This was our second visit and as before the restaurant was very busy, the service was excellent could not be better. The menu has something for everyone, we had starters and main courses. All four of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

Good food, good service, good value with the pre-theatre menu. I would definitely go there again. A real feel of a Parisian Brasserie! Going to take our family next time!

Excellent meal would highly recommend. Birthday lunch for 3 including gluten free meal was delicious. Attentive waiting staff but feel the service charge might be acceptable in London but is high for Edinburgh

Very good food. Great restaurant - we have been a number of times now and it never disappoints. The service charge is ridiculous though at 12.5% which does disappoint.

I returned to Cote Brasserie as I had enjoyed meal there fairly recently. My friend and I chose the set 3 course which is great value and each course so tasty - perfectly cooked and presented. The staff were friendly and attentive which added to a pleasant and relaxing experience and I plan to go back again soon.

Got a nice welcome on arrival. Good menu and excellent food (although they had none of 'specials' wine offer so substituted a bottle and reduced meal price) plus good service in an enjoyable atmosphere.

good starter and weekend special half a chicken tasty but a bit cold which was a shame back to serving food on cold plates which was not the case last time as i eat there once a week it seams to depend on the service each time £110 for three for lunch and a bottle of wine and a coke was ok but £12 service charge i wouldnt have tipped that much for average service still overall good will be back next week for breakfast or lunch

Part of our group was late because of traffic and staff were very understanding and helpful. One of our group was just a toddler and again the staff were great. Food was beautiful with free Kir Royales for the adults as it was my birthday. Well done Cote, that was a great dining experience.

Great value breakfast . Staff pleasant and attentive. Only gripe is 12.5% service charge which is ok if bill doesn't include alcoholic drinks but makes a difference if you do.

I am a frequent visitor to Cote. Today I was not dissapointed. Very tasty mushroom crepes and good service. One comet I should mention. I booked on line and wanted a slot at 12.30. The only available times were 12.00 or 12.45. My companion had a train to catch which made the time tricky. In the event we turned up at 12.30 and were served in plenty time

Delightful place, friendly staff and delicious food. We chose the early evening menu which was terrific value at £10.95 for two courses. There was a good choice of starters and mains and the portion size was generous. We will certainly be back.

Standard cote brasserie restaurant in a good position in the New Town. It is quieter than the more tourist-orientated places by the Royal Mile. A good choice.

Good French food and I was very pleased with my Cote Reward of a free bottle of Cotes du Rhone. One slight quibble is the need to pay extra for side dishes.

The food was good but did not necessarily justify the price. The crème brûlée was a bit soggy: quel dommage ! The portions of sauces were meagre.

Food and service great and good value, but if you get a seat at the front of the restaurant, the entrance door from the street is constantly being opened as people come in an go and this makes a very uncomfortable and cold dining experience.

Third time of visiting Cote and was, as usual, very good. The wine we chose hadn't been chilled so we were offered another, slightly pricier, for the same cost - excellent!
