Côte Hampstead

We had a terrible meal and service the Hampstead branch today. So much for taking our mother out for a nice lunch. It started off by being told that they had to check with the chef if we could have a soup that was on the mother’s day menu and a main from the al a carte menu. We had to ask for our drinks that we ordered about three times. When the soup arrived it was cold, when a fresh bowl came to us we had no spoons. Now onto the main course, my meal turned up cold, another meal was wrong, another dish that was for a vegetarian turned up with bacon bits in it and another dish turned up when everyone had nearly finished. This was an extremely stressful awful meal and I will not be returning to this restaurant again. They had the cheek to put service on the bill, as if we would pay for that. Money was taken off but that is not the point. A day out that was meant to be special for my mum turned out to be a nightmare. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Of course my husband and I enjoyed our dinner at Cote Hampstead tonight! We always do, which is very good testimony, as we eat at Cote two to three times a week. With the recent introduction of reviews, I feel I have already written so many that whoever reads it feels ‘ oh no not her again, praising Cote’!! Anyway I am a BIG fan, especially of the Hampstead branch, which has really lovely staff and food! With many thanks Missi xxx

Wonderful building, great staff and delicious food! We come here often.

I have been to at least four of the franchise. This is the best one. The food was surprisingly really very good, as opposed to just pleasant enough. The service was friendly and efficient and the ambience was OK, though a lot of small children made the noise deafening occasionally. I wonder if kids could be on one floor, leaving the other to the child-free? Very good value and most enjoyable.

Great food and excellent value ... a real gen in the heart of Hampstead. Sunday lunch was very busy and I don't know hoe they managed ial so well!

We have been going to this restaurant for a few years now.Never disappointed. Great food, beautiful presentation, attentive and friendly service. Affordable prices. Everything you would want from a French bistro.

Great food, attentive (but not overbearing) staff team and lovely location. We enjoyed a really good dinner here and will definitely go back. Thanks so much to everyone at Côte Hampstead for making our evening a memorable one!

I was my birthday and I had invited 5 people. We were kindly offered a glass of prosecco and I was offered a little chocolate fondant. The food was delicious and the whole experience delightful

Welcoming reception, did not like Rhubarb cocktail! too sweet and too many rose buds? Even if free.

The booking was very easy and the staff were polite and friendly. The quality of the food was good although I was disappointed that there was no horseradish available for my steak. The restaurant did get busy and the attentiveness of the staff declined when the restaurant was busy. This led us to leave before coffers as the atmosphere was very hectic.

Breton fish stew. No mention on the menu of the huge bread-and-butter basket that comes with it. Why not?! It’s easily 50% of the fish and wasted on me as I don’t eat bread = wasted food

Good food at reasonable prices. Nice interior and premises, plenty of space between tables. Service friendly but a little inattentive at times

staff very friendly and welcoming food pretty good as well not rushed

Lovely as always. Faultless service. Excellent food. All Côte restaurants are lovely but Hampstead is my favourite branch. Fab Mother’s Day brunch wonderful menu . 6 stars !!!

As always very good food and service. We brought a friend who had never visited a Côte and he was very impressed.

Service was really fantastic. Food too. But really the service made it a particularly lovely experience. It kind of exemplifies the ignorance of “leavers” who can’t see how much our friends contribute to our well-being. The maitre’d Polish, waiter Portuguese, and a manager whom I guessed was West African. All were fantastic. My father has dementia and it was my step mother’s 70th. I had mentioned this on my booking form and they delivered - beyond my expectations, though admittedly I have few expectations. This all begins at the top, and obviously you’re all doing something right. Thank you.

My family and I go there almost once a week. The experience is, with the odd exception very good. The food is consistently good and the service attentive.

As always the food was very good, the staff were great so we had a lovely relaxed meal. One complaint...every time I use the disabled toilet on the ground floor there is never any toilet paper! Please could you ensure that there are always a few spare rolls. Thank you.

We had a really awful meal . We both had tuna nicoise , my friend asked for it well done and without several components inc olives , hers came with olives and almost raw only seared on the outside , I wanted my tuna medium rare as you usually serve it, it came under cooked and a very thin measly piece of tuna . They took it back to the kitchen and Re delivered it still cut where I had cut it before so not a fresh piece re cooked we had no time to wait so I ate it ,it was awful completely dry and tasteless. I have to say the manager and staff were fantastic, I won’t be back any time soon .

Excellent food and good value with pleasant helpful and accomodating staff

A pleasure. Lovely atmosphere and despite minor "hic ups" delightful staff. Recommend the steak tartare. My favourite of the Cote Brasserie s I have visited

We had a lovely meal at Cote Hampstead for my parents' wedding anniversary. The card and flowers from the team were such a nice touch and completely unexpected. The complimentary Kir Royales went down a treat too! Many thanks to the team for a wonderful evening.

Fantastic menu, very delicious food. Courgette fritters fabulous, great choice of main courses, also lots of lovely vegetarian options! Service good, and affordable prices!

Consistently good food. Also, the cost was reasonable when using the pre 7pm menu. Good service. When we arrived, it was quiet but it became fairly noisy towards the end of the meal.....to be expected on Friday evening!

Lovely dinner. Excellent service. I love the special loyalty offers. I’m never disappointed at Cote. It Wows me every time. Compliments to all the Hampstead stafff Zoe x

Great food (especially March specials) , friendly staff. Highly recommended for birthday celebrations ;) It was a really nice experience, we will definitely come back, soon :)

Food ok, ran out of a couple of items, desert check had been in for 15 minutes before telling us no bananas. Waiter brought wrong wine, put dessert cutlery in the middle of the table, forgot the sparking water, dessert you Ran out of still on the bill. I don’t understand why you have items on your specials that are on your normal menu?? Makes it very confusing for the waiting team. We ordered the special steak frites and delivered the one off the menu which doesn’t come with salad.. The saving grace was the food. Would be good to see the chef playing up the food to be in chef whites and not his external clothes....

Service was a little slow, and we had to ask for things twice. The waitress brought us a bottle of water and forgot to bring the glasses, we had to ask her twice for them! Same thing with the ketchup. It wasn't even busy in there. Initially when we got there the hostess who took us to our table was polite, tentative and kept asking if we needed anything else. Overall food was nice, but a shame that they ran out of the herb chicken as really wanted to try that.

helpful thoughtful service unhurried with dishes tasty exactly as described

Head waitress was very good , young men not so good , we were sat by the bar area and it took them nearly 15 min to make out cocktail and the head waitress still had to alter it by putting the lemon slice in the glass , having said that our meal was as usual very good thank you

great easy going place to meet with nice food and good service

Delicious, good value food served by spectacularly wonderful staff. A great place to go!

The crab bisque was not edible and I had to send it back. The service was shambles until the very nice manager intervened. A Uber car was arranged at no cost to us.

As usual, warm welcome from Reception and v pleasant staff. We got a free Cocktail which was appreciated but did not like the mix! don't think gin goes with sparkling wine! Usually your Cocktails are excellent. Food v good and we had a lovely evening.

The whole experience was excellent. The food was delicious and the staff were fantastic.

As usual, excellent service and outstanding food! In spite of being really busy, lunch was really enjoyable and relaxed.

Food and service were excellent. All the staff were pleasant and smiling. We don’t usually do chain restaurants but this is an exception and couldn’t fault it.

The service is always on point. The staff are very attentive and welcoming

Wonderful atmosphere and great service! The waiters were very welcoming and patient and the food was very well done. Would 100% recommend for everyone to visit!

I had the most excellent service today at Cote Hampstead. From the booking to the final greetings the staff had been so very helpful and courteous - attentive, professional, and hardworking (food runners included!). They made sure the table was cleared up after every course and all the diners were served promptly at the same time. In particular, they were all smiling and approaching me with warm friendliness which I found genuine. High quality professionalism indeed, not so easy to find these days. All of my guests were positively impressed and the whole lunch had been a success and a memorable experience. I could have not made a better choice.

Good food good staff lovely atmosphere highly recommend. Excellent perfect

Good food great staff very quiet due to current problems with coronovirus but staff still friendly and cheerful

The food is always excellent at Cote. We were given a complimentary aperitif each and then enjoyed a three-course meal with wine, followed by coffee. My only "complaint" would be the mediocre Merlot - but my Mum chose it, so maybe it's just not the wine for me. The service is particularly good, with staff who are both good at and enjoy their jobs. Top marks as usual!

Every dinner / lunch / breakfast at Cote is amazing. We had dinner last night then breakfast this morning. The manager here is so lovely it’s always a pleasure to see her. I have to comment on the amazing service from Andre this morning he was superb !!!! Charming, handsome, attentive. He really made the birthday celebration very special. Thank you so very much for another amazing time at Cote in Hampstead. Please pass on my compliments to Andre. He is an asset to Cote in Hampstead. ! Zoe Gregory

Waiter had less experience for sure. Chautebriand was just warm and not very spiced. Breast duck was amazing as always.

Excellent service but the chicken was a bit dry but our lovely waitress more than made up for it.

We had a fab time and celebrated my birthday in style. Staff were lovely, as always.

Having tried the Highgate Brasserie, we tried the Hampstead Brasserie as parking is easier for me - I am slightly disabled - and we found the staff (service was a bit slow) and food were good. Will go again to both venues.

Always great. Your staff, at the Hampstead branch, are lovely, charming, attentive ( without being ‘in your face’) and friendly. The food excellent & well presented and the place never feels over crowded; even when it’s really busy. Thank you
