Côte - Covent Garden

Lovely pre theatre meal, friendly staff and a reasonable price.

Food was very tasty and the staff were very attentive!

Great experience at this restaurant. Warm and friendly excellent service will be back again 👍

Always a great place to eat when we stay in London Les

Brilliantly as always Great menu skilfully delivered by attentive staff who clearly enjoyed their work

Fabulous food, fantastic staff... would definitely recommend. Took a friend for a birthday lunch and we were treated really well.

So far we have never been disappointed at Cote and it is always a pleasure to dine thete

Another excellent meal at Côte! Great food, good service and a buzzing atmosphere. Perfect when visiting Covent Garden or the nearby theatres.

We really enjoyed the set menu. Great value for money and food was very good. Service prompt and friendly. Will return next time we've saved enough to visit the ballet.

Lovely meal. Particularly enjoyed the chicken salad with Roquefort and hazelnuts.

This Cote is always packed and for good reason. Great food and service.

I arrived 5 minutes late and was seated straight away, as we were going to the theatre we ordered immediately and our starters came straight away, however once these were cleared away our mains did not follow, after waiting for a while I enquired and was asked if we had ordered fish, I said no and the waiter then went to the till, it seemed as if our mains had not been ordered, after waiting again I asked if they would be long as we had to go, I was told they were on the way, after waiting even longer I asked again and said it was too late as we had to leave, this was ignored and I was told it would be 3 or 4 minutes and the waiter disappeared, after waiting even longer I explained we had to go to a lady in a white shirt, then the food arrived, at this point I didn't feel like eating as I was so frustrated, however my mother was hungry so wanted to at least eat something, then we found she had no fork, I told the waiter this and said I had had enough and wanted to go, to which he just handed a fork and left, at this point I was so angry I told the lady in the white shirt we were going and to get the bill, she didn't charge thankfully because it was such a disaster, the waiter then told be that it was busy! Because of all the commotion I then had to get an uber to get to the theatre on time which we were going to walk to, arrive without having had dinner and i a bad mood (just to add insult to injury this was a birthday treat for my mum)

As always, the food was excellent, and very French. This time I had to ask for the pre-theatre menu as it was not proffered automatically as it always had been before. I hope this was just a “blip”, not a deliberate policy. Otherwise, it was all fine.

Very welcoming and good service. Excellent menu and quality. Ambient setting.

Lovely spot for a Birthday Dinner, with a surprise completely Kir Royale 🥂 and very good service 👌🏼

Una maitre italiana molto simpatica, un menu ampio, portate ottime e prezzo equo.

The food was excellent and the service was very professional and our waiter was charming and coped well under pressure he was Spanish and his name was Johannes(?) he hadn’t been there long but will be an asset to the restaurant.

Very quick and friendly service at this restaurant. Thank you.

loved the food, great atmosphere, even pre-theatre, and so reasonable price

Really deliciously cooked linguine. Just right, like the Italian does. Combination of the sauces was so yummy. Highly recommended.

Had set menu- all fine without feeling it was outstanding. Was on the small rather than large size.

attentive and speedy pre-theatre service and good value for money

Excellent service and very tasty food with near to no waiting time. Great value for three courses

Excellent food and service. And so obliging and nothing is too much trouble

Great lunch time set menu, fresh and tasty. Good value, great ambience and attentive service. I will definitely be back.

As always an enjoyable lunch at Cote Tavistock Street. The service was good and although we changed our table (we were seated with two large groups, noisy but not surprising given the numbers) this was done with a minimum of fuss. I would have given 5 stars had my main course of the spatchcock chicken not been dry/overcooked. Usually very reliable but not this time.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. I would recommend this restaurant

A lovely relaxed evening at an excellent restaurant with a nice atmosphere. We were a party of 11, and the staff worked incredibly hard to provide us with a lovely experience. There was no delay with the food, it was hot, it was all ready together so that no-one had to wait. Everyone said how much they enjoyed it all. Well done to the staff, and we will be returning!

We had lunch at Cote Tavistock Street on Friday lunchtime. Our lunch was excellent and the service superb. Thank you for an enjoyable time.

Cote changed our reservation time when we arrived early with no qualms. Service friendly & relaxed despite being very busy time

Seated quickly and before our booking time, servers were happy, smiley and helpful. Food was delicious, only downside was that our starters and mains came at the same time which didn't give us much room on the table but also meant the meal wasn't as relaxed in some ways.

Food and service was excellent, my grandchildren bought me tickets for Mama Mia, for my 80th we also go to the theatre a lot and always go to this restaurant, we love it

Service was good. Nice glass of Pinot Noir Wouldn’t eat there again

We decided to have dinner here after having a great lunch at your St Katharine Docks location earlier today unfortunately the experience wasn’t the same. My wife ordered the Breton chicken after tasting mine at lunch but at this location it wasn’t as good. Also it was supposed to come with frites but there were none. We would have said something but we didn’t realize they were supposed to be there until we finished and were given the menu again to select desert. The manager (Jess, I believe) did offer us 2 Kir Royal if we returned but we are leaving in a day & 2 visits to Cote are enough. The main problem however was with our waiter Jari who didn’t seem interested in taking care of us. After ordering wine we asked for ice, he never brought it, we had to ask another waitress. Also he didn’t take our dinner order timely. The table next to us came after us & their waitress took their order while we were still waiting. We ended up asking her to take our order. Perhaps with a different waiter we would have a different opinion of this location.

We have been to Cote many times and loved it but this time less so as there were less staff and you struggled. We were a table of 10 which probably added extra strain on the staff. Food not quite up to your usual high standard.

Excellent service and food. I particularly liked the waitress asking what sort of wine wanted (light, medium, heavy) and how much tannin. And the wine she brought was just right. Much better than perusing a wine list!

We booked a table for 3 and all had a wonderful meal, took advantage of the free bottle of wine signing up for the news letter. Would have been 6 stars but had to ask for the fish pie to be cooked through was cold in the middle but this didn’t detract from a very enjoyable meal. Service was excellent

Welcome Good Service Excellent The Food was good No different to previous visits and will repeat the event when in London again

Pre-theatre lunchtime meal with 2 adults and 2 small boys - the food was lovely but service far too slow - it took 45 mins from main course to dessert arriving and we had to rush to make it to the show in time which was stressful. In all it took 2 hrs from arrival to departure and for small kids this was torture. Previous pre-theatre meals here have been much faster so hopefully it won't happen again! Cannot fault the food it was delicious.

Always the best place for a medium priced meal. Staff are great.

The service and food was very good despite a short wait albeit it was very busy. Main issue was where we were seated adjacent to the plate and cutlery clearing area. The noise from constant plate crashing and items being literally thrown into the lift. We were keen to leave after the meal due to the noise and left with headaches. In our opinion there should not have been tables for dining so close to this working area!

The waitress we had was very helpful and attentive without being intrusive. I accidentally broke a glass and she dealt with it quickly and efficiently. The food was very nice for a chain restaurant as sometimes chain restaurant food can feel a bit like microwave meals. This was for my birthday with friends and along with the Kia Royals for all, they also gave me a lovely pudding for free. Would recommend.

Fabulous service and food , every member of staff we’re so pleasant. Thank you

The waiters were not as attentive as usual, the food wasn’t as good as we are used to at cote

Nothing was too much for the waiters heres. Our birthday celebration was perfect and they went above and beyond. They even managed to remember everyones names which was impressive. Great food and Great Service.

Lovely meal celebrating my daughters 18th. Food was superb, service faultless. Thank you.

Brilliant food at reasonable price for West End Only downside it’s like a conveyer belt pre theatre to rush as many people through!

This is undoubtedly the busiest of the 16 or so Cote branches I have eaten in, but the staff were smiling and cheerful, and helpful.

Excellent food and drinks and excellent staff at a lovely restaurant

Excellent location close to the theatres. Lovely food as always - as good as a much more expensive restaurant. Tables a bit close to each other. Service very good - friendly and polite.
