Côte Chichester

It was wonderful to have a normal experience after so long and enjoy the excellent food with such good friendly service.

Great food as usual. Only comment would be that owing to the Covid restrictions the staff were wearing face visors and it was a bit hard ti heart what our server was saying!

Great food - super management and staff - happy to be back - missed you all - well done everyone !

This was the first time my husband and I had dined out since the lockdown and chose Côte because we knew that every precaution would be taken for our’s and the staff’s safety. We had a really lovely lunch, the food was delicious and the service excellent. It was certainly great to be back!

It’s great to be able to go back to one of our favourite places to eat. There was a warm welcome and the food and the service was at its usual high standard. We went for lunch, however what we really want is for the breakfast and brunch menu to come back, fingers crossed we won’t be waiting long!!

Fantastic meal, as always. Staff always very friendly and social distancing works well.

Staff as usual so pleasant and efficient. My lamb was ordered as medium rare but turned out to be blue. The manager agreed and was swiftly taken away to be re cooked and was delicious in the end. Unfortunately my husband had finished his meal by the time my arrived back. It was our first meal out after lockdown and so disappointing as it was the place I wanted to go most. When paying we found my main was taken off the bill as a goodwill gesture which was lovely but wonder if the offer of a desert or glass of wine might have been a better option . I love this chain and will always use it again.

We had an excellent meal, really delicious and felt completely at ease. The staff were very welcoming and very efficient service. It was lovely to be back in Cote & to feel more normal!

Extremely clean restaurant. Excellent customer service. Really friendly staff. Felt very safe at this strange time. Food was delicious.

It was so good to be able to eat at this excellently run restaurant which never fails to impress. We will be back soon!

Excellent meal ,service,staff brilliant as always will be go again. D.Packham

As always the staff were very pleasent and food was delicious. A small touch of normality in a world gone mad.

Very enjoyable meal with friendly efficient staff all adhering to current guidelines

Great to be back and to be greeted warmly by the lovely staff.

A good experience,well organised.Staff knew how to serve using Covid guidelines.

It was really amazing, great service, very attentive, just what was needed. Thank you.

The staff are excellent, so friendly and accommodating. Food is always reliably good. It was very nice to be out and feel normal again.

So good to be back; staff as lovely as ever and steak frite with a side of creamed spinach can’t be beaten!!

As it was before lockdown, great service, lovely staff and good food. The problem I see going forward is having no cheaper set menus you will lose a lot of previous loyal customers many of whom are of the older generation, because of the cost of the present menu.

A really enjoyable meal at lunchtime today food was cooked to perfection and the service was exemplary. Glad to be back.

Excellent lunch time meal. Good to see it open again.

It was nice to enjoy the atmosphere and see many of the original staff still in attendance. The food was very good and up to their normal standards. The only critisism is that I would have liked less prawn content and more fish in the fish pie that I had,but apart from that all ok.

Cote is my favourite place to eat out so when I received an email, I booked straight away. Great food & great service... always! One thing... bring back the creme brûlée 😝

Very enjoyable meal. It was so good to have our favourite restaurant open again and to see the very special staff.

Had a get together for a 60th Birthday. Speaking for the whole group we had a lovely meal enjoyed all of it complemented by great service.

We are from Wiltshire and make regular trips to Chichester for family reasons which usually entail a meal out at Cote prior to a concert in the cathedral. It’s never fails to satisfy on food, atmosphere and friendly, efficient staff. Always a pleasure to eat here, and the food is always of a high standard, and delicious. What more could we want.

Once more, as regular customers a faultless experience. Well done to management and staff and not forgetting those in the kitchen upstairs! Excellent food, wine, service and atmosphere. Will be back again soon.

Good food and wine. Friendly staff and quick service. Good value for money.

Excellent service and food, been many times and can not find fault. We took friends who wanted to try the experience and they were very impressed. Will definitely be back.

Lunchtime meal which was great and car free enabling us to enjoy a bottle of wine. Great food and service at reasonable prices, we’ll definitely be back again.

Excellent food, value, service and atmosphere once again! It is our favourite Chichester restaurant and we have tried most of them. We'll be back! Might see Arnie?

Great service and reasonably priced for what we ordered! Can’t wait to go back!

Great restaurant and wonderful to have confidence in gluten free menu. Would definitely recommend for lunch. Lovely staff too who were well trained. Couldn’t fault it.

The food/service and the venue were as always first class. Yesterday however there was a mix up with booking. My name was not on the pad. However the manager found my name had been found as JohnHolly but my e/m address was correct.I had booked it as usual through your booking service!! Cote continues to be mine and my wife's favourite eat out venue.

Excellent brunch. Very good service from cheerful staff. Highly recommended for brunch. Had the vegetarian breakfast, which was delicious , a very generous serving as well.

Good ambience and the staff and particularly the manger were excellent. However the two main courses were bu no means perfect. Grilled chicken underdone and steak over cooked. They were replaced without any fuss. So well done the staff.

My wife and I visited Cotes Chichester on Sunday 10th of Feb. and had the most delicious meal, it made our day when we also received a complimentary bottle of wine.We love dinning at Cotes where the staff and service are first class, we shall return. Mr Kenny

Excellent food, great service, very keenly priced - highly recommended :)

We all had a lovely evening and the food was absolutely delicious. Some drinks orders were forgotten. However the staff were very apologetic and we had a great evening.

Amazing experience. Restaurant was full of guests that night but that didn’t mean we had to wait for anything too long. Delicious food and great service. We will be returning.

We were very pleased that our friend booked us for last Sunday's evening meal at Cote in Chichester. The service was extremely friendly and efficient and the food was delicious. As a vegan/vegetarian couple, we were delighted to have a choice on the menu. We will certainly return to Cote in the future.

Fab breakfast! Celebrating a birthday and Anniversary which was made all the more special with great service from a waitress who anticipated and remembered every aspect of our dining experience.....thankyou Cote. See you soon.

One of my favourite places to eat, staff are always excellent, the wine selection is top notch and the food is tasty as great food should be. I always recommend Cote...

Good food great ambiance. All staff very attentive. Had not visited for a while and really enjoyed the visit once again. Hope to return soon

First visit to a Côte Brasserie so took advantage of complimentary bottle of wine offer. Popular early evening restaurant for a Wednesday and full tables are always a good indicator. Had 3 courses from A-La-Carte menu and the food was good and tasty, but disappointed that Prawn Gratinée starter and Beef Bourguignon main were not served with a little bread to mop-up the sauce, as the French would do as a matter of course - any café/restaurant in France would include at least a quarter baguette (20 pence worth) for each person. I asked the manager why bread wasn't served with the starter (the sauce was delicious) and he said because it had croutons in it! The complimentary bottle of wine served was a 2018 Pays D'Oc Merlot that on the bill was priced at something over £20 - I had to ask for the price to be removed from the bill as it was complimentary as confirmed by the manager on arrival. Fortunately I didn't have to pay for the wine as if I had made this selection I would have been very disappointed how cheap this tasted. On returning home I checked the offer and found the complimentary wine was meant to be Syrah 2017, IGP Pays D'Oc £21.50.

Cote always provides a reliably tasty and enjoyable meal with excellent service and is open to serve when most restaurants have given up for the night. Last night was no exception. I particularly enjoyed the chicken liver parfait with toasted brioche - it's nice to have an alternative to toasted sourdough these days.

Delicious food and good value as usual. Extra thanks to our lovely waiter and the kitchen staff for rushing to serve us in time for our next engagement even though some of our party arrived very late. Orders taken, cooked, served and eaten within about 3/4 hour at our request. This restaurant combines the value of a 'chain' with a personal service which makes it an excellent choice for eating out frequently in Chichester.

We had the three course Valentines meal. The team provided excellent food and service. The team were especially thoughtful and helpful about my food intolerances.

Very good service. Food was fresh and presented well. Good choice of wine and nice atmosphere. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Nothing was too much trouble.

Lunch out with my husband. The food was delicious. I recommend the king prawn starter. We both had pork belly for our main. The staff were warm, friendly and very helpful.
