Friendly efficient staff. Good value food. A bit noisy, but that's because of the acoustics and the fact there were a lot of people there, especially taking advantage of the early evening menu.

Lovely service, as always, thank you! My soup was not quite hot enough, but was dealt with,, delicious bread when asked for, preferred it to the brioche with the chicken parfait! Overall always a pleasure to dine at Côte Kensington!

Maitre D was warm and welcoming. Good service, lovely food and a good atmosphere. Good wine selection too. We come to this restaurant whenever we visit the Royal Albert Hall as it provides a great start or end to the evening.

Cote is one of the most consistent chains with reasonable food for the money, a good value wine list and pleasant service. The choice and quality on the cheaper of the two set menus is not what it was however, no doubt because they have held their prices which may have been a mistake. The Kensington branch is not their best outlet though due to the cramped space and poor accoustics in the larger middle room.

Absolutely fabulous. Food was delicious. Service superb. Everything very good indeed. The restaurant is in a great location just off Kensington High Street. We went for the £16.50 2 course dinner option, which is really good value.

Friendly service, although as restaurant was very busy a bit slow on occasion, good food and good value for money, surroundings were noisy; did not ask so do not know if there are any quieter areas.

Enjoyed a very pleasant late breakfast on Sunday - having travelled up from the West country early. Lovely atmosphere and helpful service (very busy so one or two individuals who hadn't booked had to be turned away - but this was managed in an exemplary manner as I happened to be in a place to observe). Food, as normal for Cote, excellent value for money. First time visit here. Many thanks.

Service was excellent and very friendly. Range of items on the menu was extensive. Wine list not extensive but concentrated on quality. Our band of friends returns to Cote every six months as it offers very good value for money.

This Cote I have been too many times. It is close to Paddington, where I meet my friends from Henley for lunch. It is a spacious restaurant with good food and friendly staff.

Kensington restaurant is one of my favourite of this group. Atmosphere diners friendly and helpful staff love the layout with tables not on top of each other. Food is very good but not much of it if you eat fish; have to order sides which in turn then with their service charge can be overall quite pricey.

Always a nice place to go, service is great. We chose the set menu and it wasn't fantastic, nothing bad just nothing special compared to the usual menu. I guess you get what you pay for (the set menu is very affordable!), so we just know to go for the classic menu next.

Food was excellent as usual however the staff were all different and as they did not know us as regulars our treatment was not as warm and welcoming as it usually is hence only 5 instead of the usual 6++++

Good reliable food. First time in Cote Bistro but visited several others before and they do not disappoint. Sadly one of our party was very ill after their starter which rather spoilt our evening - and hers!

Cote Kensington is a lovely restaurant, they have an excellent choice on their a la carte menu and wine list. There is also a option to have a pre or post theatre menu. I would highly recommend for really good French food and a very professional and friendly staff.

Very good but disappointed that they add a service charge to the bill. I like to add my own and would happily have done so but I want to decide the amount - not be advised! It does say that it’s optional but I find that intimidating. Otherwise we enjoyed the meal.
