The starter ( moules au cider) were ok but the sauce was very salty and there was no taste of cider. The main course of sea bream was much better although there was too much butter. The food at other Côtes is far better

Love this chain of restaurants, in each I've eaten in, always had high standards and great service and the food is always so tasty !. Unfortunately this evening there were a couple of things off the menu, one of which I'd ordered - had to change my choice, these things happen, but still enjoyed my meal. Timings are perfect for a very enjoyable evening out.

The food and service was great. The only disappointment is adding the optional 12.5% staff tip to the bill. This should be left the customers discretion! Thank you and we will return.

This was our first evening meal at this branch of Cote's having previously only had coffee and/or breakfast. We were not disappointed ! Looked after by Julia (the Supervisor who was friendly ,very efficient with great interpersonal skills), we had an excellent meal.Pate as starters followed by duck and one of the special March dishes of Monkfish which along with a good realistically priced bottle of red went down a treat. We would highly recommend Cote Brasserie in Bournemouth for a very pleasant evening.

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.

I love Cote Bournemouth - consistently great food and friendly, efficient service with a smile. Good value for money too, compared to plenty of other chains I could mention. The crab starter with sourdough is delicious, the poulet grille is always good and the banana praline crepe is to die for!

Superb meal from start to end. Greeted at the door by the manager, shown to a lovely table. Great friendly staff, very good (without being invasive) service. Food very good - French onion soup excellent, haddock special for Good Friday was superb. Frites were a few minutes late and the manager removed them from the bill without use asking, very good service. Would return without hesitation.

Service very good, explained menu options. Ordered some nibbles and 2 steaks and a chicken. Had a slice of my steak, done to order tasted nice but was Luke warm, as was the other one. Waitress had no issues taking them back, it got sorted and completely replated with a free side salad. Great food, and when the bill came they had deducted quite a bit, really good service and food.

Cote is my first choice when meeting friends or family and although I had not been to Cote Bournemouth before, this branch was everything I have come to expect from a Cote. Great choice of food, seasonal menu, well cooked and presented, good service. The monthly offers present good value and are seasonally imaginative.

First visit to the Bournemouth Cote. Excellent location but the ambience slightly lacking - seated in the bar area by the entrance. However, great food and good service. The crab mayonnaise is always a delight - my partner said the French Onion soup was good but would have liked a soup and not a huge (almost table!) spoon. Duck was perfect and the right shade of pink, but the steak was a little tough. Minted peas were cold, but were removed from the bill. Overall a great meal and will definitely return. Kir Royale delicious...!

Meals here are always a pleasure.The service is polite, friendly and discreet. The menu is excellent, with many choices, whatever your preference and time of day. Food is well proportioned, fresh, hot, and suitably priced. Also the lighting is perfect. Neither too dark, or too light. All in all, a triumph!

THE MANAGEMENT WAS AWFUL! did not try and accommodate us even thought I was pregnant. I asked if we were able to move to another table due to the booth being cramped for 6 people. The manager said Was not able to to do this cause they were fully booked, but the said table remained free until we left. I wonder if this manger would have done the same to a white Caucasian woman? Ruined our brunch.

We had a weekend in Bournemouth and decided to end it at Cote on Sunday evening. This is a really nice restaurant. Tables are NOT crammed in and its light & spacious. The staff are really attentive & the food was tasty & well presented. We had a lovely evening to end our weekend away.

We had a very efficient (if not rather aggressive!) waitress serving us this evening. Her manner made us feel like we were dining in a communist restaurant where we WOULD be grateful, whether we liked it or not. I had a Calimari - which was tasty, but the raw garlic in the homemade sauce to accompany it means that I’ll be warding off vampires for the next 20yrs... I won’t be ordering that again! My husband ordered the Crottin. Urgh, it tasted of mix of vomit and smelly, sweaty feet. He left most of it. We daren’t inform our waitress for fear of being led outside onto the pavement and thrashed in front of the other diners as punishment. We love Cote and regularly visit, but this experience left us feeling a bit cold and £60 lighter.

Lovely restaurant with friendly helpful staff. The booking was made for 6 couples, which included 3 birthday girls. We were given a complimentary drink, which was a great welcome. Our one complaint was that one of the birthday girls had goats cheese with roast vegetables - this was not eaten as it was not your usual standard, vegetables were too large and not cooked properly and the goats cheese was not enjoyable. I did mention to one of the waiters that we were not happy with that particular meal. Other 5 meals were delicious and up to your normal standard.
