Great location for the Barbican theatre but be sure to book as the Restaurant gets very busy. Service was up to scratch despite the large numbers of diners and our meal as usual didn't disappoint. Looking forward ro returning soon!

Great food and attention to service. My friend’s food allergy was taken very seriously indeed, which meant that he was relaxed in knowing this detail. Would definitely return to this Côte.

Ideal for those visiting the Barbican Theatre for a pre or post meal. Good value for money especially the Prix Fixe and drinks not over expensive. Always pleasant and efficient service.

Being a regular visitor here, on this occasion things were just not quite right in the restaurant. Although the service was reasonable, there were other small tables that had a very long wait and almost didn't get served their main courses in time. The food was fine, as ever, but the service was not what it ought to have been.

Rather ordinary and disappointing. My companion sent back the calamari which were lacking in taste. (The restaurant did not charge for this dish.)

Can recommend the St. Germain gin to start with and the wine list has some excellent examples. Went for the fish stew again and the chocolate crepes, which are tasty indeed. Always a good place to visit post-concert at the Barbican.

The fish stew is still one of the best dishes served, in my view, and is always a firm favourite. Plenty of mussels in this dish. White Burgundy (No.15) is a great tasting wine as well. Service was very good this evening. As ever, a good meal.

Great meal at the ideal pre-concert venue for the Barbican. All the more special for being the last opportunity to dine out before Tier 3 measures the following day.

Great food, great service as ever. Cote gets it 100% right all the time. It's just what you want to eat. Such a pity the hospitality businesses have been singled out by this useless and inept government. How can a few diners, reasonably distanced and probably living in the immediate area, quietly eating dinner, be such a problem? We look forward to your return and ours.

Delightful meal from the Premium menu, all the nicer in the knowledge this is the last restaurant meal for months. In the almost empty restaurant was surprised that another couple were seated right next to us, just the otherwise of the banquette. My French onion soup as good and the salmon with fennel perfectly cooked, crisp skin, moist flesh and the fennel still with a bit of bite. My companion's beetroot salad and chichi with grain potatoes looks good too.
