Côte Norwich in Norwich

Really enjoyable taste food! The kids meny was also of high quality.

NY Eve...requested a specific table, didn't get it - I accept that such requests are subject to availability. However, on arrival, my disabled wife and our 85 year old guest had to wait over 10 minutes to be seated, which wasn't a positive start. Once seated it was pretty obvious that many of the staff simply didn't want to be there and to make matters worse, many of the items on the NY Eve special menu were unavailable. The food was on the whole was very good, but everything else was limp at best. Usually have good experiences at Cote, but for NY Eve, I will definitely go elsewhere in future.

A recent visit to Cote Norwich confirmed that they are one of the few consistently good large group restaurant chains. Located in a quiet street away from the city centre the interior reminds you of a authentic French bistro. The food was perfectly cooked and presented and the staff were friendly and attentive. Let's hope that Cote remains for the foreseeable future in as many locations as possible.

Fabulous lunch, lovely food and service

I can not fault your team at Norwich. I have been quite a few times over the last 12 months and it is always a good experience.

Appalling. Upgrade to a 10 oz sirloin, I've carved thicker slices of beef. It was less than a cm thick. The cheese plate, 3 tiny bits of cheese. Avoid overpriced crap

Came here for Xmas dinner. Food was seasoned well, atmosphere was excellent and all the servers were very kind. Beef tartar was fantastic!

Have been a few times before and have never been let down. Overall a great experience

We were greeted with a friendly smile from a member of the staff enjoyed our meal with friends, top quality food and well presented. Can highly recommend

Great service, good frice, food fresh and tasty. One of our regular places for breakfast or dinner.

We had an absolutley fantastic work Christmas party here. We were a table of 19 but the speed and attentiveness of the team at Cote you wouldn’t have thought we were such a large party! The food was incredible, drinks were delivered so quickly and plates/glasses weren’t long left empty on the table. Fantastic service food and atmosphere 10/10! Rebecca Roberts

The food was amazing, great taste and lovely presentation. Staff were attentive, offering extra drinks. We were told there was a delay with food but this wasn’t noticeable to us.x

2024 12 14 We came for a last minute lunch as we had a voucher to use. It was busy which was nice. The food was ok. Just ok 2024 10 31 We haven't been here for a while. We came for an anniversary with friends who has never been. The food was good but my wife found the pumpkin soup a bit thin and restless but we enjoyed our visit. We have been a visitor on many occasions . We recently went on a weekday. We arrived 10 minutes early and when we were greeted at the door we were asked to choose a table which we did but were immediately told it was not available. It had no reserved sign on it. (During the time we were there no one came and sat there) We then ordered food and waited ages as other people who arrived quite some time after us ordered and got their food. In the end I had to ask a waiter who stood consulting a tablet for ages to be told "it coming"..... No apology, no explanation.... The food was ok ... Just ok A disappointing visit. We come here often. It'll be quite a while before we return. There are other restaurants in Norwich

Very nice meal whilst seeing Norwich Xmas lights.

I love Cote but it is a little expensive so it's usually a very rare treat to eat here.

My mum had an asthma attack while dining here and the staff were fabulous arranging a taxi and helping her feel comfortable - they also didnt charge her for the meal she couldn't finish . Big thanks to the team working there

Came here for a birthday, one starter and 4 mains. Waited over an hour for mains. No one let us know what's happening or going on. No chance I'll be coming back here.

I went there for the first time recently and tried their Christmas menu. I liked everything I had. For starters I had Brulee Camembert. For the main I had the Salt-Baked Celeriac with a side of brussel sprouts. For dessert I had the Clementine & Pistachio Mess (that was a bit too sweet for me). These were good vegetarian options and I would recommend trying these for sure. I would like to mention that since it seems like a busy place it's good to do a pre booking. Also there was a delay in between the dishes. Even though we had pre-ordered our lunch, it felt like it took longer to be served, it could be because the restaurant was pretty busy.

Lovely food, great menu. Really like this chain and Norwich wasn't a disappointment. 🤤👌

We had a very memorable meal at Cote Norwich on the 20th November.The staff were very friendly,food fabulous.Would highly recommend.

Lovely meal with super friendly staff

Really great evening. Helpful staff and great food. Highly recommend it.

Lovely food & atmosphere. Server was a tad too 'eager'. Hovered while we were looking at the menu & loitering while we were finishing eating. Felt like they were in a rush to get us moving on.

Fantastic value for money, great food and service.

We eat here because the GF menu has a good range and overlaps with the non GF. Thus allowing us to share the lime & passion fruit crème brûlée, which was a delicious take on a favourite classic. The pork belly was perfect with crispy skin, gooey fat and succulent meat served on a bed of savoy cabbage, accompanied by dauphinois potatoes. 957 calories should you care to know - we didn’t as it’s not something to eat frequently and neither of us needed supper. Service dropped a star for offering us the table next to the wheelchair access toilet in a virtually empty restaurant. The door opens outwards…. When my friend politely declined, she was offered the next table, so asked to sit in the main area as usual. The tables around us were still not all in use when we left at 1.30.

I recently dined at Côte Restaurant and had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, with each dish prepared to perfection. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it an ideal spot for a relaxed meal. The staff were friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout, ensuring we felt well taken care of. The menu offered a great selection of classic French dishes, all with fresh, quality ingredients. Overall, Côte Restaurant provided a delightful dining experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic French cuisine and exceptional service.

Would have given 5☆ for food if more options for DF. Great place to meet friends, the staff are very friendly and helpful and great atmosphere 😀

I popped in for a quick lunch - I was taken aback by the quality of the service, the choice of menu and the food was delicious.

Dropped in for late lunch. Excellent food. Staff friendly.

All the staff were lovely. Food was great. Lovely atmosphere

Lovely food, very friendly staff and a good atmosphere, we will be back

Cote can always be relied on to deliver. Our meal at Cote Norwich was lovely. Very warm service from host, and complimentary glass of Cremant sparkling wine after signing up to the newsletter made it that extra bit special. We’ll be back!

A great place to enjoy breakfast/brunch with a continental feel. The staff were attentive and happy. The food was well prepared and presented although one of my poached eggs was overcooked Thank you

The sharing platter was amazing!

We had dinner with colleagues. We were more than 12 persons and it was simply great from the service and the food quality. All went so smoothly which made us a great experience. The cost is also very well positioned to make the restaurant in the best place. I would definitely recommend it for everyone and will come back certainly. Thanks for all the restaurant team.

We had a fantastic tasty 3 course meal today including x1 drink each extra side dish including service charge 64 pounds for 2 ,really tasty

Our experience at Côte Brasserie - Norwich was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived until we left. We felt welcomed and pampered by the food and the service. As we have celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary we would like to say a big thank you to Daniel who has made our celebration even more special. We highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you. We will be back soon.

Exceptional service and food - prices are fantastic for the amount of food and quality of the food.

Ignore anything less than a 5 star review, Service great and Jenny the manger is amazing xx

We usually prefer independent restaurants rather than larger chains, but this is an exception. Cheese board in particular was excellent, and excellent value too.

Just eaten lunch at jenny’s restaurant. What a Lovely lady and a wonderful host. We had such a lovely relaxed lunch. Food is so good and tasty. All of the waiting staff are also lovely and excellent.

We went for a family meal and all the food was well presented. I had steak which was cooked to my liking and tasted delicious. The services was very attentive even though it was Saturday night. It was a little noisy for my mum who is 92.

Friendly quick service..steak frites perfect French

Visited as a large group (20) no pre-order offered on the meals so the orders were taken on arrival. This was my first visit. After hearing so many good reviews, I was excited to try the food here. Absolute carnage is the only way I could describe the evening. The majority of the food was delivered well presented but unfortunately cold, two steaks and a burger meal were returned to the kitchen on two occasions and in the end they decided not to eat, as by the time their food had arrived everyone else had finished, only to have to send them back again. The kids meals, which should have been delivered first, were delivered 10mins after the first meals hit the table, at an unacceptable temperature (cold). The tables were cramped with different sized eating spaces for us, some of us almost sat on each other's laps. The chef absolutely let the front of house team down that evening.. The ONLY redeeming feat from our visit was the front of house team and the manageress, were incredible, helpful, polite and patient. A £600+ bill at the end after reductions and 2x free bottles of wine as an apology. This was still too much for the food we received, but we paid and left to find somewhere to feed the 3 that didn't eat. Please do not book a large, important gatherings here (this was an 18th birthday).. the chef will let you down.. And lastly, please clean the mirrored surfaces in the dining area. They were disgusting.

Love this restaurant been numerous times

Popped in for lunch, no queue and no booked table, straight in, service excellent food also excellent.

A lovely quiet breakfast to finish off a lovely little break. I ordered the french breakfast (black pudding was amazing). However the stand out of the breakfast oddly was the humble mushroom. Staff were very friendly and attentive. The wife had french toast which was a huge portion. I added a sausage, did not need too!

Lovely meal. Very sedated. Waiter kindly let us sit at a larger table

We came on Thursday around 4:30 pm for some dessert. The lady that served us looked so inconvenienced by us. Not only did she go to the table across from us twice, but completely ignored us that I had to physically get up my chair to get her to get our orders. Throughout our time in the restaurant we felt like we were imposing. Will not be coming here again.

Good food, great service. Food is advertised.

Group of 4! Excellent service: attentive but not intrusive! Helpful and knowledgeable re dishes! Excellent flavoured food and very tastefully presented! Wine - vg! Not hurried! Great atmosphere! Definitely will return & recommend!

A nice quiet table for 3 people as requested

Impromptu dinner here having just arrived in Norwich. Our food was delicious and the service was great!

Good food, good service nothing to complain about.

Really enjoyable experience. Made very welcome

My son took myself and his mum here as a birthday treat for her. When we visited on an early Sunday evening there was plenty of space for us to sit, although having pre booked we were shown to out seats on entry. All the staff were attentive to our needs and nothing seemed to be too much trouble for them. The food was delicious, we opted for the fixed price menu which had plenty of options and all the food was delicious. Our meal was great value for money. The drinks were slightly more expensive than I'd like, but there was some really nice options for soft drinks. I was apprehensive about going as it is not the type of place I generally frequent, but I would readily recommend to anyone now.

Waitress was amazing also food and wine great. will go again next weekend

Lovely food and great service at the beginning of the evening, but it waned a bit towards the end.

We had a meal in the cote Norwich for last Valentine's day and very impressed about the food and the service. So we again decided to have a meal for our Wedding Anniversary. We are particularly interested in CÔTE DE BOEUF( 22oz Ribeye steak sharing for 2). We booked the seats by on-line then my husband phoned them directly and tell them we want to have that dish for our special day. The lady who taken the phone said no problem and they hold the meat for us. Also my husband phoned before the day for re-confirm about this request, then again they said no problem. On the day of our Wedding Anniversary, we arrived the restaurant on time and just after took the seats, the lady who seems the manager of the restaurant informed us CÔTE DE BOEUF is not available. She said we can still order normal Ribeye steak. But that's not the same isn't it? From the picture, CÔTE DE BOEUF is huge chunk of the meat with the bone! We were very upset and disappointed. We are not live in Norwich, traveled 40 minutes by car for this occasion. So we decided to walk away. Later, my husband sent a e-mail to the company for complain about this but we still haven't get any reply. We think their service was out of order and won't use the restaurant in Norwich again.

Good food and reasonable cost. Service was good as was the atmosphere. They had a problem with delivery of baguettes which was discussed. However, I would have thought for a cheese board they could have come up with a better alternative than sliced white bread. Surely they could have procured something locally from some of the great bakeries in Norwich or provided crackers.

Decided to book a table at the restaurant to celebrate a graduation. On arrival, one of the managers came straight out with a ramp to navigate a big step. Although the ramp was steep, my electric wheelchair managed ok. There was plenty of room inside the restaurant despite being busy, and we were shown to our table near an accessible toilet. The service was quick but not rushed, and we were soon given drinks and food. Although the price of the food was a little expensive, the food was delicious and well presented. Everyone in our party had a fantastic meal and experience. Would highly recommend.

Excellent food and service. What's not to like.

Went with my family for my graduation celebration meal. The food was stunning, a bit pricey but it was 100% worth it. The staff were lovely and were very patient and attentive, especially with my elderly grandparents.

Lovely, friendly staff, delicious food, great wine - fab evening!!!

We visited Cote yesterday and it was wonderful. Great service, great food. We will definitely come back again!

Couldn't fault the service but the food was very overpriced although tasty

We had a lovely birthday supper. The food was excellent and the service was superb.

This was simply wonderful.Everything from the welcome to the food to the care and attention given to everything. A first class breakfast that extended into lunchtime and had the best deserts as a real treat.

Absolutely loved it here. Separate gluten free menu, great with dietary requirements! So many options to choose from. It’s bigger than it looks on the inside, and has great decor. Staff are wonderful and I felt very well taken care of.

Excellent value for quality food and attentive service- reliably good

Beautiful food and drinks for a very reasonable price. The atmosphere is quiet and romantic and perfect for a date night.

We were passing, tired & hungry, & were inspired to pop in rather than plod home. Luckily we arrived before the rush as we hadn’t booked. Excellent service from Georgina & delicious food as ever. Can recommend the Wye Valley Asparagus as a starter.

Really friendly staff, accommodating and wonderful atmosphere

Great food, excellent service, would definitely recommend

A pretty disappointing meal overall. I haven’t been in well over a year but it’s historically been the best fillet steak and creamed spinach I’ve had. This time the cut of meat was very fatty to the point where I had to send it back and get another one. The second steak was much better but unfortunately parts of it were rare rather than medium rare, but by this point I didn’t want another. The creamed spinach was also disappointing - just watery and with grilled cheese on the top which they didn’t used to do? Sharing dessert presented very poorly but did taste lovely. Staff were polite and attentive but I did expect them to perhaps give us the dessert for free or some money off etc due to the meal being poor. Atmosphere wise it was fine but the toilets were dirty and had no soap for the duration of our visit.

Absolutely amazing meal, Charlotte was our server and wow she was great very knowledgeable and nothing was too much!

Portion size is no joke here! I was planning to have a three-course meal but had to settle for two courses because I could barely finish them. The dishes were really interesting and creative. I did enjoy my main. The servers are very busy, so they can be less attentive, but overall it was still a fantastic experience for me.

Had a lovely evening. Staff were warm and attentive and paid us attention without being intrusive 5 star food and service

Lovely food, served up by a friendly and welcoming team. The portion sizes are just right.

Quite pricey especially if you want to try a few things, but good service and nice atmosphere

Had an excellent meal with cocktails here last week. There was a great deal on which meant the cocktails were free and the staff were helpful and just attentive enough. Would definitely recommend.

Delicious food and excellent service.

We really enjoyed our meal here and found it reasonably priced. Service was excellent too unlike a local steakhouse we tried the night before which was abysmal. We would return. The only complaint we had was the pasta dish on the children’s menu was ridiculously small and feel wouldn’t really even feed a toddler let alone an older child. This does need to be reviewed, especially given the price of pasta is fairly small.

Another to draw Cote, great food excellent service and good friendly staff. The complementary bottle of red was greatly appreciated

Sadly not up to previous visits,

Excellent food at very reasonable price.

We booked as we passed the restaurant, we were a party of 5 & returned at 4.30. During our time there the the resturant became very busy. Which was good to see. The food was as good as on our passed visits to their chain of resturants.

A find, surprisingly large restaurant, very welcoming, good food, great service. Gave advice on dishes including possible food intolerance. Great place, should book very popular, family friendly.

Excellent food I had beef it was tasty and succulent.

Really lovely meal we all enjoyed everything we ordered.

We had a delicious lunch - everything was really flavoursome, and nice and hot. Friendly service from the moment we walked in the door. Glad we found you, we will be back!

A popular venue. The team were all good. From the person who greeted us, through the team that took orders and those runners who brought the food from the kitchen. The food was great value and good quality. We went for the fixed price lunch menu. What's not to like. Cote is a good brand we are relatively new to. Happily return/use another venue. A pleasant experience. We spent £55 on two courses and a glass of wine each.

To many people cramed into the room.not enough space between tables.

Great service with delicious dishes

Lovely place for a great value lunch.

Always very good food and excellent service. Staff really friendly and the prix fixe options are always very good. Our favourite restaurant

5 different plates at our table and all were bland and underwhelming. A pale manufactured imitation of real French food. But the thing that'll stop us ever coming back will be the mandatory £10 service charge

Excellent set lunch menu. I recommend the steak frites. Really good service and for a chain nice toilets.

It's always a pleasure to go to Côte, in Norwich! 😍 the staff is so welcoming and friendly, warm atmosphere, awesome and delicious food ! 5* for the team there, from the moment they welcom you with their door wide open till the moment you leave the building they make sure that you are fully satisfied! ❤️ Thank you, Côte Norwich team !

Nice restaurant. But the food on our last visit was less than average. Asked for the lamb to be cooked medium. Came well done. Parts of the pork belly was so hard around the edge it was not edible. Think I will go back to ordering steak and Frits .
