Your website said that the Mothers Day set menu would be available alongside our othe menus. In fact the usual set menus were NOT available and there was just a la carte. This is rather unfair in my mind. The manager swore it did not say that on the website but it is there for all to see. The meal itself was OK especially the charcuterie board. The Crete caramels (4 ordered this ) were not quite as good as usual.

Never had a bad experience at Cote. Love the prawn gratinee, love all of the main courses that I've had. The lamb on the special menu was delicious. Service is always friendly and the atmosphere is very relaxed - never felt hurried or like I'm being rushed through.

Disappointed with this chain of French restaurants. I’ve eaten at Leeds and Harrogate branches but, in all honesty, would not dine here again. Mediocre food, which is not very authentic when you’ve eaten real French food in different regions of France. Can’t fault the service nor value but not for me, sorry.

This was my first time visiting Côte. Walked passed it many times and decided to try it for Mother’s Day. The food itself was lovely and came very promptly and better portion sizes than I was expecting. My only issue I have is that when I asked if I could use my trinity discount she nodded but gave us the bill without it and then avoided our table for five mines. When she came over to take the payment I explained it hadn’t been added but she said she didn’t know what it was was and would have to speak to a manger. I would have just preferred her to say from the start she wasn’t aware of what it was rather than avoid all contact with our table. Just think that staff should be aware of discounts and deals that are on offer. Overall though would definitely return.

Food and drink lovely however we were very shocked when the bill arrived and the breakfast, coffee and orange were all charged separately instead of the fixed £9.95 breakfast which we asked for. It was very embarrassing to have to ask for the bill to be reduced. This is not a good customer experience and some people are too embarrassed to say anything and end up paying more . Shame on you cote for not training your staff properly. I eat at cote a lot and would have expected better from you !!

Normally go to Liverpool Cote, so first time at Leeds one. Very good but knocked one star off as wine not chilled (had to ask for ice) and one plate was not hot which meant food cooled quickly so felt like had to eat more quicķly than would have liked. Food very good though (duck, Breton chicken and lamb rump with fennel all excellent and calamari good too). Friendly service, there when you needed them but not hassling us. Nice environment and atmosphere, but quiet for a Friday night.

The food here is always so good, and today was no exception. We were a party of four; two of us had the ‘deal’ option and two dined a la carte. All the dishes were excellent, and a bottle of Viognier wine was very good. I love Côte! It’s just a delight to eat here. We will return!

This was our first visit to Cote Brasserie and just for a quick pre-theatre bite taking advantage of the February set menu. The service was both efficient and friendly. Our dishes were very tasty, the vegetables and salad bits particularly well prepared, not overcooked. The choice of desserts was a bit limited but what we had was again very flavoursome and high quality. The house wine was unexpectedly agreeable, much better balanced than the average house wine. The coffee was excellent but also expensive for two very small macchiatos. Fortunately the unappealing background musak was not played too loudly; as we observed nobody was listening to it anyway. We are very likely to repeat the experience.

Visited Cote Leeds on a Tuesday evening and discovered a lovely evening with a quiet ambiance so could catch up with family. With a great selection of food to choose from it was tough choosing a main but would recommend the seafood options. Fresh, tasty and a decent portion! Would definitely recommend!

Why do you say the address is 14 Albion Street rather than Trinity Centre? We wasted 10minutes walking up and down Albion Street trying to find you - and we were on a very short timeline as going to the theatre. Result - we had to rush our meal. Not a good experience.

We enjoyed visiting Cotes as they not only serve good food, they are also very good a dealing with our large family group. 14 of us dined and they were really organised and gave us really good service. We all enjoyed the food.

My party of 4 made it clear when we arrived that we were going to a show and we needed to be served quickly. We ordered starters and bread because the waitress said that the fish parmentier would take “17 minutes” to prepare, which still gave us plenty of time. We had to ask for our starter crockery to be removed long after we had finished eating, and then we had a long wait to be served our main courses, by which time they arrived we had 10 minutes before we had to leave. It was not at all busy in the restaurant (18.20). The food was good despite being very hurriedly eaten, apart from the fish parmentier which was overcooked and dry. There was no time for a replacement so one of my party had to survive the evening on her starter and bread. We were not charged for her dish, which remained uneaten. Not at all up to normal standard or quality of service, and I am a regular diner at Cote in various cities. Usually good food with a high standard of service.
