Côte Barbican

We had a delicious meal at Cote, and the service was excellent and extremely prompt, which was important as we were attending a concert afterwards. The staff were lovely - so friendly and helpful. The best I've had anywhere recently - so thank you. The only slight problem was the noise level being quite high - which was probably down to the acoustics of the premises - at times I had difficulty hearing conversation on my table. I don't think there was any piped music though - thank goodness! (Please keep it that way) Overall a very enjoyable experience.

Service was great even though it was extremely busy! Food was lovely and good value. Would have been a a higher score but ran out of one of the main items and not told until quite late on. Defo recommend if visiting the Barbican.

The meal as usual was most enjoyable and good quality. Sadly the only sparkling water was full strength Perrier which is not a very appetising accompaniment to a meal. Perhaps in future the lower bubboenperrier might be offers as an alternative?

Excellent food, very efficient and friendly service Comfortable, ambient space. Tables well spaced.

I have dined at Côte Brasserie - Barbican on several occasions. What I love about the restaurant above all else (and why I keep returning) is that despite it being busy when we dined, it wasn't noisy, I could hear myself think and could hold a good conversation with my wife without having to shout or having to strain to hear what she was saying. The good food and excellent service at this restaurant are a given.

We watched with increasing distress as more than an hour passed from our order, people in nearby tables who arrived half-an-hour after us were served their seconds and mains, and the time for our theatre tickets approached. We just had time to scoff the mains, abandon any thought of dessert, and got into our seats with a minute to spare. A refund of our small drinks bill went some way to assuage, but not an experience I want to repeat.

Not as good as usual. Too busy which meant staff rushed off their feet! This affected the level of service we have come accustomed to over the many visits we make to Cote.

Always a wonderful experience at Cote Barbican - great service and delicious food! Thank you!

My husband and I really enjoyed dinner! The food was very good and the service prompt, and helpful.

Excellent menu choice and friendly service, great for Pre theatre supper. Pleasant ambience at the Cote Barbican.

Cote is an excellent chain, delivering delicious food. The menu choices are varied and provide good value, and the quality and quantity are consistently high. I will visit again.

Tasty pre-theatre meal but scallops under cooked and restaurant very noisy.

A very nice " Pit Stop " on our way to the Barbican. The Quality of theFood, Service and Ambience were all very good. We shall be back.

We enjoyed our meal and the atmosphere today at lunchtime.

The staff was very friendly catering for all our needs, the food was delicious (including the vegan option), and the atmosphere was pleasant and relaxed.

Quick catch up dinner with an old friend before going to the Barbican. Great value meal, good wine and very good service. What more could you want? Big fan of Cote.

Brilliant meal and amazing service. Attentive but not intrusive, great location for the Barbican. We really enjoyed our meal at Cote, definitely be back.

Starter service was fast but main course and dessert service was slow. Overall time spent in restaurant 2 hours. The duck breast was very tough and bland.

Lovely food - the pork and the duck were wonderfully tender and well cooked. Efficient staff, who, in spite of being very busy, were smiley and attentive. What's not to like?

Good food and good staff to serve it. Very enjoyable

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

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

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

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.

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

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!

Lovely tuna salad nicoise and steak fries, that came with a free bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. The service was fast, the food arrived soon after ordering and tasted delicious. Highly recommended.

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.

The service was so much better today, in comparison with a previous visit in November 2018 with the same group of people - table of 6 when we waited over 1.5 hours from having our starter to eating our main course. The food was excellent and our waitress was very efficient. All in all a very good experience.

The service was excellent and the food similarlly good. The only disappointment was the closure of the bar well ahead of the meal’s arrival. 10.15pm on a Saturday night in London doesn’t cater for those who have been to performances in the Barbican.

Good welcome, efficient service, tasty food and a good variety on offer on the Gluten free menu which was appreciated. Also i felt able to trust that food was genuinely Gluten free as I am a coeliac and this is essential.

Service just too quick, almost like is everybody ready for home!!! Food good, service fine but too attentive and quick.

Great service and consistently high quality food at a very reasonable price. One minor problem with a starter was immediately sorted. All dishes were excellent. Thoroughly recommend Cote

Lovely French food. Speedy pre theatre service. Helpful waiters. All good.

The overall experience was very good. Our waitress was very attentive and really friendly. We all had an issue with the portion size being a little too small- perhaps the pre theatre menu should be advertised as a light meal and then people would choose another menu if they were hungry. We chose two courses but even three courses would have been a light meal. Next time I would choose a la carte.

Excellent food, great menu choice, good atmosphere and service. Fixed menu very good vfm

Excellent food and service as always from cote! We will definitely be back

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.

Fine with a caveat ... Main course arrived before we finished starters . Despite my request , food was kept warm under lights so it rather dried out. Unnecessary but credit to manager who arranged without fuss a refund Oh and the water glass smelt , left too long in dishwasher maybe ?

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

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.

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

Not the best experience of Côte, very loud almost overwhelming noise levels. Poor food quality and just a small effort would have put it right but instead I was left waiting and waiting for a sauce that never arrived yet you were happy to charge me for it.

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.

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.

One of our top three favourite restaurants - we go here probably once a month! All the branches we’ve tried in London - probably five of them - are excellent.
