Côte - Covent Garden

Excellent friendly prompt service. Good food selection. Understood our need to be at the opera in time. very busy so it was absolutley necessary to book. Which we did, and were seated on time.

Service was attentive and food was good. There was a problem with not being offered the pre-season menu, but this was resolved with a complementary glass of wine. All in all a good and pleasant meal. A good start to the evening.

the food was absolutely fabulous in Cote in Covent Garden

Excellent service even whilst it was busy over the festive season. The quality of the food was fantastic and great value for money as always.

Very well run by the management . The staff are friendly and efficient. Great food at good prices with a variety of dishes to suit all tastes. Highly recommended.

Although we often frequent Côte, this is a branch we have not been to before. Experience was, as always excellent in terms of ambience, service and food. A delightful meal in every respect for our party of six. Thank you!

Lovely Food staff friendly and great atmosphere perfect for pre theatre dinner. Good value for money, good selection of food. The Steak was a bit cold but still very tasty.

Great atmosphere, delicious food, very good value for money - would thoroughly recommend. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely visit again when in the area.

Absolutely amazing!! Service was good and the food was excellent. Very reasonably priced. And complimentary fizz for a birthday celebration. What more could you ask for!

A lovely meal and very good service despite the restaurant being very busy. We would definitely book to go again. The only downside is that the tables are very close together and crammed in.

We enjoyed another good meal with a reliably high standard of food and service. It's a busy restaurant so tables are fairly close together and noise levels are a little high. Good food at an affordable price.

Service was great and the host was lovely. Even though it was very busy we didn’t wait long for the food. Really recommend the steak

We eat in a lot of Cotes. Today it was excellent especially considering the time of year and it was very busy of course. Excellent service too.

I selected the Christmas menu. For starters I had the breaded Calamari which was quite greasy. For main I selected the rib eye steak, I ended up leaving half of it as it was full of connective tissue - yuck!! Very disappointed!!

It was very, very busy and tables were too close together. The service was mixed: my main course of halibut was missing the braised leeks - I didn't bother asking for them as waitress seemed so busy. White wine was £8.50 per glass and not really chilled. The food that I did have was, though, well cooked. I wouldn't bother returning, as I felt that, overall, it was quite expensive for what we had and the atmosphere was chaotic.

We had to wait a long time for our food. We had told our waiter we were going to the theatre and we had to keep asking where our food was.

Great service by friendly staff, handy location in the west end and the food as always was amazing, such great value for money in the centre of London.

Cote Covent Garden has great food and a nice busy atmosphere in the heart of London. It must be the best value on offer in the City.

The usual Cote - excellent food and drink with excellent service and unbeatable value for money. The Christmas set lunch menu was a pleasant change from turkey. Why go anywhere else?

Very good.Reasonably quick and attentive service and excellent food and wine. Several menus to choose from so there wS plenty of choice. Have been to this restaurant several times with no complaints. Prices also very reasonable for London’s theatre land.

There were 4 if us and were offered a table in an area which could not seat 4 people comfortably- we were then seated in an area where the air conditioning was broken and hence blowing cold air onto us on one of the coldest days of the year. This could not be rectified. One of the orders was wrong and one of the meals was warm rather than hot. Have eaten at Cote many times and this was the first poor experience.

I do think that when Cote Covent Garden is booked, you make it absolutely plain to everyone that there are TWO Cotes in Covent Garden. In two taxi's, both of my parties went to the wrong one and had to walk in the freezing cold to the other one. Also - it's rather cold sitting next to the window in the Tavistock Road Cote - the windows are not double-glazed and its very draughty. Otherwise, the food and service were excellent, as we've come to expect from Cotes everywhere.

The quality of food high and of excellent value as always. Staff were very busy but still managed to keep the service flowing. The only complaint was the table we had which was right by the cash machine meaning that my chair got knocked numerous times!

Cheerful and always busy (so book in advance) and could not be better situated for ROH and other Aldwych venues. Importantly good value tasty food.

Very attentive swevice and food very good. When main arrived with hollandaise over it, having asked for it without, they then removed drinks from the bill without prompting g! Amazing customer service and would return

Very efficient service, staff were friendly, food was very tasty and excellent value for money. Good atmosphere in restaurant. Great to see that Cote hasn’t lost its touch.

Excellent food and wind. Service excellent too. Very busy and popular venue. Table was quite small, seated at the back of the restaurant. Will definitely return.

Good reliable food in a pleasant surrounding. Old fashioned French cooking and wines all at a reasonable price. Not perfect but better than most chains.

Lovely service - everyone is so welcoming and friendly. Supper was good, but the endive and Roquefort salad was a bit ‘mashed up’. Pleasant, but not as good as previously when you had whole leaves and a little jug of cheesy deliciousness!

Delicious pre theatre meal as always. Excellent value and quality. Staff charming and very helpful. Can highly recommend the very tasty creme caramel. Always choose it.

Got stuck in traffic and arrived 10min late, still get a table straight away. Food was brilliant and affordable. Friendly and cheerful staffs. Will definitely recommend.

Had a lovely lunch here today. Food and service excellent even though it was very busy. Cotes are such good value for money especially for the centre of London.

Excellent value for money and very convenient for the theatre. The service was very good and the staff were very friendly. I would recommend the restaurant as a great place for lunch.

We discovered a quite nice place in the center of london where good food is served in a nice atmosphere, we will go back very probably.

Lovely French atmosphere. Waiters were great, made us feel ery welcome. But the food was very average and frankly below par. Nothing like the lovely food in France; less than ordinary. A great shame as the menu, particularly the vegetarian menu, promised so much good food. Disappointed. :-(

First time at Tavistock Street and it didn’t disappoint. It was very busy but the staff and atmosphere was very welcoming. My main dish arrived which was the wrong one but was very quickly replaced with the correct order, so it was no big deal. Cote, you are a marvel, may it all continue.

Really great meal ,friendly staff and quick service at a good price. It was a real treat with excellent quality food and i would go there again!

Excellent good value food in very pleasant atmosphere, although a little noisy. Friendly and helpful staff. Christmas menu particularly good- no turkey , mince tarts or Xmas pudding.

Busy and buzzing, really enjoyable dinner and service was excellent, good food and drink, good place for pre or post theatre Dinner , would certainly go again.

The staff from the moment we arrived were fantastic. We were a table of 5 celebrating my daughters 19th. They brought prosseco sang happy birthday and even brought a chocolate cake with a candle! They made a special night even more special. Thank you!!

Not sure if red or green is good! But certainly five stars as far as we were concerned - friendly and efficient staff, great food and terrific atmosphere. And the bill didn't break the bank!

......good food, an excellent menu choice, changes with the seasons but keeps the familiar firm favourites, excellent value, attentive professional and very friendly staff. Always a pleasure to return

Cote rarely fails to deliver on service and value for money. Today was no exception. We were greeted warmly and had a good window table. The service was excellent and the food and wine very good. I would thoroughly recommend this restuarant

Glad we booked as very busy but were seated and served our 3 course meal all in just over an hour. Our second visit in a few weeks and will definitely go again.

Our table was ready for us as we arrived - very friendly efficient and helpful staff. A good choice reasonably priced and very nice hot food

Fantastic food Very nice place . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Restau Was very busy when we arrived but all staff were very helpful and polite. Seated quickly and food served promptly and was very tasty. They even remembered it was a special occasion for my friends birthday and brought over complimentary glasses of bubbles to us, a very lovely touch

Very welcoming restaurant and staff, perfect food for just before or after the theatre. I would definitely recommend anyone to visit and I will return.

Excellent service,very good food at a reasonable price. A thoroughly enjoyable experience which added to our evening at the theatre. We have booked a repeat performance!

The meal was OK, but mussels as starter were overcooked and stringy. An order was forgotten. Generally speaking the meal was OK, but nothing special.
