Côte Kensington

This was my first visit to this branch of Côte. Their food is consistently good and very good value for money, although I do not think that all branches are created equal. I very much enjoyed my visit to this particular Côte and I would come back again. They were very busy but they did not rush us and the service was very friendly. I do notice this now in this age of two-hour-sittings-to-turn-the-table-around.

Great branch of Cote. Atmospheric location in a charming side alleyway. Good atmosphere. Delightful staff with time to smile and show attention. Great food consistently high standard with ample choice. Best value you can find anywhere.

Have been coming here for years. Great management team and very efficient staff . Food quality is always consistent and reasonably priced. Good value for money.

Friendly staff, good food, consistent with other Cote branches I have been to. I booked here as I felt sure the standard would be maintained.

Great as ever - good 3 course meal for 4 and a couple of bottles of nice red for less that £100 - can't argue with that !

We are always looked after attentively and intelligently. And the food's pretty good too! A pleasurable experience to recommend to anyone in search of a varied menu in congenial surroundings.

Always delicious! I eat there once a week. The food is always hot and fresh. I love the staff, very friendly. Good value too. I highly recommend Cote Kensington.

The main courses were excellent. best creme brulee i've ever had. Service attentive but not invasive. Nice atmosphere. Look forward to going back again soon.

The food was absolutely amazing - I highly recommend the chicken and walnut salad (with a cheeky side of chips). The service first class. I will be back.

Always enjoy Cote. It was lovely as usual. Steak and pomme frites. Excellent. Also tried the boson noir. Fabulous. Very happy tummy. Can't wait to return.

Great value French-style cuisine, properly served by cheerful polite staff. Attractive restaurant just off the High Street in Kensington, and surely the best value in the area.

We were up to London to see the Gypsy Kings at the Royal Albert Hall. Parked dead opposite in the London Royal Garden Hotel (NCP) so conveniently placed. There were four of us - and we had a cracking meal - starters of fougasse and olives, mains of beef bourgignon and a very nicely prepared duck dish. Two bottles of very drinkable Merlot, an excellent waiter who was most attentive and also amusing - result, 90 minutes of convivial relaxation in a very pleasant restaurant and a service charge which we are assured goes to the staff and as a result were more than happy to pay it. If we go up again (we're from the wilds of West Berkshire!) we'll definitely be back.

excellent food good atmosphere and service. Good choice. had bread and olives to share to start and six different mains, all super. no time to have other courses as we had to rush

really nice food and wine. the service was good and fast and it was not a bank breaker either. i would go back here again.

Very extensive menu. Good food and well cooked. Helpful and friendly staff who moved us to another table away from a speaker. (One of our table is noise sensitive). The staff went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable. Thank you.

Very good service and tasty food prior to going to a show and with good choices on menu. Good location and very attentive and polite staff.

Six of us had a lovely meal one saturday lunchtime. We were warmly welcomed and never rushed. The staff were friendly and helpful. Plenty of menu choice, we chose different meals and all equally enjoyed them. Starters ranged from fish soup to pate, steak tartare or goats cheese followed by nicely cooked fish stew, steaks or duck. We had a most enjoyable time and would certainly return.

Excellent food and service as always. Booked it online using the app which worked perfectly. I visit this restaurant regularly and it is unfailingly good.

Just really fantastic. Thank you. Great food, great wine, great ambiance, great service, great price. A great night out! We will be back again soon.

Very convenient for The Royal Albert Hall. Set menu is good value with a good choice. The service was excellent. The menu does not display cost of wine by the glass so it would have been helpful if the waiter had pointed out that for three large glasses, it would have been cheaper to buy a bottle,

Delicious food and very reasonably priced if you get there before 7 pm. The High Street Kensington branch is in a pedestrian street and has tables outdoors.

I would normally give a 5 as the staff are always helpful and friendly and food is simple but good, however, this time, my fish was a little rubbery.

Another excellent lunch at this good restaurant just off Kensington High Street. The menu offered a wide choice, including seasonal items, and the wine was excellent.

A nice restaurant in a good location. Our party visited for breakfast. The food and the service were very good. We would be happy to go there again.

This restaurant is a favourite of ours in Kensington and indeed all over central London. The service is brilliant and they have an exceptionally reasonable early menu which you can get before 7pm definitely worth a go. Their breakfasts are amazing too. A must try.

Great food and lovely atmosphere, quick service and very friendly! Will visit again. And of course- amazing wine. Brings the French atmosphere very well! Nice

Disappointed with table as had booked a week before. Service quick and efficient - We had the pre theatre menu . Food good- best steak frites we had had in a Cote restaurant, creme caramel as good as ever and excellent bottle of Malbec. All in all perfect for what we wanted which was a quick meal before a concert. Very good value.

After being seated was ignored by the waiter for 30 minutes. When I commented he was surly. Food eventually arrived ok. Need to sharpen their act.

We are regular diners at this Cote. The welcome and atmosphere was as friendly and warm as usual. It was my friend's birthday and they treated us to complimentary kit royal on arrival. Another great experience, and the reason that we love this bistro.

Really enjoyed the 2 courses we chose from the set lunch menu. Very good value for money and the staff were very attentive and friendly.

Missed the Fougasse wish they still had some but the calamari was excellent and the ambience too. The house white wine is a wonderful compliment.

Lovely Resturant We enjoy have dinner every time we go there. The service is great and we made lots of friends The food is amazing and the staff always welcoming us.

Consistently high standard, good menu, well cooked and presented, excellent value and friendly service. Cote does everything well at the top of their game. Most other restaurants could learn a lot from them.

Excellent food, terrific service and a very welcoming/attractive venue. Having eaten in three different Cote establishments (York, Chester and Kensington) I am delighted to give the maximum rating available. If there was a 10 then I'd award it!

Venue is nice and the staff very attentive. My daughter and I ordered the steak and it was as tough as an old boot. Would not recommend the steak.

The staff were very welcoming and the service was very attentive. We chose from the set evening menu and the choice was extensive and the value was very good and the food was cooked to perfection. We had a very enjoyable evening and would visit again but would recommend Cote Kensington for the staff and the ambience. Thank you for making our evening.

not so good - breakfast was cold although they didn't charge for it but service was dreadful. to be fair they seemed to have several new staff on so I guess we just picked the wrong day! Not up to their normal standard

Welcoming entrance and comfortable interior, not too crowded. The food is wonderful and french in every way! Great wine list too. Loved everything about this restaurant and will always go back if I'm in the area.

Had 2 course menu good variety to choose from.Food was excellent,great service from very friendly staff and would definitely go back. Will try other Cote restaurants.

loved the restaurant, food was amazing and a great value. amazing atmosphere. waiting staff couldn't be more helpful.

Fabio looked after our table of four with charm, flexibility and kindness. A good meal for us all. But the one huge drawback is the heat in that restaurant. I am a local and have been there many, many times. But I no longer go in the summer because we just melt in those premises: it could not be a more uncomfortable experience to eat food whilst sweating. I remembered to bring a fan last night, but the other three people did not. Far, far too hot - why oh why is there no air conditioning? I believe that the windows cannot be opened because of neighbours' complaints, so air con is an unavoidable requirement. My companions enjoyed everything about the meal, but they say that they will not return to boil again. I cannot invite people there now. Please, please invest wisely in air conditioning.

Wide choice of food, well prepared and presented, not overly expensive and friendly helpful service. Only minus would be that tables are quite close together and when a group of eight men arrived at the table next to us conversation up and down their table was too loud (always a problem with larger groups); however our waiter allowed us to move to a vacant table further away and helped transfer our food and drinks.

Our second time here and it didn't disappoint! Service was impeccable and food was fabulous. We had the set menu with wine it was. Great

Very good value fixed price menu. Plenty of choice and decent portions Service good and fast and this particular Cote as opposed to Sloane Square is nice and quiet

I love this place, mouth watering range of dishes on the menu, the food never fails to match expectations, and the service is great: attentive without being intrusive!

Cote as always delivers a good experience of value with speedy service . Thank you for tonight , great staff , food on time , delivered with a smile

Food was excellent but the waiting staff did not pay attention to us in the back. We orderded wine twice and both times we had to wait 20 minutes for the wine to be brought.

Loving cote de brasserie. Always great food, service and atmosphere

We arrived a little early which didn't phase them and the staff were charming. The restaurant was extremely busy so somewhat noisy, particularly as quite a lot of young kids in there. Service and food both excellent ...

Very nice food and also very nice atmosphere. The staff was helpful and the prices decent. We had a very pleasant experience. Looking forward to going back!
