Côte Barbican

Good. Food is good," clean" not too fussy, but simple fresh ingredients, , and the red wine was very good. Not too noisy as well. The dark chocolate pot is specially good.

Excellent meal and service as always. This chain is great value for really good food and atmosphere. I try to go to their​ locations at least once a week.

A reliable favourite whenever we're at the Barbican, Cote delivered again for us. I had the Nicoise with a fresh tuna steak, which was delicious. The service is always pleasant, although sometimes a little slow.

The service was good but the food was terrible. I had two courses on the Pre-Theatre menu. The starter was a Pissaladiere which was a pitta-bread like base covered with onions and camembert cheese which was unpleasantly bitter. My main course was a Jerusalem artichoke risotto which was a stodgy, over-salted mess, half of which I left on the plate. Very disappointing.

We got great service and the food was wonderful. Staff were professional and courteous. Steak was excellent and the chocolate pot just perfect. Great coffee too.

Good food and service, my only drawback was the tables seem very close together

Great location for a nice lunch with a touch of French flair. The Set menu is always a great choice and good value for money.

Excellent food and good service. Everything was fresh and well prepared to our specifications. Portions were generous and waiters were attentive. We will be back again

It delivers what it promises for the price. Pre - theatre especially good value . Service efficient and friendly. Wine list is not too extensive and offers good value across the range.

Excellent location for Barbican theatre, concert hall and within the cinema complex. Unlike some other restaurants in this chain, it is very spacious, with lots of room between tables. Food was excellent and the service exemplary.

Very good service, Nice staff. Always a good menu. Great pre theatre place for the Barbican.......... ... ... ... ... ... .. .. . ...

Dear hosts. As always, food and service were very good. Happy I came here again. Looking forward to visiting you again soon. All the best, Ildar

We were celebrating a birthday, the staff were really attentive, and even offered a cocktail to the birthday girl on arrival. Amazing customer service, will definitely be our go-to lunch spot!

We enjoyed our lovely meal at the Cote during our visit to one of the Barbican events. The service was very good and all staff very polite. The food came promptly and was piping hot. We found the food excellent and great value for money. We would go again.

As usual, great food reasonably priced and great service. What else do I need to say to get twenty five words in here, thank you.

Very good food and excellent service. My wife and myself had the sea bass with fennel, well seasoned and generous portion. We followed with lemon tart and praline crepe and finished with two cappuccinos

Lovely food. Good service . Only issue was fire alarm went off while we were eating and carried on for about 5/7 mins. Staff told everyone not to worry and stay seated . Was very loud and off putting . Not the staffs fault.

We were seated by the window which is great for people watching. The service was quick, food was really tasty, what more could you want.

Cote Brasserie is always excellent value for money and tasty food

Brilliant lunch; 3 courses of delicious food for £15.00 per head. Service was attentive and friendly. The ocation is ideal for work and pleasure,The Barbican or the stockbroker.

Excellent service. Food v good value but egg benedict a bit cold. Really recommend the light and fruity house red - we were tempted to a second bottle.

Very convenient to dine before a concert or play at the Barbican Theatre. Service is good and prompt so you can have a relaxed meal to start your evening off to a good note.Set menu is good value and offers a reasonable choice.Would be even better if they changed the dessert choice monthly.I dined there in January and February and the dessert choice was unchanged.

Attentive waiting on our table, the £15 set menu before 7pm is a fantastic deal. We also had a bottle of white wine which was of high quality. Really nice meal

very good value for money set lunch. One of the options (moules and frites) was not available which was a shame but the creme caramel desert was amazing!

Pre-concert menu was excellent value. Cote is pleasantly quieter than other local alternatives even at busy times. Will definitely book again - it one of few restaurants near Barbican open on Sunday.

We were made welcome at a very busy pre theatre time. One main course was only tepid and we could not wait for that to be put right so our friend had the whole price of her 3 course meal taken off the bill. We were all impressed. Thank you.

Service was excellent and made to feel welcome. Would definitely use again Food was nice just right amount for pre event meal. However there was no allergen information on the menu.

I usually book Cote Barbican for a pre-concert lunch or dinner. The ambience is better than in any of the places interior to the Barbican, quite apart from better value. Excellent service on today's visit - prompt but not overly hurried. Perhaps tables were squashed quite close together causing some tricky moves by the waiters.

We visited the restaurant prior to a concert at the Barbican. We chose the pre theatre menu. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal of smoked salmon on sour dough bread with a caper and creme fraiche dressing followed by venison pie with braised cabbage. For desert we had creme caramel and a chocolate pot. The food was well cooked and arrived promptly. The staff were friendly and helpful. We intend to visit the restaurant again on our next visit to the Barbican.

Arrived a bit late, but that didn't matter. First course arrived very quickly, and the others within reasonable timescales. Food of the usual high standard. My only quibble was that, as I had now accumulated over 1,000 points, and asked for £10 off the bill, no one at the restaurant knew what I was talking about! No one knew anything about the cash back arrangement, thought the matter was referred to several people. I said I'd bring a copy of an e-mail next time!

Regular Cote diner, but first time at the Barbican branch. Very busy restaurant before the performances at the Barbican Theatre, and they found it difficult to cope. Waited over 30 minutes for starter to arrive, Eggs Benedict was ice cold. The main courses and deserts came quicker and were hot. The staff were efficient and pleasant, so will return again

Food was very good, service was attentive and friendly. One mistake with our side order was rectified without fuss and not added to our bill

As always Cote provides good food , well cooked and well served . The Barbican Cote is ideally situated for events at The Barbican Centre . We really enjoyed our delicious meal and will certainly visit again

Very convenient location for the Barbican Centre and the staff coped very well with the high demand between matinee and evening performances. Usual high quality food at reasonable prices.

Cote is always a safe bet, as the food and service are good, and the set menus are incredibly good value. Ideal for Barbican pre-concert meal.

Nice meal, very nice starters and main. Price is fair. Atmosphere was good. Drinks as expected. Only gripe was the delay in receiving the bill towards the end.

Lovely ambiance and attentive, friendly service. Food is as expected at a Cote. Tasty and simple. My only criticism would be my coq au vin was a bit greasy. The rest of our group enjoyed their meals (fish, beef and childs meal).

Great friendly service and delicious food at a reasonable price . This is my go to venue for a meal in the city, either pre theatre or just a catch up with friends. Great too for a business lunch.

Excellent location and good value pre-theatre menu Service was good and there is a well priced and varied wine list. Can be noisy when full

Relaxed atmosphere. Friendly staff. Wide selection of dishes, specials and fixed price menus. Fast service. A good place to go for lunch in the city - especially if you are not putting it on expenses!

Busy, with a lively atmosphere. Service, despite the waiting staff being very busy, was excellent. As always, the food was tasty, and well presented. Always our first choice of restaurant in the area.

I normally like Côte - despite it being a chain; yesterday they seem to have had a night off though. Service very slow, wrong dishes, some of them stone cold & to top it all: errors in the bill. I hope this is not the onset of demise one has seen quite often in other successful similar places..

Staff were quite rushed and unhelpful. Steak wasn't great considering how much it cost. Overall it was fine but would really have expected a better experience

An excellent meal. The special monkfish dish was delicious and represented outstanding value. Our Albanian waiter Erjohn could not be faulted. He was friendly, helpful and efficient.

Always the best choice when going to an event at the Barbican. Not the cheapest but it is good value, great service and the food is reliably delicious.

Always great service and food here. It’s a perfect location for a pre concert trip to the Barbican too. Friendly staff and I would recommend.

Generally good service. Had to return steak as not as ordered, but quickly rectified. Here are some more words to reach the minimum of 25 words.

Had an enjoyable lunch with my wife and daughter. Service was excellent and could not be faulted. We all enjoyed our meal and would definitely return.

we enjoyed our lunch,as always,but the restaurant was busy and therefore,noisy. The service was good.We are frequent visitors to Cote restaurants .Good traditional food and good value.

Very attentive and efficient for a large group. The food was very tasty, always is, this is the second time I have chosen Cote for a team lunch.
