visited cardiff branch 1/8/17 with my wife and elderly mother for her 88th birthday. food and service excellent, but, and it's a big but!! If you are to be a French restaurant why do you not provide bread at the outset and not wait for the clients to request it? In France bread is supplied continuously at no extra cost. Small things mean a lot.

This restaurant is always lovely and clean. The staff always look professional, are very friendly and welcoming. The food is of a high standard and the set lunch/early evening menu offers great value. The nice thing is that the set menu changes so you can always try something new. The steak frites is a constant which is just as well as it is a favourite for some of my friends.

amazing food and amazing service. The staff were really helpful and even without complaining they offered to chang a meal and offered other options when they noticed something wasnt right. When I say the food wasnt right, I mean the food was lovely and was edible and we were not even going to say anything. They checked and offered another perfect meal. We declined that as the food was still amazing so they decided not to charge us. Again amazing staff, food and management. One of my favourite resteraunts. As Del Boy would say Bonnet De Douche, Tres Bien.

I think it a good idea to inform your guests that the complimentary drinks for example a birth a day celebration are only applicable if you order from the a la cartel menu. This was swiftly and efficiently sorted by the staff for which I am grateful.

A good place for lunch or a pre show meal, being right opposite the Millennium centre. French waiters add to the French Cafe ambience. Usually no need to book , but best make sure!

Fantastic anniversary meal for my husband and I. We were seated in a prime spot and received a complimentary drink to mark the occasion. Service was exceptional and staff outstanding. My husbands steak was over cooked but was changed with no problem with a new meal produced which was superb, and the restaurant removed the charge for this from our bill which we did not expect at all. We will definitely return again. Thanks to all at Cote!

Good food served promptly. Service was friendly and efficient in a clean and pleasant environment. Location was perfect as we were attending a concert in the WMC. No table d'hote at 5.00 pm on a Saturday though and prices of drinks have gone up.

Cote is, simply, reliable. Food is always prepared to a consistent and high standard. Staff are well trained, striking the right note between friendly and professional. Customers are only bothered and interrupted once when in the middle of their third mouthful of the main course by being asked "Is everything all right?" (a pet hate of mine - if we're munching contentedly OF COURSE everything is all right - otherwise we would be turning red in the face, frowning, turning over bits of the food on the plate and inspecting it with a look that says "unimpressed" and generally looking grumpy - and if everything is all right we do NOT want to be interrupted.... Grrr). But as this affliction is obvioulsy one of the ten commandments in the world's standard reference manual on "how to train a table server", Cote still gets a thumbs up, as at least their staff do it relatively unobtrusively. But for all of this, they still get one demerit point and I score 5 instead of 6. Tales are big enough to avoid feeling cramped and, finally, the bill is reasonable for good food cooked fresh (budget £40 a head including drinks for three courses). In the last year I have visited Cote at Covent Garden, Windsor, Bristol and Cardiff Bay and have enjoyed all four visits. Keep it up!

Lovely 3 Course meal for 4 of us, a little different from the norm. Good service, good atmosphere, good time. The wine ( Corbiere ) was also very good if a little expensive at £22.95 a bottle. We will go back but perhaps drink ..... Beer.
