Cote Brasserie - St Christopher's Place in City of London, Westminster

Overall we had a lovely experience, staff member Patrick in particular was very helpful and was very attentive. 10/10

I chose Cote in St Christopher's Place as a mid point location for me and a friend to meet for brunch but we were very disappointed with the quality of the food - we had a full English breakfast and a vegan breakfast. The service too was terrible even though the restaurant barely had any occupided tables. Neither of us will go there again which is a shame as we both like other Cote locations.

Rude reception service, and rarely any waiters outside. We had to go inside at the end to ask for our bill and lady at reception who also waitered had a temper . Food came in wrong order too and was not something special.. We probably had higher expectations.

It's a shame every time I come to them, I want coffee, and they tell me to spend it so they won't make us sit. Okay, so tell them, our order is only meals instead of going around.

Food is less than normal Cream caramel for zeez

The food is less than normal, the soup is cold, and the plates and eating utensils smell bad

So disappointing, love this restaurant but 2 days in a row I went in for desserts and drinks (as I love their dessert). Asked to sit outside and they said no. The 3rd time I went I took out my family for dinner and wanted to sit outside and still they said no. Each time it’s the same excuse “we are understaffed” when they’re were plenty of them. The other excuse is “we won’t be able to give you good service”. Very disappointing and rude. Sometimes I want to go there on my lunch break and want to have a peaceful time outside and clear my head before I head back to work. Instead of sitting inside in the loud environment. Will not be going back as it’s happened more than twice, such a shame because it was my go to.

We ordered Sunday roast with chicken on Sunday. Unfortunately, we got food poisoning in the evening. I am so sorry that I experienced something like this during my limited trip to London. It took all our energy. My boyfriend got sick first from the chicken. I got sick 3 hours after that. We threw up all night and it turned into diarrhea. Unfortunately, the chicken needs to be checked urgently. Please take this message into consideration.

Much improved from our last visit,enjoyed our breakfast

This is our favourite Cote, Kamil (general manager), Kasia (front of house manager) and team all work so hard and are customer focused. Yesterday we visited to celebrate my birthday. Warmly welcomed by Kasia and shown to the table I’d requested online. We were given complimentary drinks (I’d received an email as I signed up for the Cote newsletter which I recommend doing) by Kamil (thank you again). We had the Prix Fixe menu which is great value for money. Between us we had the Salad au Bacon, Poulet Grille with optional upgrade of triple cooked chips, Kamil explained and apologised that as a supplier had let them down they could offer my friend pan fried salmon instead of mackerel which my friend had and we shared a chocolate mousse! All were delicious. I was further spoilt by a brownie, ice cream and candle on a dish saying happy birthday! Thank you it as do lovely. The team here are an absolute asset to Cote! Thanks again to Kamil, Kasia and the staff here, we cannot wait to return next year!

Kamil, Kasia and team surpass in customer service. The team are so attentive and the food and drinks are always lovely. We were spoilt with complimentary drinks for my birthday (I received an email for this as I signed up for the Cote newsletter) and also received a yummy brownie with ice cream with happy birthday on it! How very lovely! Thank you Kamil, Kasia and team! We love coming here and it’s our favourite Cote. We cannot wait to return. 10/10 for the hardworking team!! They are an absolute asset to Cote!

I have been coming here for years. The food is always excellent. The staff attentive and efficient. BUT, they still do not have WiFi. - it's been many months. Not good enough, considering every other restaurant and store in this location provides it. Otherwise I would have given 5*.

Very good and highly recommended

Patrick was amazing!! He is an asset to your team and so hard working and lovely. He went above and beyond for us and he was a joy to talk to!

It was a very bad experience today from the staff. We came to the restaurant for dessert and coffee and were asked to go and come back after one hour as the restaurant was serving dinner. After waiting for one hour outside the restaurant, we came back and the manager told us in an aggressive manner that they are not serving dessert and refused to admit us inside the restaurant without expressing any apology to us. He said so although we told him that we were told to come back in an hour. Such behavior is not expected from a well known restaurant caring about the customers satisfaction. I am a frequent customer for this restaurant but this time I had to write this comment for the attention.

1st time at not the last lovely food bit pricey but hey ho It’s London Service charge 12.5% not to my liking however as we got 5 different waiters what the heck

The branch is very bad, especially in terms of receiving guests, especially from Ms. Kasha, she is very rude and has bad manners. She let us wait for a long time she was pretending that she talking on the phone and just ignored us

Excellent. Gluten free items. Server was so helpful and kind. I’ll be back.

Great service, lovely food and vibes!

Amazing food amazing service. Not my favourite Cote of London in terma of decor (The ones at Soho, Sloane Square, Marylebone and Mayfair are the most impressive) but still a beautiful atomosphere. The food delicious and great value as always!

We always eat here in the St Christopher's Place Cote Brasserie when in London. We have enjoyed over the years, breakfasts, lunches and dinners here. Without exception each visit has been made special by the team here. When we (as this time), take friends here they are completely won over and return too! We always love trying out the seasonal cocktails which are always made beautifully and a perfect start to our meal. The wine list is comprehensive with prices to suit all budgets. The service we had by Patrick was outstanding, he guided us through the specials menu and also the main one too. His advice was appreciated and we all chose well, and enjoyed delicious meals, some had starters, all had main dishes and some had dessert with coffee, one person had the cheese board which had a fantastic range of cheeses all served at peak condition. Servings were generous and beautifully presented, Patrick made sure we were happy with each course and ensure our glasses were replenished discretely and ensured there was fresh water on our table when we had nearly come to the end of the carafe. This was a special occasion as we had not met our friends in London for a while and Patrick was perfect in making our lunch special and memorable. He is an absolute credit to Cote and we hope to see him again on our next visit. Thank you for all the team and we look forward to trying the Autumn/Winter menu on our next trip. Jill & Warren

Very bad service i was was waiting for more than 20 mins for the staff to take my order and the lady working her is so rude

Very bad service Waiting more than 20 minutes

Thank you to the whole team!! We had a great birthday celebration🥂🍾

Great selection on Menu. Excellent quality food. Good customer service 👍 and great atmosphere.

Delicious beans on the breakfast plates

This is an excellent restaurant and provides very good food and service in an interesting area. We had a window seat and were attended to by a delightful waitress but I am afraid I have mislaid her name. She made sure that everything we needed was attended to. We will be back!

My go to place to eat when in London food is so tasty & we'll presented. Would fully recommend!

I HAD LUNCH WITH MY 3 FRIENDS TODAY IT WAS DELICIOUS YOU SHOULD TRY IT GREAT PLACE GREAT SERVICE THANK ALL

A discovery and we confirm that the Côte is worth the detour for the quality of the menu but also the welcome and the service.

The portions are very small and the service, although friendly, was not great. We had to ask several times for water, chase drinks and even getting cutlery. Nowhere near as good as local Cote restaurants

Came here to celebrate my bday with a friend and I am so glad I did. The food so absolutely delicious. So flavourful. I highly recommend the Tomato Soup as a starter and the Poulet Frite as a main [both from the Prix Fixe Menu]. The mushroom sauce that comes with it the chicken was so yummy. Last but not least, the Crepe Cerise, which is so rich. The waiters were attentive to our need and conversed with us when needed. They had great humour too. I would definitely come back.

Cote is one of the better chains with decent French food and excellent wine. This branch is in a fun upmarket location. Excellent service. Relaxed atmosphere. On a balmy evening we were able to sit outside. Very good steak frites. The fixed menu is particularly good value.

Patrick was a superstar, so professional and attentive! Made us feel so at home and really brought the whole experience together.

Many visits to branches of Cote in the UK..this is by far the best ! Food was top class, and great prices for such sublime food cooked beautifully. Service was the best I've known with special thanks to the manager who was obliging, knowledgeable and his exceptional service made a huge difference and I'll gladly recommend this branch to others .. Food was better than some famous eateries with better service and choice for less money Some meals are never forgotten and this was one due to the staff and management

So happy we chose this restaurant on our night out. The food, atmosphere and service were all amazing. We had the scallops and calamari for our starters, then the fish stew and belly of pork for our mains. For dessert the chocolate fondant and crème brûlée. All the food was delicious and well presented. The raspberry mojitos are so nice. Such good value for money and we will definitely be back.

Very rude i was asking for out door table under the shades for a dessert, the responsible person was refusing to give me a table because it is raining even though there are shades and there are people sitting, however i was insisting to sit so he was unhappy with that decision, he want inside the restaurant and came back to me saying that by the way the dessert is not available. I really felt offended by this behavior i would not recommend any one to go to this place again

The food is always fantastic (as in all Côte), there is also the possibility of eating out (the street is very pretty), gluten free menu. It's a shame that the staff were very careless and absent, we waited almost an hour because they had forgotten to send the order, even after asking for the bill twice we had to go to the cashier to pay because no one brought it to us.

The staff were very professional and respectful. They took my order promptly; however, I found it a little cold with all of the doors open with uk 20c as the wind came in. They took a long time between the starter and main course. However, this is better than delivering the main course while still eating the starter. They cooked my steak incorrectly; however, they insisted to cook a new one which was then perfect. The staff were nice. But I will go to other cote locations in the future.

I came for coffee and desert, it was so good. However, if you’re looking for the crème caramel desert, ask when they’re available as most times its sold out.

Bad service and one of the workers inside wasnt helpful and he was not friendly! Sadly because it was one of my fav spots for a Crème Brûlée. Wont come back again.

The cream caramel at Cote was exceptional, smooth, creamy and perfectly balanced. A must try for cream caramel lovers!

Not serious service for this branch. I recommend other branches

The crepes were cold. They did not look as if they had been made on the premises from scratch the other food was good and the service was ery good. Restaurant was noisy

Rube and inappropriate comments by staff Abid. He’s I obnoxious and seem to think he can make inappropriate comments to the patrons. He even consumes food whilst clients are still dining and the Spanish waiting staff who seem to be the senior waiting staff seem to have no control over this artonant rude staff.

I went to the first branch on the road. It was crowded. I left it and went to the other branch. Unfortunately, it was closed for maintenance

Wonderful service and their steak fries with Bearnaise sauce is delicious and try the truffle chips.This time the service went AWOL due to IT issues but the management by my brothers was exemplary. Will always go to Cote in St Christopher's place. Thank you all for a most entertaining and different experience. You are all soooo professional. See you soon Stevan Milson

My best friend & I celebrated her birthday here on Saturday. I reserved a table & as I arrived early I was offered a choice of a few tables. The staff were warm & welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. The lady who was front of house (pretty with blond short hair and not in uniform) and Monica our waitress were fantastic and gave us a complementary glass of Cremant on my friend’s arrival for her birthday which was lovely. This is our 2nd visit to this Cote. We will definitely return. Thank you to all the staff who looked after us and made our visit special.

The team at the cote Restaurant went above and beyond to provide us with the best dining experience ever.. There is one girl divya she is very good at her job ... She is no.1 in all staff....

Everything perfect, nice staff 🤩

We went there for creame caramel.....its out special day and waitress divya made it very special by attending us very nicely ...we really enjoyed it..

Abi was very kind. He was a great server and brought our order within five minutes. The food and drinks were very nice, and I would definitely visit again🫶🏻

The worst service of any restaurant in London. Twenty minutes for them to come and take an order. Missed the drinks off the order when it arrived. Dirty plates left sitting on our table for twenty minutes: tried to get their attention to get some coffees and a surly waiter who couldn’t be bothered to listen said he would come back when he could; the steak was under cooked: won’t be returning to this branch again. The Marylebone high street staff are much friendlier and infinitely more professional.

The place is nice and quiet, I have never tried a restaurant I had coffee and a delicious fondue and the place was nice

I am a regular visitor to this branch, but will think twice next time, beyond disappointing! Waiters weren’t interested in serving us, spent time chatting at the front desk, no attentiveness or care - go elsewhere!

Many gluten free options. They understand the subject, so celiacs can rest easy. A pregnant blonde girl waited on us and patiently explained everything we could eat. She is an excellent waitress. Everything is highly recommended, especially the duck.

This branch's dealings are completely opposite to the Marlowe City branch. I didn't like how they dealt with us. We took coffee, very ordinary, and the cream caramel we came for. It was sweet but not worth the fuss. The fondue was delicious and the madeleine cake was fresh, but unfortunately the branch was not comfortable.

Only one complaint and that was the welcome we received. Two empty tables outside. I requested the table by the door, advised it was reserved for a party at 6pm, but we could have the one by the construction work. I said we also have a reservation at 6pm - 1st come 1st served, but apparently you can request location of your table! We ended up sitting indoors even though the table outside sat empty for about 20 mins. Very disappointing

Nice Staff and the food tastet great. We had a good time

Food (⭐️ means my personal favourites): Cheese Soufflé Calamari ⭐️ French onion soup ⭐️⭐️ Rib eye with peppercorn sauce ⭐️ Fillet with bernaise Fish Parmentier ⭐️ Beef Cheek Bourguignon (i used to come here for this, but unfortunately they chnaged their menu and can’t remove ingredients) Steak Frites Triple Cooked Truffle Chips Frites Dauphinois Potatoes ⭐️ Creamed Spinach Au Gratin Dessert: Creme Brulee ⭐️ Creme Caramel Classique Chocolate Salted Caramel Tart Apple Tarte Tatin ⭐️

I came for vegan burger which i used to have when i visit it was very delicious and girl divya she is very kind and gentle. I love the way of warmth of welcoming her.

We visited for special desert cream caramel for anniversary and we loved the way waitress divya treat us. She made our day..

Have been to cote a few times and never been disappointed last night we had an unplanned dinner. The food was very good (I had the sea bass followed chocolate mousse, husband had pork belly followed crème Brûlée) and the rose wine nice and cold! What impressed me the most was the outstanding service all waiters were friendly and helpful

I tried his creme brûlée.. delicious 😋 👌

Very nice lunch. Gluten free options and a separate menu and all clearly marked and mentioned by waiting staff which gives you confidence allergies are taken seriously. Would go back again.

These guys shouldn’t have a license to serve food. Worst meal and service we had for our week in London. Bad food, almost half the salat wasn’t edible, the beer and wine was warm and served in dirty glasses and the waiters just hung around and talkes to each other without paying attention to the guests’ needs. Also used lure prices outside the restaurant, for meals that they didn’t serve. High service fee as well, so all in all a very very bad experience.

Had an amazing dining experience at COTE thanks to our server, Divya. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and made excellent recommendations. Her friendly service made our visit memorable. Highly recommend!

We came for my wife birthday. Everything was perfect. People were very friendly. Thanks a lot for birthday cake again!

A very excellent restaurant to eat The food is very delicious and delicious The menu is varied The price is average I will return to him again

A very comfortable eating experience and the best duck I've had in a long while. Staff helpful and attentive. No complaints 👌 will happily 😊 return.

Good quality and value for money. Loved the fish stew and duck confit! Served by divya is great and location early accessible. Overall a fabulous experience.

The food was amazing, with authentic flavors and presented dishes.The staff was humble.The waitress divya served the food and she is very humble and friendly.

I love how friendly the staff are, and they make you feel very welcome which goes a long way especially when dining alone. The food is always plentiful and tasty, never had a bad meal. Divya looked after me this evening and she was wonderful. Knowledgable and friendly.

At cote one of the server named Divya served us food and her service was amazing. We will surely visit again.

I came here for the cream cramel and it was overhyped. And the restaurant was not very clean

Had breakfast at Cote St Christopher’s this morning. Firstly, the waiting staff were great. Ordered Avocado on toast and it came out filled with chilli seeds which is fine if you actually advertise that on the menu. Also the portion was just laughably small. The main breakfast was ok but the beans were stone cold. The worst part was my wife and daughter to the toilet and while they were in there a male member of staff just walked in without knocking. Just really disconcerting. Either knock or put a notice up saying the toilet is cleaned or maintained by male staff members. Basics really. New breakfast chef needed or maybe just do pastries?

An elderly woman met me and shouted at me and said, “There is no order for coffee. You have to eat it here.” I told her, “I am coming for the cream caramel and I am asking for coffee.” She said, “No, I am not going to go.” Go and finish shopping and come back twice. I will go and she will take me back. I felt that I was racist toward Arabs or veiled women. She was somewhat provocative, even though most of the people there were just asking for a drink.

Really busy and buzzy restaurant. Food was good and wait staff friendly and efficient

Amezing custumer service . We are there with friends for drinks. Nice experience great service .

Divya is a nice waitress and very kind and polite. She give us to best service.

A bit noisy place, the dishes were tasty but one was way too spicy. The service pleasant but a little slow.

Worth the try for cream Caramel

Nice restaurant, part of the Cote chain. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Food quality was high and portion sizes generous as we have come to expect from Cote. Prices were reasonable given the quality

The way the waitress who was in charge of my table dealt with me made me regret not going to another place every moment I was in there! She couldn’t smile not even once! She seemed annoyed every time I asked her about something! Go to the St Martin’s branch if really like the food.. The staff there are the exact opposite they are so kind & friendly, unlike this one.. note: I didn’t rate the service cause they don’t even deserve a star.. 😖😖😑😑

Decent chain for a decent lunch. Nicely cooked tuna, good bread, speedy service. Disappointed they removed the steak tartare from the menu - it's one of the only decent ones in the city.

Do not raise the ceiling of your ambitions... except in the Danube

I came just to try their crème Carmel, perfect 👌🏼

The best thing is the cream caramel.. I have been trying it for 3 years

What a lovely evening. Made to feel at home on a rainy summer’s evening. Two of the nicest cocktails and spot on food. Thank you to the team at St Christopher’s Place. Look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Great food. Great service. If you have allergies they can be really helpful, too. Book a table in advance to avoid disappointment!

cowards shut me out of well before published closing hours

Staff are not very nice “not welcoming”. Atmosphere could’ve been better, and food is fair enough. Won’t go back again.

Boring unfriendly a bit racist staff. I tried their onion soup, i give it 7/10. And their cream caramel is 3/10. Am i going to visit them again or recommend it? Nope.

Just an update to say that I probably won't be visiting any Cote branches as often as I used to as the menu has shrunk along with the portions.

Food and coffee are very modest

Went for lunch with family. Lovely food I had pork belly that was cooked perfectly. Only minor disappointment was steak fritte which was still good just didn't compare to the other dishes. Meals range from £20-30 not including drinks.

All good. Outstanding service and an excellent meal.

This restaurant offers such great value for money – the food and drinks are so good, it's hard to believe it's a chain. There's a fantastic choice of wines by the glass, including dessert wines, all reasonably priced. I also love the way they introduce seasonal specials, eg the asparagus and ham dish that they have on the menu right now. It means you can keep going back without getting bored, as there's always something new to try. I've been to other branches, but the St Christopher's Place one is a firm favourite – the manager there is super-helpful and that clearly rubs off on the other staff, who are always friendly and knowledgeable.

An excellent meal, with scrummy puds, good menu, friendly efficient service. Incredibly helpful to wheel chair user. Quickly provided ramp and cheerful assistance. Many thanks

Horrible service. We were standing waiting to be seated for a long time when they were a lot of tables empty, the manager and the server passed by us and ignored us. Keep in mind the restaurant wasn’t busy at ALL! Rude and I might just say racist. It was very obvious that the behavior was intentional. I called out for the server she said manager will come seat you, the manager saw us walked towards us then diverted to walk down and do other things in the restaurant. It’s not just the servers, it’s also the manager who has no customer service skills. Heard a lot about this place but food isn’t worth being treated in such manner
