Côte Barbican

Excellent cuisine with some really mouthwatering specials this month. Service exemplary as always. Our waiter Eduardo from gave us outstanding service and he is to be commended on his professional approach.

Food was lovely and speedily delivered tp our table. Thank you for a memorable meal. All the meals arrived as requested -when bill was asked or it was there in one minute - excellent.

Shame about the soup but the rest was OK zz x z x g f v c f y f e b, b b h n

Really attentive friendly service and HUGE portions! A big fan of Côte and regularly go to the Parsons Green restaurant. There is a very big difference in the portion sizes between the restaurants

outstanding... as ever... we've always enjoyed our experience at the barbican cote

Lovely food, felt fresh, well-presented. Desserts a bit formulaic. They made a mistake by under-charging for our wine, which I pointed out, but they graciously waived. Nice touch! Service attentive, but not intrusive. Definitely worth another visit.

Nice friendly and very attentive staff, the food was delcious. I had the pork belly and can honestly say it was the best I've ever eaten. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting London. Fantastic place for a meal if you're attending an event at the Barbican as it's only about 100 yards from the front door.

Great end to my Birthday weekend - thank you to all the staff who joined in the singing even though the one at the back was slightly flat... thanks again

Helpful staff, wonderful food served efficiently, wine served at correct temperature, red at room temp and rose cold, good choice of desserts including cheese board and a calvados and coffee to close. Excellent ambience and good booth for four people. What's not to like. Will definitely go back time after time.

This was a great experience and i would recommend it to anyone:) the food was delicious and the service was great. I hope to come again soon

Lovely staff, great food and a decent pot of tea. Perfect for a lazy Sunday morning breakfast

Outstanding cuisine and service. The set menus are imaginatively compiled with many original dishes. The wine list is comprehensive and reasonably priced. The service from our Polish waitress, Kashia(?), was exemplary.

Went here for a quick meal before going to The Barbican and it was ideal. It was a pity that we had to dash off as we probably did not do the restaurant justice.

Chicken and chips is the best. Was a bit noisy with lunch time business diners but food was great. Recommend for a business lunch in the city.

Consistently good value and great fro an evening at the Barbican.

Service excellent. Food as always good. Probably tbe best Cote we have used.

I always have a lovely time at Cote Barbican. The food is tasty, the service is quick and you cannot beat the value provided. It's family friendly and I even had a free round of drinks for my birthday - Thank you Cote!

Top-notch food, great service and amazing atmosphere! Definitely will be going again.

Very attentive staff and the rapid plays truly were. Very impressive and had our meal completed in an hour.

Under-staffed and difficult to get the attention of waiters. Disappointing when we had allowed a full 1.5 hours from arrival to get to a concert at Barbican. This should have been a key time for them.

Really good food and excellent service...will return. My wife really enjoyed it also.

As usual, a visit to any Cote proves that it is simply the best for choice, quality food at incredible value and with consistent good service.

Overall a very good option for an early dinner. The welcome was pleasant as was the atmosphere. The food was good. The service wasn't bad but they were having some issues with the pay machines the night we were there so we waited a long time to pay which is a personal bug bear. A reliable place to eat generally speaking.

We had the most delightful waitress, smiling, terribly efficient and very attentive. The main course (steak frites and bream) and chocolate pot were excellent but the sardine starter was pathetic, so small amount of sardine one could hardly see it.

Good meal and service. Consistently good over many years. Dependable, enjoyable and reliable

Staff were fantastic as always, but the chef was obviously having a bad night. My main course was so full of garlic that I had to send it back. They kindly took the cost off the bill, but I am still tasting it this morning!

Very pleasant evening on Shrove Tuesday , nice aperitifs , good . food ( we had Duck and Monfish main courses ) and excellent pancakes !

Brilliant food and service. A really good lunch. Thank you Cote.

Perfect location Wonderful decor Come here often as its good bang for buck in a nice restaurant Set menus are delicious and also very good value for money Perfect location Wonderful decor Come here often as its good bang for buck in a nice restaurant Set menus are delicious and also very good value for money

Great food, excellent service. Tuna nicoise salad in particular was extremely good. Wine list is extensive and well priced. The perfect place to eat before a Barbican event!

The serving staff are great! It makes all the difference.

Usual reliable and enjoyable Cote food, and great staff as they seem to have in all their branches. One star deducted on this occasion as the restaurant was uncomfortably hot. I suspect they were caught out by the sudden improvement in the weather.

We were a large party of 35, and were welcomed with the same personal attention that we have experienced when we have previously visited as a couple or small family group. Food was excellent and the atmosphere was relaxed, and at the same time we felt a lovely sense of occasion. Thank you!

Great menu choices, tasty food and attentive waiter, (from Brasil) No waiting times at 5.30. Excellent for pre- theatre and close to Barbican. Would visit again! Thanks

Good choice of food. Friendly staff. Prompt service. I would prefer the Service charge to be optional. If it is to be added to bill then increase foid ny 10%...Service shpuld be the choice of customer for staff going over and above.

Good food, good service and enjoyed the wine. What more an I say!

The food was very good. My partner was particularly impressed with the number of vegetarian options something sadly lacking in most restaurants. The staff were lovely and there was a lively atmosphere. All at a reasonable price.

The meal was a lunch before a concert with the family, and it was lovely - the food, the service, the glass of wine - all just what was needed and a lovely part of the afternoon. The venue is not over crowded, the staff are always attentive and charming. The food at Cote is consistent and this was as always very good, and good value. Thank you for your contribution to a lovely family time.

The food was great as always. However, the restaurant was very busy and it seemed like there were not enough staff working for the pre-theatre rush. The waitress was very sweet but she was running around trying to serve everyone. We had to call staff several times. My friend got there 25 mins before me and she was not even offered a drink until I got there and we called the waitress. You know that you are going to busy for pre-theatre so you really should know to have enough staff working. Also, I had booked for 2 but there were 3 of us in the end and we were squeezed around a table for 2, yet the table next to us didn’t have anyone sitting there before we left (someone did sit there but she moved to another table).

Lovely evening at the Barbican London Cote Restaurant, with good friendly service and excellent menu choices. Would happily visit again. I would recommend the chicken liver parfait.

Reasonable food and choice in the set menu and prompt service. The Sardines starter was very disappointing. Minuscule portion and not very appetizing either!

Very pleasant meal and we weren't hurried despite the restaurant being very busy. Noise level was a little high when the place was full but nothing excessive.

It was all good apart from the fact that you claimed you didnt have my booking. Please sort out your systems as we booked weeks in advance

Fine from start to finish. Usual high standard. Enough said?

Ore-theatre menu was excellent value for money. Very good customer experience. Lovely ambience. Pleasant and friendly greeters and waiters. Spacious environment, all on the same level, including the loos (no cheeky steps in the restaurant area or flights of stairs down to the basement!).

This branch of Cote never disappoints, always great food, great service and good value for money in a great location, book an early dinner as it does tend to get busy and a noisey with the Barbican pre theatre crowd.

An excellent meal. The food was of a high standard and certainly generous helpings. The service was good, being both helpful and speedy. And all at a reasonable price. We will be back.

Food was good and prices reasonable. The waiting staff were nice and friendly and almost got things right, but not quite...for example they cleared the cutlery from starters, brought the mains but forgot to bring new cutlery ( we went and got it ourselves from nearby shelf), bread came without butter, one of us had no water glass... I think the problem is one of training, and actually looking to see what is going on at the table.. Generally speaking we do like Cote...

Unusually it was a very disappointing meal, indeed I’m surprised it was allowed to leave the kitchen! The starter of Moules was emaciated, I’ve never been presented with such miserable specimens. The main of Sea Bream was a single small fillet that had been overcooked to the point of being dry underneath, as was the fennel accompaniment. All very disappointing.

Another good value meal at Cote Barbican. Great service from the staff. Good range of dishes on the set menus. Busy though and got quite noisy.
