Would usually go to Cote in the Bay but thought we'd try this one in town as it was convenient at the time, we were very impressed with the standard and it lived up to our expectations our the regular visits to the Bay. The food was absolutely stunning and we had the early bird meal deal which was amazing for the standard of food. Definitely visiting the town centre Cote again!

We had a lovely meal on New Years Eve at Cote Brasserie Cardiff City Centre. Staff were fantastic despite being busy and food was delicious and great value for the NYE menu. Our waiter Bogdan was first class with personal service, good advice about wine and NYE extras a lovely touch. Would thoroughly recommend this restaurant for Cardiff City Centre and a touch of class and Cote in general. Never fails to impress and highly recommended for couples and groups of friends. Well done.

Food only average. Have eaten at Côte before so thought try it again overpriced in my opinion, fairly limited choice on the menu. Unlikely to try Côte again

We were seated promptly and the service was great. The food was lovely, all starters, mains and pudding!! The restaurant was a little on the noisy side but it certainly wouldn’t put me off going again.

Decent overall quality and good menu selection, but there was a rushed quality to the service this Friday night and an oddly dark and soperific atmosphere in this branch when we visited. An experience unlike Cardiff Bay or Bath restaurants which we have also visited fairly recently.

We regularly eat at this restaurant and always get good service and quality food in a relaxed environment. Food is freshly produced and although the menu doesn't change that frequently there is always something interesting to try with a healthy and wholesome edge.

We really enjoyed the meal. The service was fantastic and the staff were fully attentive. We finished the theatre earlier than expected and the staff did everything possible to change the time of our table to ensure that we didn't have to wait for the original time that we booked. Couldn't ask for more thank you

My friend and I went there for our Christmas get-together and chose the daily specials. We found the Food overpriced for what we got. Also, the 12.5% tip - £10.88 was pretty steep. The restaurant has a good deal if you choose the lunch menu but the other prices are high.

Pushy waiter, my Halibut steak had a bone in it and the edge was cooked solid, my wife had crab mayonnaise and ended up with food poisoning - the rest of the food was OK. Not a very happy experience to a day trip to Cardiff to pick grandson up from uni. Too add insult to injury a tip of 12.5% was already added to the bill. Whatever happened to discretionary tipping for good food and good service. Yes you could decline to pay the tip.... but the practice itself should be banned.

Starters were lovely. My main course was duck with a cherry sauce but found the sauce bland. Dessert was not much better. When I mentioned to the waiter he thbked me for my feedback, but wasn’t concerned that I had not enjoyed my meal.

The service was good. But unfortunately the experience was let down by the food. The starters of smoked salmon and crab were fine (can't go far wrong with these). We waited a long time for the mains and when they came the pork belly was overcooked and dry and the halibut was the same. I think they had been served up and forgotten and were then blasted in the oven to serve. Doubt that we will go again.
