Côte Farnham

Excellent food, good service. Fabulous location. Above all outstanding value for money. An ideal place for alfresco dining in warm weather, given that the restaurant is well situated in a charming pedestrian precinct away from traffic pollution and noise.

Midweek visit to celebrate a family birthday. Lovely food as always but what made it extra special was the service - friendly, attentive and intelligent. Perfect.

I come to Cote Farnham a lot with my partner for romantic dinners, Mother’s day brunches and lunch with friends. Today was a belated mother’s day brunch- for the first time we encountered a minor snag which was promptly dealt with and the manager excelled himself with exceptional generosity when I asked for the bill which he insisted on paying! I love Cote and will continue to highly recommend.

We had a lovely meal and very good service. We loved our table by the open windows. The only thing that marred the occasion was that the background music was far too loud. We couldn't hear ourselves talk. However on telling our waitress, she lowered the sound immediately and we enjoyed the rest of our time immensely.

A great location with a good open air section for those that wish to eat outside The staff are extreamly good , willing and well trined. We had the set lunch menu. The starters were very good - Whitebait and Pate . We both had the same main course of Boef en Croute. This was the worst I have had in a long time and would not recommend in any circumstances. However all was saved with the Creme Caramel , a bit sweet but all the same delicious and moorish if one can cope withe richness - which we can - thoroughly recommend it. The overall experience. I rate a four because of the bad main course.

Very good service, food and considering it was busy being Fathers Day there was no delay.

As usual a great dining experience. Food excellent and fantastic value for money.

We had not visited any Cote restaurants before and were keen to try something new on a rare Bank Holiday we have off together as my partner works shifts. We did our research on choosing somewhere lovely and living near Fleet, there’s plenty of restaurants to choose and we decided on Cote Farnham. Sad to say we were really disappointed. Scallops for my partner’s starter were cold, I had the flat bread with caramelised onion and cheese, which was tasteless. Held high hopes for mains only to receive what was supposed to ribeye but no sign of an ‘eye’ and tasted burnt and was tough as old boots. We told the Manager who took it to the chef and came back said, the chef tried it and agrees it’s burnt and maybe the grill was too high. My mussels were ok, smallest mussels I’ve ever had I think but the sauce was nice. The best thing about it all was the frites and the complimentary bottle of wine for first time bookers. The scallops and steak were taken off the bill without us asking and we think that was absolutely the right thing to do. We did pay the 12.5% service charge as the waiting staff were great. If I had a choice I’d have paid for the frites and that would have been it! Very noisy in the restaurant, just because of low ceiling I think. The table we sat at was a Russian roulette with staff coming in and out of the kitchen with massive trades each time very close to my partner’s head where he felt the need to duck, suggest don’t have a table there.

We had - as always - a wonderful time, enjoying a delicious meal being served by very friendly and helpful staff. It is always a delightful experience to have a meal at Cote in Farnham

Another lovely meal at Cote Farnham. Always aware that a chain restaurant relays on the quality of its chefs and service staff. They are all amazing. Well done.

Lovely evening just spent there great food good atmosphere and very welcoming staff that gave us lots of time Thank you

Service excellent as usual. Meal superb and lovely atmosphere. Used my April voucher drink fab. However I am surprised that I have been to Cote farnham for years and unlike many of your competitors you don't send out birthday vouchers. Russell and team great

Lovely food. Not rushed until the end of the meal when we were politely told that our table was required fir next booking! It would have been nice to have be warned about this earlier!

Good food and freindly service. Background noise a bit above my comfort level

Excellent food and service as always. Cote always accomadtates all of my families allergies with care and attention. Always want to eat here an excellent restaurant. The manager always makes us feel very welcome.

Good atmosphere. It was full on Monday night, incredible. It made going there more pleasurable. Service is excellent. They have Ex Brasserie Blanc staffs and customers. 🤞

We booked for four people and a pushchair we tried to add on another person two days before we were told they were fully booked and we’re try and shuffle around tables to see if they can add on another person we received no follow up call and when we called in the morning to check was told fully booked and they couldn’t add on another person which is fine considering it’s mother’s day however when we arrived there were several free tables for four to six people that were not used thought out the duration this was very disappointing considering we were told there was no extra space

Normally give you guys 5 stars but sadly today the service was very poor and really let it down. Food and drink lovely as always

Fantastic food, atmosphere and smiling caring staff. I adore this restaurant as it always, always delivers first class food. Always very busy at lunchtime, so can be a bit of noise but the standard of food surely makes up, and the experience is delightful.

Not very keen bins and plastic bags being taken though the restaurant while eating our meal . Waverley counsel ,!!! Refuse day don’t think so. Couldn’t make a Irish coffee came out split. O well not bad for a £130

Great value well prepared tasty food set two course menu. pleasant staff serving quietly attentive pleasant surrounding. My husband loves the steak frites good value

I ordered a medium rare steak. When I cut into it I could see it was on the rare side of medium rare. As I progressed it became quite rare. Having eaten 2 thirds of it I decided not to send it back but when the waiter came to take the plate away I pointed to the remaining third and said it was rare rather than medium rare to which he replied rather pointedly 'Oh, it wasn't cooked enough for you'. The implication was that there was nothing wrong with the steak, it just happened not to be to my liking. A more appropriate response would have been to acknowledge that it was undercooked and that he would notify the chef accordingly. I would have been quite happy with that. The meals for my 3 companions were satisfactory. Long wait between main course and dessert - probably at least half an hour - the restaurant was busy. Quite noisy.

Pleasant surroundings, good food, friendly staff. We are regular diners here, on the very rare occasion we have encountered a problem with the food, our meals have either been changed or the amount taken off the bill. Highly recommend Cote.

The restaurant was lovely and warm on a cold night,and the service was lovely too. The food was excellent, very tasty with good portion sizes.It was also very nicely presented. We had a superb meal in very pleasant surroundings. We usually choose from the early evening menu, but this time selected from the main menu and found it very reasonably priced. We are lucky to have this restaurant in Farnham.

Food was lovely especially given that it was a special menu. Bit of a delay tho between courses....more than the usual! Bit chilly in restaunt we were to the right of main door 3 girls kept their coats on!

The restaurant was very busy. So must be a good sign that the service and food are of a very high standard and the group and I was not disappointed. The group was feed and water and the service and more importantly the food was very good.

Good food as usual,, served by attentive staff and excellent value for money on both the everyday menu and the prestigious menu. Restaurant appeared fairly full so obviously Cote are doing something right which encourages the public to dine there. In other words value for money.

Booked table for 1pm Arrived just before 1 and waited nearly 10 mins at the door before anyone approached us. Charged £2 supplement for main course, expected but £2 for chocolate sweet not obvious from menu. Why offer a set menu and then add charges for certain dishes?. If you offer a set menu confine the choice to those dishes you are prepared to offer st that price Frustrating experience and not relaxing.

First visit to this restaurant. Rather dark in most of ground floor but managed to get a table in lighter area. Service very haphazard , worse than most other Cotes I have been to. Had to summon awaited to get an order taken . The restaurant was cold despite outside temperature bring 9C and toilet were too. Set Lunch menu was fine abd the food.

Excellent value and wonderful friendly service. Côte Farnham never fails to impress us. Thank you for making breakfast such an enjoyable experience for the whole family.

A very elegant setting not to formal well thought out seating plan. Food is always excellent and good choice of wine. One of my favourite places to dine.

Fabulous meal. Helpful friendly staff good value. The atmosphere was lovely and the recipes were very inventive. We all enjoyed our evening very much. 25 words !!

Favourite restaurant in Farnham, however this evening was refused a central table with a better view than table offered at 9.00 pm despite two better tables reaming free for the entire evening and pre-booking in advance. Also more than one error of over £14 on the final bill. Staff very pleasant and courteous and quick to correct the error. Despite this will return and attempt to be a little more persistent on preferred table. Ideal location for a warm summer evening on the outside atmospheric terrace.

As usual my wife and I were greeted by friendly polite staff with a smile who were there to please their clientele. The new spring menu with some new dishes was both inspiring and delicious. As Francophiles we especially enjoy the bistro food and atmosphere of Cote brasserie!

Always a fabulous experience at Cote, breakfast is one of our favourite times. The food never disappoints and the service is always top notch. I always recommend this restaurant to my friends and family! :)

As it’s our third visit to your delightful restaurant, you can be assured that it was a lovely experience. We shall return without a shadow of doubt.

Always a lovely time in Farnham Cote, whether it's a quick cup of coffee or a long evening meal with friends. The staff are always very friendly and helpful, and Russell the manager is just brilliant, and always enjoy ourselves even more when he is working!

We had a lovely time meeting up with retired work colleagues! The food was delicious, the staff very attentive and we loved sitting at table 26. We will definitely be back again soon, thank you.

Food wonderful and staff warm, friendly and attentive. The wine list is excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. We will definitely be returning when next in the area!

Met some friends here for breakfast. Food was amazing ( we had the French toast) however my friend ordered orange juice which I assumed would be a staple item for breakfast and they had apparently run out! Other than that a lovely breakfast

The food was fabulous! It was worth the wait to have food that had obviously been freshly cooked. We especially liked the complementary blood orange cocktails and the Breton Fish Stew. Please don't change anything!! The only thing I would love to see on the menu is Pecan Pie as that is my favourite dessert!

We found comfortable seats for three in the restaurant, and took advantage of the Saturday lunchtime specials menu of half a roast chicken, and each of us selected a different dessert to suit our tastes.

Really three and one half. Linguini seafood ordered, Linguini was spaghetti, the mussels were overcooked and looked as though they had been reheated they had shrunk so much, likewise the TWO clams. This is the worst meal I have had at a Cote restaurant and would have expected better.

I have always liked this restaurant but I don't know what has happened the last few times in the last 4/5 months its really gone down hill. I booked a table on sunday for a 30th birthday and couldnt of been a worse experience. We ordered pastries and cooked breakfast. The cooked breakfast arrived before any drinks including any tap water. The orders were wrong and had to be sent back. We had to chase several times for the hot drinks. One orange juice arrived and was spilt over myself and the girl whos birthday it was. This is human error and I totally understand but after that they made no effort to put extra attention onto our table and make sure we have everything we needed. My food had orange juice in along with another plate. My flat white had to be sent back along with a tea cup and it took 10 mins for those to arrive. It was only after eating the hot food that we had to chase again for the juices to be brought to the table and every glass was half full. The last two experiences I have had at Cote in Farnham have been disappointing. When it came to getting the bill they say they took off the service charge because of the split drink however it was still on the bill and the final amount was wrong as we had formula breakfasts but by this point I had given up. It was disappointing this was the experience for a 30th birthday. Again Im not sure what has happened the last few months but the service from this particular branch is questionable

Good breakfast as always at Cote. Service a little slow. But drinks & food came fairly quickly. Food was tasty although scrambled eggs a little overcooked

Great breakfast but they all came out cold, my friend sent his back and it came out cold again and rather than an apology he was told the length of time it had been back in the oven. Real shame as everything else was good and my favourite vegetarian breakfast, just better when hot 😉

As always we has really great evening. Food fantastic, service and staff first class.

Excellent, the only very minor criticism is that the 2 person tables were on the small size. I would recommend the restaurant to my friends and family.

We sat near a door so a bit chilly and noisy. Food was good but a bit slow and they forgot our side dish. My son was very hungry so was a bit upset when his chips arrived after he had eaten his main meal!

Côte in Farnham is the best restaurant in the town great food lovely staff & great service never disappoints wouldn’t go anywhere else. Have recommended to all my friends and they love it too
