Côte Edinburgh

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!

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.

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.

We came to Cote for lunch today to celebrate my husband, Bruce's birthday. (mine is later this month on 29th July) It was a most enjoyable, relaxed experience and as always in the past the food was excellent. You really 'tick all the boxes' in every aspect for us. Thank you

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.

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.

Amazing atmosphere, fine service, and incredibly nice food for a reasonable price. Wide variety of wines. I will definitely be back. . . . .

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.

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!!

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!

Food good, service a bit rushed and lacking atmosphere in back of restaurant but otherwise a decent meal and staff friendly if a bit keen!

Automatic service charge of 12.5% added to the bill for a table of 4 is a little presumptuous, especially when the service does't necessarily warrant anything higher than the standard 10%.

Excellent choices on today's table d'hote menu- well cooked and delicious! Both my friend and I were well pleased with lunch and will return. Maybe a small chunk of brown bread would have completed the fresh asparagus soup? Maybe a couple of new potatoes could have been served with the sea bream? Just a small touch to enhance the dishes. excellent service too, thank you all.

Another good dinner for the early evening menu. Great value and very flavourful food. Service good as always. A bit noisy crowd in but that couldn't be helped

It was a Sunday evening so perhaps they can be forgiven that three of the main courses were not available. Given the reduced choice what we had was very well presented and tasted wonderful.

It was a very good meal. Varied menu with tasty food. Staff were attentive without being overly so. Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo

Excellent food and service will definitely return. This was a birthday treat for my sister in law and she is looking forward to another visit in the near future.

Lovely fresh French food and fantastic service! Very accommodating and helpful. Reasonable prices. Plenty of tables but lots of atmosphere . Will be back soon.

Experience was not up to par, service average food reasonable but overpriced. Place was busy but tables to close together. Had to reorder drinks as they were forgotten and waiting staff more interested in chatting to each other than attending to customers always a bad sign when the service charge is automatically put on the bill.... why would the staff overreach??

We had a lovely breakfast ,freshly cooked to order .The service was excellent. Great coffee .The 'formule ' offer is really good value . Will be back .

This is a lovely restaurant with good food and service. We had the set menu which was very good value and we all had a very enjoyable evening

Great food service and wine as always! Visited Glasgow cote several times and will now add Edinburgh to my list of favourite eateries in the city

Good food, excellent service. Prefer to be in front part of restaurant or middle. Back lacks atmosphere. Object to 12.5% optional service charge added. Although it is optional still feel it should only be 10% at most. Prefer to give tip as I feel fit even although I think service here is excellent.

First visit - very welcoming, friendly staff, so attentive. Food delicious and a great choice from an extensive and varied menu. Will definitely be back

A pleasant lunch. Welcoming, helpful staff - with curious (faux?) French accents. Wondeful food and I like the monthly changing menu. Reasonable prices and portions. Would recommend.

Great foods always , great service waiter and Manager so very pleasant, great atomisphere, this is the thrird time we , the Ladies who lunch have been there. We will be going back.

As always, great quality food, at fantastic value, with friendly warm staff for boot. Highly recommended. Happy they have opened in central Edinburgh -thank you

Had a lovely lunch here today. We had two courses for 10.95. A good selection of dishes and great value for money. Very handy for Fringe shows in the Assembly Rooms.

Good food with wide choice Excellent service was swift and courteous Super white wine Nice ambience upstairs Guests from Glasgow enjoyed the view also We will return

It was an excellent meal. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I will certainly go back again and I would have no hesitation in recommending to other people

Really amazing lunch. Great service, the food choice was really great and everything was cooked perfectly. I am already looking forward to a return visit hopefully not too long in the future.

Three generations of the family had a delicious lunch at Cote Edinburgh today - The menu was really interesting as well as the staples hamburger and steak frites for the boys the rest of us had a really good fish stew, haddock cooked in bacon with lentils and veal. All were delicious and beautifully cooked. The service was first class . A good wine list lovely puddings - faultless and good value . We will certainly return -

Family meal out with 6 adults, great atmosphere and service. All meals were very good quality. The waitress even ok my sons phone away and charged it for him.

We had an excellent lunch at the Cote Brasserie Frederick Street Edinburgh today. We both chose the duck breast and this was first class as was the service. We would thoroughly recommend this restaurant

Have been to this restaurant many times before.... The service was good wit the exception of an overfamiliar host/manager. The food was simply not as good as previous experiences - specifically the main courses... we the chicken and the fish stew. The Muscles were delicious but do not come with any bread! It is one of the few Edinburgh restaurants that add a service charge on!

Great food, friendly staff, good atmosphere. The perfect score would have had a wider selection on the fixed menu and been even more competitively priced, but would highly recommend. I had never dined at Cote before, but will definitely do so again.

Really good value for money lunch and good choice. Only downside is the service charge added to bill. Did not notice until after we had paid or we would have asked for it to be removed and we would have added our own gratuity.

Food was lovely with a good choice on the menu. The waiter was very helpful and very attentive. Price also reasonable. Would recommend and will certainly be back again.

As usual at any Cote perfect service superb food The hake was sublime, peach crumble tasty Special thanks to Sergio for his attention to detail

We were seated at the round table in the centre of the rear room and found (don't know if it was the height of the ceiling) it very noisy. The service was very good and all our needs were catered for efficiently. The food was excellent but I must put in an extra word for the wonderful starters.

We had a lovely 3 course lunch from the lunch menu and a delicious bottle of wine. At £12.50 for 3 courses they are perfect size for lunch and well presented.Friendly helpful staff our visit was a delight.

Had breakfast here today so good as ever in the past have had full English scrambled eggs smoked salmon great value and lovingly made today had the french toast it was very good with a fresh fruit salad with it pot of tea all for just £10 including service charges hard to beat that for this quality very clean restaurant and toilets highly recommended

This place serves fantastic food and the service is great all in a very pleasant pseudo French cafe environment. I will definitely be back soon!

Enjoyable experience, food good. Not Hugh portions, but this appears to be the norm now, in our eat less, health conscious society. The staff were friendly, did not feel rushed, sat as long as we liked, would recommend and I am going back again soon.

Very good. Enjoyable meal, the staff attentive. However the restaurant was very cold until someone asked for the air conditioning to be turned off. I had put my coat over my shoulders, however the staff did not comment....I did not realise the problem was the air conditioning!!!!

Fab restaurant, great food and service. My friend and I enjoy the steak with a lovely bottle of the house dry white. Staff where very attentive. And friendly

We were meeting up with old friends who are very discerning diners. They,and we , loved the food, the place ,the whole experience. Our waiter could not have been more helpful. Full marks

My husband, daughter and I visited Côte Brasserie, Edinburgh for the first time and were extremely impressed by the staff. The service was first class as was the food and the atmosphere. I would not hesitate to go back again and would highly recommend the restaurant to family and friends.

Our first time in Cote Edinburgh, really enjoyed our meal and wine and the staff were very nice and very attentive. We will definitely go back again in the future.

My yoga/fitness group have been going to Cote in Frederick Street for coffee since it opened in Edinburgh. Since we go regularly, once or twice a week we have got to know the staff who are very attentive. Today was the second time I had been for lunch. My friend and I each had the 2 course lunch for £10.95 plus a glass of wine and coffee which came to just over £20. Both starters were generous portion-wise, innovative in presentation and ingredients. I chose the crab and avocado and my friend chose the tuna. For the main course she selected the fishcake and I took the breaded chicken breast which was more than ample. We each had a small glass of nicely chilled Cabinet Sauvignon. For a budget lunch in the capital the quality and quantity are excellent.
