it was that you don't get much bread with the parfait/pate starter so we had to order extra bread to go with it.

Staff friendly and welcoming.Food is absolutely delicious. Definitely will return

PRE THEATRE DINNER. ATE FROM THE MAIN MENU. VERY PLEASED/

Lovely food. Great décor and atmosphere. We had breakfast and went back to eat later in the evening. Fantastic French onion soup!

Delicious food, me and my mum loved all of it. Great location, maybe a little pricey but definitely worth the money! 100% recommend the duck a l’orange and the fish stew.

We chose to go to Cote after a visit to the theatre. It was absolutely fabulous. The food and service were impeccable. I would recommend it to anyone. I can't wait to revisit.

Both set and a-la-carte appeared good. My friend had set and I chose from the latter. Both excellent meals and wine was very good too.

We have been to Côte in Newcastle several times and it doesn’t disappoint. As always the food here is delicious, gorgeous wine and great service. Such a lovely evening as always.

Another fabulous meal at Côte, Newcastle upon Tyne. A huge thank you to Laura and your amazing team for taking great care of us. Hope to see you all soon. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Fabulous! Great service, great wine, great food. We had a superb evening, impressed with everything. Reasonable value.

Literally the worst cup of coffee I’ve had in the UK. Tasteless latte, water-thin oat milk so bad I asked for an Americano black, which tasted like stale instant coffee. Service was lovely, main course (fish) was fine, but not extraordinary. It’s a chain that clearly has watered down any devotion to quality, while still prioritizing high prices. Faux French flair belied even by the mistaken “monsieurS” instead of “messieurs” on the loo door

Visited Newcastle today, not been since Covid, and stumbled on this restaurant and so glad we did. Fabulous food, excellent service, really nice atmosphere and competitive prices. Would highly recommend.

We had a great lunch. Good good and great cocktails. Loved the fix price menu.

We called in on spec on a Tuesday around 6pm. The restaurant was empty but we were told that all tables were fully booked. Very disappointed and went away wondering if the restaurant only took bookings for a certain number of covers. Hard to believe it was fully booked but hey ho that's life I suppose.

Excellent place to visit before going to the theater. Easily accessible,spacious and prompt efficient service.

Had a fab experience at Cotes from our arrival and service was spot on.The food excelled with taste,well worth a visit.Will definitely be back!
