Côte Dorchester

As ever, we had great personal service from the manager Kate. She found a nice table for us and we had a really enjoyable evening.

The staff are always very helpful and the standard of food is always excellent. The Dorchester branch is very popular and well rated for value for money.

Cote Brasserie At Dorchester Is an up-and-coming area, Which is located at the old Eldridge Popes Brewery it is a good experience, you should try

Very enjoyable meal good service, we we in no hurry and wanted a break between courses, which we asked for . Yes a good place to eat , one I would recommend.

Lovely food, at a reasonable price. Excellent service in an elegant atmosphere. Our first visit but we will definitely be going again and taking friends.

Excellent food, environment and professional staff. Very attentive but discreet at the same time. Authentic atmosphere. Fantastic steak au poive fries enjoyed all three courses of the 'special ' menu that evening. 💕

We were greeted very warmly. The service was excellent . We enjoyed the Kir Royal at the begining. The food was very good quality and value.

A varied menu including specials and a set menu. We chose the set menu which was delious and generous portions.The staff are friendly and helpful.

The restaurant is always clean and inviting , food is always served at the correct temperature and of course all the staff are welcoming friendly and polite well done

Good atmosphere although we went in quite early on a Friday. The set menu was good value and the food was tasty and well presented. Staff pleasant and happy to answer our questions on the menu

The service was very good and the food was excellent value for money on the early menu. We enjoyed ourselves, but found the wines a bit expensive.

Lovely food and outstanding service. The staff are very attentive, and ensure you are well looked after throughout. I even had complimentary Kir Royales as it was my birthday, and a candle in my dessert and the staff singing me 'Happy Birthday'!

Just great! Cote Brasserie is our favourite restaurant! We now eat in Bristol, Exeter and Dorchester on a regular basis. We love the place, perhaps Exeter the most.

Yet another excellent visit to my local Cote. Breakfast with friends a good choice of food served by friendly staff nothing too much trouble. Next visit is my birthday!!

Lovely evening with attentive staff and very good food and wine. We go to Dorchester Côte regularly as it is consistently good. Their early evening menu is excellent value. Ideal eating their before a visit to the cinema.

The decor, atmosphere, staff and the drinks are all fine but it is always the food that disappoints me in that portions are a bit scanty and I always wonder how fresh the ingredients are; I do not recall ever having eaten anything here that rates anything more than average. That said we are always made very welcome, the seating is comfortable, there is plenty of space about the place and the ladies loos are spotless, well designed and good quality soaps and hand cream supplied.

Our favourite restaurant in Dorchester but food all came too fast this time. I ordered the Beetroot salad with goats cheese dressing but it wasn't great. But in contrast the Fish pie I chose for main course was excellent ...always great service at this restaurant and friendly staff but remember diners need a little rest time before the next course ...

Had a lovely birthday in Cote last night the staff even sang happy birthday to me. Will continue with my celebrations on friday night again in Cote.

The food was absolutely lovely. The service was quite slow throughout which was a shame. The three courses took just under 3 hours and the restaurant was not that busy. The staff were very friendly throughout, however there was only three staff on for the whole evening thatvwe saw and at each table two staff out of the three served at each time, i am unsure why.

It was a nice meal. Good food quality, which was well presented. Staff were friendly and helpful. My only gripe is with the bill which had the "Optional Gratuity" on it, which I had no option but to pay as it was already added to the bill.

The meal was for my partners birthday and I can honestly say it was lovely. The service was good and the people serving were very friendly,as well as a good atmosphere. Would recommend this for a nice evening out

Two of us had Moules for starters, both portions contained closed Moules, which must not be eaten. Plus the dish did not taste right! The main and puddings were lovely.

Nice atmosphere , good service. Eating with friends. Would recommend calamari as a starter.. although filling as generous portion. Nice & fresh. Steak main tender. Desserts are delicious. Would recommend .

Service was slow. Regarding the Breton chicken dish: the chicken was very dry and the Provençal sauce was desiccated. Espresso coffee served in small glasses and was too hot to handle so caused some spillage onto clothing. Staff apologised and served another express in a cup.

Highly recommended, I had the Steak frits, from the early bird menus, delicious. Quick service and professional service, really friendly team great start to an evening

Service was very good, staff cheerful and smiling, food couldn't be better. I have to use a minimum of 25 words but have nothing else to say.

Excellent as always, lovely staff at Cote in Dorchester, the food is good , well presented and reasonably priced. We like the seasonal specials variety too.

As always the food was really tasty and the service was great Our food was served today by Stephen who was very professional. We'll be back soon!

One of the best places to eat in a hurry in Dorchester. Excellent and timely service. Steak au poivre was great but mussels were tired and Overcooked - I won't have them again.

As always excellent service and food. As we had family with us with two autistic boys they pulled out the stops for us. Can't wait to go back.....again :-))

Excellent service and excellent food as always in the Cotes Dorchester restaurant. One of my favourite places to go. Me and my friends had the early bird menu deal which is always great value.......just a shame the pudding choices are always the same

Friendly helpful staff who obviously worked well as a team. Food as usual in Cote.....very good...... Please open a branch in Haslemere in Surrey. I am sure it would do well.

A very enjoyable experience again. Consistently good food and friendly, efficient service. One small criticism - most French restaurants that I know provide bread as a matter of course and wouldn't think of charging for it. £2.40 Is quite a lot of money to pay for bread, as delicious and copious as it is. I am very fortunate that Cote is just across the square from where I live. It's a great little restaurant.

Greeting was friendly and welcoming, initial service was very good and our orders were taken promptly. Food was fine although the crepe was a little crisp.

A very comfortable environment with a nice view out onto the square. The food was very tasty and well cooked. The staff were very friendly with the food delivered in a timely manner. We will visit again.

Cote's staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. The food was lovely and the general atmosphere is comforting and relaxing. Will definitely visit again very soon.

Food very good. Service a little slower than usual because only two waiting staff were on duty for several covers including a large birthday party. Also, no wine waiter or bar staff so drinks were slow in arriving. This is not a complaint, just an observation for group management to attend to (Do not blame the staff!) The new booking service is rather out of character and below my expectation - rather too much join us, make your friends join us, rather than making Cote retain its special feel of no pressure visiting. It feels like the accountants might have had and won their say, rather than the previous focus on high quality service. Will self service be the next initiative to save money. I do hope not!

Lovely meal in a relaxed atmosphere. Food was excellent and very tasty. Waiting staff very friendly and efficient. We enjoyed free kir royal drinks pre meal as it was my birthday.

excellent food and service if a little overpriced . Very pleasant atmosphere and good menu choices . service was quick and efficient - only niggle was pricing - quite expensive .

As is usual, we were greeted by the friendly and familiar staff. Great service, excellent food and a lovely atmosphere. Cote in Dorchester is one of our favourite restaurants.

Excellent food, always high quality. Choice of house wine is very good. The service always friendly and helpful. Love the special menus as they change regularly.

As always we much enjoyed our meal at Cote. The service was friendly and efficient but not too quick. The food was delicious. The restaurant was quiet which made it more enjoyable because the staff were not rushed.

Not impressed. Ordered the crispy confit duck. Seemed to have been microwaved. No salad or vegetables came with the duck unless order as a side. All the restaurants I have eaten at in France have complimentary bread. Waiter asked if we had finished, cleared our table but never came back with the bill. More than ten minutes sat there trying to pay our bill. A very noisy restaurant, was hoping for a romantic meal for two but could not talk without raising your voice. To sum up, Average food average service.

The waitress forgot most items we asked for, even though the place was empty. The food was also burnt. When we mentioned this, it just went over her head.

Great service, good food , our favourite for a night out in Dorchester. We use Cote often and are always made to feel very welcome.

great food, great service friendly, and my favourite lager Pelforth. well worth a visit, i would recommend it to anyone good location and easy parking.

Excellent food, big portions. Delighted with complimentary bottle of wine. Side door constantly left open; so it was draughty. Difficult to attract waiters attention for payment.

Excellent food and service , nice atmosphere and friendly staff , clean toilets . Great portions for ala carte even the children loved it , fabulous !

Lovely food,had the set menu with the family, quick and friendly service. First visit, very impressed. I will definitely be back soon. Well done cotes 😀

Very much enjoyed duck breast, cooked just right and served with a smile. Crepe to follow delicious, relaxed atmosphere and the Cote de Rhone a perfect accompaniment.
