Côte Guildford in Guildford - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The most beautiful atmosphere, the best food, and the best staff in the restaurant. The restaurant is cozy and amazing♥️

We have always loved Cote, Guildford, and this latest visit didn't disappoint... The food was really good, and our server, Ahija was so attentive and engaging. For a chain restaurant, Cote always stands out in the individuality of its restaurants, and the result is, in our experience, always good.

Great lunch from walking in the door until leaving a couple of hours later

A solid 4 star. Good service and the food was hot and well presented. It did lack flavour because of seasoning, however so wouldn’t make this my first choice for brunch in Guildford.

Visited at the beginning of the week. The place was really quiet. We walked in & honestly, we’ve had better greetings. A polite Hi how can I help, would’ve been nice. We walked past who I can only assume was the Manager, who lacked any friendliness & looked disgruntled, that we had walked in. We ordered a eggs Benedict, a Cote breakfast & a child’s breakfast. The eggs on the Benedict came out hard, as did the poached eggs with the breakfast. Really disappointing, as I wasn’t expecting to get hard boiled eggs. However, when we addressed this with the young man- he was quick to rectify it & swiftly came back with 4 soft poached eggs on a new plate. Although, minus the rest of my breakfast bits, that he must’ve forgotten was on the plate he had taken. He was the reason I gave 2 stars, for the service. As he was helpful, friendly & efficient in sorting the issue. We use to visit this Cote a while back & it was a lot better then. Throughly disappointed this time.

Came for like lunch for my birthday. Pleasant welcome, good service. Food was good and pleasant surroundings.

Awesome French cuisine in the heart of Guildford.

As always, great food, warm welcome, friendly and knowledgeable staff and excellent value for money.

Had a great time here on a Sunday evening. Service (blonde lady with amazing smile) was exemplary: attentive, helpful, professional, engaging... Everything really. Excellent work. Food was delicious. I'm a bit a French foodie but I couldn't find fault at all. Restaurant was clean, as were the toilets and for a Sunday evening the atmosphere was good. Excellent work all round would revisit (in fact we did, the following evening as there's plenty on the menu not to get bored quickly... Our waitress that evening was equally as good, dark haired, maybe Spanish lady... Who knows, I'm guessing!). Anyway, this is the best Côte I've been to and worth checking out if you're in or around Guildford.

Very warm welcome and the waiter spoke French. The whole team enjoyed their dish.

Impeccable service! It is a relief that good quality food and service still exists. 3 courses and 2 drinks each for just under £90 for the quality of food and taste is amazing. The staff were evening training new staff whilst we went but if you don’t eat out much, you wouldn’t have even noticed. Also a big must to try is the matcha eclair. Thank you Côte for making my partners birthday meal so special.

fantastic evening at Côte Guildford, excellent vegan menu, will definitely be back!

Last service on a Sunday sitting. Well looked after ordinarily, this visit waiter spilled wine on my friend and brought out chipped glasses. Food was high quality traditional English, but steaks slightly overdone. Despite this I would go back at a more reasonable timing.

Service is very good and helpful. Dinning environment is nice. Food acceptable

I told them I was under time pressure Service was brilliant. Was out in good time The food was delicious

Really good food, we were a group of 7 and were made so welcome.

Good food with reasonable price.

Fantastic restaurant and great experience

A huge thank you to our waitress Aggie (I hope I’m spelling that right!) who helped my family this evening when we visited. Aggie was so kind and helpful for us and she was an absolute delight to meet! The food was also outstanding, we’ve been going to Cote for years and the food tonight was some of the best we’ve had - we suspect there might be a new head chef. Thank you Cote team and Aggie for making our night so special 🖤

We had an amazinggggg waitress called Hope, she was so lovely and welcoming, so nice to talk to. Pure vibes. And the food was amazing :)

Everything about this French restaurant is lovely. The food, the service, the ambience, even the price. The first I tried was in May 2019 in Hampstead, and I’ve hooked ever since. I’d definitely go again when I visit the UK next time. 🥰

Andre made our entire night. Wonderful service beginning to end. Food was lovely - mussels, steak frites, onion soup and beef cheeks, all recommended! Kids menu was varied and yummy!

Cute place, very helpful staff and good service, chocolate mousse was good.

Great proper food, the service is good but they could be more attentive.

Never disappointed with an experience at Côté Bistro!

They have the best chef in town

Great food and the service was really excellent. Highly recommend.

⭐️Pear & Walnut Salad Use baby spinach to add pears and walnuts and add a few more ⭐️Charcuterie Board Normal nothing special ⭐️Sea Bass Rouge The skin is crispy and the meat is tender, but the potatoes are a bit undercooked🤣 ⭐️Steak Frites I like to eat thicker cuts of steak🤭 ⭐️Crêpe au Chocolat It’s okay. The chocolate sauce is delicious. ⭐️Creme Caramel This is the most outstanding thing all the time. I want to eat this pudding.

The Cote de Boeuf is excellent even if at a considerable price. It is still the restaurant where I ate best in England.

We had a very enjoyable evening. The atmosphere was very relaxing, the food was excellent and arrived promptly and the staff were very friendly and efficient. There was an excellent kid’s menu and the staff were really lovely with our 2 and a half year old. We felt very welcomed and had a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Thank you all so much.

Im sorry but i ordered a baguette and got given a triangle piece of bread with barely any bacon in it. Unbelievable!

What can I say after giving 3 x 5 stars? except a special thank you to our waitress Agija, who is always very competent and friendly

Warmly welcomed and swift service of good honest food with a French flavour. A perfect lunchtime birthday treat.

Perfect Brunch. Try Benedict! Amazing atmosphere. Friendly stuff.

Calm and attentive service and some lovely food. Perfect for a lunch.

Côte is quite widespread in the UK and in terms of quality, as a chain it's not bad at all. I really like their Alpine Chocolat Chaud, adding chocolate sauce and vanilla cream to the warm milk and it bubbles, very tasty to drink 😋! My Fish Stew was also quite good to eat, but the steaks were just so-so, frying it at home would be better 😅! #KissKidsFamily

Staff were lovely and the atmosphere was cozy. Unfortunately the food is quite average, it didn't really wow us and it was okay at best.

took my family of 6 to lunch last Sunday and would certainly not recommend sirloin steak which I and my son ordered. It was very chewy with grissle on the perimeter of both steaks. I asked for rare and it arrived well done. I chose not to complain at the table due to my young grandchildren present. On paying the expensive bill at the end I made my comments to the manager who seemed not in the slightest interested and was in fact somewhat dismissive of my feedback. She took down my email but two days later received no feedback. Typical of a company trading on its name rather than quality of food in my experience. It is generally not as good as it purports to be.

Great, friendly service. Lovely food and friendly staff. Thank you

I'm a great fan of Cote Guildford but very disappointed today. The French Toast was changed, loads of Creme Fraiche on top with sparse amount of fruit. Please consider changing this back to usual standard with lashing of fruit & small amount of Creme Fraiche. Staff were fabulous as always making us welcome with great service from Valentine, Kosta & Eve.

It's always a pleasure. Never had a bad experience at Cote

Great service and friendly staff.

The difference between the Cote in Guildford and the one in Farnham is crystal clear. The people. In one the dining experience is warm, welcoming, attentive and customer orientated, in the other you are made to feel like an inconvenience, blocking a table and not paying enough to be worth their attention. The Guildford branch trumps Farnham on every measure and it is the quality of the management and staff that makes a world of difference.

Lovely lunch with an old colleague. The fixed price lunch is good value and the staff and ambiance were good

A fabulous breakfast experience is always a great start to the day!

We place this restaurant top of the table for pre-theatre supper in Guildford. The selection of dishes is excellent, value for money very good and the attentive, rapid, polite service is a winner.

Really good food, helpfully staff

Went for a relatively quick meal prior to going to the theatre and we were pleased we chose Cote

Lovely place to eat, service excellent, there is a gluten free menu as well. The staff are very friendly. Food is quality.

Warm welcome, nice atmosphere, wholesome tasty food and good wine all fairly priced.

Went there on Boxing Day. Food was quick as delicious, and staff were very friendly.

A group booking of 12 for Christmas. The staff were welcoming & very helpful. All of our preordered food arrived correctly, was piping hot and delicious. We were served at the same time and it was such a pleasure to have a large group meal with no complications. Thank you to the staff for a smooth and enjoyable evening

Slightly hot in the premises. Apart from that 5*

Love dining here. Great atmosphere, good menu, and always busy.

Good service, nice location and a pleasant lunch with friends

Had a lovely relaxing lunch with the family, Well done to all the staff, brilliant

Attended Cote Guildford with my daughter, son-in-law and grandson. Ordered 3 English breakfasts. My grandson chose poached eggs on toast. The English breakfasts consisted of a large uncooked rockhard tomato taking up considerable space on the plate, cold insipid tasting bacon, a sausage that tasted like sawdust, fatty lukewarm mushrooms and potato wedges. A very unsatisfactory and disappointing experience. PS The above complaint has been satisfactory addressed by Cote and I'm very happy with the very positive outcome. As the saying goes, "There's always a next time."

Excellent food in very pleasant surroundings.

Always a great place to stop for lunch during our Xmas shopping day!

The food was delicious the calamari was some of the best I've ever had. The time it took to arrive was a bit long but I understand as it was busy.

Had pre 7pm set menu, was good value for money. Good service & atmosphere.

As always a very enjoyable meal at this friendly bistro. Never disappoints, always grear service and cuisine! Be back again soon!

I had the lamb rump and lentils and the pear and almond financier for lunch today. So good. Nicest meal I've had in a long time. Staff were very allergies aware.

Very disappointed as wherever we are if we need a meal. Cote is our go-to restaurant as our local Cote is always reliable for pleasant meal. Staff off hand, food not ip to normal expectations.

This was a pre-show meal. The food was served efficiently, it tasted good and the service was friendly and welcoming. Despite relatively short time scales my wife and I ate in a relaxed atmosphere and left in good time for the show. It was a great way to start an evening out.

Lovely food and excellent service from Andrea

This was our first visit. Cozy restaurant with nice decor. Friendly staff. Our dishes - duck confit and fish stew - were tasty, but they lacked the richness of flavor that emphasized the expressiveness of the dishes. This was our experience.

We chose the Fixed Price menu for a pre-theatre supper for five of us. The food choice, quality and portion size were spot on. The service was attentive and very prompt throughout. Overall it was excellent value for money.

Great breakfast. Our go to place on a Saturday morning.

It was my partners birthday. We were made to feel so incredibly special. I took in a 🎂& 🎈at lunchtime andrey took them & said he would sort it. He let me pick a table. From that moment Nothing was too much trouble. I called tge restaurant and they answered & said everything is ready, don't worry, see you soon. We had the steak to share which melted in the mouth & my partner said the best steak he had ever had. The complimentary glass of prosecco was such a lovely touch & our waiter took some photos of us. 1 is so lovely we are having made into a canvas to hang on the wall. The experience your team created made memories that will last a lifetime. We have both been raving about how brilliant cote was to our friends and family. My partner had never been to a cote before and can't wait to go back. You have 2 cote customers for life!! We can't thank you enough for the effort that you put in to making us feel special. If we could give you 6 🌟 or 10 wece would!! To anyone deciding between cote and another restaurant please go to cote you won't be disappointed. You will find a little gem 💎 of a restaurant with an experienced team that are well trained and care about their customers

Every time I have visited this location I have had nothing but excellent service, excellent food/drink and an excellent time

Great value,great food,very friendly service very busy and loud,if you want quiet no good as it is popular with lots of people

From beginning to end this was a really lovely trip. The staff were friendly and helpful, the restaurant had a fantastic buzz and the food was exceptional. Andrea, our server, was thoughtful and made sure we were looked after exceptionally.

Parents held their 60th wedding anniversary for 21 people. The service and food was excellent and staff were very attentive. Highly recommended. Thank you Cote.

Apresentação dos pratos Excelente, atendimento exemplar!

Nice French restaurant, friendly waiters. The starter (Crab Maison) was somewhat neutral but the Fish Stew exceeded my expectations. It’s a chain but they are doing their best in Guildford to make the experience nice and tasty.

If I'm honest, this wasn't the greatest experience. My beef burginon was ok with large chunks of slow cooked beef, however the rest of my group had the steak and ended up cutting more off than eating.

André, Andrea and the team went above and beyond

Lovely meal, excellent food and excellent service. Really enjoyed it.

Italian service it's always the best Andrea!!

Heerlijk gegeten in een ongedwongen sfeer. Vriendelijke en aardige bediening. Neem wel de tijd voor je er gaat eten, maar het is de moeite meer dan waard. Opmerkelijk: water bij aanvang is gratis!

Went in for breakfast. Had the vegetarian English breakfast which was good. French toast was a treat, soft, fluffy and yum. Staff are great and the ambience makes a great place to spend a wonderful morning

Perfect place to catch up with friends... delicious food!

Date night with my husband for our anniversary. Food was delicious and service was great. We were given a complementary glass of Prosecco on arrival which was lovely. The only downside was that they close at 10pm on a Saturday, we may have ordered another wine otherwise as the atmosphere was nice.

Had such a great breakfast here with my wife and 3 year old today! Excellent service without being overbearing, they made *such* a tasty "babyccino" for our little one, my vegan breakfast was scrumptious (best vegan bacon and sausages I've had) and my wife really enjoyed her Eggs Benedict. Great coffees too!

We had the most amazing cheese souffle for starters here. The food was incredible. Our waiter was attentive and we never waited long for drinks or food. We had a great experience and would highly recommend.

My food was alright, my partner had the chicken and it was bone dry, like it had been re-cooked, for the price I would expect it to be cooked to order. Also they don't accept cash

Staff were lovely and friendly. The atmosphere was lovely. The food was incredible, one of best meals me and my husband have had.

Awful. Gone downhill. Messed up our order and. Burger so overcooked it was inedible.

Great restaurant. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. My mum had a small wedding party (10 people) here and it was lovely. Very good for allergies. With little flags on the dairy free options we picked. Overall I would definitely visit again. The food was very good.

Really delicious food and a great atmosphere. It is a bit on the expensive side, but is worth it. The staff are friendly and attentive, too. One waiter in particular was fantastic with my young daughter, chatting away to her, and making us all feel comfortable.

Great service and food as per usual. Always impressed with the food, service and atmosphere - thank you!!

Good food, good varied menu for food and wine, friendly efficient staff, decent value for money

Dinner for two. Saturday night. Table reservations at 8. Although Service was efficient and food was served fairly quickly but I just feel that we were being rushed. Sat night by 10 / 10:30pm restaurant was empty. Which was rather weird. Mediocre setting.

Great service, nice chill atmosphere. Best burger I've ever had.

Went for a pre theatre dinner with friends. Starters were nice and most of the mains were ok but I had the steak frites and i think it should have been marketed as cardboard and frites. It was so dry, so tough and so tasteless it was disgusting……worst steak I have ever had. I’ve been to cote before and had this and it was lovely but not tonight. Although the staff were very friendly we were having a conversation about restaurant chains and the opinion of the waiter was not asked for or appreciated. It’s certainly put me off going there again

Great food and friendly service..

Excellent service and excellent food what else could you want. Will definitely be returning 😃

Had a great birthday lunch here.

Very cozy French bistro in Guildford, friendly staff and reasonable price. I have been here several times and overall food is around average, don’t order steak frites, take the ribeye instead.
