As a Coeliac I appreciate the fact that there is a dedicated Gluten-free menu and that I can eat and know that the food is safe. Always the food and service are second to none. Thank you.

Come here often and usually love it. Tonight bought some relatives for their first visit- shown to table next to a wall at back of restaurant (despite asking for window / front table if possible) then left for 20mins without any service. So embarrassing as I’d told them all how great this place was. The front of house lady was abrupt and rude unlike previous staff I’ve known (she accused us of not requesting window and later actually bothered to read the request and apologised). Usually love this place it’s my go to in Cambridge - often go 2-3 times per month but let down today

We had such a pleasant evening - my daughter's birthday. Shown to a super table - no nearby noise - very helpful pleasant staff - loved the special offer of the free Gin and Tonic - got us off to a very good start! All the food was good - we all had different things and the vegetarian was extremely happy to have his own menu. We always enjoy Cote and this time was just as good as ever.

I always feel confident that I will get a good meal at Cote. Being a Coeliac it is comforting to have a gluten free menu available so that I can choose freely and know that I will not have to worry that any gluten is hidden in one of the dishes. The Moules were up to the usual standard and my steak was perfect. I do not get the chance to have frites very often when eating out so this is always a treat for me.

Food was delicious, atmosphere was lovely, very friendly and attentive staff. Only downside was that there was no allergen list available for two of our party who had multiple food allergies. Although the staff were very helpful in going through their choices, it would be much more reassuring for people with allergies to be able to see an ingredients list/ allergen list. There are great gluten free and vegetarian menus but for those with nut and seed allergies with risk of anaphylaxis there is no written information

I book a group of 8 to 10 persons for lunch every month. For value, choice, service, quality, Cote ticks all the boxes. We could go to many other restaurants in Cambridge but there is never a suggestion to move.

Food really good and good service. BUT be warned check your bill as we were over charged. Had a voucher as it was my birthday for 2 Kids but ended up paying for them. They took ages getting our bill so we were in a hurry.

The overall meal was very nice. However, the Duck was a bit dry and needed more gratin potatoes, and the waitress ordered the wrong Lamb dish for one of the party which meant the extra vegetables arrived halfway through the meal.

The gluten free menu provided an enormous choice (which I greatly appreciated). We both had the king prawn gratinee to start. For mains, I had the lamb rump from the main menu (not the special, though I was tempted) and my wife had the risotto. For dessert I had the chocolate mousse and my wife had the creme caramel. All the food was absolutely delicious. The wines were excellent too but the highlight was definitely the gin & tonic with elderflower liquor and cucumber which was the best G&T I have ever tasted. The service was faultless and friendly. My gluten-free requirements were fully recognised. All-in-all this was the perfect birthday lunch for me and we will definitely be returning to the Cote. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

As usual, a superb lunch with my husband and I both choosing from the seasonal specials. The monkfish and the side dish of Jerusalem artichoke gratin were delicious. Can't wait to return to either Cambridge or Bury St Edmunds Cotes. Linda and John Walker

Two members of staff continued a conversation between themselves as we informed them of our reservation. An obviously regular diner was served, given menus etc. before us even though she arrived after us. We had to ask twice for condiments.

Had a great meal at Côte Cambridge. Booked a table for 7, online, on the day and had quite a few options for time, excellent service, no fuss. Mentioned we were celebrating someone's birthday milestone and they greeted us with bubbly. Waitress was great, food was wonderful, had a really good evening, will definitely be going again.

Our first visit to this branch. It was a special occasion so when I asked for a good table, the staff obliged without hesitation. All the staff were absolutely lovely which contributed greatly to our evening. The service was excellent and the food in the main very good. Unfortunately there were a couple of problems. My husband's starter of smoked salmon came with distinctly stale bread but when he mentioned this the charge for the starter was immediately removed from the bill, which was pleasantly surprising! Less so was the rare ribeye my son ordered, which was then presented as medium sirloin. A quick check with the kitchen and we were told all was well. My son was asked to check his steak and he said it was fine as all our meals had been served and he didn't want to delay us all, but his meat was definitely not rare, which detracted somewhat from his, and therefore our, enjoyment. Nevertheless it was a pleasant and enjoyable evening and I would happily return.

Greeted warmly when we entered the restaurant and given our complimentary cocktails without any nudging from us .. food wonderful - as always - only upset was a very very truculent and loud toddler who screamed for the entirety of our visit, but that wasn't the fault of the restaurant or staff.

Our local Cote Brasserie is Norwich, which is consistently excellent. We ate today in Cambridge after meeting up with some family members and were very dissapointed overall with our lunch experience. The service was very slow and the restaurant seemed under staffed. The waiter who served us was very stand-offish and disinterested when taking our order. We waited a very long time for plates to be cleared between courses. The food was ok but only warm at best and seemed as though as though it had been waiting for a while under a hot lamp, before being served. Overall not the quality of service or food that we have been used to receiving at our local Cote.

Wrong drinks arrived (vodka and tonic rather than the gin and tonic we asked for). The gratin potatoes arrived cold, I sent them back for the same ones to reappear 30s later after being microwaved up. Really disappointed.

We had a lovely dinner to catch up with our daughter. Staff were solicitous but not intrusive. Food was delicious: lamb beautifully cooked with delicious vegetables. Good creme brulee, although top could have been harder! An excellent medium priced restaurant suitable for a family dinner as well as a more festive occasion. Well located near the centre of Cambridge.

Altogether, a splendid experience - as always when we have come to eat. A slight niggle over the volume of the music which we became aware of as we were about halfway through our dessert course (we were sitting right beneath one of the speakers); we mentioned it to our waiter and he said he would attend to it. The noise continued to the end of our meal. Five stars anyway, but the noise level of music played is a sensitive issue and generally, the lower the level, the better(I think).

We went to the Cote in Cambridge for my daughter's birthday. The service was friendly and efficient, when the food arrived it was hot and tasty. We also appreciated the complementary birthday drink they kindly provided, what a lovely thought by the management. I have no hesitation in recommending this Brasserie.
