Côte Bristol Quakers Friars

I gave my overall experience top marks for quality of food, service and attention to my gluten-free requirements. My friend, however, was not so happy with her mains course, French cottage pie and peas. She said there was very little beef in the dish and along with the peas (she left most of them) the meal was lacking in taste. And why the pretence that the pie was French -it was very much English but not as good as she could have cooked herself?!

Lunch today (14th Feb 2019) for my Wife and I for our first visit to Cote Brasserie, Quackers Friars, Bristol, on the 45th anniversary of our first date. Starters of Moules Mariniere and Crab Mayonnaise with Sourdough toasted bread were lovely and the Mains of Lamb Rump and Duck breast were sublime. The staff were very pleasant and helpful, ensuring that all tables were attended to regularly and efficiently. We will definitely visit again. Graham & Diane Mills

As always very friendly reception. Great good value set lunch menu. Cote Never lets me down

Very tasty dishes and overall good value. Excellent Corbieres rose wine. Service good. It would be nice to have a small portion of bread offered with the salad starter - perhaps on request. The £2.50 basket only makes sense if two people share. Bread is always offered as part of the couvert in France.

My husband and I have dined in Cote many times and usually have no complaints at all, today though we had to send the bill back twice, the first time we noticed we had been charged for a complimentary bottle of wine and when it was brought to us again we were charged for an extra main meal we had not ordered, there was no problem when we queried it but had we not checked the bill we would of been over charged by about £35. Not impressed. Not up to the usual standard! No complaints about our meal though.

Only offered Chardonnay or Merlot not the advertised “complementary”wine, eventually settled for a wine £6 cheaper in value. Subsequent tables were offered the correct wine. Although very quiet, service was very patchy, had to ask for plates to be cleared and delay in offering desserts. Special...Herbed poussin very dry and too many peppers in dish.

We just want to say thank you to whoever manages this place for choosing a professional team. Everything was great. Would go there anytime if I would not live so far. Thank you

Service was great, the food was amazing we had the pork and steak loved it!! Wood definitely return thank you! It was perfect for a special evening! Loved the blood orange martini!

I went to Cote Brasserie for my birthday lunch and my waitress Julia was lovely. She made me feel extra special, with complementy drinks and a dessert. The food was amazing, I will definitely be back.

Great food and service. Had a great afternoon in the sun and we were not rushed.

As always a delightful experience. Great value set lunch time menu. Friendly efficient staff. Enjoyed birthday kir a welcome bonus. Has to be my absolute favourite restaurant.

Food was amazing as always, very nice polish waitress :)

Another first class experience. The warm and friendly service together with attention to detail from all staff was perfect - food absolutely delicious with a wide variety of choice. Look forward to returning soon.

From the minute of entering the restaurant we were welcomed, The staff are fantastic and food amazing. The young lady that served our table is very knowledgeable an asset to your restaurant. Great location, good layout plenty of room to move around. Champagne excellent thank you for making my grandsons 21st birthday so special he didn’t want a fuss discretion was paramount for him to enjoy a wonderful evening.

We always enjoy our visits to Cote. On this occasion our favourite dish, the duck, was not cooked pink and the slices were small and rather dry. We have had this dish so many times in Bristol, Cardiff and Bath so it's a shame when for once it's not right.

Excellent food and excellent customer service Worth another visit in the near future

Great service. Good food. Woukd have ben maximum except on of our steaks was not cooked as requested. Food was very tasty and right size of portions.

fantastic delicious food, very great wine, brilliant staff and wonderful atmosphere. I love it at Cotes it has everything going for it , thank you for such great service .

Really lovely meal lots of choice. We had the set menu which was excellent value and quality. Staff were very attentive as well. We will be back!

Lovely food and people but felt the courses were brought out too quickly and we felt a bit rushed as the staff kept watching us to see if we were finished.

Cotes restaurant served us High quality products with unique tastes. Everything was priced sensibly, with something for all tastes. Good range of beverages and quality cocktails.

Food was good but the service was really slow. We sat down at 12.30 the starters did not areive until 13.10 and the overall meal was completed at 15.05.

Lovely meal, friendly staff , the two ladies who served us , made us feel very welcome

A really lovely meal- great atmosphere, delicious food and wonderful service.

An excellent meal with very attentive, but not intrusive, service. We only come to Bristol once a year but a meal at Cote is becoming a fixture of our annual visit.

Great service. Great food. Nice touch of free Prosecco for birthday girl

Excellent food, wine and service - as always in Cote.

An excellent breakfast, with a very good choice of options. The Formule is good value, particularly for the quality, and great coffee. Attentive service. Really cannot fault!

4 of us had a pleasant evening but one main course came with the chicken as good as raw... not impressed but the meal was exchanged straight away & the cost of the main course deducted from our bill...

Excellent breakfast , good value for money , staff pleasant and efficient . Throughly enjoyed meal and I will definitely return and recommend to others .

The staff were all lovely and the atmosphere was perfect. The food is always great and at a reasonable price. There is nothing to complain about.

Good food with excellent services. Every time I come to Bristol from Hong Kong, I visit COTE one or two times. I just enjoy it so much !

First time at this restaurant, but frequent visitor to other Cote branches. Very happy with service. Many thanks.

So reliably good. Lovely staff. Fabulous food. Relaxed welcoming atmosphere....and all at such reasonable prices. I eat there regularly,but tonight took a friend new to Bristol. He was impressed and will be back.

Had the set Valentine’s Day menu which was really good. The food came out really quickly and so did the wine that came with it. Bonus points for putting a rose and candle on the table which I had asked for when booking online on the off chance. Only negative was we were sat near the entrance and it was quite cold.

Me and my husband were very much pleased with the level of service provided and the quality of food was just great. We went there for my birthday and i was surprised to get a nice treat in the end of the meal. Thank you!

Warm welcome; lovely staff who readily moved us to an alternative table because the first was under the airconditioning unit. Very tasty and enjoyable meal.

I always enjoy my meals at Cote, either the Clifton or Quakers Friars sites. The food is consistently good and the service is friendly and competent. If anyone asked me to recommend a restaurant in Bristol I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Cote.

Food was absolutely flawless and the lovely lady serving us couldn't have been more polite, friendly and helpful. She was so lovely. Great breakfast experience

Excellent meal and excellent service. Lacking in ambiance. blurb.

We had a lovely birthday celebration lunch yesterday to celebrate our twin sons 40th birthdays. We were a party of 16 and we were catered for very well. The food was good and hot. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is because when I phoned up to check something, I found that they had no record of our booking which was made at least a week or two weeks earlier . What would have happened if 16 of us turned up and there was no table for us ?!!

Consistently good, usually go to the Exeter one. First visit to the Bristol restaurant and it was equally good. Very fast and good service . .

Service very good and food great not noisy like some restsurants music very low key.settong very nice and cocktail was lovely blood orange martini. Friendly and helpful staff.

As ever: superb service, terrific food and great surroundings. Thank you

Lovely location . Best thing was the extremely helpful and accommodating staff. Would come back just to be served by them. They Made our evening.

Good food,fine wine and very helpful staff. Five of us went for lunch and we will definitely be going back again. Nice venu for a special occasion.

Very attentive service by waitresses and waiters, brilliant steak cooked to perfection and lovely wine. Very short wait for food and we will definitely come again!

A very enjoyable meal in pleasant surroundings.The staff were friendly professional and attentive. The meal was good value for money, well cooked and plentiful. Finished off with crepes with ice exam and grand marinier. A well cooked very enjoyable meal, washed down with a bottle of red wine. Money well spent.

Brilliant dinner with friends on a weekday evening. Ate from the Prestige menu. I am a vegetarian and a couple of choices were available on this special menu. Super waiter with a good sense of humour. No buzz in the place, we were the only guests as evening progressed. That’s the only slight negative. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely ambience and good food in a lovely setting in the centre of Bristol. The set menu is excellent value for money although I wish the desert options could be more varied as they always seem to be the same.
