Côte Cardiff Bay

Quite disappointed compared to our first visit. Food somewhat disappointing and not to normal standard. Calamari warm with little flavour chicken rubbery and bland

As reliable as ever, good food, the usual modest Cote proportions (i.e. you have to pay extra if you want green veg) and pleasant ambience. A star lost for not putting out a clean knife for the main course. The one used for bread buttering was simply neatly removed from side plate to table for reuse. Whatever happened to etiquette?

I thought the meal was not up to the usual standard the service was good as usual but agin the meal was poor standard which was disappointing

We requested a window table and we were not disappointed,great experience as always

Booked on line without any issues. Very courteous and attentive staff who made us feel welcome. Food was really nice and a pleasant ambience. Thank you.

We had a wonderful evening. I had mentioned when booking that we were celebrating my wife’s birthday and we were greeted with kir royales! We love Côte and have never been disappointed with the meal itself. Tonight the moules starter was excellent (still surprised though that this French restaurant does not automatically provide bread with the starter!), the mushrooms with the pastry topper was really tasty too. For mains the fish pie was brimming with fish (including lots of juicy prawns) and the Breton chicken was moist and tasty. All rounded off with the ice cream dessert (my wife’s served with a birthday candle 😀). Overall excellent as always. The staff work hard and are efficient and courteous especially on an evening when the restaurant was packed there being both a WNO opera and a BBC concert in the WMC. We’ll be back.

We had a lovely meal prior to coming to the Welsh millennium centre to watch a show. Staff were friendly, accommodating and the food was delicious. Lovely atmosphere and buzz about the place.

The menu choice was very good. Staff were lovely. Food was fine - not Michelin-starred, but certainly at the higher end of restaurant chain quality. There was one small point as regards improvement - timing. We booked a 6pm table so that we could make a 7.30pm theatre performance, but we weren't eating our main meal until just after 7pm. So it was rather rushed, and left no time for dessert. We appreciate that sometimes there are staff shortages, but just wanted to mention it as others would have booked with similar intentions, so timing is important. But thank you - overall very nice despite this.

Why is the pork not with crackling all the rest of food brilliant

Never disappointed. Lovely atmosphere buzzing. Great attentive staff. Location perfect for The Millennium Theatre Cardiff. When choosing the wine and not sure which of the two we would prefer our waiter gave us a sample of both to try. Great service. Nothing is too much trouble.

Excellent service. Made to feel welcome when we arrived. Our waiter was very efficient, professional and friendly. He was one of the best waiters we have had anywhere. We have been to the Bay Brasserie many times and have always had very good food and service.

Lovely meal as always, friendly and helpful staff and great atmosphere. The blood orange martinis were delicious! The coupe noire dessert is incredible and it has become a firm favourite.

Great ambience, busy hustle and bustle of a restaurant. Location was perfect, staff were friendly and very busy, we didn’t receive all our order due to the restaurant being so busy but the overall meal wasn’t ruined by this.

As usual food was excellent and good value for money. Service very good and staff very pleasant and helpful. Slight blip - my friend had the butternut squash dish with poached egg and she found the sauce too mustardy which spoilt it for her.

Good service, excellent food. Service good, staff very obliging and pleasant

Absolutely delighted with the service , couldn’t ask for more, waiter was really friendly and professional and on top of everything getting us water and extra cutlery when needed without promoting. The food was delicious, we as a family of 4 all cleared our plates! Will definitely be going here again next time we are in Cardiff! Only downside was the noise, there was a large party in celebrating a birthday and their level of chat made it difficult to hear each other- but this didn’t effect our overall experience.

A really lovely meal, beautifully presented with attentive staff. Thoroughly recommended. Thank you we will be back soon and certainly tell our friends to eat with you.

All of us really enjoyed all our courses, everything was cooked well and tasty plus the service was also fantastic, everyone serving us was friendly and helpful. Perfect!

The meal was served with efficiency and politeness, it was extremely tasty all served within an excellent ambience, the staff were attentive and made us feel special

Your Food and service were spot on .The reason for not awarding the 6 stars is that our table was not ready for us and was placed on a table close to the bar area and was quite hecktic with waiters rushing around this area ,But this will not stop us returning.i will be recommending you to friends 👍

Great menu choices and no disappointment when food arrives, staff friendly and attentive. Excellent selection of wines. Eight more words required, now only one! Hip hip hooray

It was amazing food was fantastic my mum enjoyed aswell

Beautiful meal as always and wonderful service. Have visited Cardiff Bay on several occasions and have never been disappointed. French onion soup is absolutely beautiful

Really love this restaurant. Had four visits in the last two months and excellent every time.

The food was delicious, the four of us enjoyed the atmosphere, the service was Superb. The chocolate mousse was the perfect way to end a delicious meal.

Excellent food and service as always! Very pleasant experience, will definitely visit again.

excellent night spent at Cote Cardiff Bay . Staff very helpful and attended to all our needs we were a very large party of 29 service was excellent!! I have scored the noise level as a high and this was mainly down to the size of our party. Thankyou

Lovely birthday breakfast Very well looked after by Cristiana and Greg Lovely

Another great experience at this restaurant. However, twice in a week we experienced the worst mussels ever! The staff were apologetic and very helpful but very disappointing to see the kitchen are still serving dreadful quality mussels, they should change suppliers or remove them from the menu.

As always, amazing food, arguably the best steaks in cardiff however service slower than normal

The food was amazing but we had to wait an hour for our starter followed by another hour for our main. The manager, however did give us a complimentary bottle of wine to make up for it.

A first class lunch experience, asily the best Brasserie on The Bay.

the food was very nice, but the service could be improved. So from the mains until we got the deserts it was more than 30 minutes, then it was only delivered half of it and it took some time to get everything. Also for a table of 10 only to get 2 baskets of bread it not much in it was also disappointing. Overall the food was good but the service need to be improved.

The service & food was not of the usual high standard, fish waa dry & had either sat a while after cooking or was not fresh! Pre booked Pre Theatre party of 5; specifically stating due at Theatre by 7.20. table booked for 5.30 meals ordered at 5.55 & we were served at 7 20! We bolted our food , paid & ran, missing the start of show disrupting other theatre goers. We will not risk this again. The restaurant was busy with pre booked Theatre goers & not staffed adequately to cope, when we reminded the waiter we were going to the Theatre & time was passing he shrugged a reply of "everyone is going to the Theatre " Very Disatisfied !

As always, a very pleasant experience. The service is excellent, the food is delicious, well presented and freshly cooked. All in all Cote at Cardiff Bay is a great.

Really helpful staff who were flexible and generous in responding to a booking issue so we didn’t miss out on an offer. Food beautifully presented and tasty. Several of our group hadn’t been to Cote before and were very impressed at the quality of food and service. As the evening got later and the restaurant busier, the service became a little unpredictable and staff very busy, but always polite. A good plac3 fo4 a gjroup dinner st a reasonable price.

Excellent food and good service. Good choice of menu including a seperate one for vegetarians. The restaurant has a nice ambience. No hesitation at all in recommending.

Great meal, very attentive staff, food was very good, highly recommended.

Great food and very tasty good service and didn’t wait long but not rushed either my steak was cooked to perfection the cream caramel was the best I have tried can’t wait to go back

We enjoyed a very relaxed meal. We were able to hear each other talking without loud music. There was a very good choice on the menu.

Excellent food and service,room is very loud though, needs something to absorb the noise and difficult to have a conversation without shouting. Staff are very helpful and pleasant.

We visited at lunchtime. There was no rush we were able to take as much time as we needed. The staff were very attentive but not pushing. The whole experience was spot on.

Excellent evening....service as usual was top notch. Thanks again . See you soon

Tina and I had booked the table for a pre-meal to seeing Nick Cave in the millennium. On arrival the staff were lovely and even though it was busy we were taken to our table instantly. The service at the table was very friendly and efficient and the dishes we ordered were very nice. A perfect start to a perfect evening.

We always have a great experience at Cote Cardiff Bay and Cote Mill Lane Pre theatre dinner on 14 March was top class and we thoroughly enjoyed both courses Val and Mike

There was very little GF choice and zero flexibility when trying to order as your pre prepped which I found extremely disappointing

Busy (Saturday evening), rather noisy, but good food and excellent service. A good place to go for a group evening, perhaps rather less so for a romantic twosome .....

Wonderful meal, atmosphere and service, will deffinately return. We had the pork belly and the ribeye steak both were cooked perfectly. Many thanks for a very enjoyable evening.

Good food and service. Excellent restaurant. A bit pricey for what you get a little side salad with the meal would be nice and make the meal look more value.

Lovely restaurant, nice friendly service,a bit chilly sitting in the window had a draft around my legs. The food was superb, wine was very good. Overall experience 4 out of 5 - there is always be room to improve 😁
