Our fourth visit, and another excellent experience. The food and drink was delicious and fairly priced, and, as always, the service was spot on. Pleasant surroundings, too, and the loos are spotless!

I would definitely highly recommend the set lunch menu two friends and I had yesterday. The meal was excellent. I have been several times before but it was the first time for my friends. They were very impressed too. I look forward to going back. Thank you.

A warm welcome from all the staff we encountered, usual lovely food and pleasant atmosphere on a hot evening. So hard to skip our favourites - can't resist the pissaladiere with anchovies!

This is our 5th visit to Cote in Edinburgh and we were very happy with the food we ordered. We were entertaining a friend who lives in the United States and he thought the food was delicious. I had the risotto which was tasty and my husband had the tuna nicoise which he also enjoyed. Our friend had the chicken roti and was surprised by the generous portion. Our only criticism was the slow service which is unusual. The staff were polite and helpful. They may have been short staffed on the Friday evening of our visit. We all thought it was good value for money and would definitely return in future.

6 of us enjoyed our meal at Cote. We all chose the set menu so didn’t benefit from the offer of a free sparkling drink that was the July deal. Food was very good and staff were helpful and friendly.

We had a delicious meal here, with excellent service. All the food was also excellent, particularly the calamari and the pissaladiere with anchovies, and the (free) bottle of rose wine was the perfect accompaniment, especially with the asparagus and goat's cheese risotto. My husband also really enjoyed his hake. Well done - this was our third visit, and possibly the best, although all have been most enjoyable.

We ate at 4.30pm on Saturday and the restaurant was quiet. As usual, the service was welcoming and helpful. The choice on both the June menu and the à la carte was varied so plenty to choose from. Our German friends thought the food was excellent and the atmosphere too. A very enjoyable experience.

Overall it was just ok. Service was quite slow and an adjoining table of same size was served before us although they arrived later. However they were on a more expensive menu. We had bargain menu - asparagus was ok but minimal conte cheese - had to search to find it. Steak was ok but minimal portion of half cooked frites, not particularly hot and not of quality I’ve had there before. I know it’s a cheap menu but a little garnish would have enhanced the presentation of the main. Overall it was underwhelming. There is competition at a similar cost. My friend’s Cafe au lait was more like a weak watery instant coffee - a pity as she is French and was a potential new customer.

My daughter and I had a delicious dinner after work yesterday in the Edinburgh Cote - we had used a voucher sent for a birthday and not only did we enjoy a Kir Royale on arrival - I was given a lovely bunch of flowers on departure - couldn’t have been better - we felt very spoilt on a week night!

Since introducing the enhanced "Prestige Set Menu" there standard set menu has become less satisfying. I would recommend paying the extra for the Prestige menu especially if you do not take a dessert. Of course, this is probably what they intended to happen!
