I booked Cote Brasserie for a birthday lunch in early January. More often than not restaurants are very quiet so soon after Christmas, but this wasn’t the case with Cote, so I was glad I had booked a table. There was a very nice selection of dishes from either a set or prestige set menu, both of which were good value for money. Everything we had was very nice. Service was friendly though could have been more efficient (we had ordered wine which, after a reminder, arrived with the main course). A very enjoyable lunch so we will definitely return.

Good food, excellent service and good value but I still find the 'discretionary' 12.5% service charge an annoying London fashion brought to Edinburgh by the big London chains.

Excellent meal and service. The ambience was exactly as we expected and the food was, as usual, very bistro French and reminded us of our village in Provence

Another return to the consistently good cote. Staff always super attentive and food and drink options varied and of good quality. Only downside this trip was mussels were over cooked and leathery and a bit disappointed this was lent addressed at the bill given familiarity as diners

Fantastic food! I loved the French onion soup and the steak cut like butter. Delicious! I squeezed the apple crumble and ice-cream in and wobbled homer. Great value too!

There are three menus to choose from at lunchtime: a la carte, and two lunch menus (one, called, prestige, consists of selected items from the a la carte menu), so there's a good variety to choose from, and you can make sure you get the value you want. The food is excellent, and the service friendly and efficient.

We often visit Cote when in Edinburgh as we love the menu, and service and ambience are always good. Last night was no exception - the January special of hake with Savoy cabbage and mushrooms was particularly good, and the chocolate fondant was a special treat.

Cotes does not disappoint. Delicious set menus at lunch time and excellent value. Fabulous choice in the evening too. My only complaint is I love the duck with cherries, but it now comes with a veal jus, why?. As I don’t eat meat, I can no longer have this!.

Restaurant manager was very rude and when we went in said he had no tables but then I managed to book online. Still when we left there were so many free tables. I am also 31 weeks pregnant and he left us standing up for quite a long time with no apology or offer of a seat whilst we waited.

Had the 2 course menu for £17.95. Quite expensive but it is in the centre of town. Would go back though as servings were good and tasted nice. I deducted a star for price and being seated too close to people.

The meal could not be faulted, I had been a good few times but had the company of another three people who hadn't been and they thought the same as me. The staff were so attentive and friendly. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others.

Good food. Good atmosphere. Good choices on menu. Cater for different dietary requirements. One negative is the 12.5% tip which for two people is more than standard.

Delicious food and a very interesting (and fairly priced) wine list. My husband is addicted to the anchovy tartiflette, and we also rate the steak tartare and cassoulet very highly. We'll be back!

We had a delicious dinner, salmon rilletes and calamari for starters and tenderloin of pork and Breton chicken. We took up the offer of 2 courses in set menu and a bottle of wine for two for £34. Fantastic value for money and the service as usual was exceptional. Definitely one of my top 3 restaurants in Edinburgh.
