We have been regular visitors here for breakfast, lunches and dinners for many years and have always had a lovely experiences whenever we visit. We went for breakfast this morning and it was excellent as usual. We had eggs royal and smoked salmon and scrambled eggs......all delicious and we couldn't resist having a second coffee as it's so good. All the staff are so friendly and efficient and we are always made to feel very welcome, as we were this morning. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

I really didn’t want to write this because it’s Christmas and everyone is tired and on empty but…. I booked Cotes as I was sent an email with a link to book for my birthday and 1 glass per party of complimentary fizz would be provided . The service was ok .. server lacked any knowledge or charisma but sweet . The service was a bit slow . We were never asked if we wanted another drink we had to keep asking …my husband told the waitress that it was my 40th and if they had anything special she could do …. I over heard him but she replied Ah no maybe next time . Bill was 181 .00 for 4 which I felt wasn’t worth it . I hate giving bad feedback but I just felt the manager needed to know .. perhaps it was skeleton staff .. .

We went on spec after looking for somewhere to have lunch as everywhere was very busy but we were welcomed by Kieran who showed us to a nice table and the food was so good that we decided to come back a couple of days later for dinner. Our server was Joe and you could not have met a warmer, friendly and helpful young man who was both efficient and knowledgeable. An excellent gluten free menu, easy to understand but Joe was able to make sure that the meal was adapted. We had the Chateau and the chocolate mousse both excellent. We will be back next time we are in York and thoroughly recommend the Cote

We have been to this restaurant many times and have always enjoyed the food and service, so today when we arrived at 12 to a nearly empty restaurant, we were surprised to be told it was fully booked, even for a table for 2. Disappointed, we looked on line to see there were tables available at this time and afterwards! Did we not fit your profile?? We usually have at least 2 courses with a bottle of wine and pay for 12% service charge without a quibble. Fortunately we found somewhere else to eat just as nice and friendly!

What a fabulous experience at Cote York. I am disabled and have a mobility scooter. The manager asked one of the lovely staff members to come and bring my scooter into the vestibule as there was nowhere on the street to chain it up. They also carried it out when I was due to go. We had lunch I ate from the set menu and had the steak and frites followed by plum clafoutis and my daughter had the quiche Lorraine and a trio of desserts. Everything was beautifully cooked and delicious. We had a lovely afternoon. I have already booked for the Christmas menu on 11th December. Can’t wait. Staff go above and beyond. Couldn’t recommend them more highly.

We noticed a very unbalanced approach in this restaurant. We stayed for nearly 2 hours and noticed many prospective customers being turned away at the door . Also the booking system was showing it was not possible to grab a table even for an Hour . Food service is swift and I’m sure if you could grab a table for a main course and a drink it would give them extra revenue in these difficult times . We noted 2 large tables down the back that could have seated 12 in total empty a 2 up front and another 4 vacant , during our visit . There was 5 staff on the front plus a manager. Food is very brassiere style with the nod to France, rustic with plates thumped in front of guests rather than placed , no one suggested extra sales to us during our stay. Saturday visit. Sorry to say but when one dines out a lot the little things matter, and I’m only commenting to help these guys out , I’d hate to turn away a few hundred quid in my business.

We went for brunch at Cote in York, we booked a table but on arrival it was empty (be time we left it was full!) We were seated and welcomed/looked after by a male server who was good. Gave us enough time to chat rather than rushing us to order! We had the vegetarian breakfast it was delicious and a good size my only comment would be that the vegan sausage is not great. As a long term veggie there are so many good options out there now & this wasn’t one of them! The mimosas were spot on! The whole experience was nice as a local, I’ve never been in for brunch as there are lots of competitive independents in the city, but this was a nice change and I would return.

My experience at Cote York was delightful! The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The food was delicious, and having a quiet table at the front of the restaurant with a window seat allowed us to enjoy both the excellent cuisine and a charming view of the street (particularly as I’m nosey and like to see what’s going on!) I had the rump of lamb with ratatouille and my partner had the moules and frites. Both were cooked well. For dessert, I had the elderflower creme brûlée which was lovely and my partner had the salted caramel chocolate tart which he was delighted with. I highly recommend Cote York for a fantastic dining experience!

My family ate here during a recent mini-break to York. Whilst ordering the next table were complaining that the food wasn't hot - oh dear not a great start!Two of our party ordered the bourguignon and were a bit let down - the meat wasn't good. Anyway we carried on to desserts which were better. When the bill arrived I was surprised to see an "optionl" tip of almost £20 added to thie bill. Who thought this was a good idea?!!! I purposely did not tip due to this and will never return.

Really impressed with the menu and quality of the food. It is clean and you could choose where to sit. We booked in advance as it was for the dinner at the weekend and worried we would not get a table so had to settle for a slightly earlier time, yet half the place was empty - perhaps they leave this for walk ins? Next time will chance this but will visit this chain again.

I’ve been coming to Cote for years on and off with my partner, it’s her favourite french bistro; I’ve never been disappointed, granted it is extremely expensive but the quality has never let us down.Today I visited Cote with a friend who I’ve not seen for a couple of years due to Covid! I recommended Cote as it had been a reliable safe place to eat in York… Sadly it was a disaster, so much so I’m writing my first ever online review…So my friend went outside to vape and was accused of leaving without settling the bill…. I was then approached to settle the bill in his absence, I explained I was waiting on my friend to return before looking at the bill and moments later my friend was being escorted back into the restaurant… with out a doubt the most embarrassed I have ever been… what a disgraceful service!! I am 36 and my friend of similar age, we (hopefully) don’t look like hobos, I can’t understand why it would be thought we wouldn’t pay our bill…. After this experience there isn’t a chance I will ever eat there again.. on top of this I’m checking the bill to see I payed £12 for a service charge I’m now trying to ring the restaurant to challenge the charge but nobody is answering the phone… I refuse to pay a service charge to be embarrassed like that… the staff in a word… ‘chav’

Wonderful food and friendly staff. Premises are lovely and clean and they even made up deserts for our children to take away as they were full up from the beautiful meal we had In my opinion the only thing that let it down is the staff still wearing face masks which to me is a little impersonal.

Visited over the weekend with my family. Granted the restaurant was extremely busy due to the York races being on but the service was still incredibly slow. As a table of 4 we were in there for over 2 hours. Only 3 of us ordered a starter and we didn’t even bother with dessert. One of my party ordered a steak which was vile. She’s not one to complain so didn’t want to kick up a fuss. She couldn’t continue eating the steak. Not wanting it to go to waste the rest of us divided the steak up between us but still couldn’t eat it. The quality of the meat was terrible, it actually smelt foul too. The rest of us had the bourguignon which again just wasn’t pleasant. We suspect that the meat had a mixture of good and cheap cuts mixed in because some pieces were tender, whilst others were very chewy. The meat also didn’t taste great, like the steak. When the bill came we mentioned that we weren’t keen on the food and asked for the gratuity to be taken off the bill. The waiters tone soon changed and at that point we knew that we were no longer welcome. After a short walk around York to walk off the food, 2 of us found ourselves quickly hurrying back to the hotel where we spend majority of the night in the bathroom. And the next day was a very “twitchy” ride home to say the least. My Sunday was then spent in the bathroom all day. So yea. You guys owe me a pack of disinfectant wipes and a bottle of bleach. How do I know it was from this place? All id had was some cereal and a sandwich all day. Nothing that would cause food poisoning.

Loads of choice and our favourite wine, St Chinian is back on the menu. Our server Georgia P, was friendly and ultra efficient, remembering what everyone had ordered and serving the right dish to the right person. She’s a real asset to the restaurant and made the whole experience special. We will be back.

The Service was excellent, and the quality of the food was also superb - in particular the chocolate mousse. My only qualm would be the value of money of the restaurant as I ordered the Burger (which cost £14ish) which although delicious was rather smaller than I had anticipated. In addition to this, the portion of chips was what I would expect if ordering a small portion. I understand that high prices are the norm in restaurants, and I certainly believe the food lived up to these standards, but the quantity of the food was lacking in my opinion

We went here for a meal and as a starter one of us had the asparagus which was divine with a perfectly cooked poached egg.

Everything else was fine and we would definitely return...

Visited this restaurant for 1st time since pandemic started. Been many times before & not had reason to rate it a 3 out of 5 before but on this occasion I felt the standards had gone down hill along with the menu choice. I usually get the Belly Pork. Normally delicious crispy & tender ong with a side of carrots. The carrots have been removed from menu????? My pork was definitely not crispy & it was also tough. We got offered a round of drinks due the extremely long wait for our mains. They made the excuse it was the chef trying to get my pork crispy....... . What a joke. My partner also loves the creme brulle so when we came to order sweets we found that had also been taken off the menu. This is a French restaurant. Creme brulle is French. Highly disappointed. Won't be rushing back

Chain restaurants- what do we think? Over the years, we’ve tended to avoid them where possible but when a French friend gave this chain a surprisingly good review, we thought we’d give it a chance. The York branch is in a great location just near the Minster. Looks small from the outside but goes a long way back so there are plenty of covers. Where Cote scores is that it maintains many of the conventions and decor of higher end restaurants in a less formal setting. Service was good and the food was simple but well prepared and presented. Our crab starter was excellent and I recommend the cheese for dessert where you can choose any 3 from 6 decent French cheeses. Mains were good too. You can have a good night here without breaking the bank. A glass of NV champagne to start is less than £7! Can’t go wrong. Well paced as well. We spent two hours or so for three courses and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Highly recommended.

We always look forward to coming here when visiting York. Pre-booked online on this occasion given circumstances & to avoid disappointment. Arrived 11.45 on a Saturday morning. Restaurant quiet though more people arrived after us. Still open, airy & socially distanced. Staff could not have been more helpful with partner’s onion-related allergy which I mentioned when booking. On arrival they had gone through the menu marking all the choices he could have safely & those to avoid. Very refreshing & much appreciated. The poulet grillee with mushroom sauce (for me) and side of minted peas was heaven. Service was impeccable as usual. It’s quite clear that service charge is included in the bill and we thought it entirely deserved. Tres bien.

First let me say that the Manchester restaurant is my favourite restaurant. I enjoyed a family meal here last week. The food and service very good. However they do not offer the lunchtime special menu at weekends like Manchester does which is a real shame but otherwise great food and drink at reasonable prices. Only one negative is that they didn’t have the wine we ordered and the next wine was 10 pounds dearer it would have been nice if they could have offered a discount as not our fault that they were out of stock

Food was spot on, service was fabulous, waiter was very friendly and everything we ate was well cooked and enjoyable. We didn't expect to have such great and speedy food from what is effectively a large chain restaurant, and it was our first visit but we would definitely go to a Cote again! Whole meal (two and a half course and wine) came to £40 with the EOTHO discount, bargain!

There were jam's on the table and one of our party decided he wanted jam on his toast.As we sat down there was one on the table. however in a deft hand movement the waiter took it away as we ordered.So I got up and found one off another table.... No sooner had he spread the delicious compote on his granary slice than the waiter appeared and vanished that jar away......it became a bit of a joke amongst us.

Ate here last night 4 friends all had different meals and they were all really good. Set menu is there but we mixed and matched. Service was excellent, we were looked after by our waiter Alex who proved to be efficient knowledgeable attentive and polite.Very little waiting time between courses and one of my pet hates cold plates ! Never happened. Would I eat here again, ? Most definitely.

I don't know how they do it but each Cote we have used is the equal of each other. Sevice, quality of food etc. so consistent from place to place. York is no exception. We were early for the lunch menu to be served but no problems. A table found for us and offered drinks to pass the time. Bang on 12 noon and our order taken. Usual high standard of food, quality of service and their set menu's are good value.

We ate fairly early at around 5.45 pm but the restaurant was already fairly busy and by the time we left it was heaving. Bearing in mind how busy it was, the service was good and no problems. We both really enjoyed our food and no complaints. We did have difficulty however in coping with how noisy the restaurant was - sound seeming to be bouncing from wall to ceiling. Not sure it was the building construction causing this or if most of the customers were particularly loudon that evening. We did not like the 7.5% service charge being automatically added to the bill - we much prefer to give tips direct to the staff. Would we go again - yes.

I am a fan of Cote brasseries, only disappointed once in one in Central London. So visiting a friend near York took her as a thank you to it's Cote for lunch last week. We chose the posher Fixed Menu and she was delighted with her Calamari as was I with my Moules. Both starters were more generous than in my local Surrey Cotes. The whole meal was very good value and the waiters [ as always ] were charming. However I was very disappointed on visiting the Ladies to notice that the floor hadn't had a good clean for some time - it was really dirty all around the edges. A stark contrast to the gleaming sink. it made me wonder about the kitchen ! My friend was keen to bring her partner who loves seafood until she saw that.

Chose Cote as it offered a varied vegetarian menu . The restaurant was fairly busy so we were pleased we had booked a table in advance. The food was lovely, perfectly cooked ,everyone enjoyed their meal. We were well looked after by Laura, thank you.

We went around 4.30 pm on a Saturday afternoon. Although not packed, the service and food was good. Can't remember her name but the waitress for our table was excellent.

The crepes were burned. I sent them back. They cooked some more and when they arrived they were hidden under a pool of watery sauce and had the consistency of porridge. Sent them back too. I was asked if there was something else they could bring me but by then, of course, everyone had long finished their food so I declined. Spoiled my 70th birthday lunch for me.

A very enjoyable first visit to this restaurant. The menu boasts plenty of choice and the set menu is excellent value, boasting plenty of options across two price points. The staff were friendly and efficient and one particular thing that we enjoyed (aside from the food!) was the ambiance - it is a very relaxed atmosphere and, unusually for restaurants now, the music level wasn't too loud.

Ok sums it up, a decent enough spot but nothing out of the ordinary. Food, coffee and service were reasonable but lacked any oomph factor. Worth dropping in,don’t expect too much, I suspect it’s mainly aimed at the tourist market

Popped in after doing some shopping in York, a lovely welcome from the staff on a cold day, had the salmon and the belly pork we really enjoyed it, everything was cooked to perfection, which ever cotes restaurant we visit they all have the same high standards and excellent service. We’re looking forward to our next visit.

I have never had a meal in a Cote restaurant before, but after having a very enjoyable meal here in mid December on a visit to York, I can’t wait to try another. My city does not have one, but I will visit another Cote restaurant at my earliest opportunity.

Requested to sit by the window but she said it’s reserved (it was not cleaned). After our meal no one sat on it still.

We travelled 26 mies to York on New Years Day for breakfast at Cote. On arrival at 11.20am we were told that they were no longer serving breakfast and would not be able to serve lunch until noon.As Cote is or was our favourite York restaurant we could hardly beleive the situation which was confirmed by the manager. We decided to leave and enjoyed fish and chips from Drakesjust down the street.

Busy New Year’s Eve, but smiling staff breezed it, excellent set menu (with pairing option) but we stuck with a really good, affordable red wine. Thumbs up from everyone.

La primera orden fue incorrecta, la segunda orden estaba bien hecha. Para el bistec más caro en el menú que esperarías mejor. Cuando llegó mi tercer plato principal, todos habían terminado y les dije que lo retiraran. Habíamos estado en sus más de una hora y todos habían terminado. Cuando hablé con la administrada, ella se disculpó, pero en sus palabras "sucedió lo que quieres que diga". Yo diría que es un desperdicio de comida en un día significativo. Salud

Mi esposo y yo visitamos un ajetreado domingo por la mañana en diciembre. No mucho después de que nos sentáramos, el personal tenía que rechazar a las personas, aunque había mesas libres, supongo que porque no tenían suficiente personal en el trabajo.

Booked this place fairly last minute on 22nd November whilst shopping in York. Arrived a little late but was not a problem at all and shown to our table straight away. Food was faultless, perfectly cooked duck (best duck I’ve ever had) and potato gratin. Steak was also flawless and a perfect medium rare with great sides to accompany it. Desserts were delicious and not over-facing. The best part was definitely the service from the 2 managers: Kieran and Jason. They were constantly running around making sure everything was ok, very attentive to tables and helped other staff members, you can tell they definitely work hard. If it hadn’t been for them two, I would not of been happy with the service at all, you can tell they care about their job and they saved our experience dining at Cote. Thank you Kieran and Jason, we hope to visit again soon!

Im not a huge fan of french food and wasnt sure what to expect but gave it a go. Saturday night reservation and it was packed, but we got shown to table in less than 5 minutes wait. The staff were fantastic and so attentive despite how busy they were. The food exceeded my expectations-the mussels were delicious as were prawn dishes. The biggest surprise was the price, for the service, the quality and portion sizes of food and the gorgeous restaurant your in you expect the bill to be a lot more. First time but definately not my last and look forward to dining there again!!
