Côte Bournemouth

Service was good, friendly and attentive but not overly so. Food was OK. Atmosphere and cleanliness was good. Only negative thing I have to say is that no one took our personal details, and I believe at the moment this should be done for contact tracing.

We were delighted (a) to have been able to reserve a table for dinner and (b) to enter the restaurant and find that it was the delightful Cote experience of old. Friendly service, candles on the tables and a menu bursting with lots of choice - such a contrast with the puritan efforts of so many other lesser establishments. Our only criticism? Why did it take you so long to come back to us? Peter & Paula Baillie, Bournemouth

Very noisy environment. It was busy, but busy restaurants don't have to be noisy. Perhaps something to do with 'white noise' or acoustics. The meals are expensive for what they are. They seemed like mass-cooked and reheat-to-order meals for the price of a cook-to-order meal. One meal in particular had to be sent back. The potato was totally cold - I don't mean not warm enough for my liking but physically cold. I don't like the addition of 12.5% service charge to the bill. A service charge should be discretionary. It says discretionary on the bill, but the starting point is that it is included so if you don't want to pay it you have to have it removed. When looking at the menu - add 12.5% to get the price you will end up paying.

Amazing food and really friendly staff. Have a really enjoyable evening

A good meal. Well presented and really tasty. It’s good to get out again.

Great experience, friendly and very professional staff. Food was outstanding as usual especially the gluten free choices.

So glad when we heard Cotes was reopening in Bournemouth. We went on the first day & it was just as good as before lockdown. The food & service was excellent & we are looking forward to another visit soon.

Great food, service and atmosphere. Really enjoyed ourselves will come back

Service was very good. The food is well presented and tasty.

Amazing afternoon! Thank you!! Was a little thrown off by how busy it was so the wait at the door was a little nerving as no social distancing possible. But other than that it was superb. Our waiter was nothing short of excellent and all the staff acted professionally and all wearing the correct face shields. Everyone enjoyed their food and it felt good to be back! Perfect x

Lovely food & great service. Staff wore Visors and cleaned down tables and chairs when people left, which was very reassuring unlike other Restaurants we visited.

Always an enjoyable experience with great food, in a classy setting, with friendly staff

Tables too close together. I had an upset tummy after beef bourgenone. Service was slow and as a solo diner I received less favourable attention. I don't agree with the way the additional service charge was included in the bill. It was very difficult to object to it. However, the chocolate mousse was superb.

All good. A couple of favourites missing from the menu but great food, service and atmosphere. Glad Cote is back open!

Food was lovely and the service was excellent, very friendly staff and attentive.

We visited Cote Brasserie after a 5 month absence due to lockdown and found everything almost the same as before. Good food, excellent service and a £20 discount! Couldn't be better.

Excellent food, great choices, friendly staff. Reminded me and the wife of Paris

Having eaten at 3 other establishments in the area since they re-opened, I found Cote the most comfortable - good spacing between tables, waiting staff wearing visors and lots of sanitation stations. I also liked the fact the menu was not too restricted (unlike the others). The quality of the food and service was as good as always.

We had a lovely meal. The food was excellent (steak, grilled chicken and chocolate fondant) and we were impressed by the service. The staff were friendly, welcoming and on top of all Covid arrangements.

Great to be back pleased to see that only those with booked table were allowed in.

So good to be back - same friendly welcome. Excellent food Excellent Service WHAT MORE COULD ANYONE ASK FOR

Very polite and helpful staff, would go back. Food was lovely too

Brilliant customer service and delicious food. Lovely experience, would highly recommend

As always food and wine was superb and staff were lovely- polite and attentive. Highly recommend 😊

The food was absolutely amazing! The service was great! Will deffo be coming back when I visit Bournemouth.

Very good food, service and ambience with the added bonus of eat out to help out! Great

Lovely meal, friendly staff. Have eaten in your Bournemouth restaurant several times already Just one small thing I would have liked some Coleman's English mustard with my steak!

Fantastic! Came for our 1st wedding anniversary very impressed! Great food Great Atmosphere

We have visited Côte Brasserie regularly during a 6 month period while my husband has been in and out of Bournemouth hospital. On every occasion the food and choice of food has been consistently stunning. Well presented and always tasty. Would totally recommend eating here.

We had a great time as ever. Very attentive service and good quality food and drink. We were made to feel welcome throughout the evening.

A lovely dinner as always. Greeted warmly by the manager who is so attentive. It is such a pleasure to visit.

Like always been....Excellent Nice to have seen some familiar faces and nice to have met a few new ones

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.

A lovely dinner as always. Greeted warmly by the manager who is so attentive. It is such a pleasure to visit.

The staff were very courteous and helpful. Dining was a pleasure. Although Mothering Sunday is a busy period the staff coped well with no apparent fluster.

Fantastic food and great atmosphere. Thourghly enjoyable evening with great service. Good value too.

Excellent service, lovely food and great atmosphere. They gluten free options really help with my dietary requirements. We love coming here and we are already looking forward to our next visit.

I’ve been to Côte in Bournemouth on several occasions and have not been disappointed yet. The food is always tasty and well presented and much better value than other places I have visited recently. Keep up the good work

Lovely friendly staff. All my requests granted, fab atmosphere and tasty food. Going the extra mile to write happy birthday on dessert plate was a lovely touch.

Once again, we had a very pleasant experience. The food was delicious and the staff were extremely helpful and polite. Although it was busy the service was good and the atmosphere was just right.

Food and ambiance both of a very high standard, as we're the staff. We love Cote restaurants, wherever situated. The desserts were excellent and were of a good size too.

Staff where very good food was as always at cote very good we have eaten at many cote restaurant and found that this one was as good as we have eaten at very good would recommend to try

Lovely atmosphere, window table request fulfilled, tasty food with good portion sizes and goods value. Complimentary gin and tonics were a fab bonus start to the experience.

Excellent, all round, from service through to the food, staff polite and attentive, food cooked superbly, flavours good, interesting choices, all round great culinary experience, thank you

We all really enjoyed are food which was all cooked very well apart from the pork which was over cooked . But all in all we all enjoyed the afternoon and will definitely be coming back .

Lovely restaurant in the centre of Bournemouth with both A la Carte and two reasonably priced lunchtime menus. Food is excellent. Service is excellent. This has become one of our favourite places for meeting friends.

Really enjoyed atmosphere and food with my girlfriends this lunchtime. We all had different meals and everyone enjoyed the food, will definitely come back again. Service was good.

I can go to any pub chain and spend a tenner and enjoy instant free wifi , I visit branches in Bristol and Bournemouth and when I point the terms of use out to my friends they are appalled , so to use the wifi it has been known a few people put in rubbish anyway .I don't see why I spend £65 with Cote and provide all my personal details so you can sell my data ? I get enough junk emails without generating more. Great food but you devalue the brand doing this. Keith Perry

Really kind and attentive service and amazing desserts. Ten words minimum.

As usual good food and excellent service. The set menus are reasonably priced but we find the a la carte a bit pricey.
