Côte Cardiff Bay

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.

fabulous restaurant.... fab wine and a good selection of food. The people working there are very friendly and there is a good atmosphere. I would book in advance as it does get busy.

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.

Good service and excellent food from the 3 course set lunchtime menu. We were joined by friends who also felt they had a similar experience.

We were a party of 7 they forgot 1 meal but made up for it buy not changeing for that meal and gave a free desert . The food was good .

Great place for breakfast -served until 1.00 at weekends! The team here are always helpful and friendly. Good choice of food. Coffee is good as well.

Disappointed! Starters...Pate and bread ...no garnish _Asparagus...so small and cut in half to make look a larger portion and undercooked.Chargrilled chicken ...part black.Won 't return...:((

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.

Very polite staff and lively window seat. We had the early bird menu which was very good value, and very nice. We enjoyed the "buzz" of being in Cardiff Bay on a sunny evening.

Great location. The food was very good wine was a tad pricey. Lovely ambiance and subtle background music. Over all a lovely evening with my wife.

Love the place & the food - have been coming for a few years. The staff is always pleasant. Felt this time that we were all seated too close together when there was plenty of room in the restaurant.

very nice late lunch, bottle of red, rib eye steak, bread olives to start pancakes with strawberries & Chantilly cream to finish. All excellent. Well worth a mention---- very pleasant ,efficient staff, the waiter, a young man from Poland exceptional, smiling face, helpful but not intrusive very professional service . looking forward to return visit. 10/10

Food and service always good, table wasn't ready due to previous diners running over on time. Staff gave a complimentary kir royale for the inconvenience... excellent as always

The food was ok nothing to complain about it's what I expected for a chain restaurant, service was adequate staff were polite and fairly attentive

Me and my husband love this restaurant down Cardiff Bay. Staff are warm, welcoming and nothing is ever too much trouble. Looking forward to visiting again soon! The Whitings

Service was efficient but not friendly. Seafood stew had plenty of seafood but also a little too much salt. Creme caramel was divine. Not a no but not a must go.

had an amazing evening, food fab, cool, lovely, tasted so nice, the staff our fab, always talk to you, they know what you like, can't fault them.

We have eaten at the Cardiff Bay Brasserie so many times and it never fails to come up to the highest standards. Very courteous staff, delicious food. We are booked in again in a few weeks time!Thank you

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.

All aspects of the eating experience were excellent. Table was available on arrival. Service was superb and tbe food was cooked to perfection. A lovely evening.

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!

As on previous visits great service, polite, attentive staff, lovely food. It was easy to book online and well-timed for our pre-theatre dinner. Couldn't have asked for more.

enjoyed our meal there, food was lovely especially the chicken Pate and the steak,. atmosphere as always was very pleasant, staff very helpful, fab evening

We made a request for the table when we booked which was fulfilled when we arrived. The food and service were both great, and there was no rush even after wed finished eating.

Consistently excellent in every respect each time we visit. Staff are well trained and this evidenced in the way in which they carry out their duties.

Fantastic meal, excellent service, highly recommended. The set menu has a good variety and is extremely good value for money. Finished it all of with a very nice cup of coffee

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!

Excellent meal, lovely atmosphere, will definitely visit again. The restaurant was busy all evening but we did not feel 'rushed' at any point, thoroughly enjoyed, thank you.

Fabulous meal, amazing service, and beautiful restaurant! Second visit here in cotes CardiffBay & it didn't disappoint! Steak was amazing! And the desserts are fabulous!

Another lovely dining experience at Cote, Cardiff Bay. This is our 'go to' restaurant in the Bay. The food and service is always top quality.

Generally good. Staff are very obliging. It is a bit like an up market conveyor belt type eating house. Very handy for the Millennium Centre if it's raining!

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.

Starters and desert were lovely. However over the five steaks ordered in our group, all five were over done. Not bad but not great overall. Won't be going again.

Love this place. Food is always amazing and service so attentive without being intrusive or snooty. The fixed price lunch menu is a real bargain too. Never fails to impress. Merci!

excellent food and service, good wine and quick service pre theatre visit, good buzz throughout visit, will be back again, could not fault anything for price paid

Relaxed professional service. In a comfortable setting near to the Wales Millennium Centre. Excellent food nicely presented. Will be back again in the near future

This is fantastic location if you're exploring Cardiff Bay. We enjoyed excellent service, fabulous food and wonderful wine as always. I can highly recommend this restaurant.

Pleasant evening at Cote Cardiff Bay with friends. Food was good and we will go again. Two of us ordered Reblochon and olives - the Reblochon was sold out and the olives never arrived. The Fish Parmentier was especially good. Staff were friendly and attentive.

Excellent service. Tasty food affordable good value very well situated in the heart of Cardiff bay. Stunning views over the harbour lively atmosphere. Good bus and train access

Everything was excellent. We will certainly visit again although we are very August fait with Cote restaurants , we have visited London, Bath, Bristol and Cardiff city centre.

Good food & chic restaurant but service very slow. Had to ask several times to order,so extra water brought as requested & order taken slightly wrongly

Good quality food from a la carte menu and superb service which has become an outstanding characteristic of the two Cardiff Cote restaurants.One disappointment was the quality of dishes on offer on the set menu...Not good enough I am sorry

Very good meal. Waiters very attentive. Would recommend for any special occasion. Wine list very good but was overpriced, despite this it was a very enjoyable meal.

Went in group of 6 for pre theatre menu. Excellent buzz in restaurant. Good value menu with reasonable standard of food for price. Service friendly and quick. Everyone enjoyed. Will return.

I love Cote. The food is delicious, the staff attentive and friendly and their Cardiff Bay location is excellent. I never leave disappointed and would highly recommend you choose to eat your breakfast, lunch or dinner here. I certainly will be visiting again soon.

Excellent food, service and quick appearance of food. Will be returning soon. The staff couldn't do enough to help and ensure a fantastic experience. Xx

Fab restaurant, great food and service will definitely visit again. We were a party of 5, had 4 different starters, 4 different mains and 3 different desserts and all were superb

Another great meal at Cote Cardiff. Well served and great service. The ideal place to eat before the theatre. Excellent choice on pre theatre menu. Good staff who make certain you enjoy the experience. Great start to an evening out.

Starters were very tasty and good quality, however my main course of chicken was overcooked and very dry and the minute amount of sauce didn't help. My husbands main again too many puy lentils, with far too little sauce. The haddock itself was fine. We did wait some time for our starters to arrive, the main course arrived in good time. The waitress was very pleasant.

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.
