Food and service good, but at £48 for lunch for 2 getting expensive for an up market fast food outlet, much better value for money to be found else where.

Cote always produces top class food. Meats cooked perfectly with well seasoned sauces. The creme caramel is well labelled as a specialty. A great night thanks.

It took over 30 minutes for 3 simple breakfast orders to be delivered to our table, with very little explanation given or apology for the wait. The waiter then started to take away the plates when 1 person was still eating their meal. The food was fine but nothing special.

A most courteous and friendly welcome was followed by equally friendly, courteous and efficient service. The meal was excellent and the free bottle of wine (a Cote reward) was most acceptable !

The steak tartare and the onion soup was excellent- the rump of lamb was pink the way I like it served with nice vegetables- my wife had the sea bass with gratin Dauphinois and she loved it. I finish with la crêpe praliné and with all that a Bottle of chardonnay l’Aiglon I have been to Cote about ten times and never had a bad meal.

I find the business of being constantly asked for my opinion extremely irritating - so much so that I'm going to the bother of typing all this without saying one word further about how the actual meal in the restaurant went.

Since my last visit I think the recipe for the French Onion Soup has changed. Sadly it is now more like a thick Onion Gravy. My wife had a Crab starter as a main course and felt it a bit lacking in Crab and too much of the other ingredients.

I’ve said it before, but this is by far the best restaurant in Canterbury, regardless of price, for both food and service. Really delicious food that captures the taste of France and, what’s even more remarkable is this restaurant is part of a chain. The chef, the waiters, the manager and company must all be acknowledged for achieving such wonderful standards. Not a thing could have been improved- thank you.

The staff were wonderful - friendly, polite and efficient. The restaurant had a nice feel to it and was warm and welcoming on a cold and wet winters afternoon. We were glad it was not too busy as it was New Years Day as had there been people on the next table we would have felt like we were dining with them as the tables were so close together. The food was delicious. We both chose from the set menu. I had the Cauliflower, potato and leek soup followed by the wild mushroom risotto and my husband had the flaked tuna followed by the rabbit cottage pie. All dishes were well presented and tasted lovely. My only complaint would be that neither of my courses were very hot but the flavour more than made up for this so I didn't say anything at the time. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this restaurant and will return next time we are in Canterbury.

I really like it, the place is cosy and the food is really nice. But I think that the optional gratuity of 12,5 % is too much!

Nice food, friendly staff, had a long leisurely lunch with friends catching up with no hassle to hurry up. Only blip is the ladies loo, located on the second floor, a very long trek from the main restaurant.

The service was very poor: we ordered olives before the main course and it did not arrive; I needed a gluten free roll which did not arrive. We were not offered the menu for dessert or a hot beverage, once the main course plates were removed! Another negative: we ordered our main courses once we had chosen and the meals took at least 45 minutes to arrive. It was annoying to see other clients arriving after us and their meals came before ours. Not happy.
