Cote Brasserie - Worcester in Worcester

Excellent Breton fish stew, but 'shrink-flation' smaller serving in smaller bowl but the irritation was asking for a 'bit more bread' restaurant charged £4.75 for a baguette portion ( not so much was required or requested ) Whilst the food itself was excellent the additional cost for the bread & the smaller portion ultimately stopped a potential excellent review/experience

Chose Prix fixé menu. Tough steak with large streak of gristle. Was not asked of cooking preference, nor offered a steak knife. My companion had chicken which too was disappointing. We both felt that the standards here were not as we have experienced previously

Really nice menu and food. Staff are always so nice. Grant was great! Lovely location on a sunny day, sitting on the patio is really pleasant.

Booked Cote for my partners birthday and was extremely impressed with our time here , from time we stepped through the door we felt welcomed relaxed and happy , they had dressed table with birthday sprinkles and a card which I thought was a very kind and lovely thoughtful thing to do , we had complimentary fizz also , again very unexpected but very gratefully received, they made us feel like we were special ! , The food was superb as was the wine .....all the staff so very warm and friendly......give this place a go you will not be disappointed,,,,highly recommended

We usually enjoy Cote very much at our usual branches in Birmingham (now closed) and Solihull, where we found the experience to be above the average chain restaurant. At Worcester we found it did not live up to this. We were left waiting at the door for some minutes before being shown to our booked table. We did not receive much of a greeting or information about the menu. In particular the Prix Fixe menu was attached to the main one with no times shown as to when it was available and this was not mentioned. Not surprisingly it wasn't available on Saturday night and my elderly father was refused ordering a dish from it. We were not asked about allergies or if our food was OK. We had been in the restaurant for about an hour when our food did arrive and had allowed almost 2 hours in total, but doubt we would have had time for more than one course even if we wanted to. When it did arrive the food was cooked to perfection and of the usual standards, very nice. I really felt it was the lack of welcome from the manager and other staff that let this branch down, although sometimes staff can be stretched if there are not enough employed at the restaurant. Probably would avoid if going to Worcester again.

Lovely atmosphere and warm welcome from staff. Food and wine delicious, can't go wrong. A special mention for Saima who is very friendly and can't do enough to help.

Overall, it was a really nice meal for the three of us. Portion sizes (whilst initially looking a bit on the small size), we're actually just right. The only issue was with the salmon dish, in that it wasn't hot and was very bland. Everything else was excellent. We did raise this and were told the comments would be passed on. The service was excellent. Couldn't do 4.5 stars, so I had to opt for 4.

Wonderful food. Great experience. The waiter who took care of us was very knowledgeable about the wine. We will definitely be returning

We have been to Cote Worcester many times and have always found the service excellent and the food well cooked. On our last visit, we ordered from the set menu and I wasn't expecting a large meal but something substantial to feed an adult, wrong! The food was cooked well but the portion wouldn't have fed my 11 year old granddaughter, who doesn't have a big appetite. I spotted the children special (steak) meal which certainly larger than mine! I paid the 20% service charge added to my bill but will certainly think twice next time.

The food and service were first rate. My husband has a habit of mentioning all day that it was my birthday and the staff couldn't have been nicer. I think I could probably have managed with the cheese board alone! Delicious.

We have previously enjoyed many meals at Cote Worcester, but our latest experience was disappointing. The food was unexciting, the sauce accompanying one dish was served in a jug with a badly chipped spout and the napkins, although laundered, were stained. The chicken dish should have arrived with a herb salad but was just a couple of sprigs of parsley. On questioning this with the waiter, I was informed that I wasn’t the first customer to comment on it. Perhaps act on customer feedback rather than continuing with something which has been signalled as unsatisfactory? A complementary green salad was provided but it would be better to serve the dish as advertised. Food quality appeared to be less good than previously and it seemed as though some corner-cutting had been introduced. This is not acceptable for the price.

I recommended this place as I had had a good experience several years ago. I did not get the table I requested when I booked. The first interaction with the lady manager was intimidating and unhelpful. She came round eventually. Not at all French. The food was small portions and mediocre. Nothing special. The service as we had been placed at the back of the restaurant was slow and we were ignored most of the time. It has gone off as far as I am concerned and felt embarrassed to take friends there. We spent nearly £300 and it seemed to us only two young very slim girls were doing all the work. I will not be going again unfortunately.

Hard to fault as our food as all the food was well-prepared and tasty but a big shout out for the the Beef Cheeks mains which was to die for !

We have always enjoyed Cote before. The food has always been well prepared and good value. In addition, the staff have always been lovely. We took my mother and father there today for brunch. It was a real disappointment. The Cote Breakfast had a mere single sausage and a couple of rashers of streaky bacon. They had filled the plate with cheaper ingredients- potatoes, mushrooms and tomatoes. Plus some very oddly flavoured baked beans that were horrible. They are clearly trying to save money but for £12.45, it is really not good value. We had our 2 year old with us. We ordered her breakfast with a side of avocado. They brought the wrong side and we politely pointed this out. When the waitress brought the avocado, it was covered in chilli flakes- clearly not suitable. When we mentioned this, the waitress huffed and puffed, pulled a face, and wandered off. No apology- just attitude. The food was very underwhelming and the place has gone downhill. To be fair they did knock some money off, but we will not be returning. There are far better places for brunch in Worcester where you get value for money and less of the attitude.

Very disappointed in the portion sizes, poor value for money, mussels were very tasty but chips came far too late when they are a meal supposedly to be eaten together, fish pie tasty but very small portion for a main dish, the fixed menu is very boring/basic and the only thing I can think of is that they are discouraging people from ordering from this. Went home still feeling hungry and I certainly don’t have a large appetite. It was my go to place in Worcester but will not be returning, place was half empty for the start of the Easter holiday, maybe this is reflection of the experience we had this evening.

Superb service, a lovely atmosphere, great food and drink. Special mention to Marina who was charming and delightful.

Friday evening meal with friends, the food was great and the service was friendly and attentive. Cocktails were good too.

Nice evening and good food ruined by an ignorant waiter. Assumed my husband was paying, (sexist, didn’t bother to ask who was paying the bill) shook his hand and not mine (until I paid!) No idea why. Disappointing but plenty of other places that do a nice steak.

I must have caught it on a bad day ? Service was very good. Food however was not. Had the price fix 3 course menu. Starter fine. Chicken main was tasteless even with the sauce. Just a funny burnt taste , wife said her sea bass was ok. Desserts again just ok. There are a lot better places to eat around Worcester. Wouldn’t go back

Last night I went to Côte for mine and my partners birthday meal. My only criticism for the evening is that servers were a tad slow to come over and take orders, however that’s only a minor issue. The food and service we received was wonderful! I decided to try the steak tartare as it’s always something I’ve wanted to give a go and it was absolutely delicious! My partner said that his calamari was some of the best he’s ever had, and the rest of my table really enjoyed their starters as well. The sauces for the steak tartare being bought over was a really nice attention to detail! Our mains were delicious as well, I had the mussels and fries which was beautiful. The sauce in which the mussels came in was absolutely delicious, and there was no sand in any of the mussels whatsoever which is a great note. The provided finger and shell bowls were an extra attention to detail which was really lovely to see. The burger, pork belly, lamb, and steak were also enjoyed by the rest of my party. Our desserts came out after quite a while, however they were super tasty. The chefs had even added happy birthday in icing sugar on mine and my partners plate which was really nice to see. Overall we really enjoyed our visit to Côte, all of the servers were well mannered, attentive, and polite, despite being a little tardy on taking orders. Our food was delicious from start to finish and we really enjoyed our evening. Thanks again, Côte Worcester!

A lovely meal with very attentive service. The service we reviewed was excellent. My husband was made to very special on his birthday.

Once again a superb meal at Cote today …outstanding service too. Nothing was too much trouble …even moving us to a quieter table when a nearby party got just a tad too noisy for comfort. Checked we were happy with the new location and diverted our food order …. Thank you

Food okay, service okay, nothing to rave about. Would we go back - no sorry just didn’t quite hit the spot! Steak was good, mussels were poor and overcooked. Service was okay, it was very quiet on a Friday afternoon.

Really unfriendly from the moment we arrived at the door. Restaurant was 90% empty yet we were refused our choices of table and were ‘instructed’ where we had to sit …. So we left without ordering and went elsewhere. I’ve been going monthly since it opened - that’s well over 50 visits; but with new management and new staff the service has gone rapidly down hill so I’m not motivated to try again as there are so many other restaurants in Worcester where we feel welcome.

Went here for family Xmas catch up. Sunday time, busy pre ordered menu fulfilled in the weeks coming up to the day. Lovely venue, looks great. the food is wonderful. However, the service was shocking. Way too slow and inattentive. Considering everything was already ordered (apart from drinks) it should have been smooth going, but waiting about 30 mins between courses. Empty drinks or plates not taken away etc. Adding to this, people who had 2 courses (main and desserts) were charged the same as ppl who had 3 course meal off the same menu. I personally don't think that's fair. It was good, but not good enough to return. Maybe better when less busy as it didn't look like they could cope with it.

We've been here quite a few times now. Never had a bad experience. Food delicious and a good choice. Service friendly and efficient. The calamari was cooked to perfection and the fish pie delicious as was the French soup and pork belly.

Seated by the kitchen/toilets when it was half empty, waited 30 mins for cold food, waitress took away our plates when we hadn't finished!! Bad experience and wasn't cheap.

Although extremely busy on Xmas market day we were treated very curteously and efficiently. Highly organised team, good food, a very pleasant experience. Thank you

Booked table for 9pm on a Saturday night. Felt very rushed as they wanted to close at 10pm! Food was lovey. Casually asked if we would like water for the table and got charged £5.35! Staff could have been a bit more happier!

Myself and my friend went for a birthday breakfast here today. I cannot fault anything! Food was incredible, my friend was made to feel special, table had been decorated and we received Prosecco and a special dessert. The service was first class, Liam went out of his way to ensure everything was perfect for us with help from marina as well. Honestly one of the best dining experiences we’ve had. Liam and Marina are a credit to the restaurant, I already have and will continue to recommend to everyone. Thank you for a perfect start to my friends celebration

Always our first choice, love the atmosphere and the food. My only criticism is that vegetarian portions are always small, my husband’s mushroom bourgignon was delicious but hardly filling. This is a common experience in restaurants, don’t know why they assume vegetarians are on a diet. He compensated with a sweet

From the minute we walked in staff could not have been more attentive. Friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, enquiring about are well being at appropriate points without being over bearing. The menu itself is varied and every single dish was delicious. Reasonably priced and a thoroughly decent bottle of wine to accompany. We will most definitely be back.

I visited Thursday 14th September to meet my daughter for lunch having not seen her for some 14 years! The manager kindly gave us a glass of fizz for this special occasion. We were busy catching up and hardly interested in food. The staff were patient attentive and aware. A thoroughly lovely time. Thank you all at Cote.

Visited Cote Worcester last Saturday, to take advantage of a complimentary bottle of house wine offer and as a special treat, as my fiance is home from working overseas for a couple of weeks. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable. And the food was excellent. Have been coming here for 6 years, and, in my opinion, you cannot get a better fillet steak. I had requested mine medium and my fiance had requested medium-rare. Both were cooked perfectly. I thoroughly recommend this restaurant; we had a lovely evening. Being a romantic evening, their service was just right - not over-intrusive, just right. Thank you Cote Worcester.

My elderly mother and 2 friends, all in their 80s, came for lunch recently. The only food item that they shared was creamed spinach. All were unwell to varying degrees a few hours later. This was bought to the attention of the manager the next day. I understand that they have been offered a bottle of wine in compensation, however they’re not interested in compensation, they would prefer some explanation and reassurance that the matter will be looked into, so that future diners don’t experience the same. As yet, no explanation is forthcoming 🙁

The food is amazing, the staff are really nice, it's always a busy friendly little restaurant, will definitely return

We had a fantastic lunch at Cote today, first class service and delicious food. It was a birthday get together with family and friends. We were made to feel so welcome 🤗 . Would definitely recommend. Thank you team Cote🥂x

We have eaten in a number of Cote Brasseries and we love the consistently good food and service. This was no exception. We were looked after excellently by Sophie. The Manager, Duncan, took time to talk to us about our evening.

We always enjoy going to cote for breakfast. This time it wasn’t up to its usual standard. It was Luke warm, the bacon and bread was really hard. We left the mushrooms as they had a very strong seasoning on which for me was too much for breakfast. The Poached eggs were nice though. They always ask you in restaurants how your food is but when you say it isn’t, no one ever really knows what to do. The staff are usually bubbly and friendly But not today. It’s put us off going in an evening if this is the new standard.

Cote never fails; the fod is very nice, the staff are good and the wines very reasonable. Overall a very go to restaurnat when all thers are closed.

We booked online to take a our newly engaged granddaughter and her fiancé for a meal. We had a great welcome and a bottle of fizz, they also gave the happy couple a lovely card. The food was as good as ever and the service exceptional. We had a really happy evening, recommend this place highly.

Usually a reliably great place for lunch, our visit yesterday was not only extremely disappointing but extremely embarrassing as we had promised our friends a lunch to remember. I don’t think they’ll ever forget it. We waited 25 mins to give our order and another 20 for our food to arrive. After 70 mins we were still hoping someone would notice we would like to order dessert but without success so we asked to speak to the manager. He very kindly addressed the problem to our satisfaction although it was a shame our friends had to witness the episode. We will return because the food is ALWAYS excellent, but if poor service is repeated, it will be the last time.

We sat outside as was a nice day Feels as though your in gay pari Service good We had the French toast with berries Food nice Toilets inside You do have to pay a service charge , can take it off if preferred

We've never been to Cote before, but based on reviews we went tonight for our wedding anniversary and we not disappointed. When we shown to.our table it had been decorated with 'confetti' and there was an anniversary card from the staff. We had beef bourgignon...

Always enjoy eating here for any type of meal. Consistently good and relatively good price too. Brunch menu is my absolute favourite

Nice restaurant and nice ambience. Really good food but be prepared to wait, service is very, very slow even when the restaurant is quiet so put plenty of money in the parking meter - almost unacceptable tbh!

Delicious french breakfast. Bacon medallions, meaty herby sausage, best hash brown I've ever had and 2 fried eggs with chestnut mushrooms and griddled toms. Also I had the brown bread toast which looked and tasted like freshly baked bread and a generous delicious salted butter...

We had a great time there as the food and wine were delicious and service was good. Very Impressed. Seabass cooked perfectly

Lovely restaurant in Cathedral square. Nice and airy atmosphere and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. The staff were polite and friendly. It’s card only for payment. A small baked Camembert with crunchy sourdough toast pieces came first to share…. Tiny though. Could have been...

Usually love this place but last night the waitress clearly did not want to be there. After she was patronising to one of my friends we walked out. Staff make the place so the young lady needs some training.

We go to Cote regularly as the food is consistently good, the menu is interesting, the restaurant has a good ambiance and the staff are brilliant. As well as going on our own or with friends, we have taken my elderly parents a few times...

Dined alone on a Sunday afternoon. Warm welcome. Lovely ambience. Food and service top notch! Got to chose where I sat. Tried a French organic cider called Sassy. Like it that much had a second one.

We went for a birthday meal and were thoroughly satisfied with the experience. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout. The dishes were great and the 3 course set menu is great value considering the quality of the food.

First visit to Côte Brasserie and we were not disappointed. We had a fabulous two course lunch which was well-cooked, well-presented and attentively served. Reasonably priced which was very welcome. Clean, good service, perfect table offered. Sure we’ll be back.

Fabulous, attentive staff. Top notch food as always. I had the steak and fries as a main with the 2 courses for £14.99 which was fab, and then the chocolate marvellous for dessert- it was exactly that - marvellous! Definitely recommend.

Very limited menu with quite a few choices not available. Service was quite good and attentive. The food quality was average and no better than any other chain restaurant/pub

Appalling service. The wait for everything was beyond a joke, drinks took over 20 minutes and food took even longer. The risotto was lovely, as was dessert; however the wait spoilt the evening.

Party of 6 of us. - friendly welcome, excellent table service, all had various meal choices, (mains and desserts) and all agreed their meals were delicious! Couldn’t fault anything.

We have been going to go Cote for years, first trip was to one of their first restaurants in Soho London. Never had anything much to complain about but this branch was abysmal. Service- they forgot about us! left waiting for an hour for mains....

We had the set menu on our visit. Although the food was excellent we thought it wasn’t quite the value for money we’d hoped for in portion size. We weren’t convinced the main menu portions would be that bigger. My stepdad wasn’t to happy about...

Lovely dinner celebrating my husbands birthday. They put on so many small unexpected touches and nearly every member of staff wished him a happy birthday. It was so nice - and the food was great too!

Great tasting food perfectly served by very good staff and a very comfortable restaurant with outdoor tables available. Honestly had no negatives to mention and this was our second anniversary meal here.

Despite the large number of restaurants in Worcester Cote is still a firm favourite of ours. Consistently good food and value for money when compared to others. We had a lovely Saturday evening with friends, great service by all and particularly Grant.

Three of us; each had the best meal in ages. Simple food, beautifully cooked and presented. We all had different things; pea and tapenade tart, smoked salmon, asparagus and poached egg as starters - generous portions. Main courses, steak frites, tuna niçoise, sea bass -...
