My friend and I shared some olives and a garlic bread starter. We both had the steak frites. Shared a bottle of Côte de Rhone. Food and drink were delicious. Service was great also. Not overly attentive but we felt very taken care of. Excellent value for money too!

We celebrated my birthday recently at Cote in Frederick Street, Edinburgh. Just 4 of us, but an excellent evening was had by all. The main meal ( three different steaks and one Seafood dish) were really delicious, as were the starters and desserts (with one Cheese course). We really rely on Cote for special occasions as the staff are so knowledgeable and couldn't be more friendly. Just what you want on a birthday night out ! Thank you

Good service. Good food all enjoyed although the couscous with the chicken had a slightly acidic flavour. The chicken was lovely though. Great price and wine well priced and tasted really good and was the cheapest on the menu.

Friendly and attentive service. Excellent food. House white wine inexpensive, but not great. We paid an extra £2 for a Muscadet sur lie - a lot better. Overall a very enjoyable lunch.

Food was excellent, BUT... Waiter seemed to be constantly in a hurry to clear our Starter and then Main plates even if, in two occasions, one of our party had not finished eating! MOST annoying! £9.50 "OPTIONAL" gratuity was simply added to the bill, so NO OPTION WAS PROVIDED For the above two reasons we will not be back!

Particularly for anyone coeliac, this Cote has an extensive gluten free menu which avoids all the usual questions when ordering. The food was really good, reasonably priced and the place had a nice atmosphere with a friendly service.

Food was delicious. Service was "relaxed"! Problem came with the bill due to ambiguous note on what turned out to be a la cartel menu (it doesn't say so) and we were not given the lunchtime special deal menu up front. However management altered bill in the end to the 2-course price.

Excellent food and service. On principle I object to an in-built service charge on the bill. We often tip more but only where that is left blank for our discretionary extra payment. Take it away and likely you'll get direct and more generous cash tips to the hard working front line staff.

A warm welcome on arrival followed by attentive, pleasant and unhurried service. The set lunch offered good choices and the wine list was reasonably priced. The food was well presented, cooked and enjoyable, though more care required in removing the bones from the mackerel rillettes. Overall an enjoyable and good value lunch. I would have not hesitate in returning.

The food was a reasonable standard. The duck pate starter with toasted soda bread looked very bland (colourless) a little bit of greenery would have helped, even a sprig of parsley! It tasted okay though. Presentation not very great.

One of my friends is gluten intolerant and the choices she had were great. Just to be able to have chips was a treat for her. She had a great choice. She was given a GI menu and also she was able to eat most things of the early evening menu as well. We all had a lovely meal everything was really good. The reason for the 5 and not a 6 ....we waited for ages to have our order taken and we had to ask and still waited. But it was well worth the wait and once the order had been taken the service was excellent so its really a 5 and 3/4s.

Bit of confusion with the waitress about our starters, but that was sorted, and we ended up having a very nice lunch. Shared butternut squash risotto with friend, which was delicious, and steak and frites as main. Bottle of red and came away very repleat
