The best restaurants serving French food in Anderston / City Glasgow City Glasgow and Surrounding

A new restaurant in the area since we were here last. It was a last minute booking but they managed to squeeze us in if we arrived early. The only problem for us was that the menu was full of great ‘different’ choices, and it was difficult to decide! I had the mushroom, leek, and white truffle soup, followed by the pork belly with some excellent accompaniments (I especially like the bean cassoulet), while my wife had a broccoli starter (I can’t remember all that was in it but she said it was so full of flavours) followed by the smoked haddock which she claims is the best smoked haddock she has ever tasted , and we know our fish! No licence so we took our own wine and they offered to keep the white wine in the fridge and be served as and when, or in a cooler at the table. Iced water was automatic. Presentation superb, service was impeccable, and the chef took time out to chat. If you haven’t been here, you’re missing out - it’s superb - we will be back!

Overall, disappointing. The service was lacklustre, gnocchi was tasteless and I went home hungry. Interior is lovely but its all style and no substance. This was supposed to be a graduation meal for my sister, and I felt so sorry that they got her order wrong and she was left waiting for her meal whilst we all ate ours. Mistakes happen but there was only a small whisper of an apology for this. My meal had eight pieces of gnocchi and so I was finished my meal before everyone else and was left feeling hungry as I watched everyone else finish their dinner. Although the hint of sauce was nice there was not enough of it to flavour the tasteless gnocchi. I had a dessert to try and fill me up but a small, uninspiring sponge with a dodd of ice cream didn't quite manage it. I'd have fed all this back in person if the waiter had adequately asked how my meal was, but they didn't. The maitre d could barely even lift his head out of his booking form to say goodbye to us. At £250 for a meal we definitely wasted our money.

Having never been here before and after reading great reviews about Cote, I decided to book this for my friend and I. On arrival, we were seated immediately at a table under the air conditioning. At first, we welcomed this as it was warm outside, but by the time we left, we were both very cold. For us, the staff were very attentive and friendly and the restaurant has a lovely atmosphere. On the downside, we didn’t think the portion sizes were adequate for main courses and our dauphinoise potatoes didn’t stay warm for long. Dessert was a very disappointing size wise if I’m honest but it was delicious. We had a bottle of wine and a cocktail each. Don’t make the mistake we made and add service charge on as it has already been added on.

A very cute and super warm place

Very good service and food. Nice setting and decorations. Our server Steven was very good. Nice setting near George Square.
