Côte Guildford

I would have given 6 stars but we had to wait for our table, When we were seated we enjoyed fantastic food and service backed up by a good ambiance at a very reasonable price for a party of 8, Will certainly recommend this Guildford town center restaurant to my friends.

As we have come to expect, the food was excellent. Sometimes the noise level can be a problem but not this time, there being fewer customers than usual. Service was spot on, including flexibility with the complimentary wine - my wife does't drink chardonnay which was the white on offer.

Great menu and on the whole, fantastic service. We love Cote Guildford, the breakfast menu is particularly fantastic value and consistently delicious. Since it opened in Guildford, it has been one of our favourites and in the 10 years and many visits we’ve had there, we’ve only ever had 1 or 2 very slightly disappointing instances (which have been rectified every time).

Very attentive staff, fantastic food. The air conditioning was very cold, but they did turn it off.

Guildford Cote continues to be our most favourite branch ,which is why we keep returning .this evening was well up to standard with the staff/ service on top form and the food splendid

Our first time at Cote for a birthday breakfast. Lovely food - Eggs Royale and a scrambled egg and smoked salmon plate - and delightful service. A High recommend

Fantastic service from start to finish, little waiting time for meals which was fantastic- waitresses could not do enough for us, occasionally annoying having to buy the sides separate due to the cost of a meal but brilliant quality.

Love cote. Always feels like a special experience. Great atmosphere and nice food . Staff always extremely helpful and polite . . . . .. ..

It was a lovely meal, I liked the specials menu and my colleagues enjoyed their Breton chicken, too The creme caramel was excellent as usual. I did find it a little noisy and struggled to hear my colleague sitting on the end of the booth, but maybe that was just my hearing!

Cote Guildford is our favourite restaurant, it has the best food, service and overall atmosphere. We have been regulars for years and just love it. Thank you for making us feel so welcome with our baby, he had a great time too.

We were welcomed by staff at the door and shown to our table. Service was prompt and the food came on time. The staff continued to be cheerful and efficient and we look forward to another visit to Guildford Cote.

A wonderful welcome from very friendly and extremely efficient staff. The atmosphere is good and the noise levels conducive to easy conversation at the table. As always the food is of a very good standard with sufficient variety to all tastes.

Really enjoyed the complimentary rhubarb and gin cocktails on arriving. The service was prompt and friendly and the atmosphere relaxed. The food was, as usual, first class, enjoyed with a very good bottle of the your blush Sancerre. A very pleasant evening.

High recommend Cote Guildford, one of my very favourite restaurants. Exemplary service, wonderful location, spotlessly clean and a very nice menu. Finally a restaurant where the food isn't over seasoned - in this health conscious age it's impossible to find food that hasn't been over salted, am very happy to see they don't do that here. Have been 3 times and every visit better than the last.

Lovely meal, attentive and fast service. My husband had chicken with a mushroom sauce, I had the chicken, walnut and avocado salad. I wish there had been more avocado in the salad. We both had desserts, chocolate mousse and profiteroles, lovely. Overall very good and busy so other people think so too.

Always a good meal at Côte! Food service was fast and quality great. Seated too close to other diners and a very loud group which impacted overall experience though.

Busy atmosphere, but excellent service and the food was lovely. Considering it was central Guildford, it was also easy to find parking close by. Would definitely visit again when in the area and would recommend to others

Good excellent service. Food & choices interesting and varied. Friendly swift service before theatre visit and at reasonable prices. Would definitely visit again when going to theatre.

Cote is always reliable. The food is excellent quality and well cooked. It has a pleasant atmosphere and the staff are attentive and friendly. What’s not to like?

Lovely brunch, food excellent, and well looked after by our waiter. Made dining with a toddler comfortable.

Food was good quite noisy there with my elderly mother who struggled to hear what I was saying

Really enjoyed my Birthday breakfast here, food was great and our server was so delightful!

Consistently good food served by friendly and efficient staff at a reasonable price in pleasant surroundings. Not an empty table in sight speaks for itself.

It is always a pleasure dining at Cote, food is always superb and the service excellent, I've never had a bad experience,what more could one say.

Fantastic evening, great service and atmosphere. Thank you to the team for making it such a good night

Very good food as always. Service very slow but it was busy . Very pleasant staff, very friendly and kind ti my 84 year old mother.

I hate giving full marks - no one’s perfect.. but I have to admit it was faultless. Greeting was perfect, service excellent, food and drinks lovely and price was fair. Thank you.

Fantastic staff, always welcoming and efficient . Cuisine is always superb. Cote Guildford has become a firm favourite. Service is always great. Orders are completed quickly and efficiently with a friendly ambience. Totally brilliant

We (a party of 4/5) regularly enjoy pre theatre meals on the 2/3 course menu. Normally this is a pleasant unrushed meal but tonight in spite of hard working staff and 75 minutes to eat 2 courses we only had 5 minutes to eat the dessert. Trying to attract staff attention and having to continually watch the time before the curtain went up was not conducive to the relaxed meal that we have become used to in several branches of Bistro Cote - this impacted on the evening. The food was up to usual Cote Bistro standard but the staff although doing their best were clearly stressed and unable to process the orders in good time. If the staff have been cut back to his level then theatre goesrs will return to the more conveiient Theatr Restaurant rather than being rushed or late - that will be a shame! John -Maxwell

Excellent pre theatre meal . All the Staff were welcoming and food served was delicious , served in good time and very reasonably priced . I've eaten in various Côtes before now and never had a bad experience . I particularly like the fact that they also offer an earlier serving time than many other restaurants. When visiting towns for the day or weekend and everything shuts at 5 or 5 :30 but you might want to enjoy a pleasant sit down meal before a show starts at 7 then Côte offers a tasty menu at reasonable prices and in very pleasant surroundings .

Excellent service from our waiter, great food in a really fun atmosphere.

Well up to standard ,guildford is one of the best Cote we have visited , Very busy ,dynamic atmosphere ,great staff and service ,food quality and value for money excellent .we use this branch on a regular basis so hope they maintain the current standard

As per usual the waiting staff were on the ball, timely and very friendly delivering good service. The Formule breakfast meal is a great price and good value

enjoyed but glad we arrived at 9 am as it got very busy due to it being Father's Day. Service started to slip as the morning went on. Would return.

Lovely table and lovely atmosphere. Prawn Gratinee as delish as ever! And gorgeous baked haddock. Service was excellent! Very warm and attentive and weloming. Thanks.

Excellent food with courteous, prompt and friendly service . Crème caramel absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend.

Delicious steak and wine Service gd, friendly staff will go back and try breakfast another day as menu looked great

Guildford is Definitely the best Cote. Excellent food and great service. Accommodating towards my son's special needs too.

Good food and excellent service. As ever a great varied menu and good drinks menu. I ove the monthly specials.Nice ambience and friendly servers. Cosy atmosphere.

Delicious food from a great breakfast selection, a lovely atmosphere and great service from super friendly staff. Very much enjoyed and we will definitely be back soon!

We eat here a lot, Honestly say weve never had a bad meal, keep up your good work

We eat here regularly, Lovely meal fantastic food and great service,we would highly recommend this restaurant and always come here when we come to Guildford for a special occasion.

Fantastic food and even better service - Andre (?) was so friendly and helpful and really made my daughter feel special on her birthday. We have never had a bad experience at Cote and I think it is excellent value for money

All good. Staff members super and particularly welcoming at all times.

I had reserved a table for 7 people several days before, and then changed the number to 5 on the morning of the day of our visit. The restaurant was very busy when we arrived and we were put on a table for four which was quite a squash, which was particularly irritating for me as my seat was in the thoroughfare and so my back was constantly being brushed past by customers and staff, especially as it was en route to the kitchen and toilets. The Manager was extremely apologetic and gave us a complimentary bottle of champagne (it was my daughter's birthday) to compensate for the inconvenience. As a result of the way in which the Manager dealt with the situation I just accepted it rather than make a fuss, but it did spoil our evening. I regretted changing the booking as it worked against us in the end. The food, however, was up to standard as always.

Always super service, never fail on the food as always delicious, good choice of wines. Only a choice of 2 gins. But overall excellent. Thank you. Went to Cote in Dorking hasn’t got a patch on Guildford

I thought my experience was ok. You have to be prepared to get the staff's attention to get served in this restaurant otherwise you can be waiting a very long time.

Cote is consistently excellent. The atmosphere, the food and particularly, the service far outranks any other local restaurant.

We always enjoy Cote, usually for a big family brunch but of course yesterday was Valentine's so we gave it a try. I wouldn't say it was "cosy" but the food was great and the atmosphere happy and upbeat. You can't beat a good meal at Cote in the week.

Restaurant, Brasserie, pleasant atmosphere, attentive friendly staff serving great tasty french food in reasonable portions, and drinks selection, just 4 mins walk to the theatre and shops.
