Côte - Covent Garden

Perfect for pre-theatre dinner. The menus are extensive, interesting and very well priced. The staff are attentive, helpful and friendly. What more could one want?

They looked after my guest and I very well. Food cooked to our requirements and service was superb.

Efficient and attentive wait staff. Usual Cote menu made better with the option of January specials and a Prestige 2/3 course package. However the portion size of the Jan fish dish from the specials was insultingly small. Perhaps it had come across from the Kiddies Menu! Or maybe Cote's new year resolution is to reduce the portion size? So although the food was nice, in value terms the lunch disappointed .

Cote offers good value, there is consistent quality. Staff are pleasant and helpful. The sea bass main with fennel was exceptionally good. As usual the creme caramel was good.

I had a very nice time as usual at Cote. The staff were attentive and the food was very good. Great ambience too, I'll be back

I think this is my favourite Cote, I use them a lot ......sometimes more than once a week. Its my go to guaranteed decent restaurant, that is also good value. We recently dined with friends that made our friend Dan's birthday very special shout out too Ben for the Kir on the house t help us celebrate in stylexxx

A fabulous location. Great food, fantastic service and a very reasonable price.

The service was attentive and smiley but not over intrusive. Nice table. Good food and wine, it was lovely to have a proper ice bucket.

The COTE set lunch menu invariably offers tasty selection of dishes to suit most tastes and yesterday was no exception. Very good value too in pleasant surroundings with good service. I would particularly commend the French onion soup.

Great value! All the food was hot and delicious, it was a tad noisy as it is so popular. Service was excellent too! Thank you.

We had a fantastic time at Côte Covent garden. The food was very good as usual and the staff were attentive, friendly. Would highly recommend it.

Lovely food and staff. Great atmosphere. Near theatre which was handy.

Despite being packed out our table was available on time and the service was excellent. The pre theatre menu was interesting and very good. The food was excellent.

I took a family of four out to a pre theatre supper at Cote in Tavistock Street ( a favourite haunt of mine from my days on Mamma Mia ) and everything was perfect . We each had 2 courses and everyone agreed the food was wonderful . The staff were friendly , even though the place was packed and they were rushed off their feet , and they were particularly kind to the children . Only one word of caution , the ladies loos could do with a bit of an overhaul! A thoroughly enjoyable pre show dinner , and thanks to all concerned.

Took a little longer than normal as ingredients had not arrived - food very good once arrived and great service !

In the heart of Covent Garden this establishment serves great food at a great price!

The food and service were good. Sadly there was a very large noisy party which disrupted the whole restaurant. The staff tried their best to make the other diners comfortable.

Lovely place for pre theatre dinner. free table water and top service. delicious champagne.

The restaurant was jam packed, but in spite of this the service was fantastic and the food absolutely delicious. Would definitely recommend. Thank you for a great start to our evening.

Excellent experience at Cote. We both ate off the ' pre theatre ' menu which was well judged and delicious. The service, as ever was first class - attentive without being pushy. Still one of the best value places to eat.

Great, bustling atmosphere with happy / professional service / wide choice of interesting food. This restaurant offers the great value at reasonable prices. Ideal for pre or post theatre.

Actually it was beter than a 4 (I'd say it was a 5) for three of my party of four - the pre-theatre menus were as good as ever - but one of us decided to order a steak off the a la carte - he wanted it RARE - and it came but it was only browned on the outside and absolutely RAW inside, not RARE but RAW. So he sent it back (rightly) and they did another and it came back EXACTLY the same. They said that's how they did them! Come on, RARE should not be RAW. Rare is bloody but not cold and uncooked. There was no blood in this, it was still raw and uncuttable. So he sent it back again and in the end he opted for chicken and chips. I wish he'd gone for the pre-theatre menu like us as it was (as ususl) very good value. LESSON - during the pre-theatre hours, do actually order from the pre-theatre menu.

excellent rib eye steak, so delicious, particularly enjoyed the pain perdu as pudding during the Christmas month with their special menu, total yum and highly recommending this restaurant

Good food - drinks a bit slow to arrive despite not being too busy Good service and location in Covent Garden Will return for another visit

A great restaurant for a festive get together with friends. We were 10 mins late, it wasn’t an issue. As usual, Côte has a very traditional French atmosphere, and the team work very well together. The only minor criticism would have to be that the waiting team were not as attentive as is usually; not of any great importance, at this very busy time of year. Again, beautiful food, well presented, on hot plates. All reasonably priced. Many thanks.

Really nice atmosphere, good friendly service. Plenty of food well cooked and presented. Cote is probably the best restaurant chain in London! An experience I get every time I visit. Well done!

We had a lovely time yesterday. We had a great lunch before going to the theatre. The service was welcoming and very good, leaving just enough time between courses. We will definitely be visiting again. Thank you. Marian and sisters.

Good place where the staff are friendly and the food very good. For a chain it's above average and worth visiting. I had the fish stew which is reasonably priced and excellent

As usual, food and service were good. I would like their menus to vary a bit, we visit varioys Cote restaurants every couple of months and the menus are almost identical from one year to the next

Very good meal as ever. Service is pleasant and responsive. Would recommend the Roquefort salad, risotto and onion soup! Excellent value for money and a good evening overall b

Great place to go before theatre as service was quick, service excellent and food very good. Would go back again. Waitress particularly nice and friendly.

We chose items form Christmas Menu and the Al La Carte. All Good including the French Onion Soup. Attentive service all with a very full restaurant for lunch

Always a consistently good experience.Value for money excellent in terms of the food,wine and specials Staff are attentive and efficient even at very busy times

Great food as always with happy smiley staff in spite of being really busy! Best value champagne by the glass too as well as other wines by the glass!

We had a table booked but unfortunately it was not available when we arrived. However, the Manager was very apologetic and immediately offered us all a complimentary Kir. The restaurant was extremely busy but we all felt we had been well looked after and, as usual, the food was of a very good standard. Still one of our favourite restaurants and we shall be enjoying a meal at Cote Brighton on christmas eve. Bonne noel to all the staff.

Our waiter was morose and fairly unpleasant. Didn't smile, didn't say to us did you enjoy your evening and Happy Christmas and to be honest couldn't really be bothered. No lamb parmentier on the menu even though our booking was at 6pm so two of our table had to rethink quickly. All the food ordered was good. Mentioned all of this to the nice guy at the bar and he said he would have a word. All the other waiters were smiley and cheery but not ours. Will continue to use Cote as I don't expect he will last too long! Thanks

Amazing evening. The service was exemplary throughout the entire visit from delightful and professional staff; and the food was divine with a wonderful choice. Wine choices also fabulous and covered every taste. Not only was the service on the night exceptional but I had requested a window table when I booked and our window table was ready for us, perfect. I cannot recommend Côte Covent Garden highly enough, the best night out, thank you.

Cote restaurants are always efficient, always have friendly staff & their menu choices suits all tastes & pockets. They are available in most places so I make a bee line for them as I know the expected standard.

I always come here when visiting London. It's such great value for money. The food is good and there is plenty of choice. The staff are always so happy and helpful and it has a vibrant atmosphere. It's important to book.

Fabulous yet again! Always excellent quality of food and service - an unbeatable combination! Côte is fantastic.

Great value for money to suit all budgets , great food and service....tables not on top of each either...enjoyed from the moment we walked in...

Met a friend for Breakfast here. Superb in every respect.

This is a busy restaurant in the heart of Covent Garden but always privdes excellent service and food always great. Would highly recommend a visit.

I always enjoy Cote which ever I one I go to. Cote Tavistock is well positioned in Covent Garden. It has a lively atmosphere but there are still areas in the restaurant where you can find a quieter table. Food was excellent - simple but tasty. We had the Christmas menu which was well priced for eithet two or three courses. A good place to catch up with friends.

Good food at a reasonable price - for the west end. Very good bottle of Cote du Rhône. Attentive service and a jolly lunchtime all round.

Staff there is so helpful and friendly, and our delicious, very reasonable dinner was luckily served quickly because one was late coming and we had to be out to theatre soon - many thanks.

Wrong main course was served but was exchanged without fuss immediately. Because I had to wait an extra minute or so I received a sincere apology from head waiter with of complementary drink. Food and service was great despite very busy restaurant - pre theatre. Always go back.

We enjoyed friendly, efficient service and the manager dealt with an issue with the food very satisfactorily. I would certainly recommend this branch of Cote to anyone.

As usual a superb meal and service,despite being exceedingly busy for Xmas 🎄 Never fails to impress.The xmas menu is spot on, Merry Xmas everybody.

I really like Cote. Good food, good service , not too expensive and friendly waiters. Especially good for pre theatre meals, so I’d like to stay Longer next time.
