Côte Bournemouth

I had a great time here. Not only did they hold my table for me despite my party being 45 minutes late, but they even gave me the full bottle of champagne too. Thank you so much. My friends and I had a great time.

Really good - food, service, decor and ambience all excellent. Tuna cooked to perfection and the fish soup was to die for! This was my first visit - it certainly won't be my last.

Pleasant staff, good food, nice layout and ambience. Very good value for money and in an excellent location. A little more buzz upstairs than down, which is great as it gives you the choice. What not to like!

The usual excellent service you expect to receive at Cote from the minute you arrive until the moment you leave. I shall return very soon.

lovely food! very good service - good be a bit more 'smiley'. nice venue. Food was excellent - especially the fish courses. We were all very happy

The food was good, and the service prompt and attentive. Slightly put off by seeing a rat run along the balcony as we were eating. Thankfully the doors were shut!

Will always choose a Cote restaurant especially in a town we are not familiar with because we know we will always receive the same excellent service and food.

First time in Cote Brasserie. The restaurant has a great old Parisian style decor, with an excellent menu. The food did not disappoint, and great service. We will be back. A great addition to Bournemouth .

Had very good food. Fish soup was excellent. The veal was also very good. Staff were very friendly, pleasant and helpful. The service was very good overall.

The atmosphere and ambience is very good, particularly upstairs; service was excellent and courteous; good menu and excellent and tasty food, both starters and mains.

Some bread not available. Service good, only had a main course which was fine, wine bottle had cork so not easy to transport remnants of a bottle home. Noisy because busy and wooden floor, and breezy near entrance

Enjoyed new Bournemouth Cote, great ambience and friendly service. Very convenient for conference centre and hotels. Menu and wine list gave good choice and my calamares and chicken were excellent.

Very good service, nice table upstairs, great choice on the menu, wine list excellent, and the most fantastic Pavlova!" The Moules were a good 'sharing' plate, I had the Duck breast, and my friend had the Pork belly, both dishes were excellent, followed by the Pavlova. We had a couple of bottles of an excellent white wine. Thoroughly recommend Cote Brasserie. P.S. This was our first visit.

Good choice on fixed price menu. Delightful staff. Very helpful if anything was wrong or not up to standard. Wil certainly go back again soon.

The positives: Friendly staff Food very tasty and piping hot, which I really like. Negatives: Waitress too quick to ask about drinks and reel off the menus to us before i'd even taken my jacket off, ensured my handbag was in a safe spot and just generally settled down. Restaurant wasn't hectic busy. Felt rushed for no apparent reason. The biggest negative: portion size was too small for me. From the a la carte menu, the prawn starter in a spicy sauce only had 4 prawns and really needed a bread roll to soak up the lovely sauce. The main course, fish casserole, was what I would call a lunch-sized portion and not a replacement for the dinner I'd have had at home had I not decided to eat out. No vegetables included. One felt every morsel was measured to within an inch of its life and this really would put me off ever going again because i can't really find any good reason to and don't like leaving a restaurant feeling hungry. I'm a slight female - so can't imaging what a hungry, strapping man would have made of it.

Excellent service and good food. A great addition to local amenities, a New York visitor was also most impressed with the menu and service. Thank you for making our day.

Nice smart surroundings and good food. Service friendly in a central location. Good choice of food and wines. well done Cote for providing a constant level of your product.

Service was very good, quick and efficient, we weren't having to wait long between courses. Food was delicious too! The menu options were nicely varied.

Excellent new place to eat in Bournemouth. Great menu good quality food andexcellent staff Will be making many more visits in the coming months and years

We had fantastic food and exceptional service. Will go again. Really great value for money . Early supper had not realised they had an early supper deal, champagne by the glass at s very reasonable price

Lovely atmosphere and relaxed environment. Kitchen staff held up with our food on a tray waiting for a waitress though. Stood right by our table. Happened with both starter and main meaning food got a little cold

Great food and service. We sat downstairs which had young families and were a bit noisy, will try upstairs next time. The duck was very good.

We had the plaice which was delicious but would have liked vegetables with it, but the service was excellent and the ambiance very good. We will definitely come again.

Nothing is ever too much trouble here. The food is to die for, the service is unquestionable and the setting has a great ambience. Love this restaurant.

Efficient, very pleasant staff, tasty food, clean, situated in a convenient position for where we stayed there is nothing that we didn't like. Thank you

Great Gluten Free menu with lots of choice. Great service, reasonably priced. Very happy. Service charge is automatically added, but our server specifically asked if we were happy to pay it, which was nice.

Having been the night before I knew what to expect. The food was equally as good as before and the staff, although different this time, were just as friendly. Strongly recommended

On holiday in Bournemouth and was delighted to find Cote Brasserie as standards are usually high. Extremely helpful staff, Food excellent. So good I went again the next day

We had a lovely time in a calm and pleasant environment upstairs overlooking the Winter Gardens. The food was up to its usual high standard and the service was excellent.

Breakfast was excellent but it always feels that behind the scenes is barely controlled chaos. The restaurant wasn't so busy but the staff appear stressed. I know the place is quite new and everyone is trying to make a good impression but (breathe) and turn the intensity down a couple of notches

Good food and ambience, only down side is it that it all came out so quickly that it felt a bit rushed. As it was a birthday celebration it would have been nice to enjoy a gap between each course so as to make the most of the evening.

Food was excellent apart from the sweets. We had chosen apple and citron tarts, filling was fine but pastry was soft and doughy. On commenting on this we were told they are made in London and sent down every day ,no wonder they tasted funny. Staff were efficient and pleasant and the restaurant is of a standard that Bournemouth is sadly lacking.

With a warm welcome and attentive, but not intrusive, service this was a restaurant visit delivering good quality in it's excellent choice of food and wine. Cote's branch in Bournemouth is the most comfortable and spacious of all the group's restaurants that we have visited and this made for a relaxed and enjoyable evening out. This is certainly a place to which we intend to return.

The food was good but the training of the staff leaves a lot to be desired. There seemed to be a general air of confusion which led to one tray of dishes being turned away which were obviously destined for another table and then the wrong chicken dish being served. The waitresses served food across and in front of customers rather than walking around the table and serving from behind. That really is not acceptable. Although nothing to do with training one waitress obviously had under arm perspiration problems. It is not a good sight on a light blue blouse. We like Cote Brasserie and the Salisbury restaurant is excellent. I know Bournemouth is relatively newly opened but it does need to improve. The premises are attractive so we will return hoping for a better experience.

Was not that impressed with the Food on the set menu. No potatoes with my fish and very simplistic pudding menu. Service was okay but I have had better meals for less money. Sting in tail is the 12.5% service charge.

It's good quality brasserie fare at a reasonable price. The staff were friendly and charming and the atmosphere is welcoming. It's become popular very quickly.

The Russian waitress was so sweet! Very professional and kind! The food was very good although a bit expensive. Overall nice stuff and really enjoyed it

A delicious breakfast, great service and will definitely be going again. One of the best breakfasts out..... I had the French formule cooked breakfast. Really pleasant staff too.

Great service, great food. We sat downstairs and the restaurant had been decorated to a really high standard. Lovely staff, very professional and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Third visit to Cote Brasserie. Booked on line no issues on a very busy evening first day of the Air Show. Very fast service had the £27 set 3 course anniversary menu including glass of champagne. Crab starter with avocado delicious and very subtle. Sea Bass main with a fantastic sauce and roasted fennel. Then the best Creme Caramel I have ever tasted. Will be going again, think we are very lucky to have this restaurant in Bournemouth.

Great food and great service. Every Cote we have been to has always lived up to these standards. Nothing more to add really. Well done

As always super food and great value menu. Cote Bournemouth is a lovely restaurant in an ideal position, on it's own away from the rest

Always excellent service and quality. Particularly good for handling gluten-free. Always excellent service and quality. Particularly good for handling gluten-free. Always excellent service and quality. Particularly good for handling gluten-free.

Excellent service this morning at Cote Bournemouth. Friendly, helpful staff and EXCELLENT freshly baked croissant with a great selection of jams. Coffee with warm frothy soya milk was super too. Highly recommend.

The ambience was nice. Didn't find the staff that friendly or engaging even though it was not that busy. Didn't think the A la carte menu was value for money although the specials menu was definitely worth it

Enjoyed the evening - overall food was good but one had duck which arrived cold and had to be sent back. Service was good and efficient

Always love Cote, great food, great service always feels special but in a relaxed atmosphere. So glad there is now one nearer to home in Bournemouth.

Based on one visit,we were impressed with the service,ambience and quality of the food we had. Catered well for gluten free with gf flags in my dishes. Paid the service charge on this occasion,but not sure I agree with pre tipping. Thanks Bill

The service was atrocious It was almost impossible to attract the attention of anyone to be greeted, for drinks, toilet location menus and the bill When we did get the bill it was for another table that was waved off with a laugh Food was superb restaurant was lovely but if the staff don't sort themselves out this restaurant will attract a lot of criticism

Our waiter was not as good or helpful as when we visited Oxford branch. He forgot complimentary water which we had to ask for. Meal was nice but not amazing.
