Excellent in every way. One small comment: my steak, ordered rare was actually medium well done. However, I was provided with coffee on the house which I thought was an adequate gesture. I was also told when I reported the error that I could return the steak if I wished, but since I was more than half way through my meal, I declined to do so. I shall certainly return, and I especially commend the serving staff.

Cote Brasserie in Westover Road Bournemouth is a fantastic authentic french restaurant the ambience, decor, food, and service is impeccable. The best French food outside of Paris. I visited for my sister in laws birthday we were given a glass of Pink champagne on the house. We had olives and bread appetizer, gin & tonics, we chose the Prestige Lunch set menu 3 courses for £18.95 which is excellent value. I had french onion soup with gryere croutons. My sister had course pork pate terrine & apple sauce and French bread toasted. We order seafood linguine and Salmon for main and chocolate mousse for dessert which was the best chocolate dessert we've ever tasted so rich and just heaven with a glass of port. We had a wonderful waitress and the chef came out. We were not rushed and enjoyed a leisurely afternoon enjoying the ambience. Thank you to all the staff for making it such a memorable day. We will be back very soon. Dawn Maughan

A bit rushed, some dishes were dried up- left under a heat lamp? The waiter was excellent but the 12.5% service charge is a bit outrageous. It’s discretionary but it’s automatically added to the bill. We asked to have it reduced, as it was £16 for an average meal that was over in an hour!

The United Kingdom is very fortunate to have this chain of restaurants. Their particular formula is just right and delivers delicious quality food at a reasonable price and by staff in a friendly professional way, something that is hard to find outside of London. I have visited many different branches and having a centralised menu, you are never disappionted. Each branch has a delightful atmosphere so congratulations must go to the policy makers and the well trained staff who deliver it. I have visited other well known chains where there is style over substance, but Cote always delivers quality and good value. Congratulations.

Lovely food. Great ambiance. Attentive waiter. Free bottle of wine. The only downside is the 12.5% gratuity, which is automatically added to the bill. However, will definitely come again. My new favourite restaurant....I love Cote brasserie.

This was our first visit so we qualified for a complimentary bottle of wine. Both starters were delicious and the fish parmentier main course also hit the spot. I found the swordfish sauce too salty but the actual meat excellent. The wine list needs a house wine around £ 16.00 I will return.

I think that's the best restaurant in Bournemouth! The food quality is on 5*. The prices are fab too! The staff is really friendly and helpful. After placing an order food is coming literally in 10min! Which is absolutely amazing! Ps. I couldn't believed how clean is cutlery and all glass! That's not happening in many restaurants. So as well big plus from me 😊

Very good food and service as always. I enjoyed my rather unusual starter of bacon and egg salad and my wife enjoyed her endive salad. Unfortunately the French cottage pie, which I would have chosen, was not available so I had the roast cod which was excellent. My wife had the chicken escalope which was very tasty.

Hi, we had a lovely meal. We waited a while to get a drinks order and food. My steak but was medium not rare but we had waited a long time so did not complain. After also waiting a long time for server we then had about 6 people ask if we were enjoying whilst eating. so one extreme to the order. but over all a lovely meal and good value for money.

Really poor experience. I use Cote Brassiere on a regular basis and this was an appalling experience. I booked a table for 4 for a birthday treat for my husband on a Sunday evening. Most of the food we requested was not available. Our starter was of very poor quality and when we received our main meals they were cold. We sent back the 2 fish dishes and on receiving the dishes again, my dish had no potatoes. It was a fiasco from start to finish and completely ruined the treat and sadly the manager was very abrupt and not apologetic about the poor service and poor quality of food. I would not recommend this Bournemouth Cote Brassiere restaurant

Overall a very pleasant experience , a light bright and airy dining room , well spaced out , yet enough to be convivial. Prices are mid range , service excellent , although I found the helpings a little on the small side. There is a well advertised 12.5 % non obligatory service charge , which I am not a big fan of , as the great British public generally would rather shy away from the potential uncomfortable feeling that non willingness to pay can bring ,but from my experience the waiter made sure that there was no way that I could refuse , as we were well looked after . I booked on line and mentioned that we were eating out as a birthday treat . We were greeted with 5 complimentary drinks which was a nice touch.

A beautiful restaurant in the heart of Bournemouth. We sat in the window upstairs which had a lovely view of the edge of the park. The staff were very friendly and efficient and the wine recommendation was spot on. The food was lovely and there was no pressure to hurry at all. We would definitely return.
