Côte Kensington

Very slow service, having allowed two hours for lunch there was no time for desert. Also the bill was incorrect. Not up to their usual standard

We really enjoyed our meal. Staff were helpful and attentive. However, it was very busy and they were stretched. The desserts seemed a little below the usual Cote standard.

Good value restauranr for quality but why don't the staff listen to the customer? Three times items were sent back as were not orderered. Oh that dreaded order ipad! Staff more interested in typing things than looking and talking to their customers.

Lovely helpful and very welcoming. Was not rushed even though part of our party was delayed. Food always excellent and wine good and reasonably priced.

Very nice food and waitress but ran out of lemon tart and two people wanted the bread pudding but they couldn't have or that too had run out.

very nice meal and the staff were super nice and helpful. Restaurant wasn't too noisy either and we could have a good conversation without shouting unlike some places!

We ate from the A la Carte menu as I particularly enjoy the roasted sea bass with fennel. The food was good and the staff charming. I had to wait a while for my olives but they finally came with many apologies and were on the house which was a nice gesture.

We waited 15 minutes at the table before we asked for menus! However, the food was delicious and we will probably go there again. It was a busy evening for the staff as they had a large party of 37.

A lovely feel to the restaurant with fantastic food and very attentive staff who take a real interest in making your visit memorable and go out of their way to make you feel welcome.

We had an amazing meal Lived in France for ten years This restaurant felt like a good restaurant in France 🇫🇷 Very authentic Food was great we had the early bird great value

A good meal and excellent service on a busy day .Our waitress accepted several changes of menu and specia wishes for children with good grace .The preorder which had been a bit difficult to organise turned out to be unnecessary

Food good when it eventually came! Very slow service. Confusing choice when given 3 menus. It would be helpful if it was printed on the menus that the daily specials and pre-theatre menus are NOT available on Sat and Sundays.

Great atmosphere, good food, staff friendly but a bit slow also got a dessert order wrong, mind you it was very busy. Early evening menu super value.

Very pleasant evening once again at Cote Kensington. Staff always attentive, food consistent and a nice bistroey feel. Great place to meet before theatre or show, after work, or catching up with friends.

We really like this Cote. It has a great, unpretentious ambience. The staff are smashing, very friendly and accommodating without being intrusive. The food is always good and is well presented.

Great, happy staff. We had pre- Theatre meal which was good selection We chose this restaurant as within easy walk to Royal Albert Hall.. We choose Cotes Brasserie for every theatre outing in London. There is always one near. Great restaurants - book early.

Delicious food, a bit of confusion over getting the set menu and when we asked for plates for the calamari, we had to ask twice. Obviously, we will still go to cote, this was just a one off.

Wonderful!!! Great food! Very nice and accommodating staff! I love this place and visit twice a month! Never disappointed. Keep up the good work!!! See ya next time!!!

Great brasserie ambience, competent, efficient and charming service, and very tasty food, which included chicken liver pate, fish & seafood stew, seabass & fennel with a nice bottle of chablis and finishing with a creme brulee. Would return in a heartbeat.

Good food as usual. Service was a little rushed with dishes being removed as soon as we had finished. Also no consistent member of staff serving so we got asked same question by different waiters

Nice place, Staffs are friendly and attentive. Hot tasty food, many choices from the menu. Good service and price is reasonable. Usually go there to eat prior to theatre show.

We thoroughly enjoyed our pre-theatre meal at Cote. Although this restaurant was very busy it had a lovely atmosphere just buzzing with happy chatter. We were well looked after by a delightful Italian waiter and the final bill was not too much of a surprise - except the green salad at £2.50 turned out to be only a few leaves! We shall return. Last week I endured a rather horrid coffee and French pastry at Cote in St Albans, but was prepared to give this chain another chance - and pleased we did so.

Good lunch but restaurant very busy and very noisy and some staff though very pleasant were inexperienced and started clearing the table before we had finished. Also table at the top of the stairs and outside disabled toilet means everyone bumps into your chair as they pass.

The restaurant was very busy but the staff were most efficient and helpful. The food was good and served promptly. I would definitely visit again when in the area.

We enjoyed our visit; our meal was excellent, but a disappointment when coffee was unavailable. We would visit again when visiting The Royal Albert Hall nearby JAK, Bucks

Good food, nice environment, warm atmosphere, pleasant service. We had Christmas dinners here both last year and this year. We also had several dinners here with friends. Cote is our most favourite restaurant in the area.

Lovely choice of food and attentive service. Excellent value for the 3 course pre theatre special. Looking to go back and try the Christmas menu.

I ate at Cote Kensington two days running and both days were extremely good. We were very early on the first day sonit was lovely and quiet. The manageress was welcoming and my langustine tails and moules were delicious. The following day I had the quick chicken with dauphine potatoes and this was equally good. One point I would make is that the tables nearer the door are much better if you have trouble hearing - the ceiling is much higher!

We had the Early Bird menu which was superb value for money, very good quality and the speed of service was second to none. We’ll be coming back

Great location for shopping at High Street Kensington and only a short walk from The Albert Hall, and they serve early bird prix fixe menus, it can be very good value for London!

Friendly and pleasant staff attitude combined with very good food at reasonable prices. Couldn’t really ask for much more! Warm and comfortable dining or a cold day

We had a lovely lunch at Cote. The meat was great and the chocolate cake was really very good. The service was a bit messy but anyway very kind

The service at Kensington is fantastic, from holding our table as we were running late . To the professional service we received from our waiter. Will definitely be back

We received fantastic service and an amazing meal, we didn't realise you had a restaurant in Leeds we will definitely be visiting soon. Highly recommend a visit

Excellent meal after a show in the Royal Albert Hall. Managed to fit in two courses and a bottle of wine late in the evening.

Sylvia served us and looked after us very well. The team all worked hard in a happy atmosphere. Set evening menu was very good value.

Staff good and food very tasty. The only downside was lukewarm veg. Chicken and fries very well cooked and the lemon tart and apple tart both really good. The wine was also excellent.

Friendly and efficient staff, good food well served. A good all round experience in a vibrant atmosphere. A slight delay to being seated resulted a complementary glass of wine.

Very pretty little restaurant tucked away down a tint=y street just off Kensington High Street. The food is up to normal Cote standards - always good and very good value. Great, great staff here. Really friendly greeting, considerate table placement and excellent service. A very enjoyable visit.Will certainly go again

Went for breakfast here and it was good, but not great. Waited for 30 mins in a quiet restaurant for eggs Benedict and when it finally came the eggs were hard. Hollandaise sauce was good though - always a silver lining. Wouldn’t rush back in a hurry.

Delicious food, very friendly staff and it was very good value for all of the food that we got! I would definitely go back again

Very good place to meet and eat. The staff are friendly and efficient. We have enjoyed our time there. Well done. Thank you very much Regards

Well priced slick service after 10pm with a full house following an Albert Hall concert - most impressive! My only criticism was that my pork belly had been reheated: it was overdone and a bit tough although the flavour was good. JEB

I've been to Cote several times and usually enjoyed it. Last night the food was fine but the service was erratic--had to call the waitstaff several times to order, to ask when we'd be getting coffee (got it several minutes after the dessert arrived) and the bill. Worst thing was the noise--there were three of us and we could hardly hear each other over the din of the music and other voices. This really spoiled our experience. I'm not sure I'll be back for dinner.

Good food and service. Well priced menu. Everyone enjoyed the meal and where we were seated was not noisy, so we could have a proper conversation. A really nice evening.

Always great service, could do with a change of menu as it has been the same for a long time however the food is good

We ordered two Cote de Bouef, which my wife and had recently in Cardiff Bay Cote , when it arrived they were both cold , we mentioned this and they changed both dishes , the replacements were excellent and there was an adjustment to the bill . We use Cote a lot and this wouldn’t put us off using them again.

Food and service both very good- especially liked the cassoulet and the crepe with grandmarnier from the specials menu. Nice location, set back from the main road, although it was still busy from 5.30 onwards.

Excellent food. Waitress was charming . She was Italian and made us feel very wrlcome. A great experience. Would reccommend it to all my friends

Whenever I come up to London I tend to book my breakfast at Cote's. I have tried various venues around London and so far have not been disappointed. I find the staff polite and curtious and nothing is too much for them. The food is good and I don't have to wait too long. My only complaint is I wish the food was served hotter,not untouchable but hot rather than warm.
