We eat here regularly and have since it first opened. Highly recommended Friendly, buzzy French bistro with solid well priced food. What more can you ask for?

Well received and seated. The menu is familiar to us, and we all chose well. Wine was good value. Being a Saturday many families appeared producing a high noise level.

Excellent food, service and surroundings. A number of different menus to choose from, catering for different tastes and priced accordingly. Staff were especially welcoming and efficient and the only comment that we would make is that we had an early evening booking and by the time we left at approx 10pm the noise level had increased appreciably-another indication of the restaurant’s popularity.

Lot of problems with redeeming our wine voucher. I ordered For Goujons - they were barely lukewarm. The restaurant was very busy so I didn't complain at the time.

Service was very good and staff were attentive. Food served quickly and overall was decent. Price was relatively reasonable (considering it was Kensington). Fries do deserve a special mention as they were amazing!

Great ambience, excellent service as staff very friendly and helpful, particularly Giuseppe. Food is consistently delicious and good value for money. Cote also valued the regular customers by rewarding us occasional cocktails and for 10 year anniversy champagne which encourages us to keep going back.

Friendly service but the food was distinctly average. Prawn starter was flavourless and steaks were quite tough and not well seasoned. Not what I have come to expect from Cote.

Late Sunday lunch here. We were shown to our table by Albert who looked after us splendidly during our stay. A really cheerful chap who really made our meal special. The food was perfect and our waitress Sylvia made sure all our needs were catered for with a huge smile. All in all a very enjoyable afternoon. Thankyou

Very good as a pre-Albert Hall concert meal. Good to find an "all day" a la carte available for early evening consumption. Only criticism was the noise in the restaurant. OK if you are a group, but as two OAP's it was a bit "full on". That said, we would go again.

A very pleasant venue, tucked away in an attractive pedestrianised side street. Good welcome on arrival and good service throughout. The only fault was that the aperitif, starter and wine were all presented at the same time! The white wine was no longer cold by the time the main course arrived - but this was rectified!

5 of us dined at the Kensington branch. We have been regular visitors over the years and it never fails to please. The Prestige Menu is very good value, as is the pre-theatre lunch and dinner offer. Have been to other branches in London and they have all been very good. Love Cote!

Very good appetizers (especially the warm romaine salad), enjoyable winelist, somewhat disappointing main dishes. The steak au poivre was a bit overdone and tasted only of pepper. The swordfish special was bland. The minted peas had no sweetness and an unpleasant texture.

I and my friends love Côte Brasserie, it is always a special treat to eat in your restaurants. It is a high class restaurant where the staff are always lovely and extremely efficient, and the food is wonderful, and so reasonably priced. My Crepes with Grand Marnier today was divine! Trish

Superb ! Easy to order a table on line using one of e mail links that had come through a few weeks before entitling me to a free cocktail! It was lovely. Excellent prompt service provided by very experienced and professional staff, we were going on to the Royal Albert Hall and it’s a great place for a pre show dinner. Food and choice of drinks was extentsive and really tasty and well presented. My only slight criticism would be that perhaps some of the tables are a little too close together? Though it was a cosy table for two was just a little cramped. Otherwise fantastic in every way excellent value for money. Will definitely be back!

Delicious food and great service in a lovely, cosy setting. We booked on a loyalty (emailed to me) April offer: a free French 75 for each customer choosing from the a la carte menu - so an extra little treat that made the meal special.

Staying at a hotel around the corner, so booked before we arrived. I rang mid-afternoon to add my son to the booking, which was done very quickly. Food and service both excellent, and clearly other people thought so, as it was very busy - even more impressive that the service was so good!

As always, it was a great dining experience. We had one of the gorgeous orange Cointreau cocktails that were on offer this month, and they were absolutely delicious. The food was lovely - I come back so often that I should know the menu - but there is always something different, or something delicious I have tasted before to go back to. The wine list is really good and great value for money. I love returning to different branches of Cote, and I would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves good,imaginative food,at a price that many people can afford.
