My wife and I love this restaurant. Very casual and with great food. There is always a great choice and very well priced. Staff were very friendly. We took our family who live in Italy for lunch and they thoroughly enjoyed it. If we meet people from out of town we like to take them here.
Always good food and always somewhere I have a lovely gluten free choice. The staff were very nice and the atmosphere was good. I particularly liked the bellypork.
Great value for money, especially early dinner selection. Service a bit slow to start, quite a while to get drinks, 15+ minutes after seating, but picked up after as meal came. Food delicious and nice options to choose.
2nd visit in 2 weeks. Food was delicious and good size portions for early bird menu. Service a little bit slow but understandable due to very busy time of day (6pm). Looking forward to next visit to try something else.
A long lunch today with three friends from the à la carte menu. Great food in classic French style. Friendly service and a pleasant ambience.
Wonderful and friendly staff, excellent menu and terrific food: great wine list 🍷😄👍 for a chain restaurant Côte has a lovely local vibe. Could spend all day - breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The food was very good, the waiting staff were pleasant although we had to ask twice for bread and for coffee. A bit pricey but would return
Very disappointing, had run out of several dishes on menu and that was early evening. Service , despite having lots of staff was terrible. Won't be going back.

This was the second visit to Cote in Edinburgh in addition to visits in Liverpool and York. The food and service has been very good in all venues and the value for money, especially for the lunch and early evening menus is excellent. Would recommend this chain of restaurants.
Excellent service from the waiter - friendly, helpful, interested but not intrusive. Each course was well presented and the quality of the food was impressive. The all-inclusive three course lunch was very reasonable and there was a wide choice. The tables were well spaced out so you could have a good conversation. Highly recommended!
As always the food was excellent with a varied choice. The service was good and not hurried. The staff were extremely pleasant and very attentive. Will definitely be back again.
We were a party of four and all greatly enjoyed our meal. The only niggle was the 12.5% tip automatically added to the bill unless you ask for it not to be; one of our guests was paying for the meal and we found this aspect of the evening quite embarrassing.
A busy restaurant in a good location. Good food at reasonable prices. You may need to book at busy periods. We will definitely return again.
We had a lovely lunch, food really good, looked after extremely well, not our first visit to Cote always a pleasure. Good value and always a splendid menu selection.
This was a return visit today having previously visited early evening. Good food, good service with a good value for money lunch menu. Would definitely recommend.
Terrific meal! Very helpful and attentive staff. Excellent Lunchtime/ early evening offer. Every Côte Brasserie i visit maintain the same high standards on every level.
Good value for money; pleasant, helpful staff and very pleasant environment. One of our group required a gluten-free meal which was catered for very well.
Excellent lunch great value for money and perfect service. Party of six seated at round table which was great for perfect conversation would recommend and will return
Enjoyed the meal rib eye cooked more than expected very nice staff wine and parfait excellent will definitely coming back to the restaurant in the future
We had a very good lunch having chosen the fixed price menu. The service was friendly and efficient and there was a relaxed and welcoming ambience.
Ok, One of the side dishes for a main course was completely forgotten about, waiter apologised but it spoilt the experience and one of the diners left still hungry.
Good food and service. Quantity a bit lacking both on mussels and frites side but tasty nonetheless. 12.5% should not automatically be added. This has been imported from London but does not go down well in Scotland where people prefer to decide for themselves what to tip. The norm is usually 5-10% for good service in any case. This policy alone would prevent me from returning.
Went to restaurant for breakfast. Excellent meal with good variety of choices. Very attentive service from all staff. Will certainly make a return visit and recommend to others.
This was my first time at Cote - very good menu, warm atmosphere, good attentive service and good value for money. I will definitely return.
Great value for money plus good food and wine reasonably price and good. Service excellent and waiter advised us in wine wi apparently good knowledge.
Excellent meal and efficient service, as usual. Was catching up with friends and we were not rushed which was nice. Dined from fixed price menu which had good choices and variety.
Staff very polite, helpful and efficient. We were not rushed in any way and service excellent. Happy to recommend. Like the fact that items on menu are changed frequently.
Meal & staff excellent but I do not like tips added on to the bill.I would always give a tip if service is good but what I think is appropriate.
My poached eggs were undercooked and the manager was very apologetic and got me a new plate of eggs royal and didn't pay for it. Also, we get a free eggs royale on our next visit for brunch. Lovely gesture.
Friendly waiter. Good food. The only problem was that there are not enough light. We will go again in the future. We enjoy a lot the dinner.
Food and service were very good. Only reason that we did not give top marks is because the large room at the back where we were seated was too airy.
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
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.
I had lunch with a friend at Côte in Edinburgh. We enjoyed our meal from the set menu along with a glass of house wine each. We were advised that we would find it less noisy if we took a table in the front section near the entrance but the conversations from the nearby tables were still rather loud.
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!
This was my 3rd visit to Cote.The food was delicious, the service impeccable and the ambience welcoming and lively .I was entertaining American visitors they were very impressed
Good service good food, restaurant was very busy, but no delays food arrived well cooked and hot. Be happy to recommend restaurant and would visit again.
This has a good ambience and professional service. The lunch menu is interesting in its choice. The food is well presented and good to eat.
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.
All round pretty average food and ambiance. Service, bar options and knowledge of wine menu really lacking. Kept waiting all evening no follow up for drinks and closed at 11pm, no welcome or goodbyes. Felt like a tired chain restaurant which was a surprise. Wasn't awful but unlikely to return much better options in the area that want the custom.
Amazing atmosphere, fine service, and incredibly nice food for a reasonable price. Wide variety of wines. I will definitely be back. . . . .
Were kept waiting when we arrived, and given a wobbly table. Staff were nice and food was good, though. They are Coeliac accredited and have an extensive gluten free menu.
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!!
Excellent menu choices at Côte and really enjoyed the Sauvignon blanc wine,definitely going back! My friend and I enjoy the elegant surroundings and personal,relaxed service here

Excellent choice on very good value lunch menu.... portions generous and didn't have some for lovely sounding sweets. Service faultless and wine advice spot on. We will be back soon! 😄
Excellent food and service. The menu was varied enough to suit all tastes. The price was also very good for the quality of food we had.
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.
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!
Appreciated being welcomed to the restaurant by a member of staff although did not realise my table was booked for upstairs. Friendly and efficient staff. Ambience very pleasant. Food was excellent and beautifully presented. All in all an excellent lunch. I would have no hesitation in recommending Cote.
