Lovely setting, fantastic service and tasty food. We were served by Alberto who was attentive and friendly. The wine was crisp and the food generally really nice. Only complaint was a big bit of fat in the steak minute which I just cut around. The salmon fish cake was really tasty in a tangy dressing. Desserts were tasty too.

We went to cote tonight to celebrate a special occasion.All I can say is that it was amazing,really attentive and friendly staff.Service was fantastic,food came out really quickly too like in between McDonald’s and Nando’s pace In terms of service.Our servers Katerine and Sylwia were very friendly.The food was also delicious too,for starters I had pate,the bread was very nice and also you got a generous portion of sauces too,2 slices Is enough to get your moneys worth but not too much that it fills you up too much to enjoy your main.Also for mains I had the roast lamb,it was really delicious and tender.Also I loved the lentils under it too,that was very tasty and healthy,I loved the carrots and some other thing that came with it.Also fries were delicious as well.But wow the dessert just blew me away,I had the strawberry and vanilla ice cream all gluten free.It was probably the nicest ice cream I have ever had,really really tasty and authentic as well,vanilla ice cream was so delicious had vanilla pods in them and the strawberry ice cream had real strawberry in it,sorry creams cafe!!!But is only limited to two scoops but I suppose it is fair.I would recommend cote even if you are just visiting for an ice cream as they are so delicious.It has given me an idea for in the summer to have some drinks and ice cream in their outdoor seating area.Also request table 24 because that has such beautiful riverside views and views of the castle.Windsor really is such a beautiful town!Also you can scan a survey which you can inform cote about your experience.The toilets were clean though the only thing is is that they could put a sign at the entrance saying please wait here as it isn’t explicit!I would highly recommend celebrating a special occasion here as it is a real treat and a once In a while place.

You know what you're getting at a Cote and at Cote Windsor you can add an amazing view: situated on the river and with views of the castle. There are lots of rooms, so although busy it does not feel overcrowded. The staff were excellent and the menu for the little ones was very good.

This is an excellent restaurant in a beautiful position over looking the Thames on Windsor Bridge and close to Eton. Although we arrived 45 minutes early the receptionsist soon allocated us a table without any fuss. The food is reasonably priced for such a location, the service was polite swift and the steak and fries was great value for money. We enjoyed the experience and would recommend if you are visiting Windsor. If you are travelling by car there are car parks nearby ion Windsor off in Eton High Street.

We went last year and again last weekend (Dec) and somehow last year was better.... we sat upstairs this time and it all seemed quite huge and a bit impersonal. No one came to us for drinks when we sat down we had to flag..having said that lovely location and good food and service once it gets going. Just need to think bit more about the personal touch.

This restaurant has a great location in a lovely building next the Thames and a stones throw from Windsor Castle. We eaten eaten her several times in the past, as it's ideal for pre-theatre bite. Disappointingly our last meal here was very mediocre, or if being truly honest, poor. The service and front of house staff were very good, but the food was below standard. We ordered a bare burger for my son, with some bacon as an extra, the waiter took the details and seemed very clear on what my son wanted. What we got was a burger with unwanted relish an no bacon. My younger son ordered a sirloin steak, medium rare. Good job the steak knife was very sharp, as with even that cutting the meat was tough going. My wife and I had the vegan burgers and these were fine, not great, but very passable. Portions were small (normally I find restaurant portions can b a little large) and the miniature pot of french fries were rather meagre. I ordered some sauté vegetables as an extra side and this was very small portion too. I appreciate we've still got and have had a stint of high inflation, but all in all, even if the food quality had been better it would not have been great value for money. Given the food quality for my sons it was very poor value for money. A great shame as we don't often eat out as a family and we'd been looking forward to it. A shame too, as I doubt we'll choose to eat at Cotes Windsor again any time soon.

5/12/23 Arrived for our Christmas party 10 in total the duck starter was so uninspiring and no effort at presentation. The fish dishes well it was fish on a plate …. The Christmas dinner meal underwhelming. The steak was to be fair delicious. After the initial drinks order we were never offered/ asked re a second. The desserts with ice cream accompanying them lacked the ice cream. The guest who had ordered the cheese board, it was truly a disgrace contained four bite size cheeses but none of them were what had been stated on the menu. All in all underwhelming, and not worth what was paid

Been to so many Cotes in England. Visited this one in Windsor in August it was good then. I gave 3 this time because the welcome we received was special and all the staff were so very welcoming and friendly. The food however is probably the worst I’ve ever had in a Cotes. I really hate saying this but I do think feedback should be listened to. We ordered the cheese soufflés, sadly they were heavy , bland and resembled a dumpling, looked like they were microwaved with a crusty sticky bottom on the plate. Very poor quality. I really enjoyed my duck but my husbands simple steak and frites looked like it was cooked in the oven and microwaved for the plate. No colour whatsoever to this. We decided against desserts. I usually always see the best in hotels and restaurants as no doubt anyone will read from previous reviews but this really disappointed us as it was our trip away for our anniversary. Doubt we will try again.

Cote used to be my favourite chain - I used to love the decor, the bistro style, the swift service and good quality food.However, this visit has put me off, if not for life, certainly for a very long time.The only good thing about the visit was the Sancerre wine - although there was lint all over the wine glass.I was served dried up old chicken that had clearly been left in the hot-hold all day. It was barely edible. I had worked a very long day and couldn’t be bothered making a fuss. I then thought I would have my favourite crepes, to be sorely disappointed to have one measily crepe - in Cardiff we have two! So after £40 paid for one person, I felt ripped off and taken advantage of with not one aspect of my dinner pleasant.Whilst I appreciate times are hard and I want to support my favourite businesses, don’t rip us off in time’s of hardship. We still expect freshly cooked food - not chicken left on the hot hold all day where it was all dried up.

Unfortunately this was not acknowledged at all by any of the staff and even when mentioned it was basically ignored. Would not have happened at the Cote at Winchester. Other than that the food was as usual very good. My wife had the fish pie which she said was superb.

Based on location decided to have a coffee here on recent trip to Windsor. The view and the coffee did not disappoint. Only criticism is that unless study the menu (which we didn't as knew exactly what we wanted) you are not aware of the "optional 12.5% service charge until after you have paid, looked at the receipt and (as in my case) left a tip on the table!

Our server Juan could do no wrong, nothing was too much trouble, he even looked after the needs of my partner who is gluten intolerant, and did everything with style. We will speak highly of our fantastic experience and would totally recommend cote to all. Thank you cote and thank you Juan!

We visited this restaurant with our two children. The staff were great, the food was really nice (we had the chateaubriand). The restaurant overlooks the river and the staff gave us a window seat. They provided pack of things for the kids to do also. Only disappointment was that they added 12.5% to the bill and whilst they stated it was optional the card reader was presented to us with the tip already added. I prefer to choose how much I tip (and 12.5% is more than I’d normally contribute)Generally very good though, would recommend.

Cote Windsor has a fabulous spot the other side of the river over the Eton Walkway (bridge). we booked ahead which was fortunate as it was packed - every table taken. Service was slick and very pleasant. Usual Cote menu, which is a bit of a crowd pleaser. I love the chicken pate starter, and my fish pie was awesome. Mrs W equally enjoyed her crab and sea-bass. We were celebrating a bit so washed it down with Bollinger and something else. The bill wasn’t that much frankly. We’ll be back another day.

We recently popped along to Cote after lunch at Gilbey's, just for a drink (mid afternoon) . When we said we were just here for a cocktail we were immediately told "we don't do cocktails". Not a great welcome, especially when they clearly do a Kir Royale, Mimosa and apparently a fig/gin cocktail at the moment - the first two of which I know because I have eaten here on several occasions. Disappointing to be greeted with instant negativity, especially in the current climate, and we will certainly not choose to pop to Cote again for some time.

Cote Windsor is actually in Eton which means that the riverside setting gives you a great view of the castle.

A walk around the River we stopped for a drink and some lite lunch. Lovely waitress offered us a table with a side view of the River. The restaurant was buzzing with diners taking advantage of the last of the warm weather. We ordered our drinks and food all good, we even received a complimentary bottle of water and served with some warm bread and butter. After we paid we realised we had been charged for the bread which we had not ordered. We didn’t make a fuss but felt it was wrong to be charged for an item we did not order. Make you wonder how many customers are overcharged!

...although we did have to ask for ice three times, and it was 29 degrees out there.... Other than that, though, terrific.We got a table next to the panoramic, wide-open windows, and appreciated the occasional gentle breeze off the river. The viewpoint is just lovely, looking right across the river to the castle. The interior is fresh, smart and attractive.A generous portion of calamari, cooked just right, and Cote's "trademark" pork rillettes, with sourdough, and the vital cornichons with the salad accompaniment-delicious. Tuna nicoise salad each-tuna nicely cooked, and a tasty salad dressing. All washed down with an entirely acceptable bottle of rose, from L'Herault. (About £18, I think)Add one double espresso-£75 for two, including the 12.5% they automatically add on for service.Very good value, for a venue like that.

I have very mixed reviews about this restaurant, we came twice in our 4 day stay. The first time we came, we had the ‘Lobster Frites’ (& a dessert) & it was absolutely beautiful. We were lucky to be squeezed in by a kind member of staff, as the restaurant was all booked up. The second time we came, was very different - I ordered the ‘Steak Frites’ & it was horrible, it was way overdone, even though I’d asked for “medium rare”, it was tough & chewy & didn’t even look appetising to the eye (no garnish or sauce, like the lobster, literally just steak & chips). I recommend this restaurant, but I would advise any visitors to order anything but the steak.

We spent several days in Windsor and tried a number of restaurants - this was by far the best we tried. The food is British largely with a French/European twist to the menu. The location is idyllic (we sat on the outside terrace overlooking the Thames). As darkness fell the lighting was magical with heaters to ensure ongoing comfort. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, everything was just perfect. Oh, and did I mention that the food was delicious? Beautifully presented and just as we'd ordered (and we are very exacting at times)! This is not a cheap restaurant but neither is it expensive considering the quality of food. We paid more at another bistro-style restaurant for a much lesser standard.

The closest Cote to both home and work have been boarded up for the last few months so it was great to see the Windsor branch thriving. We stopped on our way back from a long bank holiday walk so hadn’t booked but they found us a lovely table on the upper terrace overlooking the river, as long as we wouldn’t be longer than an hour. That was all we needed for a late breakfast. Service from clear-visored staff was efficient, the food was fine (great jams with croissants) and there were sensible systems in place. And on the final day of Eat Out to Help Out (which we’d forgotten) it was a very good deal. The only downside - and not Cote’s fault - was the chap who had to fill the air with blueberry vape well before he got up from his seat to leave. Thanks Cote. It’s good to see you back.

I thought that the food was OK not brilliant and certainly not as good as other franchises I have been to. 2 people ordered the burger and both did not like it, however 1 chose to eat it and the other left a substantial amount. I complained to the waiter that (1) the burger was not great and hand not been enjoyed- however he was unwilling to do anything. We also sat outside and the amount of wasps that began to congregate was un-believable- this is something that the restauraunt needs to definitely look into even if it is something as simple as lighting a citronelle candle.

We were taking advantage again of the ‘eat out to help out’ deal and had a lovely evening tonight. We were celebrating my husbands birthday and our 30th Wedding Anniversary We were originally placed in a narrow area and unfortunately the table of 3 next to us found it was necessary to shout to each other as if they were sitting at opposite ends of the restaurant rather than opposite each other on a small circular table - this made it difficult to hear each other (let alone the waitress) so we asked to be moved. They duly obliged and (maybe it was karma) this table was wobbly (a pet peeve of mine) but this was soon rectified by the waiter with a few folded paper napkins We had a delicious meal and were not rushed at all - the staff were attentive and helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them Thankyou for a lovely evening

Lovely restaurant. Great location right on Eton Bridge, arguably the best view in Windsor. Good diverse, French based, menu. I usually like the cheaper lunchtime menu but that is not back yet since the lockdown. So I had the King prawn gratinee, then the Tuna Nicoise with a seared rare tuna steak, finally the Creme caramel (see photo). All was absolutely delicious. Service was quick and well organised. Accessible fine dining focussing on quality & taste rather than showy presentation. A nice place for a classy date.

The service was very good and the food was reasonable (I had the goats cheese salad, my mum had a chicken salad.) Decent coffee.I've been here a couple of times and the large rotunda space has a nice river view. However, the acoustics are so bad that when it's busy it's very hard to have a conversation. I hoped they would do something to address this during the recent renovation. I would recommend asking to be seated in one of the quieter, more intimate rooms or outside next to the river when the weather's good.Disappointed that there are only two vegetarian light mains. I live almost next door and would go there more often if there was a better choice for us veggies.The gents toilets were horrible. I was hit by the smell of the urinals as soon as I walked in. It would help to have some sanitary blocks in the urinals and to clean the toilets regularly.All in all an ok experience and my mum enjoyed it. Nice location by the River Thames. However, I wouldn't choose to eat here regularly.

Firstly we had requested a table outside (a week in advance) which was denied until we noticed another couple ask for the same and they were told yes. Finally given a table to our liking and things were going smoothly until I received my tough dark brown fillet steak. I would have been fine eating out of sync with my friend (who had already finished her meal whilst I awaited my replacement) if the Manager had not come to us with his patronising tone saying that all his staff inspected the steak and agree that it was medium rare and NOT overdone. What can you say to such insolent and rude staff members who make a point of being defensive and dishonest? Having spent big on champagne and other premium drinks, we felt Cote did not deserve our custom.

From checking in, the staff were really cold, irritated, generally snappy and not happy. Times are hard but they made us feel like we were being an annoyance by arriving for our reservation. Ordered calamari, inedible, swimming in grease/oil and really soggy, mentioned nicely to waiter that I couldn’t eat it and explained why. No apology, just snatched it away and said it was meant to be like that. Asked for the bill and calamari was left on there. Complained to manager, still no apology just taken off the bill. Left feeling very upset. Not the cote standard we are used to. Very disappointed.

Clear COVID measures were in place (one way systems, hand sanitisers around) and all the staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious (particularly the lobster main course) and very reasonably priced. We shall return for another evening by the river soon.

We recently visited Côte on our 'staycation' trip to Windsor - we already loved the brand but couldn't resist the beautiful Thameside view.The service was quick & very attentive, caring to our every need, and providing everything we asked for.Our desserts were especially impressive too. Cannot recommend enough.

We enjoyed a super meal at Cote with friends. The position on the river is beautiful, try to get a table overlooking the water if possible. Food was excellent and service very good.

French onion soup as a starter was okay. Unfortunately the gas in the kitchen stopped working which caused an hours delay to our food. Chicken was a bit dry and uninspiring. Very nice waitress said the meal was on them which was a nice surprise.

We were lucky to get a fabulous table by an open window with an uninterrupted river view. I had a ribeye steak cooked exactly as I ordered it and sides of spinach and peas. My wife had half a chicken with wild mushroom sauce. I was very surprised at how delicious the food was. We also shared a creme caramel for dessert which was lovely too. The staff were very professional and attentive. We had modestly priced wine by the glass which was ok rather than great. I will definitely go back.

Went for lunch, had calamari starter, chicken and chips and a Meteor beer plus a little coffee so finish off a lovely meal. Service was very good, genuinely friendly but not over the top. Food came quickly, good social distancing measures in place. Seemed good for all kinds of groups. Have always found Cōte to be consistently good, Windsor has to be my favourite branch! Breakfast is hard to beat.

Went here on the first day of opening & was very impressed with the care taken. Waiters wore face shields & used wipes on the payment key pad. Tables & chairs were both wiped down between diners & it all ran very smoothly. Staff were friendly & very helpful & the food was as good as ever. Well done Cote.

What a wonderful couple of hours were spent sitting looking out at the river Thames on Sunday morning/afternoon, eating a delightful veggie breakfast and chatting to my friend in a relaxed and charming venue. The staff couldnt be friendlier, and even though we were late for our booking, they were happy to see us, and served us quickly and efficiently. Food was great, tasty and hot, and plenty of it! Two poached eggs, with a runny yolk, on sourdough bread, with half an avocado, tomato, mushroom and a fab vegetable sausage, that looked homemade, and tasted delicious! Breakfast offered until 1pm! Fantastic, for those like me who enjoy a late Sunday brekkie! They offer a special, breakfast, juice and a hot drink for £10 +My friend had a chicken dish from the Sunday specials menu (offering a set lunch if desired) which she said was wonderful! We were so tempted by the deserts on offer, but to be honest i couldn't have managed another morsel! The only downside in the main restaurant room was the noise, and by the end of our time there i felt i had been shouting for two hours!

View of the river from our table. Friendly staff who gave us time to decide on our choices from the menu. Garlic prawns as a starter, which was delicious followed by Swordfish in a casssoulet bean sauce and broccolli. My husband has French Onion Soup and Duck breast which was nice and pink, plus chips. Followed by raspberry and vanilla sorbet. All very tasty. Very relaxing and well presented.

El personal es muy amable, nos dieron una gran mesa con vistas al río. Cuando pedí cambiar la ensalada de frutas con mi tostada francesa por tocino, ni siquiera dudaron, y estaba delicioso, el único problema leve fue que el tocino podría haber estado un poco más crujiente, pero eso fue menor. Definitivamente lo recomendaría y volveremos. Mi esposo también disfrutó mucho su desayuno francés.

Después de una caminata helada por Dorney Lake, quedamos encantados con la cálida bienvenida y el ambiente aún más cálido, un gran comienzo.Aunque estamos acostumbrados a un buen servicio en los establecimientos de Cote, quedamos muy impresionados con el enfoque cortés y amable de todo el personal, incluso cuando acabamos de pasar. ¡Incluso nuestro servidor Mirko, italiano, se apresuró a asegurarnos que no había estado en casa recientemente!Decidí tomar el cóctel del mes, una sabrosa mezcla de Prosecco / licor, que vale la pena probar. Elegimos la sopa para comenzar, con un buen pan y mantequilla extra, seguido de pasteles de pescado y frituras de carne, bien y bien cocinado, pero la carne estaba un poco dura por los bordes. No hay espacio para pudines.Los precios razonables y la consistencia general nos harán seguir usando este grupo.

Went here for a special lunch for two. Asked for a river view seat when I booked, and when I was greeted, I was given a great table with fabulous views over the bridge and the river. The service was great, nice and attentive with out getting in the way. Food choice was excellent, and the dishes we chose were perfect. Dessert especially good, it was a sharer plate of a wide range of individual small desserts. Fantastic. Heartily recommend this restaurant

Rocked up for belated Nana birthday lunch with friends and family.  6 of us, 3 kids and found a river-front table with disabled access.Check in advance about parking as all kinds of rules seemed to be in play, and having driven around 3 times,  found local car park was free on Sundays! It is very close to Windsor and Eton Riverside train station thoughKiddie menu we had to ask for, which given we'd 3 boisterous under 5s sat with us seemed a bit strange.  Good menus for them though.We were spoilt for choice and had an additional festive or seasonal selection to choose from.See pictures of the yummy selections we mad (sorry dessert went down too quickly.The waitress was lovely, very patient, but forgot to bring a side and had to be prompted on a couple of things,  We were down the back, so not sure how busy the rest of the place was.They were great with the kids, and aside from freezing breeze every time the disabled access back door opened, we were well placed for excited squeals from the kids as boats and birds drifted by.OK value and tasty fare in a good location.We enjoyed.

Took an age to order and receive my meal when it did finally arrive, it was cold. I was far too hungry to send it back as I didn't know whether I would have it delivered again this decade.
