Côte Bournemouth

At last a good restaurant in Bournemouth, long overdue. Good food at realistic prices, freshly cooked, we would not go anywhere else, the Cote restaurants never disappoint and we have been to many all over the country.

Waiter serving us and manageress extremely on the ball. Catered wonderfully for two gluten free diners in the party. Lovely food. Great location. Many thanks.

Staff and service great as usual. A bit disappointed with the new Cote du Boeuf. It takes a while to eat and it becomes cold on the serving dish before your can finish it. Wouldn't order this again.

Our first visit to this branch. As always with Cote the service and welcome was excellent. I don't like having to say this but the food was a little disappointing. The cod was somewhat chewy and the beef could have been hotter, although it was very tender. The crepe flambe soggy in the middle, no doubt due to the fully melted ice cream and the outer was cold and crisp - probably not helped by the delay caused in three abortive attempts to set light to the alcohol. Without my asking, the restaurant deleted the charge for the crepe, as ever the efforts to please were outstanding. Perhaps the kitchen is still getting used to it's new environment. The experience in no way affects my opinion of Cote and I continue (usually) to sing it's praises.

Good ambiance and pleasant smiling service. However the food was disappointing - my pork belly was quite tough, although the glazed carrots were excellent. Wife's Cassoulet was too spicy. Deserts were terrible, apple tart and the crepe, both dry and leathery. The only upside was the free bottle of wine although this was pretty mediocre quality. May not bother with Cote again,

We had a fantastic night at this restaurant. The food was excellent, service was very speedy, waiting staff were very efficient and the prices competitive. Will certainly be back!

The restaurant is pleasant and well laid out with great service . Unfortunately I felt could have been better. It was quite basic and very simple things done badly.

Great restaurant and new addition to Bournemouth town centre, good value lunch menu at £13.50 for 3 courses. Staff excellent and very attentive, good ambiance and very busy for a Friday lunchtime. We will definitely be back.

Good location. Great GF menu Super food Attentive staff. It was my husband's birthday, which we mentioned in passing, and the chef wrote happy birthday on his dessert plate😊

Excellent mean and friendly staff. Menu is the same as elsewhere - you know what you are getting. Party of 11 with different tastes - all easily accommodated from the menu. A good addition to the Bournemouth restaurant scene.

We have been to cote many times and will continue our visits to this lovely ,friendly restaurant ,which has delicious food ,and wine ,and we are looking forward to our next visit

Nice food and decent service. Our table was tuck in a corner which made it more difficult to cathc the eye of the waiting staff. Perhaps a different table would have been better. Best creme caramel I've had though!

Really enjoyed our meal at Cote Brasserie, the food was lovely and the staff were friendly and helpful. We had no issues with our meal or the service. Would definitely return to this one in Bournemouth

We received a friendly welcome. The food was nicely cooked and presented. We didn’t have to ask for the complimentary wine which was offered when I booked. Overall it was good food, lovely service and great value.

Excellent food and service all topped off with superb bottle of free wine as reward. Great location and friendly service too - can’t praise whole experience enough.

Very good food with great service. Lovely warm atmosphere. Will definitely go again in the future. We both had the chicken and it was simply delicious and gorgeous. The puddings are to die for!

Excellent restaurant, The food is wonderful. the staff is very nice and professional. Good price. So glad there is a Côte Brasserie is Bournemouth now.

Staff very friendly and obliging from the moment you enter the restaurant. Meals up to the normal Cote restaurant high standard. This particular restaurant is a little noisy due to the decor, no good for a quiet romantic evening but I was with the wife so it was fine haha.

Cote Brasserie is in my opinion, a welcome addition to the Bournemouth restaurant range. Unfortunately my last visit was disappointing. A crab starter turned out to be more of a mousse and tasted more of cucumber than crab; at something like £8.00 plus, poor value for money. Having enjoyed cod goujons on 4 previous occasions, including twice during the initial opening phase, I selected them once again. The quality of the cod gourjons on this occasion, was very poor indeed. The supervisor changed the dish immediately, but the second offering was no better than the first. I actually cut the gourjons open to demonstrate how dried up they were and devoid of fish. The supervisor informed me that the head chef was off that night but assured me he would draw the complaint to the senior catering members. On the credit side the service was once again exemplary. The supervisor took everything off the bill, including the drinks which i was prepared to pay for. I will be returning and hopefully the standard will be back to how it started during the opening period.

Good food, friendly and attentive staff. Having taken our order, we were subsequently informed that one of our mains was no longer available, but the staff handled the conversation in a professional manner and ensured our birthday meal was not spoilt.

Great food, great staff, a really good experience. We go to Cote because they have a great Gluten Free menu and they never fail to deliver what they promise.

The restaurant is very, very noisy - decor is harsh with no sound absorption. Service was attentive and very helpful. They found us a quieter table for which we were grateful. Food was ordinary. Crab starter tasted of spring onion too much. Onion soup fair but no more than that. Steaks were ok though the meat was not as tasty as it could be. Cod Goujons were not delicious - a bit dull. Overall, service 6/6, food 3/6, ambience 1/6 - the place is nice but noise level makes conversation too much like hard work.

Delicious food & wine. Good & pleasant service. Nice atmosphere. Exactly the quality evening we were expecting - perfect to celebrate an important birthday. Thank you !

Fab food great staff great view loved it! Very well run restaurant. Extremely impressed with all aspects & will definitely be going back again soon!

Friendly staff gorgeous food. Tables not close to others so plenty of room. The only thing which would be ideal is a bar area so you can have a pre drink before sitting at your table.

Very busy but, as always, the staff coped very well. Food great.. which is why we return - the creme caramel always the icing on the cake! Really pleased that Cote opened in Bournemouth

Excellant value for money and service. The lunch menu is an ideal choice for a mid day treat before in this case going to the cinema.

It was a birthday meal, I called an hour before we got there to arrange a birthday plate to arrive after the meal (as a surprise),we waited and waited, it never came. The mains had to go back to the kitchen as they were cold and the fish was dry. Wasn't really happy with the table they gave us, no privacy. Expectations should be exceeded, especially for a special occasion and I left feeling really disappointed, more about the Birthday plate than anything else. Aside from these complaints the restaurant, staff and food was excellent.

As a couple we enjoyed a shared side dish to start then very good mains followed by tasty deserts All very good and sensible portions finishing with good coffees. A nice bottle of merlot complimented our meal with very good service throughout our visit.

Food was fantastic and the attentivenessof the staff made it a delightful experience. We are so pleased the evening experience matched our lunch experience last week.

Excellent food and service, attractive surroundings, and reasonably priced dishes! Our friend arrived half an hour late, but that didn't cause a problem at all.

Friendly service and great food made for a really good evening. The staff seemed happy and were helpful and apologetic if there was a problem.

Friendly and helpful staff. The food was delicious and we received a free bottle of wine using a voucher from the Cote Bournemouth Facebook page!

Excellent meal, lovely ambience. Enjoyable experience at a reasonable price (particularly with free bottle of wine). Would definitely recommend Cote to anyone. I normally eat in Canterbury but Bournemouth equally good.

The service was impeccable and the staff were welcoming. I would recommend this restaurant to all my friends. In addition the food was very good.

Love cote brasserie, new Bournemouth restaurant did not let us down. Great food and service. Staff were very friendly and there when you needed them.

Friendly service Good menu We had theatre tickets and they served us quickly to ensure we weren't late for them Nice location on the corner so lots of window seats

Cote Brasserie is reliably consistent , good food and wine at reasonable prices. Staff cheerful and attentive .This was our third visit. An excellent addition to Bournemouth's restaurants.

My friend and I have been to your Hampstead, Sloane Square. Turnham green terrace, Oxford and now Bournemouth. We always go to Turnham Green when we are on Chiswick. What can I say. My friend has spent a lot of time in France and we thinks the food is fantastic. Very good portions and great variety. Had a lovely day to day in Bournemouth. Excellent service and lovely staff. Will always come again. Thank you all.

Very nice food as always but felt like we were rushed a bit toward the end of the meal which let the experience down slightly

Great food (we enjoyed seabass and rib eye steak) and lovely waiting staff who were fun and friendly. I'll definitely be going back again soon.

As usual, this restaurant never fails to deliver. Service, food and atmosphere can't be faulted. Nothing is too much trouble. I always look forward to going back.

Very happy when Cote opened in Bournemouth, standard of food, surroundings and staff/service excellent. Good to see your introducing new dishes for the new season. Popped in for breakfast couple of weeks ago, fantastic value and very good quality products.

Really lovely restaurant, great food and attentive service. So nice to sit and watch the world go buy, or catch up with friends. Will be back, thank you.

This is our 6 visit since it opened in July. As pr all other visits, the food was Excellent, as was the service and ambience. What's not to like?

Good varied food menu at sensible prices. Nice ambiance and in a central location. Efficient, attentive staff. Shame no draught beer or lagers as small bottled beers were expensive.

Delicious food, great service, nice setting and reasonable prices. Every course was delicious and I would certainly return. I visited after being recommended this restaurant and I would certainly recommend to anyone else.

Many thanks, we had a great meal, everybody was so kind. It was so good we are returning again on Saturday. First time at Cote's Bournemouth but if the food is that good we will be returning many times. Graham & Christine Trickett

First time visit to Cote in Bournemouth, we have previously dined at Cote Windsor, so we were expecting it to be excellent. We were not disappointed there's a pleasant atmosphere, combined with excellently presented, delicious food, served by efficient staff, wholeheartedly recommend
