Try the St Germain Gin and Tonic from August specials; a lovely drink! Fish parmentier and duck confit served; up to Cote usual high standards

An offer of a complimentary spritzer encouraged us to have a meal from the main menu. Minute steak was tough, as was the replacement, unusual for Cote; finished up with cod goujons, bill adjusted with profuse apologies.

We have been to many different Cote restaurants. You are always sure of a quality meal withought paying through the nose. The Cote restaurant in Cambridge is certainly no exception.

Not at all bad, but a) the floating cheese-topped bread in the onion soup has a tough crust- impossible to eat without knife and fork b) the salad under the tuna nicoise was good, but the searing of the tuna was too vigorous, leaving a burnt taste which dominated the fish

Very enjoyable meal that was inexpensive - the waitress forgot the bottle of wine with our meal and there wasn't any air conditioning where we sat which was a shame but we had a good time.

An enjoyable lunch from the Prestige menu. Pleasant and prompt service. As always Cote delivers a good value experience. We arrived half an hour early for our booking which was no problem whatsoever.

This is a great restaurant in the heart of the town serving very authentic French food. The cream caramel is one if their specialities and is the best I have ever had. The duck breast is also recommend.

The food and service is always very good. We know that if we go to a " Cote " we are pretty much sure to have a good experience, something by no means true for other places.

Today’s visit restored our faith in Côte Cambridge. After a little hiccup last month we hoped that things would be back to normal this month, and we weren’t disappointed,. You can’t fault the value for money and quality of food at this price. On this visit the service matched the food. I’m pleased to report that the status quo has been restored and that the excellent service we’d experienced previously has been restored.

Having had reactions at restaurants who claim to offer gluten free dishes, as a coeliac, I always feel confident there will be no issues when dining at Cote.

Very attentive staff on a Saturday night. The food was delicious and served quickly. Rated 5 stars rather than as their air con was not working and it was extremely hot.

Quite spacious but lively in a great central location in this busy City offering the reliable Cote menu range and good service. The set menu and monthly specials always worth considering ahead of the main menu.

Cote Cambridge is located in an airy restaurant with generous views of busy street life adjacent to St John's College and on the thoroughfare to the main south-north crossing of the river. The staff are unfailingly friendly and helpful, and the simple menu ideal for a light lunch. Reasonable prices and efficient service.

I’d made the reservation online, a table for three, and we had a good position - a good view out the windows, in a bustling part of the ground floor, but without being cramped or pushed-by. The food was ok but not outstanding. Service was cheerful but quite slow.

Our booking was for 18:30 at the end of a long hot Wednesday & the 'meeter & greeter' was obviously tired! Our brief indecision on choice of table irritated him & he rapidly disappeared, never to be seen again, once we'd decided - first impressions still count. However, the food was, as ever, excellent; the young lady serving was delightful & we left on a happy note.

We booked for a birthday lunch. Unfortunately the bread was so hard with the starter that we had to send it back . 2 of the party had chicken which had been kept warm and dried out , mussels weren’t hot enough and to top it off we waited 1 hour & 15 minutes for our meal!

Great food & good service as always. I'm a regular at the restaurant, usually go at lunch time for the pre-theater menu, have also tried the prestigious menu. They're both very good. I love that the menu changes monthly. This time I had the chicken liver parfait starter & plaice as main. As I don't like peas, I asked if I could swap it for some other veg. I was able to choose from the sides with no extra cost. I had some lovely creamed spinach in the end. It was an enjoyable meal with my friend, we were both too full to have dessert this time but we love the creme caramel & crumble.

We really enjoyed the lunch but the service was very slow. We had to wait a long time between starter and main. I had the pork belly but the cabbage wasn't what I would call braised.

Pleasant dining experience. Attentive waiting staff and beautifully cooked food served promptly. My only criticism is that, owing to all the hard surfaces and tables placed near one another, the restaurant was fairly noisy.

Not up to usual standard when visited on a Saturday night. Mussels were stringy and tasteless, though duck was good. Service was fine, but I expect food to be better than most .
