Côte Barbican

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

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

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!

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.

We were a large party so not always easy to cater for - but we had no problems at all. The food was excellent and the staff were very friendly. Overall a very enjoyable experience!

Great Restaurant service and good selection of dishes to suit most tastes. We had both the fixed price 3 course and a la carte options all of which were very nice. This was a pre theatre lunch as we were going to the Barbican so the service timing was important - all executed very well but without feeling rushed. I will definitely use this place again particularly in combination with events at the Barbican which is a 3 minute walk to the theatre entrance

I visited this venue with a friend to celebrate their Birthday we had very good service and great food and brilliant value. Excellent wheelchair access.

Good food and friendly, a bit understaffed on the day but very welcoming. No problems at all with food, seating very comfortable. Will be back soon!

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.

Nice ambience and excellent service. Particularly like the care they take with gluten free. Food is very nice, simple brasserie fare, but none the worse for that.

Good meal - fish soup and gratinated prawns to start, swordfish with ratatouille to follow and then an apple tart and a lemon tart to finish. Washed down with a bottle of Samur. Well served and pleasant surroundings.

Lovely venue and friendly staff. Food was very tasty. Could be more attractive if set menu available til late on certain days. Ambience was great

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.

A very positive overall experience. My reservation was adapted (arrived one hour early) without fuss. My access guest was welcomed. Food was good. Barbican members enjoy an aperitif (Kir Royale) when ordering from the a la carte menu.

Both the service and the food were very good. I asked to swap a few items from the dish I chose and they had no problem accommodating this

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

Love cote and thrill is was brilliant service from a great team at the Barbican branch. Thanks for making our anniversary so lovely and enjoyable

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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!

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

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

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!

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!

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.

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,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

The staff at Côte Barbican could not be more helpful. We were welcomed and looked after so well. Nothing was too much trouble. Food is always reliable here - some of the specials were unavailable but it was 10pm by the time we arrived. Food was great

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.

Excellent blend of flavours and lovely staff. (Why do I have to make up the minimum of 25 words to send this review little bit silly forcing people to do that)

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

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.

Always good food at a reasonable price. Pleasant surroundings and good service. Best place to eat in the Barbican area. Getting busier so you now have to book!
