We had a lovely brunch at Cote Edinburgh for Mothers' Day. The staff were efficient, courteous and the food was, as always, excellent. My daughter is a vegetarian and says the Cote vegetarian breakfast is the best around. Very good value for money.

Lovely ambience, food was fantastic and staff friendly and attentive. The restaurant experienced a power cut just as we were finishing our meal and we noticed the staff speaking to customers still waiting to dine and offering various solutions. They handled a difficult situation calmly and efficiently. I will definitely return.

Nice friendly service. Really extensive choices on the Menu. Roast pork belly was well cooked. Kids menu was also quite extensive and they were flexible as well. Went for Sunday early evening and the restaurant was not really too busy at that time but anyway a nice experience

Excellent food, service was good, staff very polite. So nice to find a restaurant that knows the meaning of portion control, you can have three very enjoyable courses and not feel uncomfortable and bloated when you have finished. Wish more restaurants were like this. Awarded full points even though one of our party had to wait for his main course due to an error by the trainee waitress which wasn’t a problem to us, but they took off the cost of the coffees and his beer which was a nice unexpected gesture.

Staff very pleasant. We got the table I requested. Food was fine for the price. Complimentary Kirs were a good addition. Unfortunately the mashed potato in one dish was not hot. Overall the experience was fine. However, the service charge is more than most at 12.5%.

Had the 3 course set meal, plenty of choice and the apple crumble was excellent! Just the right portion amount. Only thing I disliked, but personal opinion was the staff kept on lowering the lights until I could barely see, it's a nice atmosphere the first time but they turned it down twice more and it was too dark. However, I will be back and recommending to friends.

Lovely restaurant, busy and cheery. Great menu with multiple choices to suit all. Although busy the staff were attentive and had time for a chat. At under £12. for two courses, thus must be the best deal in town. Highly recommended.

Fantastic restaurant - strongly recommend. Our favourite! Great food, excellent staff, perfect atmosphere, not unduly expensive. Only reason it's not a "6" rating is because there are possibly restaurants in a higher price bracket that produce finer food - but Cote provides the best overall experience for us.

I booked a table for myself and four friends. One friend had recommended Côte having visited for lunch a few weeks ago. We were all very impressed with the service and food. The restaurant was busy so obviously popular. We all chose the two course lunch menu which was excellent value. We will definitely return.

We had an excellent lunch yesterday and the staff were very helpful and friendly. To give back some positive feedback, we thought the breadcrumb batter on the calamaris was too much, the cherry sauce for the duck breast needed a few more cherries to give that extra bite and my husbands steak was cooked to perfection. Overall we really enjoyed our lunch and hope to return and will tell friends of our experience.

Excellent food and service, nice atmosphere, but the experience was spoiled by the 12.5% "optional" Service Charge automatically included on the bill. I am happy to tip - when merited - but do not like being pressured in this way and effectively given little choice as to how and how much to tip.

Very enjoyable meal. Finished desert then waited for staff to come and take our coffee orders. Nobody came it seemed that "service" was over! After several minutes waiting we asked a waiter for the bill. Not the best way to finish lunch.

We have visited a number of Cote Restaurants in London and this was our first visit to Edinburgh's. Meal was very nice and the ambiance was excellent, not too loud and 'clattering' which is something we look for was my wife is partially deaf. Service was excellent, attentive but not rushing. Would highly recommend.
