It was lovely to enjoy a meal again at Cote after five months! I’ve definitely missed going and must say the wider spaced tables and fewer guests felt every comfortable.

I’m so glad Cote has reopened. I’d not been in the Kensington branch before but it’s in a lovely quiet sidestreet and has the same wonderful decor, food and excellent staff you expect in Cote. We sat near the entrance but there are wonderful tables and nooks further inside. I had classic steak frites and the Cope Nouir dessert was outstanding. An excellent reunion.

Thank you to all the staff at Kensington Côte Brasserie. We had a delicious celebratory meal. We were welcomed with a smile and sat where we liked best. The waiters were professional, friendly and efficient. The food very very nice. We love coming to Côte and this one is great! The melon charentais and Parma ham was so sweet and juicy! I’m French and usually really fussy but this was really tasty! Bœuf bourguignon was equally yummy. Thank you for a great lunch!! (Oh, and I did feel sorry for the waiters at one point as one very grumpy lady arrived to be served but the staff remained courteous and professional at all times, chapeau!)

We were delighted to return to Cote Kensington when it re-opened after the Covid-19 lockdown. We were given a warm welcome, the service was very friendly and efficient, and the food was delicious. It was a bonus to enjoy the £10 off per person deal and I hope more people will go and enjoy Cote Kensington.

Amazing service - we were giving a complimentary glass of fizz for our anniversary and our waiter was absolutely wonderful. The only thing that let it down was the food slightly - plates were quite cold and the chips were a little soggy. I normally eat in the Chiswick Côte and it was my first time in the Kensington branch, and the food didn’t seem *quite* as good . But overall, a really nice evening

Food is ok, need to improve the service. Tidy the tables. Do not rush between drinks/food/dessert. Let the guests finish before dinner drinks before wine/food arrives. Right now it does not feel professional.

As usual the food was excellent although the service was not as good as normal. We were charged twice for the deserts and after waiting 25 minutes for the deserts and chasing up the waiter, we gather that the order was put through again hence being charged twice. This is very unusual service for Cote - especially the Kensington branch which we frequent on a regular basis. Pepe came to our rescue with his professionalism and excellent customer service and I cannot recommend Pepe highly enough. Thank you Pepe - you are one in a million and a massive asset to Cote.

I visited the Kensington branch of Cote last night and enjoyed a fantastic meal with a friend. Ana Maria and the team looked after us really well and the food was just fantastic - especially the ribeye steak which was cooked to perfection with very little fat. Thank you, we will definitely be back!

The food was good. I tried the April Special, baked haddock. Delicious. But thinking about it later, I realised I hadn't seen the promised wilted spinach. Did they forget to put it on my plate, or was it an invisible ingredient in the sauce? I'd love to know. I like the restaurant and have been there several times. I think it would be even more pleasant were they to install something on ceiling and walls that absorbs the sound.

Côte Brasserie is one of my regular favourites but I did not feel today was quite up to its usual high standard. My wife asked specifically for no oil on her soup but it arrived with the oil. My chicken was also a little overcooked and rather dry. Service was a little bit interruptive (rather than getting our attention more tactfully) and the servers laying up tables of diners who had left was very noisy – banging down glasses etc. I hope and assume this was just a one-off as the food and service are usually excellent.
