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?
Excellent value which means tasty dishes, well presented and prepared at an affordable price. Service was very good. Very pleasant waiters. Thank you.
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.
Charming and attentive staff, excellent food in a very relaxed atmosphere.
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.
Excellent food and service. Set menu is great value and ideal for a pre theatre meal. We were well looked after and will definitely be returning for a meal again soon.
Great evening, staff attentive without being intrusive. Food well above expectations, for a good value price. We had dairy & gluten intolerant people in our party, they were accommodated without fuss, very happy with the whole experience.
We had a lovely meal . The six of us had a lovely time. It was a very suitable end to a lovely day. The service was excellent. Staff were friendly. Thank you.
It was very lovely, great food, tasty, fast and fresh. Great atmosphere and good price. Booking was simple and great specials that change regularly and are inspiring
Very busy Sunday lunch time, but the staff worked very hard and we had an excellent 3 course meal within 2 hours. The complimentary drinks were most welcome.
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!
Nice offer to have free bottle of wine for signing up to newsletter. Very efficient and charming French waiter. We particularly like the Kensington Cote. Will come back for sure.
As always a totally successful eating evening out. And such pleasant treatment from your staff. Thanks Cote Kensington.
Lovely meal - my favourite duck breast with cherries cooked beautifully and the potatoes are excellent. We had a free cocktail with blood oranges - very good. Really enjoyable meal and the staff are very friendly and helpful.
Wonderful varied menu at a fair price. Wine was also very good. But what made the evening was the service and the manager who came over to talk and made the evening extra special.
Fantastic atmosphere, waiter was there when needed, but left us two it which was perfect! 2 course meal was incredible and such a good price
Have been here many times and always good. Pleasant staff in nice surroundings. Unfortunately, our main dish was very salty, but not enough that it spoiled it for us today.
Always excellent food and very good service. Pleasant staff always friendly and helpful. Ideal for pre theatre meals but needs to be booked as you wouldn't want to be dissappointed.
Very helpful and cheerful staff . Very busy . Food lovely . I’ve never had a bad meal at Cote. Ever. Thank you. Very enjoyable .
Everything was up to expectation and it was very good.
We all had a lovely time and our server Kyrah was delightful. Thank you very much th for the free blood orange cocktails, they were delicous
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!
Good food, poor service, back room smelt so strongly of fish we had to move.
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!
We were received with a lovely welcome, great atmosphere & delicious dinner! What more could you ask? Thanks we will return next time we are in London to visit the Royal Albert Hall
Cosy warm ambience, always have a buzz in the evening, excellent service, staff very friendly and courteous, the food is consistantly good and good value for money
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.
Outstanding! The food is great and the place has a lovely vibe!
Very good. Considering how full the restaurant was when we arrived, service was excellent.
A nice lively restaurant with very friendly staff and the food is always of a consistently good quality although this restaurant does not offer the set price menus on a Saturday
Love this restaurant. Excellent food, reasonably priced and although busy and buzzy, you can book a quiet table and the staff are always warm and friendly.
Exellent location just off the High Street. Good value 3 course fixed price meal and very good (friendly whilst professional) service. A very enjoyable pre-concert meal.
Very nice atmosphere and setting. Good offers with set menus and good size portions. Food was very good and the service was at a good speed, we had to go to the Royal Albert Hall after and they made sure we could leave on time.
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
Excellent food and service. Our waiter really paid attention to the fact that we didn’t have much time
A warm welcome from the staff. Lovely service in a perfect location. The early evening set menu is great value and we really enjoyed the evening
Very good service Food is great and reasonably priced. Very friendly staff. Highly recommended.
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.
Great food, I needed fast service with a show to attend and it was , amusing waiter ... 10/10 as always. Thank you 😁
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!
Excellent food, service and ambience. Can't fault it. Will definitely return
Super lunchtime at Cote Brasserie, never fails to deliver no matter which restaurant we are in. We have a group who have very varied tastes and the menu suits us perfectly. Lovely staff and delicious food. Thank you.
Great service and lovely place to spend a long Sunday enjoying lunch. Great service and lovely place to spend a long Sunday enjoying lunch. Great service and lovely place to spend a long Sunday enjoying lunch.
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.
