Côte Guildford

No vegan option is a shame. I took my dad here for dinner before the theatre, and he enjoyed his steak. I had the salad with avocado and walnuts but without mozzarella. The waitress was happy to add extra avocado. When the meal came there was no extra avocado. I had salad leaves topped with two mushrooms and two pieces of small avocado (I counted). Extra avocado came on request. Overall this was a very basic salad which was no where near worth the price. Uninteresting, and composed mainly of salad leaves with no interest added. Minimal walnuts. My dads spinach side also didn’t arrive but we were charged for it. Asked for it to be taken off and they took it off along with the service charge. I think terrible practise to penalise waiting staff by taking away tips as clearly an honest mistake, so we paid it anyway as service was excellent. Overall won’t be returning as not an inclusive menu at all and obviously don’t value customers with other dietary needs. One vegan option is standard now and there are plenty of other places that cater for meat eaters and vegans alike. A shame as the atmosphere was good and service couldn’t be faulted.

Good staff and delicious food! Love coming here. We’ll be back.

Attentive and professional staff, great venue and excellent food, Cote seem to be able to provide a first class experience but at a reasonable price. We will return.

Great place to eat. Service, food and wine are always good. Great for lunch or dinner. Lots of choice and always a very reasonably priced set menu available.

Very enjoyable. Always have a good experience at this branch of Cote. The staff are excellent, which always makes all the difference. Mariusz was very good, so big thumbs-up for him 👍

lovely food and great value Problem with salt shaker lid which was disappointing as lid fell off but staff resolved as quickly as possible

As usual food and service was great. Good value too.

Our mother's day lunch was great, the food was lovely and the service first class. Always a good atmospher and very good value. We always enjoy a visit to the Guildford Cotes.

Lovely brunch, well presented, reasonably priced with friendly staff. Key thing is that it is consistently this way. Would heartily recommend it.

Breakfast, Complete every time, excellent value for money as always. Such a friendly welcome. Breakfast not greasy, poached eggs perfectly runny, and the jams are so tasty - make sure you say yes when they are offered!

Our favourite restaurant. The service is always very good and as a coeliac I really appreciate the gluten free selection. I am always confident that I can eat really good food which is still unusual these days. A recent improvement is the inclusion of specials on the gluten free menu. The veal last night was succulent. One minor point - it would be an improvement if the gluten free cheese board had gluten free crackers rather than toast. It would probably be easier for the restaurant as well. Keep up the good work!

The excellent staff made this a fabulous dining experience. The food was delicious and the decor and ambience very pleasant.

We visited Cote for breakfast, fantastic value for money and excellent service. This our first visit for breakfast and certainly won’t be the last

The waiters were being very rude, my mum is not good at English so she ordered an American coffee( meaning Americans) and I overheard the waiter laughing with his fellow colleague about this mistake

As ever a most enjoyable informal Friday evening meal at Cote Guildford. Not the best table in the restaurant but the food was excellent - chosen from the Premium set menu - and friendly and attentive service by Christian. We'll be back.

As usual a visit to Côte is always good value, great food and friendly staff. I have never visited a chain of restaurants that have been more reliable.

Food was fantastic best steak I have had in a long time. Service and staff attentive brilliant evening out would highly recommend cote

Enjoyed our first visit to Cote in Guildford. Easy to find and parking (up to 10 pm) was close by in Council Car Park. We were early, but immediately taken to our table and our friends arrived 10 minutes later. The food was universally very good. Service was prompt and friendly. Only slight critique is that the place is very "buzzy" and noise level from other diners is quite high. Not sure there's any way to fix that. But at least it means they are doing something right to be so busy.

Food was good but the restaurant is too cramped. As a result it is really hard to have a conversation, it was extremely noisy. Service was good apart from the mixup on dessert resulting on them being delayed.

Always great food and friendly service...no change on this visit. Shared a delicious reblochon pissaladiere and saucisson sec to start, then the classics - poulet grille for her and steak frites for him. Can't go wrong! Finished off with praline crepe (him) and tarte fine aux pommes (her) and left very satisfied. Attentive and friendly service, only had to wait a little to get the bill sorted at the end. Recommended.

We had breakfast at the Guildford Cote this morning. We are regular returning visitors to this Cote. The food as always was delicious, substantial and hot. The formule breakfast is good value for money. The service is impeccable, we are always made to feel welcome. Excellent all round. Thank you.

Exceptional as always. Carolina is the most wonderful manageress ever, she has been there forever and it is testament to Cote's culture that someone that brilliant remains. All the staff are fantastic and the food is consistently excellent and good value. A lovely spot in the perfect location.

Un ambiente muy agradable con un servicio inmejorable. El rib eye steak espectacular. Buena carta de vinos. Muy solicitado, conviene reservar, especialmente los fines de semana

We enjoyed an excellent meal, served with friendliness and efficiency. The french onion soup and spinach and mushroom crepes were excellent, although I would have appreciated a greater number of vegetarian options. One small disappointment was the soup not being as hot as it might have been - and my husband's steak frites was served on an almost cold plate. These points may be small, but they mattered to us.

Excellent and efficient service, additional requests accommodated eg alternative vegetable and splitting pudding, particular table reserved. Very happy with our lunchtime experience. Will definitely be coming back.

I always love coming here for the food, ambience, friendly staff and value for money. I've never been disappointed and I look forward to my next visit.

Loved it. Service fab. Food high quality. Great atmosphere. We will definitely come back. Perfect venue to celebrate Mother’s Day with the family. Thank you Cote!

I asked at booking for a corner table but was told on arrival there have none! With a 7 week old baby we were placed in centre of restaurant. A busy spot. Unbeknown to us , this was our first visit to Guildford cote,there were many other seats free where we would have caused less disruption. The scrambled egg was more of an omelette and was not as good as Horsham or haywards heath cotes.

We had such a relaxing experience, the staff were very friendly yet professional at all times.The food arrived within minutes. Great breakfast for our family get together.

Wonderful cooked-from-scratch food you don’t find in any other chain. The staff go out if their way to make being at Cote a good experience. June specials were seasonal and tasted great.

Even we have lost a little bit communication with Côte but All the staffs have tried their very best to sort it out for us .. especially the manager Andrew.... the food was so good and the services were so wonderful .. we enjoyed so much A total of 26 adults and 3 children were in the party that every single one of us love all the staffs .. thank you so much ...

Superb service today-our waiter was great and added to a special night out. The food was at its usual high standard with the early evening menus providing good value. All in all, a lovely family evening out for all three generations.

Amazing food and amazing service. The price is very reasonable for the quality of food and includes service charges. However if you can go at an off peak time because it does get busy and loud due to its popularity.

Always enjoy our visits to Cotes in Guildford wonderful staff great service and food is reliably very good.

Best tasting and best value breakfast in Guildford by a country mile. Service friendly and efficient as always. Worth booking ahead for breakfast especially at weekends as it gets busy around 9:30 - 10:00. New "prestige" menus for lunch and dinner look tempting. Haven't tried them yet but will do so very soon.

I thank you for the help you gave me with my two falls outside, before and after my meal. You were very kind.

Fab meal and wonderful customer service. Beautiful flavours and generous portion sizes. Service was spot on, didn’t feel rushed but still attentive.

Another very tasty meal, with great service and relaxed atmosphere. We loved our steaks and the kids ate up all their food, which isn’t always the case! Always worth the money.

Last evening at Cote, Guildford, was predictably excellent as always! Lovely vibe, terrific staff, and delicious food and wine. What more could one ask for! See you soon!

Safe Hands I booked for a party of six colleges to mark a significant retirement. The booking process was well managed. Service was a balance of politeness efficiency and warmth. The food excellent as expected. Definitely be back for another event. Great reflection on chefs and management! Alex

Very friendly services .. atmosphere good ...would go again 😉

Fantastic and professional service by Cote Guildford today. We had all the time to pick off the menu and the food was just brilliant.

Certainly a favourite in Guildford, great value for money. As always, consistently delicious food, friendly, efficient service and warm, welcoming staff/atmosphere.

Absolutely delicious food as always, service exceptionally courteous and the food arrived promptly. Buzzy atmosphere and extremely good value for money.

Very friendly and helpful waitress. No long wait to order or for food. Breakfast a good quality. No complaints. Nice bright conservatory seating. Good menu choices

Very disappointed, starters were good although expensive, mains came out cold, begrudge having to pay extra for potato, when £14.50 for a duck leg and a bit of cabbage is all you get, grossly overpriced, left hungry

Fabulous lunch today with friends as a extra celebration for my birthday, as always the food was really good as was the service,will be back soon,,

Efficient friendly service with good atmosphere. Third time we've been here (we are not local and live in north London) and it never lets us down. Thoroughly recommended.

Welcoming staff and environment. Menu , food , wine and service up to the usual professional standard. Facilities clean and accessible. Knowledgeable staff about menu etc. We will certainly return. Thank you

Restaurant was very busy but nevertheless service was smooth and slick - we only wanted a quick lunch so just had one course - I had the chicken salad with walnuts which was very tasty and plenty for me.
