Excellent combination delightful refreshing cold vichyssoise soup followed by Bretton chicken and choc mouse for desert. Sublime
The staff at Cote Kensington were amazing, very friendly and efficient
Very enjoyable. Good food and service. Nice room and location.
I Love this place, the staff and food are fabulous, lovely atmosphere
Good atmosphere, friendly and efficient staff, consistently good food, good value for money
Booked a table for the 2/3 course menu meal only to be told that three dishes not available including two we had wanted based on the website. Seemed strange given we were eating at 5.45. Goodness knows how much was left by 7. Not up to our normal core experience because of this
We didn't like the way the 12.5% "discretionary" gratuity was automatically added to the bill, making it difficult and embarrassing to remove it. We paid it of course, and presumably that is what the restaurant relies on, but it left a nasty taste in the mouth. The rest was fine. We think that restaurants should pay their staff properly (and charge accordingly). Gratuities should be a very rare event for very special service, not for just doing what the wait staff are paid to do.
Great affordable everyday restaurant with great food and cosy atmosphere
As always, good food, good service and good value for money, although I note the price of the set lunch was increased again not long ago.
Delightful early evening supper. Location in peaceful Kensington Court. Monthly special (veal) strongly recommended. Excellent service.
First class location, food and service. Thoroughly recommended as an exceptional eatery in the heart of a picturesque city. Great meeting place with plenty of students and their families from the city's two universities.
Good food and service. Pleasant atmosphere. Not too noisy. Friendly staff
We really enjoyed our meal here. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. The staff were all lovely and very helpful. We hope to visit again when next in London.
As always, good food, good table and excellent service. A high standard at reasonable prices is maintained at thie restaurant. Ann Mulcare
We had a very mediocre experience here. The waiting staff were initially helpful in seating us but we had to wait a while for drinks. They did serve our daughters’ food quickly but we had to wait a little longer for ours (not a problem) however, having ordered steak frites we received the steak and our side dish before the frites! So our steak and spinach had started to go cold by the time the frites arrived...I’m not sure why they didn’t just keep all the food in the kitchen until it was all ready? Then we had a lengthy wait for the bill, which is never great when you have children who are ready to leave (I took my children outside while my husband waited to pay). The food was ok but could have easily been a higher star rating with just a little more care.
Service was absolutely charming. Food good as always, but choice of mains on early evening menu not quite as good as usual for my taste, although we thoroughly enjoyed what we did have.
As usual the food and atmosphere was very nice and we enjoyed sitting outside on a warm summer evening.
We met with friends from Italy and decided to have dinner in Cotes, it was a fabulous evening the food was excellent along with an excellent waiter who was friendly and efficient also the atmosphere was very buzzy. Will definitely be visiting again when I’m in the area.
Very nice place, was my first time here in Kensington, amazing food. I will be back.
Nice place, efficient service , nice food and amazing atmosphere. I really would like to come back
As always. Really good food and really goos service. The waiter serving us realised that my grand daughter was celebrating her 18th birthday and produced a birthday surprise desert. She was delighted. Thank you.
Excellent food and service - as always. Attention to details never fails with Cote
I booked the table at cote London for 6 people. It was an all girls work reunion and some of us hadn't seen each other for about 17 years. The restaurant was the perfect place to meet for lunch. One of the girls needed a gluton free menu which was very helpful. Food was lovely as we're the staff. Very reasonably priced. Would recommend
We visit Cotes two or three times a year as we all live outside London. The food is very well presented and tasty. We are usually there for quite a while and we never feel we are being rushed to leave.
Wonderful meal and excellent service- we will definitely be returning
Very good service and food. However, We had to sit quite close to the next table and it was too loud.
Delicious food at a pretty reasonable price. Great ambience and loved the complimentary wine offer. Service was a little spotty but overall a really good experience.
Lovely atmosphere. Very good food and a fun waiter. Excellent.

Cote at its usual high standards.The staff are lovely, food delicious....everything great.
We had a delightful evening with truly excellent food, thank you Cote
Staff too busy chatting to bother serving! Noise level so high and awful music. Need to shout to be heard.
Tasty meal, fast service and friendly staff. What's not to like?
Good atmosphere, lovely food. Nice place to go good value for money.
There’s was an olive stone in my olives, we asked to sit by the window but was told it was reversed but nobody took it while we were there. Waitress and food were good.
Excellent food, service and atmosphere. I would always highly recommend this great French restaurant for its very good menus and wine list.
As always excellent food, staff, what' s not to like?
I had an excellent 3 course meal from the June specials menu, the staff were friendly and efficient and the atmosphere in the restaurant was buzzing.
Great staff ,so polite and always very helpful. Excellent service and great food. A special thank to you all.
Always consistently excellent food and service and have visited many in different cities in the uk
Great food, great service, great place, love coming here. Highly recommended
Satisfied with good food and atmosphere. Very good value overall
Lovely meal and very good service. The Breton chicken was delicious and the creme caramel was the best I’ve ever eaten (and I’ve eaten quite a few!)
The lamb was fabulous the best I have had in a long time
Food was great, ambience was great - thank you for such a wonderful choice of Gluten Free food.
Food was very good service was good considering how busy restaurant was a couple of dishes did not turn up with main meal as soon as they realised was taken off bill would definitely give restaurant another try
The calamari was fresh and plentiful. The pork belly was cooked to perfection. The steak was cooked to a high standard. Would definitely go back and recommend.
Apart from our starters (prawn gratinee) not being up to its usual delicious standard, our visit was lovely.
I would have given our experience 5 stars but our prawn gratinee starters weren't up to their usual delicious standard. It is usually made with a delicious tomato and garlic sauce using chopped tomatoes but instead we got what appeared to be just passata and tasted more like a ketchup sauce than their usual delicious one - very disappointing. Apart from that, the rest of our meal was lovely.
