Côte St Katharine Docks in Tower Hamlets

A charming place to grab Sunday Roast. The patio has plenty of seating that is shaded. The staff is friendly and the service is speedy.

Great restaurant! Nice atmosphere and delicious food! I recommend it!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely fantastic experience at Cote next to Tower Bridge! The steak was cooked to perfection—beautifully rare, tender, and bursting with flavor. Every bite was a delight. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with excellent service that made us feel truly welcome. The location is perfect, offering lovely views and a relaxed ambiance. A must-visit for steak lovers and anyone looking for a top-tier dining experience. Highly recommend!

We love dining at SKD! The team are amazing! They are so welcoming and attentive to us, making us feel special and well looked after. Thank you to everyone from front of house to the kitchen!

Great location with fantastic service and very tasty food. If you want a relaxed start into the day, this is the place to go for a delicious breakfast.

Good restaurant with great views of the docks. I went for breakfast and I enjoyed it. The food was very tasty, good quality and cooked well. It was a generous size and good value for money. It was part of a deal with a hot drink and fruit juice, the pot of tea was good quality, so was the orange juice. The menu includes something for everyone, including vegetarians and vegans, and the prices are very reasonable. The service was fast and friendly, but it was early. I enjoyed it and I will visit again.

As ever, Cote did not let us down. Superb lunch from the "prix fixe" menu. Attentive and charming service. We have been to Cote in Exeter a few times, and once to the branch at St Paul's, London. Always consistent, and always really enjoyable; St Katherine's Dock to the same excellent standard. Thank you, and look forward to another visit before too long!

Excellent meal and service - thank you Ebony for looking after our group of 11 so well. The menu is great. I enjoyed tasty scallops and duck, followed by a delicious passionfruit creme brulee.

We had breakfast here, I had the French toast, it was nice and I enjoyed it, but it wasn’t anywhere near the best French toast I’ve ever had - think on par with what you could make at home. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing special.

Lovely experience, sitting over looking the boats, attentive friendly staff, food was delicious, pork was amazing, salmon to die for. definitely will be back

Excellent service and great quality food. We have been for breakfast two days running during our stay in London. Service was extremely polite and efficient, and the Breakfast Complet was fantastic value and quality. Added to this, the stunning outlook over St Katharine's Dock made this a most memorable experience. Highly recommended.

our favourite consistently-good restaurant where we go to celebrate things. Staff always friendly, quality always good and useful to have specials/seasonal offerings so we don't exhaust the menu . yes it's a chain/multiple but it just does what it does really well without breaking the bank. And this one is a lovely location.

Fantastic food and service . Our waitress was amazing the manager was also great. We had the beef to share and it was cooked to perfection . I really could not fault anything about this place , simply impeccable. It was my wife’s birthday and they made her day a free small desert .😃

Everything was perfect but I can’t find the toilets and I really need a piss. Editing like 2 mins later and crisis is averted

Nice place for lunch or dinner food ok friendly service good menu.

Amazing food. As a french living in London, this is some of the best quality-quantity-price you can get. I've been there several times and it's always been excellent food and service. Thank you particularly to Parnos, whose service has been exceptional following some food I had requested over the phone prior to my visit. Thank you Parnos and thanks to every chef working in this restaurant!

Do not recommend based on food or service, pretty location is all it has to offer. Took 20 minutes to get a server to take our order, only after flagging a different server down, then had to repeat our entire order to a different server because they were confused. Fish was grey and tasted like it was sitting in a fridge for a week, chicken was like rubber. Overall not a good experience.

Had a lovely evening tonight at this particular Cote brasserie - food and service great. A special mention goes to Stevene who was extremely attentive and friendly

We booked dinner for New Years Eve which was a set menu for £49.95. Had a really lovely evening, great atmosphere in the restaurant and all the staff were really lovely . I would definitely recommend for a special NYE. The food was great, and we weren't rushed so still at our table when the clock struck 12. Loved it all.

I came here at opening for breakfast and it seemed odd at the time there were only 2 people working at the time (or that is what it seemed). Got seated and took a while to get or drinks and ordered taken, on top of that it took time for our drinks to come out when we only ordered juice for the table. Food came out and it did its job, to fill me up. Wasn't above and beyondd and beans were eh and eggs a little runny.

Pretty good but slightly unflavourful

One of the best spots I have visited in London. The service was absolutely perfect. We chose the special New Year's Eve menu, and it was incredibly delicious. I highly recommend it!

Been here a number of times. A local favourite. Never had to wait long for a table and the food, service and pricing is excellent!

We booked their Christmas menu and thought that the location of this Côte would make it even better. It wasn't too busy for a weekend lunch, but big tables made it very noisy. The service was ok and the food was served quickly. I think the 3 course menu is good value for money, and the food is well executed. I had the smoked salmon rillettes which were excellent. The roast turkey ballotine was not dry at all and was tasty, but I would have liked some green vegetables too with the carrots. Somehow the crispy confit potatoes were disappointing. They were similar to hash browns more than roast potatoes. As dessert I had Clementine and pistachio mess, which was good but a bit too sweet for my taste.

Great restaurant, lovely food and a great atmosphere .. would really recommend

This is one of my favourite Cote restaurants. It has a lovely atmosphere - the booths are especially cosy. The Christmas set menu was great value and tasty.

The food was very delicious. Our waiter's suggestions were always good. The atmosphere is also very nice. However, as the place gets crowded in the later hours, the noise level increases. I guess there is not much that can be done about it :)

This is a really excellent restaurant. The staff could not be more helpful. Recently when we arrived for our pre-booked table of 6, there was a bit of a delay as the current diners had not vacated the table yet. We were offered a complimentary drink whilst we waited, but one of our company wanted a drink that Cote do not stock, so the manager offered to get it from the pub next door- and he did just that! The restaurant was very busy but all the staff were very friendly and professional. The meal was excellent and is very good value in our opinion. Well done to everyone who works there- you are a credit to the restaurant business.

Overall great experience. Maybe slightly deduction for service, one item we ordered was forgotten. Loved how they came around and offered champagne, would have been nice for a non-alcoholic version for those who were not drinking.

We visited Côte to celebrate a friends birthday. We was warmly welcomed by Julia and staff provided excellent service and made us feel very comfortable. Julia went out of her way to make our celebration very special. Highly recommend.

Stayed in st Katherine's dock and had the most amazing breakfast, enjoyed it so much that we booked for dinner that evening. Once again excellent food and service, thank you.

Cote previously has always been very good with the service and atmosphere. Unfortunately, maybe it was a bad-night, but the service was not as good as it usally is. I also sadly overheard a staff member swear aloud which did damper the mood of the evening a little bit. There were empty plates left on the table and glasses and no eagerness to take them away. We had to be proactive and ask for them to be taken away. Given the wide selection of nearby resturants - I would reconsider going back.

Tonight was absolutely incredible! I wanted to make the evening extra special for my partner, and Juan, the manager at St. Katharine Docks, made sure it was everything I hoped for and more. From the moment we arrived, his kindness and attention to detail stood out. He went out of his way to recommend the perfect dishes and even helped create such a lovely atmosphere. It honestly felt like he genuinely cared about making the night memorable for us. Thanks to Juan, it was an unforgettable evening, and we’ll definitely be back soon!

a really good work Christmas party. everyone was happy with the quality of food and felt looked after.

Great Cote restaurant in a picturesque location. Steak was best I've had in years.

Positively surprised by both the service and food. The côte de boeuf was delicious. I’ll be back!

Just had dinner at this Cote, it is far and above one of the best I have ever been too. JJ and his team have nailed it , kind honest customer service with great food.

Great selection of Whiskeys, food and service always above any expectations!

Delicious as always! We tried the Sunday roast this time! Calum, our waiter did a phenomenal job, exceeded all our expectations!

Fabulous meal last night Great food - especially the fish stew and hot chocolate Service exemplary from Stephen

The food was excellent as it always is. The strongest positive is the staff, friendly, professional and attentive . Obviously well trained and a credit to their profession,

Only reason this gets 2 stars is for the view and one friendly waiter. Otherwise it was slow, poor service (despite it being quiet) and some of the worst eggs royale I've ever had: stingy on the salmon, stale muffins and both hot/cold somehow. I thought that stuff was pretty bullet proof... Won't be back.

Very delicious 😋 and the service is very 👍 good

We had a fabulous welcome, lovely food and attentive service. A great all round experience

Pleasant French-style Restaurant with two Terraces, one of which overlooks a surprising small Marina ⛵⛵ in the center of London, next to the Tower of London. Although the presentation of the dishes is not very good, the Beef Cheek Bourgignon (Cheeks) and the Confit Duck (from 🦆 Duck) à l'Orange are tasty. The Crème Caramel (🍮 Flan) is very good. Correct service. Tourist clients and some English.

Very disappointed in my sirloin steak. Thin, dry and fairly tasteless. Other diners had much better looking cuts of meat. Starters were good though.

My fiance and I did a shared course with steak, chicken, and pork belly. The chicken was perfect, really, really good. Paired with a yummy mushroom sauce. The steak was a little undercooked, and I was a little disappointed when I took a bite and my steak was cold. Beautiful views. Friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit

Food was excellent, service was great. Loved the atmosphere!

I was singularly unimpressed! Small but pricey helpings (mine was luke warm), and service was pathetic. It would help if the staff could speak understandable English. I wouldn't go there again.

Great views to the dock. Had a lovely time, even though the tables outside were a bit too close to each other

Image on the left is what was served in what appears to be a worn rusty dish and on the right what is advertised - miles apart fraudulent advertising

Do not get the Steak Frites! We got it as part of the 2 course meal and it was almost inedible. The ambiance is great but unfortunately this is ruined by the staff. They are generally inattentive but this Russian looking guy seemed almost angry. Come here for fries and views. It’s on the cheaper end.

Sadly an awful experience. Had a booking for 6 weeks plus for 8pm and turned up and was not seated until 2030 service has seriously deteriorated . Food was burnt and poorly presented which we sent back . This used to be our go to restaraunt but never again people were turning up after us and being seated . Appalling customer service and food avoid avoid avoid.

Radhika and Steven were so attentive and friendly when serving us all (there was 20 of us), very organised, made the experience so much better. Food and drinks were delicious, and all the staff were so nice and polite.

Everything was perfect. Great place to celebrate 🥳 or have a romantic meal as we did dor our anniversary.

Impromptu walk-in, seated quickly and really well looked after by Naomi.

Had such a lovely meal at Cote St Katherine Docks. Warm welcome, booked online requested outside table overlooking boats, that's exactly what we got. Service was fab, Alicja was fab, friendly as well, other servers fab too. Delicious food, we both had French onion soup 😋, and both had the Cote Burger with added bacon 😋.. cheese board for dessert. Definitely would return. Thank you.

Excellent staff alicja especially. Lovely food Perfect location

Everything was perfect again in August 2024 - except: our beloved Croque Monsieur & Madame were taken off the menu 😔 PLEASE serve again! Dec. 2022: everything is fine again - something went wrong in the summer and was repaired with an apology and a voucher. We like to be here often! July 2022: actually 4-5 *, I would like to give it 2: we were there 3 times in 5 days for a late breakfast around 11 a.m. because: great location by the water and probably the best cappuccino in town, hard to beat even in Italy. The food is mostly very good, you shouldn't order an English breakfast in a French restaurant 😉 2nd visit: no more mineral water today. OK, there was good stuff! Table water (free) and I discovered the delicious Croque Madame - great French toast with ham, egg and delicious processed cheese! 🤪 3rd: no (good) orange juice today, ok, mango works too, mineral water there again, but apparently no cheese - the two Croque Madame were a disappointment in terms of taste, only a tiny blob was found under the egg where it had been on the day before Plate flowed. Very unfortunate... By the way, EVERY restaurant we visited in our 5 days in London had such a disappointment in store this time: at least one dish/drink that we ordered had just run out...🥺 Brexit, Corona, Putin - or just bad service? 🤔

From a warm and helpful reception to our party of ten and our amazing Canadian waiter Steven, the timing of everything was perfect. Compliments to the chef and team too, the salmon was delicious with my requested new potatoes and salad. Simply, thank you.

We found a very quiet space very close to the Tower of London. Although we only had a drink and a small amount of dessert, we were treated with respect. I was tired from walking that day but felt very relaxed and recovered.

Nice restaurant but the food is a little disappointing… steak was overcooked (medium became medium well, medium well became well done🥲) seafood was better.

Very nice and the view is beautiful

Excellent service: the staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was good and great value for money.

Lovely lunch in a great atmosphere. Service very good. Food great and drinks good too

The food was ok and the sight very nice. Sadly we had to wait a long time before we could order our food. We also had to wait a long time to get the bill even though our waitress had been notified that we wanted her attention. Could be a bad day for one individual in the staff but it affected us as customers.

Nice heated outdoor seating area with blankets, perfect for the British summer ☀️. I had a lovely steak and chips. I asked for a customised salad and they sorted it out for me, no additional cost for these changes. Very attentive waiter. I would definitely recommend.

Angel our waiter was very friendly and attentive. Lovely food and great setting in the Dock area...also good value for money.

It was awesome! It was high quality food and it was super affordable. We loved it.

During the 6 days in London we had the best breakfast here!

Wonderdul polite staff. The man who waited on us was pleasant, kind and attentive. The cocktails were delicious and the food was wonderful. An excellent evening. The setting by the marina was an added bonus

Food was awsome. Waitress was so nice and polite

Excellent food, service and atmosphere at very competitive prices

Good French cuisine at reasonable prices just a few minutes walk from the Tower. It's nice to sit at the small marina.

You know what to expect with a Cote but this one was better as we were sat by the water on a lovely evening. Delicious food and friendly staff as always.

A group of city trippers (80 people) received a great welcome, our choices were communicated in advance. Everything went smoothly and super friendly service. Topper

Very good food,excellent service. Good views of the dock as well.

Overall it was a good experience because we went there with a very good mood. Service was a little disappointing, having to wait to place the order, it felt like no staff members were around. A lot of tables.were left without set up and this felt messy and no ambience. Finally we ordered. Drinks arrived at the same time with starters when we expect them a bit earlier. It felt a bit understaffed or staff not really knowing what they are doing. You would definitely expect a little more from Cote in such beautiful location

I am coeliac and I normally rely on Côte as a safe place to eat - they have a gluten free menu and your food comes out clearly marked with a flag. Today however I reacted to the food that was served to me. The waitress did not appear to know what coeliac meant. She did offer me the gluten free menu, and I ordered the cheese soufflé and salmon Benedict. Within less than an hour I had a reaction (and several hours later I am still feeling the effects of it). Really disappointing and I hope all staff are trained on what coeliac means and how to avoid cross contamination.

Rashid was very lovely as was all of the team. They sing my son happy birthday and were incredibly attentive. We cannot wait to visit again. Thank you so much!

Very nice French style restaurant.

Atmosphere was terrific, love the location! The service was quick and easy to get attention from staff. Food was tasty and great quality for the price however my only complaint was that I spotted a a small hair in my food, not enough for a full complaint just a friendly reminder to the chefs to keep an eye out for little hairs in the food. Would recommended to anyone in London!

Very historic walk through St Katheine Docks. Canals, and warehouses. Ending ar the Prospect Pub along the river.

I highly recommend, good products & good welcome

Cote katharine Docks Thank you for Service ♥️♥️

Wonderful desserts. I had the creme brulée with strawberry and elderflower and it was delicious.

Cozy atmosphere, good cuisine, very competent and friendly service. Highly recommended.

Great food and view! The scallops were delicious.

The customer service during our visit was outstanding. The team went out of their way to make my husband feel extra special on his birthday. The food was fantastic but the delivery of the food was even better. Every member of staff seemed so friendly and approachable. Will definitely be returning again!

Enjoyed a great meal here. Stephen was great! A+

Nice to sit outdoors at the docks, good value fixed price menu

We visited Cote pre-theatre for dinner after booking our table for 5pm We were warmly greeted by Julia and taken to our table overlooking the marina. Ebonny was our waitress and she was friendly and helpful. Our meals were delicious and it's nice to enjoy a relaxed meal. We will be back soon.

Warm and attentive service, yummy food, comfortable chairs, scenic setting, and a delightful evening sharing a meal on a visit to London

We hadn't been to St.Katherine's Dock for quite a while and had been in the habit of going out in The City. For a change we thought we'd spend a sunny afternoon somewhere different and we are so glad we did. Approaching the entrance to the dock we were pleased to see a familiar name on an attractive venue surrounded by foliage and flowers: Cote! Stephen, the manager, greeted us with a warm smile and showed us to an ideally placed table overlooking the water. instead of just leaving us there he made sure the table was moved a little so we had plenty of room. It's not so relaxing when you are on a chair touching the chair of a diner behind you. That was very thoughtful. Even though it was quite busy, the drinks order was taken quickly. We had already looked at the menu when our drinks order arrived and our server, Angjelo, took the food order. We were pleased that the food was served fairly quickly as we were both ready to eat. The pork belly I chose and the mushroom bourguignon my wife chose were both delicious and served piping hot. After the meal, Angjelo and his colleague spent some some chatting to us and we found them very pleasant and charming. Stephen took time to speak to us for a while on the way out. It was a lovely experience overall and we're looking forward to going back soon.

Semi-empty place, 4 of us were greeted by an Italian waitress, who assured us when ordering that she would have everyone's food arrive simultaneously. Strange clarification, which unfortunately will soon make sense. After 10 minutes the starter (£10 for a couple of slices of bread and ham, see photo 1) and a Cheese Souffle arrived. We waited another 40 minutes or so, at the end of which the waitress asked us if everything had gone well and if we wanted to order anything else, without anything having arrived besides the starter and one of the dishes. We reported the problem and the two steaks arrived shortly afterwards, but we were still waiting for the last of the dishes ordered almost an hour earlier. Once we finished eating, the same waitress asked us again if everything was okay and if we wanted to order something else, completely forgetting about the last dish. At this point we decide to get up and leave, they deducted the less expensive main course from our bill, but it would have been much better if one of those present hadn't remained fasting.

Beautiful outdoor and indoor seating. Food was amazing and really good value on set menu. The staff were so attentive and lovely. Service was quick and I had a lovely evening there.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant with delicious food, beautiful views and , outstanding service. If you’re looking for something soo simple and delicious in the city, this is the place to be. Thanks Julia for amazing time

The breakfast is delicious, the staff very attentive and the price... I didn't think it was that expensive if you like to pay for good things.

Excellent meal ,great service,good value for money thoroughly recommend.

Last minute decision to have lunch there on Fathers Day, and so glad we did. Food was excellent and good value for money and the staff were friendly and polite. Lovely views over the Dock.
