Food was lovely. Staff amazing. We've been here many times and would recommend it. Marked down slightly as we were originally seated in a very noisy area at the back amongst a large and noisy family pre wedding day get together. They were having a great time but we couldn't hear each other. The staff were amazing and moved us to a table nearer the front which was perfect - thank you!

We booked for Mother's’ Day requesting our favourite table. Arrived to find it booked and ready for us and then followed a delightful lunch, delicious food - excellent and varied choices - and a glass each of kir royale. The staff were charming and efficient and we have to say it was one of the best lunches at Cote, ever. Thank you thank you for a very special meal!

Everything was excellent. Staff were very attentive, the food arrived quickly and was exceptional. I needed a gluten free meal and the staff were really helpful. It was very quiet (possibly due to the fact that we were there mid afternoon) which meant there wasn’t a huge atmosphere in the restaurant.

The Mussels meal was huge and the fries that came along were very tasty. The restaurant was happy to accomodate lactose intolerant request. The fish parmentier was just as good. We enjoyed the food, atmosphere and service. Highly recommended.

Excellent service by our waitress fully deserving of the 12.5% service. Restaurant is well located, nice ambience with good temperature and music. The mussels starter wasn’t as fresh as it could have been and felt some mussels had dried out. Calamari was pleasant and a nice change to be breaded. Seafood linguini was ok couldn’t detract any lobster jus and would have been improves my more sauce, again felt volume made rather than cooked fresh.

Another excellent meal at Côte. Reliable as ever, with a few new and seasonal choices to add to the mix. My friend enjoyed his escalope de veau and I had the familiar duck breast. Complimentary glass of gin and tonic added to the enjoyment.

I have been to Cote many times but on three ocassions in Edinburgh. I much prefer to sit in the front of the restaurant and that is where I was today. It was very pleasant, a seat by the window. The service was excellent, food was good, wine too if not a little pricey. All in all I think Cote is a lovely place to have a meal.

The starter of warm gorgonzola salad was poor, the croutons were stale, after eating one bite, I asked to be replaced. There was no apology, or I will let the chef know, the statement to me was,' would you like another, but it will be exactly the same' so in other words, the chef after receiving a complaint, would still continue to serve! Also when taken away, I ordered a replacement soup, there was no apology and when the soup was brought back, no apology and I had to sit and eat my food alone, whilst my friends had all finished. To add insult to injury, no deduction was made. They also add a 12.5% gratuity automatically, in such an instance I would like to chose, if I pay a gratuity, when there is a problem. When we left there was no real goodbye.

I paid my 2nd visit to a Cote Restaurant in a week, first Shrewsbury then Edinburgh. Mentioned this to our waiter who brought 2 Kir Royales by way of a thank you. Lovely! From the extensive Gluten Free menu, I had the pork belly followed by dark chocolate pot. Husband had the Breton Fish stew followed by Tarte fine aux Pommes. Everything was perfectly cooked and delicious. Together with a decent bottle of Merlot, a coffee and Calvados, the total was a little under £75. Good value and this visit more than reinforced our fondness for this restaurant chain which manages not to feel like a chain.

As always our food was great. On this occassion we were seated upstairs. We felt we were not attended to as much as we normally would be when seated downstairs......my husband even went downstairs to find someone! We did get an apology. We are at cote Edinburgh a lot so hopefully this won't happen again.

Myself and 5 others were at the restaurant Saturday night. Our waiter was excellent, she was very pleasant and helpful....we were quite demanding lol! nothing was too much trouble for her. Food was absolutely amazing. I had crab for starters, then Lamb and finally Crème caramel. all beautifully served and prepared. We also had a complimentary blood orange cocktail which was also amazing. Cant wait to return here. Thank you Helen

Excellent service, food and wine. Noisy table behind us but that didn't spoil our enjoyment of the evening. Very helpful staff. I can thoroughly recommend Cote for value for money.
