Côte Barbican

Nice ambience, friendly staff, good service. Some of the items on the menu weren't available and the main course salad had too many lettuce leaves rather than the other ingredients, but it was tasty. Overall a positive experience and would come back.

Easy to reserve a table at time required. Reception was good, staff gave good service were friendly and helpful, and menu excellent. A very good restaurant will definitely go again.

Continue to provide good meals with excellent service at sensible prices, The menu is broad and is varied enough to make it interesting going back time and again.

It was quite noisy and our table was sort of stuck in between with lots of people walking past, which made it a bit less enjoyable. Food and service was very good

Friendly staff and enjoyable food and good value. If I was being critical I did feel we were very close to the tables either side.

We were very satisfied with both the service, the food and wine. The swordfish was particularly delicious and we we arrived at the Barbican in good time for the concert by our dear friend Sam Haywood

We've eaten at this branch of Cote many times. The food is usually good and service efficient and friendly. Today I had an offer which meant I got a complimentary bottle of wine. When the bill came they had charged me for the wine and for a starter I'd ordered but they didn't have. This is the second time we've had to ask them to take things off the bill, so make sure you check your bill carefully. However the restaurant is very conveniently situated and we will definitely eat there again.

Went there for lunch as a party of four. The food was very good, particularly the fillet steak. Staff were friendly and efficient, all in all a great place.

The only fault was cold cappuccino .. otherwise standard as good as other Cote restaurants And various equatable London establishments .staff were friendly and pleasant

Excellent experience at Cote Barbican last Sunday (Mother's Day). We had a family brunch, which was delicious - with excellent, friendly service, so we were well set up for the concert at the Barbican afterwards.

There needs to be far more vegetarian options ad they need to be clearly marked. It's quite awkward having to check everything that looks like it should vegetarian with the waiter to check that there are no hidden non-vegetarian cheeses etc.

Friendly attentive staff with well paced service Good menu choices including a good value pretheatre menu Well designed dining room particularly well placed for the venues of the Barbican

We had the pre-theatre menu, which was good food, with a reasonable selection of dishes, and good value. The only thing that stops full marks is that the waiter was a bit grumpy.

Cote was absolutely packed. It was 630 pm Friday before a concert at the Barbican and I'd booked (which was just as well). Despite the number of diners,, the staff could not have coped better. They were all attentive, charming and really helpful. The pre-theatre menu changes regularly and always has plenty of choice, keeping the vegetarians happy. They really seem to have a winning formula which I hope they never change! Keep it up Cote.

As usual this restaurant was very good in all respects. I didn't give it the maximum marks for the single reason that my favourite starter was unavailable today. The house Rose wine is the best you can get.

A different menu from our last visit - some interesting new dishes. We both went for the bacon lardons & frisee salad (good) and I had the sea bream (delicious, not too sure about the beans with it) and he had chicken, which came with a delicious tomato sauce. Our waiter was excellent, always there to help, never intrusive.

A lovely meal of seared scallops, roast sea bass and a chocolate fondant washed down with the recommended Macon Village. My only reservation is that I thought the service a a little casual - I prefer that our order is written down and not left to memory which then needs to be checked but overall a very enjoyable experience.

We use your restaurant whenever we attend the Barbican, for several very good reasons. We can depend on your good service, good food and good value. The meals are always a pleasure.

My wife, myself and our two sons attended on Mothering Sunday, at lunchtime. Although it was busy the service was friendly, professional and attentive. Clearly the organisation of Barbican Côte Brasserie is excellent. The food was delicious and they even had their amazing set menu as well as a children menu. Difficult fish dishes are served perfectly and simple french cuisine has added panache. I can recommended the Barbican Côte Brasserie for family dining and also for couples and even friends meeting.

It's convenient if you're attending a Barbican cinema screening. The food is reasonable, the service OK. Eaten here a few times. No-one ever seems to be at an obvious greeting point, so you stand around aimlessly hoping for attention. I once walked out because I was consciously ignored for 2-3 minutes on one particularly irritating occasion last year by two members of the waiting staff who seemed to be having a childish competition with each other (Autumn 2016) and instead ate at the cafe which is next door.

All very smooth; welcome greeting from Manager (lady) and good service from waiter (guy from Paris) A1 food (thanks to chef and team). We will return

Great - thank you. Good food and excellent customer service. Great place to take the family. Relaxed atmosphere and good location, nice comfortable environment with plenty of light and space.

Great service and lovely food! I would definitely go again and it is always a great spot for lunch as you can get in and out in under an hour.

Excellent value pretheatre menu. Service not as good as at St Martins Lane where it's possible to get 3 courses even when arriving just after 6 with tickets for 7.30

Arrived early for pre-theatre dinner. Very efficient, friendly service. Lots of choice on both the regular and lunch/pre-theatre menus, the pre-theatre menu being exceptional value for a London restaurant! It was fairly quiet when we arrived at 5.30pm but within 30 minutes it was almost full, which made for a great atmosphere. Highly recommend and will definitely return if visiting this area again.

The menu choices and food were excellent and the staff were charming but the service was a little slow and we only just made the start of our concert.

We had booked a table fr 6.15 to allow us time for a meal before the filmed opera started at 7.20. Because of terrible traffic we didn't arrive at the restaurant until 6.35. Our table was still reserved and waiting for us. We explained our time constraints to our waiter who was extremely helpful, took our order as soon as we were ready and the food - two courses, came up quickly and efficiently. We had time to enjoy a two course meal, with a bottle of house wine, pay and be out by 7.25. We arrived in the Barbican Cinema 5 minutes before the film began. Perfect timing and a very happy start to our evening's enjoyment. Also very reasonable cost - under £20 per head including service.

Very good meal in a pleasant setting. Friendly and attentive staff. Reasonable choice of food, well presented and good to taste. Will certainly come again

We enjoyed the usual good value pre-concert meal at the Barbican Cote. There was a bit of a delay between ordering and our first course arriving but after that our waitress and the manager made sure our meal was complete in time for our concert. Without asking, the manager also gave a nice reduction on our bill to compensate us for the delay in being served - much appreciated.

We made a reservation at 5:45. We enjoyed nice food and atmosphere. The service was good. It is an ideal place for light dinner before the concert at Barbican.

We wanted a quick meals a reasonable price before going to a play at the Barbican . 3 courses for 4 people came out within 1.5 hrs ... excellent food quality and very well presented ... service so efficient and always with politeness and a smile . Will return

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 ...

Very Pleasant staff and very tasty food, quite good value for money. I would recommend this restaurant especially for a pre theatre meal. Very close to the barbican centre.

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.

It was excellent, as always. The food was good, as was the service, and the staff were efficient and friendly. I will be going back again soon.

Online booking worked perfectly. Our first visit, we were impressed with the excellent service although it was early evening so can't say what it would be on a busy evening. The food was tasty with a good choice. We will certainly eat at Cote again.

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.

This restaurant is in a convenient place and has great value as well as variety pre theatre menus served with a smile! Will go back.

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.

Late booking for 3 people after theatre. We turned up with 6 as we had met some friends. Despite restaurant being busy, manager worked cheerfully to find us space - improvised by putting 2 tables together! Much appreciated.

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.

Oddly wouldn't allow us to order just a main course from the set menu, even if we paid more. Waiter seemed highly confused by the whole ordeal. Had to order a different main - food was good though.

Food was tasty and service was very speedy polite and attentive. Overall a good experience at this busy restaurant. I particularly enjoyed the creme caramel

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.

Excellent service, very pleasant staff, good food as ever. Like the March menu. Brilliant location for cinema etc. Love cote Thanks and will recommend to friends

Thinking it was a chain restaurant, we were not expecting much of our pre-theatre menu - which turned out to be very tasty & well served by friendly staff. The red wine by the glass was absolutely delicious (and we drink old Bordeaux's bought on auction at home). So we returned after the play to have dessert - and I, who do NOT eat dessert normally, found the creme brulet AMAZING! Bravo To chef, manager, servers, all.
