Côte Edinburgh

Good value brunch offering, with tasty food but very slow to take orders and for food to be delivered. Staff friendly and poached eggs beautifully cooked.

Excellent service throughout; we decided to opt for the 3 courses early afternoon deal, deciding to share our main courses. Everything was fresh and tasty and decent sized portions. We will be back!

Excellent set menu this month, as usual. We both had the cured pork loin with celeriac remoulade, followed by Hake and Poulet Grille, I couldn't fault any of the dishes. Service friendly and efficient.

A comedy of errors starting with unchilled wine! Followed by a leak in the roof, no de-caf coffee. Staff excellent though. Thank you Cote for coping so well. Thank you Cote for the complimentary wine. We shall return😀

Excellent food and service. No complaints, at all. A group of five of us, none of whom were anything other than happy, we enjoyed our lunch at Cote.

Cote is a lovely place to eat, gorgeous food, lovely staff. Have been before and will certainly be back and will recommend to friends and family.

A lovely meal and excellent service. I'd recommend it for the ambience too. Worth visiting again and again. Edinburgh has many great restaurants and this is one you can be sure is consistently good.

We were a party of four and all greatly enjoyed our meal. The only niggle was the 12.5% tip automatically added to the bill unless you ask for it not to be; one of our guests was paying for the meal and we found this aspect of the evening quite embarrassing.

Ok, One of the side dishes for a main course was completely forgotten about, waiter apologised but it spoilt the experience and one of the diners left still hungry.

We had a lovely lunch, food really good, looked after extremely well, not our first visit to Cote always a pleasure. Good value and always a splendid menu selection.

Good food and service. Quantity a bit lacking both on mussels and frites side but tasty nonetheless. 12.5% should not automatically be added. This has been imported from London but does not go down well in Scotland where people prefer to decide for themselves what to tip. The norm is usually 5-10% for good service in any case. This policy alone would prevent me from returning.

Meal & staff excellent but I do not like tips added on to the bill.I would always give a tip if service is good but what I think is appropriate.

This was a return visit today having previously visited early evening. Good food, good service with a good value for money lunch menu. Would definitely recommend.

My poached eggs were undercooked and the manager was very apologetic and got me a new plate of eggs royal and didn't pay for it. Also, we get a free eggs royale on our next visit for brunch. Lovely gesture.

Terrific meal! Very helpful and attentive staff. Excellent Lunchtime/ early evening offer. Every Côte Brasserie i visit maintain the same high standards on every level.

Went to restaurant for breakfast. Excellent meal with good variety of choices. Very attentive service from all staff. Will certainly make a return visit and recommend to others.

A busy restaurant in a good location. Good food at reasonable prices. You may need to book at busy periods. We will definitely return again.

Excellent service from the waiter - friendly, helpful, interested but not intrusive. Each course was well presented and the quality of the food was impressive. The all-inclusive three course lunch was very reasonable and there was a wide choice. The tables were well spaced out so you could have a good conversation. Highly recommended!

Friendly waiter. Good food. The only problem was that there are not enough light. We will go again in the future. We enjoy a lot the dinner.

This was the second visit to Cote in Edinburgh in addition to visits in Liverpool and York. The food and service has been very good in all venues and the value for money, especially for the lunch and early evening menus is excellent. Would recommend this chain of restaurants.

Good value for money; pleasant, helpful staff and very pleasant environment. One of our group required a gluten-free meal which was catered for very well.

As always the food was excellent with a varied choice. The service was good and not hurried. The staff were extremely pleasant and very attentive. Will definitely be back again.

Excellent lunch great value for money and perfect service. Party of six seated at round table which was great for perfect conversation would recommend and will return

Enjoyed the meal rib eye cooked more than expected very nice staff wine and parfait excellent will definitely coming back to the restaurant in the future

Food and service were very good. Only reason that we did not give top marks is because the large room at the back where we were seated was too airy.

This was my first time at Cote - very good menu, warm atmosphere, good attentive service and good value for money. I will definitely return.

Great value for money plus good food and wine reasonably price and good. Service excellent and waiter advised us in wine wi apparently good knowledge.

We had a very good lunch having chosen the fixed price menu. The service was friendly and efficient and there was a relaxed and welcoming ambience.

Excellent meal and efficient service, as usual. Was catching up with friends and we were not rushed which was nice. Dined from fixed price menu which had good choices and variety.

Staff very polite, helpful and efficient. We were not rushed in any way and service excellent. Happy to recommend. Like the fact that items on menu are changed frequently.

Appreciated being welcomed to the restaurant by a member of staff although did not realise my table was booked for upstairs. Friendly and efficient staff. Ambience very pleasant. Food was excellent and beautifully presented. All in all an excellent lunch. I would have no hesitation in recommending Cote.

Food was average I think. The venue was fine and the staff good and attentive. I had hoped for better food and so I was a bit disappointed

Really enjoyed this grown up venue with good food and service- value for money- will certainly be back. Confit of duck a triumph- felt as if I could be in France!

The ambience, food and service were, as expected, excellent - and exceptional value for money. My only criticism is that the restaurant was pretty cold so we felt we had to eat quickly to prevent our delicious food going cold. I hadn't appreciated there was an upstairs dining area so had a quick look and it was Baltic up there with windows open at each end so perhaps the draft was seeping downstairs. For me, this does not make for comfortable dining.

The food was very good and well presented. The atmosphere was pleasing and comfortable and the service was attentive, prompt and polite. I object, however, to an automatic addition to the bill of 12 1/2% even if the restaurant says in the small print it's removable. It gives no incentive to the staff to maintain a good service and so encourage the customer to tip accordingly.

Disappointed that there were no mussels available. Vegetarian dishes (cous cous) was really not very good at all. Pepapers and courgettes were practically raw, aubergine was over-salted, cous cous lacredit flavour and was cold. However I was not charged for my meal. Service was good. Sitting near airports conditioning meant it was rather cold. It blew the candle on our table out!

Nice venue, well located in a nice part of town. Three course set menu was exceptional at £13.95. Loved my bacon and egg salad and my steak frites in particular, and eating gluten free was easy.

Food was nice. The main course however was brought out while we were still drinking our aperitifs and eating our starters. A lack of basic restaurant procedure it seems. Not the end of the world but annoying. Also the 12.5% optional service charge which is added to the bill so that you may opt to have it removed is irksome. The server lacked any charm or grace which may have merited a tip so to pay 12.5% for decidedly mediocre service is definitely overcharging. All in all, I won't rush to go back.

This has a good ambience and professional service. The lunch menu is interesting in its choice. The food is well presented and good to eat.

Very nice meal as usual from Cote..staff very attentive and chatty..my only small gripe was the entrance door has a very loud bang when left to shut on its own..small I know but but annoying.

Were kept waiting when we arrived, and given a wobbly table. Staff were nice and food was good, though. They are Coeliac accredited and have an extensive gluten free menu.

Excellent food and service. The menu was varied enough to suit all tastes. The price was also very good for the quality of food we had.

Service was terrible! Our main course arrived before our starter which then took half an hour to arrive.We were given bread and olives which neither of us wanted. The wine was the wrong measure and was warm. When we came to pay the girl did not know about the Cote reward scheme. Service was already included which i did not want to pay but just to leave quickly we paid!!

Excellent choice on very good value lunch menu.... portions generous and didn't have some for lovely sounding sweets. Service faultless and wine advice spot on. We will be back soon! 😄

I eat in Cote regularly bacause the choice of food; its quality and its cost are excellent. I find that staff and service are also very sound.

This was the second time I'd been to this restaurant. The service, food and ambience in the restaurant were as good as the first time Thank you for a great evening

We had a really lovely lunch, the food and presentation were good and the staff lovely, not too intrusive but there. A go again place!

Overall we had a very pleasant evening with good service and excellent food. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Not sure that I like the idea of adding service to the bill in advance.

My husband and I had a wonderful time at this restaurant. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. We did the early bird 3 course dinner-great deal!

Central location in city centre. Excellent food and service. Good for groups of friends to meet and enjoy good food and drink at reasonable prices.
