Côte - Covent Garden

Excellent attentive service and varied menu. The pre theatre deal is outstanding value for money with a good choice. The house wine is fine and reasonably priced

A quality offering in Central London at a very reasonable price. Difficult to beat given the location and highly recommended if you want decent and interesting food without paying an arm and a leg. Dropped one mark on the score because always slow to provide bill. Hint - ask for it when you order dessert or coffee.

I very much like Cote but today the whitebait was off the menu and we did have to wait longer than usual to be served.

Shown to lovely table straight away. Friendly staff, good food which in my opinion all adds up to a great experience. Have visited here before & it never fails to disappoint.

The restaurant was very busy at time of visiting - staff excellent though they could probably do with a little more help at busy times.

On arrival staff were very welcoming & friendly which continued during our stay. Food was very good & we enjoyed our dinner before going to the theatre.

My friends and I were meeting for a leisurely lunch in Covent Garden. We chose Cote and couldn't have been better pleased. We were greeted and taken to our booked table by friendly staff, given time to settle and not rushed over our deliberations. The menu had a wide range, and so too the wine list. Our food was delicious and we were not hurried off our table but able to sit and chat very comfortably without feeling unwanted. Friendly and capable waiters. A very good experience which I will most definitely repeat.

Our server was great, cheerful and polite. I thought the tables were rather close together. The set menu was varied and the meal chosen delicious.

Great service, lovely food, In and Out in one hour to the Theatre with 10 minutes to spare. Fantastic value for central London. Bravo Cote

Fixed price lunch was good value for money.The service was efficient and friendly even though the restaurant was busy.The decor was pleasant and although the restaurant was operating to maximum capacity, noise levels never became intrusive and the there always seemed to be a comfortable amount of space around the seating arrangements.

Lovely food, took some time but it was expected for a pre-theatre time. Would highly reccomend before a show, really close too all the theatres

Delicious food: we had a combination of calamari and crab followed by an excellent ribeye steak. Very pleasing service provided by cheerful and knowledgeable staff who were particularly helpful over the choice of wine. The ambience was breezy. All in all an excellent experience.

Very good food very nice restaurant pre theatre menu very good value for money. Was very busy but was a Saturday night. Would visit again

Very good food and good quality wine. We found the staff both delightful and efficient. The restaurant is in a very convenient position and competitively priced. We will come again.

the service was good the food was fabulous the wine was great and the company was even better a perfect end to perfect the day

Looked after very well, but my first course of calamari was over cooked, there were three in our party & everone else enjoyed their meals.

Good food at a good price but out of all Cortes in London this one feels very much as though you are packed in like sardines, everything feels a bit rushed , but service is good as is food and obviously it is in a very busy area.

Good and service excellentSeating a little snug.Difficult to hold conversation as noisy.Love linen serviettes.Good range in menu and prices fair.Will repeat experience at another venue.

As always the meal and the service were excellent and my two guests enjoyed the experience of dining there.Of course it is always busy there even at 5-15pm and a bit noisy but one must expect that in the West End otherwise it was all very enjoyable.

Service was a bit slow and in the end we had to leave quickly as we were going to see a show. I thought the bill was a bit high but didn't have time to check it. When I looked at the bill later we had been overcharged. We were charged for 2 pre theatre 2 course meals and my elderly Mother only had a bowl of soup. The food was excellent as usual and the staff were all super friendly.

Very noisy and we had to wait over 45 mins for our lunch to arrive. This in our experience is unusual for Cote. Meal very good when it did finally arrive.

Excellent food and service for a pre-theatre dinner. Location opposite the Druty Lane theatre was perfect. Would definitely eat here again. Buzzy atmosphere too which was fun.

We were celebrating our mum's birthday at Cote in Covent Garden. We raised our glasses to wish our mum a happy birthday, and the waitress very kindly wished her birthday too. After our delicious main courses the staff then brought our mum a dessert with a candle in and sang happy birthday; we had not pre-ordered this so it was a very kind surprise. Thank - you!

Totally enjoyed it. Great food and ambiance, wonderful service by Emanuele. Perfect for pre-theater. We would recommend it and even go back if in London again.

Good food, but restaurant rather cramped and noisy. I use Cote frequently, and often have the same dish. Cooking at Covent Garden was best I have had.

Nice place , friendly helpful staff , eaten here a few times now each time has been very good this time was special as my girlfriend left a gift that I had bought her on the table ! we didn't realise until we were at the station ,so she called the restaurant , they had her gift which she picked up the next day , Thank you it was a special gift .

Lovely dinner, very attentive and helpful staff. I will certainly be returning when I am next in London. I have enjoyed Cote in other cities and it is always of a high standard

We were greeted well and the first pre-theatre couse arrived very promptly but we waited an age for our minute steaks. The food itself was good and the waiter did as well as he could.

Always a nice evening at core restaurants, staff are always friends and food enjoyable. House red wasn't great in this occasion but that was the only disappointment

Lovely place, good atmosphere and the food was very nice. The food did take just a little too long be served and although the waiters were very nice they weren't particularly attentive and we did have to grab their attention a few times to clear plates, get the bill etc.

Lovely meal. I had the warm beetroot salad followed by the Beef Bourguignon, both were delicious. My husband had the pre-theatre menu, pea and mint soup, followed by steak and chips and then the creme caramel. He said his was also delicious. Good value - meals plus 2 bottles of wine - £90 - can't fault that

was very pleased with the welcoming service and how quickly the food and drink arrived. The food steak and chips was delicious and overall we thought very good value for money. Will definitely visit again when next in London.

Food and service very good. Only downside was the table we were seated at in a very cramped corner.....no room for staff or customers to get round us and right by the main door .....so had curtain blown onto us every time the door opened.....so frequently!!

We had a great time. The service was particularly good. It was our friend's birthday and we had brought a cake and candles and our waitress got a group together to bring out the cake and sing happy birthday which we really appreciated. The food was delicious.

As we were going to the theatre we chose from the pre theatre menu which was only 12.50 for two courses, absolute bargain & great food. We told our waiter that we were going to the theatre & the food came out very promptly. Great food great service

Great location for our Theatre visit , speedy service. Pre theatre menu good, however small portions. Cramped seating arrangement , very close to next Diners. We were joined by another guest , who was told he couldn't have a hot choice from the menu as he was not included in my original booking !!!!!!That was disappointing.

Great place very friendly and helpful staff . Excellent price and location to celebrate our girls day out . Food good as always . We will return .

Great food and service. Friendly staff and good quality food and atmosphere. Made a pre theatre meal special. Good menu range, choice and good price.

The food was fine - the service was cheerful but very hands off - it took a long time to get everything and the staff had overlooked both my request for a particular table (sorted on arrival) and for them to make a fuss of my daughter who was celebrating her birthday (they either didn't know or didn't care to do anything).

Great place to eat for a speedy pre theatre dinner. Good to have set menu and full menu available. Service good too, billing took a little while! But overall v pleased and good value.

My friends and I are now in out sixties. We have grown up together but now live so far apart. When we get together for our "lushes lunch" we always choose Cote as the menu is great and you have one of our favourite wines. Thanks.

Absolutely packed not helped by the rain. Table delayed 25 minutes but staff very attentive and ensured we made our theatre time. The food was great.The theatre menu terrific value.

Meeting friends from Canada for a pre-theatre meal. Food excellent and service first rate. Great atmosphere and such a convenient location - a ten minute walk from our theatre.

Location good, food good , service good, but why is the service charge already shown on the bill, do not like this at all, should be down to the customers discretion without out pressure from Cote

Excellent service and the food was good as always .Be assured you can use any cote restaurant and be sure of a good meal as they all use the same menu . A sure fire hit

Excellent as always. Food, service and value for money unbeatable. If you want decent affordable French cuisine in the centre of London you'd be hard pressed to find anywhere better.

Good food however very disappointed with our cheese order. Not what was on the menu and we queried this, was told they had run out of a certain cheese.

Great location, brilliant lunch. Such good value, really love Cote! The set lunch had a very good choice, like the fact that the menu is now set monthly with more variety.

Very good service and lovely simple french cuisine at very affordable prices. I go hear often and would highly recommend. Best to book a table at busy times as very popular and sometimes diffcult to get in if you just arrive on spec

Food is consistently high quality and very good value for money whether the pre theatre menu or the a la carte. The service efficient and friendly .
