Côte Barbican

We had an excellent dinner from pre theatres menu. Very polite stuff. Food was divine. I would definitely come back to dine here again. Highly recommend.

This restaurant has very nice food, Unfortunately it is a tad loud. We couldn't hear ourselves very well. The food menue makes it up for this though.

Good service overall. Slow to start with and were a bit worried we would be be late for our play at Barbican. It all worked out and the food was very tasty

No record of our booking, fortunately we had an early booking so it wasn't a problem. Overall experience very nice. Great atmophere and very pleasnt staff

I liked the atmosphere . The food was good and well presented. The service was also good and all at a good price, particularly for London.

Very good restaurant (small chain). Staff are always very well trained and service is quick (perhaps a little too much but I understand we are in London and diners need to get to theatre/cinema etc). Excellent food as always ...

Fine, but how does the Loyalty Card system work, as no one saw that we had a card and special treat/ offer was not taken!

Something for everyone in their pre-theatre menu. Tasty food and wonderful house red wine! Definitely good value for money. Would dine here again when I'm in the area.

Good food, fair price and very pleasant service - your staff do your company great credit. A party of four and we all enjoyed our evening.

Nothing really to report out of the ordinary for this well known restaurant chain. Did not disappoint. Service was good. Food came quickly. Bill came quickly.

Food was good. A lot to choose from on the menu. One of the better chain restaurants on the High Street. Service a little overly attentive.

Excellent friendly, attentive and professional service. Good quality food cooked exactly how we ordered it. We are regulars at this Côte and are always pleased with our experience here.

The Cote Brasserie restaurant was extremely good. The food is always of a very good standard and well presented. I would highly recommend eating at any Cote Brasserie restaurant as their standards do not change. Excellent choice of food to suit most people. 10 out of 10

Great place staff excellent always happy to come back to this cote. Menu always changing too so never a chore. Booking I would recommend however

Delicious set priced dinner and polite quick service. W had good orange salad ,fish with flagelot beans and excellent creme carmel. Well designed restaurant with well placed tables allowing for privacy.

Good choice on the prix fixe lunch menu. Food was freshly cooked, well presented and tasty. We have never had a bad meal here and it's our first choice when attending Barbican events.

Excellent service, pretty good value, pleasant atmosphere. Don't expect anything more than brasserie standard of cuisine, but this is one of the best of the high-street restaurant chains

Excellent 3 course meal from pre theatre menu. Wide selection of dishes for all tastes. Will come again! Good and friendly service. Good price. Can recommend!

Good variety of starters and mains, and the usual delicious puddings on the pre-theatre menu. Attentive staff meant we were able to reach our theatre in time.

We arrived at 3.00pm to find a packed and noisy restaurant but the staff managed it well. The service was efficient. We ordered from the a la carte menu and enjoyed our duck breast dinner and the roast pork belly: good quantities and quality. This is a very convenient place to eat before or after an event at the Barbican.

Booking was essential as the the place was busy, our waitress was very attentive and accommodating, all other staff seemed nice friendly, the food was cooed to perfection.

The staff at Cote Barbican are very welcoming and attentive although never instrusive. The food is excellent and served in just the correct portions. It is light and airy and lots to do around the Barbican afterwards!

Friendly service, convenient location & very reasonable prices. Good choice of menus. Service very quick. Menu choices available to suit all tastes, especially people on special diets.

Good service and food arrived quickly which was great as we had a show to get to across the street at Barbican Centre. Will always now choose this place for any pre-Barbican visits.

Pleasant ambience, reasonably spaced tables, good pre-concert menu (apart from two items being unavailable) and attentive friendly service with no need to chase anything after initial ordering.

Satisfactory experience. Service was good. Food was ok apart from finding grits in the seafood linguine. It is essential to book as it is always super crowded

Very busy restaurant pre show at the barbican. Food was good and served fast. Staff both lovely and attentive. Separate vegetarian menu had plenty of choice.

All fine - welcome, food, service and customer care. Nice busy atmosphere in the heart of the city. Staff attentive and keen to please you.

Friendly service, excellent food, great value for money. I certainly would return. It is very convenient for the Barbican Hall. I am very happy with the experience.

Excellent as always, courteous staff. Cote is always the best choice when you are in a hurry and looking for a restaurant with efficient service.

We had lunch for 6 on my daughter's birthday yesterday. We could not fault the friendliness of the staff, the beautifully presented, delicious food and the amazing value of the set menu. We were apprehensive when our daughter chose Côte Barbican as we had travelled from Cambridge, Bow and Richmond specifically for the meal. We need not have worried. It was all excellent. We'll be back!

Always reliable place to eat with waiters efficient and pleasant. Today the Hungarian waiter was so friendly and nice. We did not feel like we were rushed although we stayed rather long in there. Set menu is a very good value for money.

Good value and excellent service. It would be even better if they can keep some lemons set aside without being cut into wedges so that customers can have 'squeezing lemons' on request. I'm pleased that they now offer side plates with the bread rolls rather than having to eat them off the napkins. The food is always very good

Very nice restaurant, and not too noisy even when busy. The pre-theatre menu is both tasty and great value. It's available every day for orders placed up to 7 pm.

We've always had good experiences of Cote in many branches but unfortunately this wasn't so here. The Poulet Breton, which we've had many times, was undercooked to the extent it looked quite dodgy. The staff dealt well but it affected the overall experience. A pity.

The food was very nice and there was enough of it so that we were pleasantly full. The service was pleasant and very efficient despite it being very crowed and a bit noisy. The prices, for the quality, were excellent.

Olives for starter - forgotten by waiter. Reminded. Before they were finished, main courses arrived. Main courses sent away. Olives still unfinished when main courses arrived a second time. Chips cold. Sent back. Replaced. Left. All a little bit rubbish.

Very nice neighbourhood place, with good service, very reasonable prices, and surprisingly good food for a chain. Perfect for after an evening at the Barbican!

Excellent and authentic French cuisine with a wide-ranging menu covering all tastes. The service was very good indeed, polite, friendly yet discreet. The wines on offer are reasonably priced and offer good value,

Having a Cote restaurant 1 minute on foot from the Barbican Centre is a great luck. It's a lucky tandem. Good food and service help to enjoy art and vice versa. I often have my dinner in Cote Barbican before a show and wish this restaurant a ling and prosperous life! Thank you

Fantastic time for my son's birthday. Staff, service and food better than excellent. Thank you so much to all the staff at the Barbican restaurant.

Felt service was brusque and moving us on. Food was fine apart from my duck which was served on a cold plate with cold sauté potatoes.

Consistently good. Pre theatre menu is excellent value. Nice ambience and very convenient for the Barbican Centre. Worth reserving a table as can get very busy before concerts.

Excellent dining experience - superb food, great atmosphere and the best staff. We chose crab mayonnaise and charcuterie board, then rib eye steak and fish parmentier. Delicious! Highly recommended!

Good food, good service & the regular staff are great, particularly Maria & Dennis! We go fortnightly usually as Barbican residents. We love it there.

We waited over a half hour for our meal without explanation until we asked. My duck showed signs of being reheated. So not very good.

Lovely helpful staff. Meal very good although I had expected a greater amount of fennel in the orange and fennel salad starter- but it was very refreshing.

Our table was ready on arrival and the venue was nice with a good layout out and the right amount of lighting. The service and food were good although it did take quite a long time to get the bill when requested.

We have been regular visitors of Cote at the Barbican for several years now and have never been disappointed. The quality of the food and the standards of service are above average and their prices remain very reasonable.

First visit to Cote Barbican. Food was great, good value for money for the fixed price lunch menu, service was good - will definitely return!
