Côte Edinburgh

Amazing atmosphere, fine service, and incredibly nice food for a reasonable price. Wide variety of wines. I will definitely be back. . . . .

Wonderful, a great lunch menu. Lovely friendly staff, & good deals. Central location and consistently good. Great choice of wines. Outdoor seating if the sun is shining.

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

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

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

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.

Great food and service as normal from Cote.very accommodating in adapting a dish to suit my personal tastes.very relaxing atmosphere in a great part of town

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 excellent service. The food was of a very high quality. Value for money was amazing . We were served our food quickly. If you only had an hour for lunch then this is the place to come. You are served quickly if you want to be or take as long as you like. They do not hassle you to move on.

Food good, service a bit rushed and lacking atmosphere in back of restaurant but otherwise a decent meal and staff friendly if a bit keen!

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.

Good food, excellent service. Prefer to be in front part of restaurant or middle. Back lacks atmosphere. Object to 12.5% optional service charge added. Although it is optional still feel it should only be 10% at most. Prefer to give tip as I feel fit even although I think service here is excellent.

It was a very good meal. Varied menu with tasty food. Staff were attentive without being overly so. Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo

Excellent food and service will definitely return. This was a birthday treat for my sister in law and she is looking forward to another visit in the near future.

First visit - very welcoming, friendly staff, so attentive. Food delicious and a great choice from an extensive and varied menu. Will definitely be back

Another good dinner for the early evening menu. Great value and very flavourful food. Service good as always. A bit noisy crowd in but that couldn't be helped

Automatic service charge of 12.5% added to the bill for a table of 4 is a little presumptuous, especially when the service does't necessarily warrant anything higher than the standard 10%.

Lovely fresh French food and fantastic service! Very accommodating and helpful. Reasonable prices. Plenty of tables but lots of atmosphere . Will be back soon.

Excellent choices on today's table d'hote menu- well cooked and delicious! Both my friend and I were well pleased with lunch and will return. Maybe a small chunk of brown bread would have completed the fresh asparagus soup? Maybe a couple of new potatoes could have been served with the sea bream? Just a small touch to enhance the dishes. excellent service too, thank you all.

Experience was not up to par, service average food reasonable but overpriced. Place was busy but tables to close together. Had to reorder drinks as they were forgotten and waiting staff more interested in chatting to each other than attending to customers always a bad sign when the service charge is automatically put on the bill.... why would the staff overreach??

A pleasant lunch. Welcoming, helpful staff - with curious (faux?) French accents. Wondeful food and I like the monthly changing menu. Reasonable prices and portions. Would recommend.

We had a lovely breakfast ,freshly cooked to order .The service was excellent. Great coffee .The 'formule ' offer is really good value . Will be back .

As always, great quality food, at fantastic value, with friendly warm staff for boot. Highly recommended. Happy they have opened in central Edinburgh -thank you

Great foods always , great service waiter and Manager so very pleasant, great atomisphere, this is the thrird time we , the Ladies who lunch have been there. We will be going back.

Had a lovely lunch here today. We had two courses for 10.95. A good selection of dishes and great value for money. Very handy for Fringe shows in the Assembly Rooms.

Good food with wide choice Excellent service was swift and courteous Super white wine Nice ambience upstairs Guests from Glasgow enjoyed the view also We will return

It was an excellent meal. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I will certainly go back again and I would have no hesitation in recommending to other people

Really amazing lunch. Great service, the food choice was really great and everything was cooked perfectly. I am already looking forward to a return visit hopefully not too long in the future.

Three generations of the family had a delicious lunch at Cote Edinburgh today - The menu was really interesting as well as the staples hamburger and steak frites for the boys the rest of us had a really good fish stew, haddock cooked in bacon with lentils and veal. All were delicious and beautifully cooked. The service was first class . A good wine list lovely puddings - faultless and good value . We will certainly return -

It was a Sunday evening so perhaps they can be forgiven that three of the main courses were not available. Given the reduced choice what we had was very well presented and tasted wonderful.

This is a lovely restaurant with good food and service. We had the set menu which was very good value and we all had a very enjoyable evening

Family meal out with 6 adults, great atmosphere and service. All meals were very good quality. The waitress even ok my sons phone away and charged it for him.

Great food service and wine as always! Visited Glasgow cote several times and will now add Edinburgh to my list of favourite eateries in the city

We had an excellent lunch at the Cote Brasserie Frederick Street Edinburgh today. We both chose the duck breast and this was first class as was the service. We would thoroughly recommend this restaurant

We had a lovely lunch. The staff were very friendly and the service was as one would have wished. We shall be back again soon.

Very good. Enjoyable meal, the staff attentive. However the restaurant was very cold until someone asked for the air conditioning to be turned off. I had put my coat over my shoulders, however the staff did not comment....I did not realise the problem was the air conditioning!!!!

Food very good, ambiance less so. Dark chocolate pots with creme fraiche excellent, as always. But the restaurant was very noisy - not a relaxing environment. And I'm not very happy about your 'optional' gratuity of 12.5 being added to the bill.

One avocado/chicken salad with bacon did not contain avocado. Did not like the Roquefort dressing and it was very difficult eating out of the glass bowl

My friend and I enjoyed a breakfast deal. There are lots of choice and the food we had was delicious. We also received a lovely freshly squeezed orange juice and coffees. The staff were very attentive and friendly.

It was our first visit to Côte and my friend & I had a lovely meal. Our waitress couldn't do more for us & was very attentive. I have dined in your Bristol restaurant and wondered whether Edinburgh would have a similar ambience. I think I preferred Bristol from that point of view but it was lunch here instead of dinner whcih makes a difference. Overall very good.

Great food, friendly staff, good atmosphere. The perfect score would have had a wider selection on the fixed menu and been even more competitively priced, but would highly recommend. I had never dined at Cote before, but will definitely do so again.

Our first time in Cote Edinburgh, really enjoyed our meal and wine and the staff were very nice and very attentive. We will definitely go back again in the future.

First time I have visited. Lovely place great food Will definitely be going back again Staff very helpful and very helpful All round great experience

Had breakfast here today so good as ever in the past have had full English scrambled eggs smoked salmon great value and lovingly made today had the french toast it was very good with a fresh fruit salad with it pot of tea all for just £10 including service charges hard to beat that for this quality very clean restaurant and toilets highly recommended

Enjoyable experience, food good. Not Hugh portions, but this appears to be the norm now, in our eat less, health conscious society. The staff were friendly, did not feel rushed, sat as long as we liked, would recommend and I am going back again soon.

This place serves fantastic food and the service is great all in a very pleasant pseudo French cafe environment. I will definitely be back soon!

Have been to this restaurant many times before.... The service was good wit the exception of an overfamiliar host/manager. The food was simply not as good as previous experiences - specifically the main courses... we the chicken and the fish stew. The Muscles were delicious but do not come with any bread! It is one of the few Edinburgh restaurants that add a service charge on!

Food was lovely with a good choice on the menu. The waiter was very helpful and very attentive. Price also reasonable. Would recommend and will certainly be back again.

Great atmosphere, food, drink and service. Unfortunately staff sat our guests at the wrong table out of our sight - I went to look for them after 15 minutes and we were re-united. However, a free glass of wine and coffee each helped ease the pain. We will return!

My yoga/fitness group have been going to Cote in Frederick Street for coffee since it opened in Edinburgh. Since we go regularly, once or twice a week we have got to know the staff who are very attentive. Today was the second time I had been for lunch. My friend and I each had the 2 course lunch for £10.95 plus a glass of wine and coffee which came to just over £20. Both starters were generous portion-wise, innovative in presentation and ingredients. I chose the crab and avocado and my friend chose the tuna. For the main course she selected the fishcake and I took the breaded chicken breast which was more than ample. We each had a small glass of nicely chilled Cabinet Sauvignon. For a budget lunch in the capital the quality and quantity are excellent.
