Côte Edinburgh

We had a nice lunch and service was very good. However, too many items on the lunch menu were not available. Also the wine we asked for not available. It shouldn't happen or at least replace the missing items don't just reduce the choices.

Had a nice family meal. It was fairly busy which made a nice atmosphere. Seemed pretty organised, nice surroundings and choice of food. A couple of things were off the menu which was a shame but quickly found an alternative.

Efficient, friendly staff and excellent food made for a very enjoyable lunch. This opinion was shared with all six in our group, and we will definitely be back

Most enjoyable - ambience, food , service all excellent - most enjoyable, particularly the complimentary kir royale to celebrate my birthday, a great idea to make customers feel valued.

we had a very enjoyable and very good lunch. My 4 friends had not been before and were very impressed with the food and service. The only downside was I had phoned the day before to see if we could have our table in the rear part of the restaurant and was told that was where our table was and we were at a round table. On arriving at the restaurant we were shown to a normal table in the right area as another party had obviously been given the round table. This did not really spoil our get together but I had been told on the phone that I was allocated a round table.

A good meal, BUT they ignored our request for a table in the front room and we waited 30 minutes for our dessert though they said it would only be 10 minutes. They had a problem with making fresh creme caramel. On a culinary note, the bream was lovely but slightly overpowered by the flageolet beans and the garlic. Previous experiences very good and we will go back again.

We enjoyed great food at a very good price (early bird menu). The chocolate moose was amazing and the quality of the red wine was very good. Thank you

Really good food, we had the steak frites which were excellent, a really tasty lunch. The service was great, the staff were friendly and efficient.

Once again a real treat at Edinburgh Cote,tasty food & excellent service.love the back room as so airy & light.4 more converts to the restaurant

Went along for lunch and a catch up with a friend. Lovely food, good choice on al a carte, weekend specials and summer menu, very friendly and professional staff. The French onion soup was wonderfully cheesy and tasty - try it.

Good food, good value and excellent service. What more can you ask for? This was our sixth visit to various Cote restaurants and our third to Edinburgh, will certainly not be our last.

Good choice of varied dishes on menu. All the dishes were very good and the cost was reasonable for the quality. The service was also good and the waitress friendly.

Perfect Sunday Lunch Lovely food as always Delightful waiting staff-not too fussy but very friendly Never disappointed here. Ambience is friendly excellent location and reasonably priced

Service was terrible, food was even worse. The girl who took our order wandered around the small restaurant looking for whoever ordered them. The accompaniments to my starter (a disgusting fish soup) arrived AFTER I'd finished the soup. Our main courses arrived while we were only half way through out starters, but they were delivered to the table next to us, who promptly pointed out that they weren't what they'd ordered. They were taken away and presumably kept warm for us. The Beef Bourguignon was chewy and very bland. The Fish Parmentier was a sloppy mess in a dish - the worst ever attempt at a fish pie I'd ever seen - it was NOTHING like a true Parmentier. Over priced, small portions, bad service,.... just bad overall. We will never go back. Please Note - CHECK YOUR BILL. They add a discretionary 12.5% to EVERY BILL for service - that you need to ASK to get taken off if you're not happy about it.

Excellent value for money.Great atmosphere nice staff. Not rushed out after 1.30hrs which makes a change. Good selection on set menu and very good food

Beautiful table at the window for 4. Lovely polite and helpful waiters with a sense of humour. Tasty food. Terrine delicious. Men enjoyed the calamari, very fresh and tender. Onion soup from the a la carte very good also. Mains were 3 sea bass and one swordfish. All very good. Lovely crisp white napkins and good quality cutlery. Friends said it the best Cote they had experienced. It was better than the one in their home town. Very good experience and our friends enjoyed it. Very relaxing. So pleased as I booked it and it's always a worry when wishing it to be good when meeting friends for dinner.

Excellent food and lovely attentive staff. Our mains were a little bit slow out of the kitchen which is my only reason for 5 score.

One of the Best Restaurant Chains I know - I have rarely disliked anything I have eaten there. Service is efficient but not overbearing, and the Menu changes add to the interest of the meal. Excellent Value and two new converts made on this occasion

Excellent menu choices. I love the linguine with seafood and just the right amount of chilli. The atmosphere is relaxed, décor elegant. My friends loved their fist visit to Cote Edinburgh- you will too!

Really good meal at Edinburgh Cote Brasserie. Very good service. The meal choices were good quality and the wine was reasonably priced. We enjoyed it immensely.

Food and service excellent but the "optional" 12.5% does spoil things a wee bit. Is this a case of London chains applying London standards to Edinburgh?

Excellent,food,wine,and service,would highly recomend to family and friends,easily accessable in the centre of Edi,nburgh.This was my fourth visit with in four months.I will return very soon.

This was my third visit and didn't disappoint. Fabulous confit duck leg and you can never go wrong with the steak frites. Good wholesome French brasserie food at a good price!

The service was great and our food arrived very quickly. A very pleasant experience overall. We were also lucky enough to get a free bottle of wine.

Food as good as always & staff very helpful. They were very accomodating when my booking increased by another 2 people. Definitely recommend it especially for GF options.

Lovely food, very friendly staff. First time visiting and will be back. Great choice on the menu, it was hard to make a choice. We were the last to leave!

Variety and quality of food is great. I do not think 12.5% service charge should be added as a matter of practice - a maximum of 10% is more acceptable

Service was great, very prompt, efficient, and friendly. Food was very nice. Pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere given we were there on a Monday night, the place was nicely busy.

Great meal again at Cote. Nice friendly waiting staff although coffee got "lost" in changeover of waiting staff. Last minute booking but stiff offered a good table in the back.

Always good food at a reasonable price. On this occasion we were seated in the front of the restaurant. The back is better, away from the front door but that's a minor moan. Recommend!

Couldn't fault it. They offer an early evening menu between 5-7pm which was great value and all 3 of us who dined enjoyed each course.

great lunch time menu 3 courses 12.95 whitebait starter excellent so tasty chicken followed then lovely hot apple crumble glass of wine a very good lunch all arrived hot and note long to wait and today plates were hot unlike other times i dont like hot food served on cold plates

Very good first experience of Cote in Edinburgh Friendly and helpful staff. Good menu selections. We were upstairs with no other diners present but this didn't matter on this occasion as we were a party of 6. Will be back.

Very good meal and staff. Had three courses and the March special which was swordfish was very tasty. The service was excellent. Not sure about the 12.5% service charge a bit steep for Edinburgh. More the sort of thing in London!

Had a great lunch with a friend and food was lovely.Staff are very friendly and helpful.I go to Cote Brasserrie for breakfast lunch and dinner

Consistently great food and good service, all at a great price. It may be part of a chain but you would never know. I really can't rate this place highly enough.

Super venue,excellent food and nice friendly staff. Will return. First came across Cote in Lincoln and were impressed with service and food there so they obviously have a good recruiting policy.

The food wasn't good. The Calamari was overdone with too much crispy coating. The char- grilled chicken wasn't char-grilled and only just cooked, the flavour of the chicken was nasty. However, the restaurant had a nice atmosphere and the staff were great.

Very good evening - pleasant, helpful staff and manager, Mel. Food excellent with almost too many choices - but we managed anyway. Surroundings good and facilities clean.

Good premises and ambience. Service was attentive without being intrusive. Food was generally well prepared although fish was undercooked for my taste. Would definitely return.

We love the place. Food is very good, staff are efficient and the price is just fine. First came across Cote in Canterbury and loved it there. We were delighted when we the manager told us there was one in Edinburgh.

We had nothing to complain about. Every mouthful of food was a delight and the red wine was perfect. The menu is very good covering all eating types. Service was very good, in all it was a memorable evening. We will be returning and soon.

Tasty meal. Friendly staff. No pressure to leave the table for other customers. Friend and I could sit and chat as long as we wanted.

Great experience. Spent lovely afternoon in great company at reasonable prices. Food great and good value as was the wine, especially as we were city centre. Staff very relaxed although maybe wee bit hard to catch their eye. Service was prompt though. Will definetly be there again soon.

Nice menu and wine list, and very good value. Staff pleasant and helpful. Two small niggles - we had to send our starter (fish soup) back as it was lukewarm, the croutons with it were a bit soggy; lemon tart was delicious but the pastry was a bit soggy. A recurring problem with the Edinburgh restaurant is the main door, it opens directly into the restaurant area, letting in a cold blast of Edinburgh weather each time customers come in or go out.

Excellent value for lunch menu .like the monthly New choices Good choices and very varied menu Although busy didn't feel pressure to leave table Friendly helpful staff

Authentic French food and good service. Set price lunch menu until early evening. Great value for a city centre restaurant. Not my first visit and it won't be the last.

Great service from knowledgeable staff. The food quality excellent with great prices with fantastic surroundings. Overall a fabulous lunch and I will be back again

A truly excellent lunch. Superb menu with lots of delicious choices. Excellent service. Good value. Could find no fault. A great and memorable experience. Cannot recommend more highly.

like the way that the food is presented to you by two waiters one with a large round tray holding all the food or the table whilst the second person hands it to you. No waiting all served at the same time.
