Côte Harrogate

In anticipation of the lockdown taking place Côte in Harrogate was full, the restaurant had a buzz (very welcome) with very efficient service, friendly and attentive staff and despite the impending restrictions we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The food was excellent and the whole experience was in object lesson of how to create a safe COVID secure environment which belies the need to close such restaurants. We look forward to returning to celebrate the relaxation of restrictions. We wish all the staff well with our thanks.

As always the food and service you provide always exceeds expectations. Thank you for a wonderful lunch.

Food was amazing , service excellent, staff v friendly and helpful. Atmosphere authentic

As always, great food, great service & a lovely atmosphere. Just great!

Last meal at Cote before lockdown (again). Our best wishes to all who have made Cote safe and welcoming in the last months. Hope to see you again soon.

Another lovely meal at Cote. We were one of just three tables occupied and covid protocols were followed to the letter.

A fabulous meal, great staff, we were looking after very well

Covid safe, tastefully decorated, staff were lovely, service was excellent and the food was fabulous

Great food and fantastic service in a relaxed environment ...we'll be back 😁

My guest was sat for 20 mins on a different table - service attentiveness poor - wrong meal brought to me but accepted because had already had a long wait and I was very hungry

Very polite staff filled by a very nice meal, would definitely recommend

Food was Cold and not upto the standard that made me come back after visiting the Brighton branch

Service was bad and it was mostly empty, think the gratuitous tip makes them lazy, should have asked them to take it off with hindsight...good food though

Eat at many core throughout uk all of a high standard as you are

Food is so tasty and service is excellent - the staff are so very friendly - I always bring my visitors here. Love it!!

We have just had a really lovely lunch served by friendly staff in very safe surroundings. Certainly come again.

Food was cold, drinks was late, for the money we paid the portion size was small, service seemed very rushed even though the restaurant was empty when we arrived. It was delicious food and good quality

A very quiet night but the staff were very friendly as usual. James makes a mean fig martini!!

We had a fabulous meal. Lovely ambiance and delicious food. The staff at the Harrogate restaurant are always welcoming, courteous and very professional. We would like to make mention and say a very big thank you. We visit the restaurant at least once a week and will continue to do so whilst we can.

A lovely meal, probably the best we have had here, with excellent service. Also felt safe.

Went to celebrate husband’s birthday. We both had steaks which were cooked to perfection, ie. as requested rare and rare medium. Perfect. Looking forward to my birthday in November!

Really good service and all attention paid to Health and Safety regarding Covid

We enjoyed an excellent meal here on Monday evening. From when we arrived to our leaving the staff were friendly, polite and helpful respecting the covid regulations. The food we ordered was delicious, rillettes for my husband and crottin de chèvre for myself followed by Breton chicken for the husband and mussels for myself. We managed to find room for a crepe with oranges and the chocolate fondant. As a French couple from Brittany we felt like we had taken a trip home!! The hubby very impressed with the meal, he’s a Chef here in England and we were on holiday here in Harrogate! Finally the wine we had chosen perfect for the meal! Thank you and a big thank you to the waitress who looked after us.

Nice friendly warm attentive staff, but would not expect anything different as was not particularly busy. Went as recommended due to compliance with COVID-19 regs, but apart from face masks, nothing else to support that confidence or recommendation, very disappointed with this aspect. Everything else fine and dessert sublime.

Absolutely perfect! Had 3 courses with my fiance, and each course tasted amazing! Would definitely recommend.

Dissapointed no vegan/vegetarian menu Service was good Food we had was lovely

The restaurant had run out of several mains from the menu before 7.00pm including burgers and lamb rump. The special aperitif of the month was also unavailable but we were given an alternative and that was delicious. The food, however, was barely average.

Lovely brunch this morning with excellent service. Would definitely recommend.

Despite the COVID 19 restrictions it was good to go back to our Sat morn brunch routine. Staff excellent and diligent. Food order slightly messed up but didn’t spoil our experience

We visited as we are in Harrogate for a long weekend to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Oh what a treat! We've visited Cote Brasserie before in other locations and once again, you didn't disappoint! The food was exquisite, the atmosphere was lovely and relaxed and it was excellent value for money. Can I say a special thank you to our waiter James please? He was very attentive and made us feel very special and made our night out even more enjoyable.

Fabulous meal and great staff, very professional and friendly . Cosy and relaxing ambience.

Felt Covid safe throughout the meal. Food and service great. Noisy with a group of young women sat near us determined to shout and share their stories with everyone in the restaurant

Cote exceeded expectations tonight. We had been looking forward to Chateaubriand coming back and it was truly delicious. Another meal fabulous meal at côte! Covid rules very much applied and adhered to - excellent.

the brasserie was clean,very welcoming & tables were well spaced giving a feeling of being Covid safe.

A really good steak & pepper sauce that was peppery; recommended

Good to come back to Cote. First time since lockdown. Food and service excellent and you can see that a lot of trouble and staff training has gone in to creating a “safe” & pleasant environment.

Another great meal at Cote Harrogate. Our waiter (Martyne?) was very efficient and was working really hard all evening! Our food was all delicious, piping hot, and arrived at the appropriate times. It was a quiet evening so not the best atmosphere, but in these covid times I felt very safe. Well done!

The food was delicious and the staff friendly and efficient.

Very pleasant atmosphere, attentive service and good food made for a great evening.

Great experience. Staff were so friendly and attentive. Will definitely return. The food was outstanding. I left my umbrella and they had already put it to one side for me before I even rang up. Fine dining at its best. Very Covid aware and tables sensibly distanced. Not like the Italian across the rod with people all gathered together. Fab place fab food fab lighting and atmosphere

Another lovely meal at Cote Harrogate. Lovely food and great service.

The service started off well, the food was good but completely let down by the more than extremely poor service to get the card machine and pay. We had to ask several times and were totally ignored. To be honest I am very upset that we paid the gratuity as it was not earned.

Lovely evening here tonight. Food was excellent and the staff were super friendly and attentive while still following all Covid rules! Will definitely visit again

I really can't find fault. Perfect every time. You may be a chain but it is akin to eating in an independent restaurant. Top rate food. Friendly staff that really care. But. PLEASE PUT THE DUCK BACK ON THE MENU.!!!. Good Breakfasts too. Than You. Christopher R Busby.

Another splendid dinner at Cote Harrogate last night. First time for Mrs B for the crotin starter - the salad was delicious. The prawn gratinee which Mr B had was very garlicky but also delicious. Then Moules Frites and a glass of rose - what a lovely combination. Finally I got a small taste chocolate fondant - next time no starter, but pud! # Covid 19 rules were followed to the letter - felt very safe.

This was our third visit to the restaurant and received the same warm welcome on each occasion. Elegant surroundings and ideal location for any type of celebration. Good selection of food and caters for most dietary requirements.

Service very good and friendly. Staff were well trained with the new hygiene measures and we felt very safe.

Always use this restaurant when in Harrogate. Food is delicious, staff friendly and efficient atmosphere good even in these times of pandemic.

Lovely meal as always and great staff and service!! What's not to like!!

I’m not sure how to rate this. The food was lovely, and arrived in a timely fashion, no problem with that side of the service. I had lamb chops, just two, but they were enough, being a decent chunky size, well cooked, deliciously juicy and tasty, and the warm pea n mint salad a perfect accompaniment; my companion had the belly pork, again very tasty, though we felt the portion size might not be enough for a man-size appetite. The main question mark is about the waitress service, which I really don’t want to highlight, but ... our waitress was a bit too gung-ho efficient, and quite impersonal, leading us to feel a bit pressurised to order everything quickly, including pre-dinner drinks, wine, etc, with no apparent understanding of how we’d like to approach the experience, which then led to a discomfort around the evening. When asked if there might be a Pinot Grigio wine, she was quick to point out that “it’s a French restaurant”. We’re not ALL au fait with wines, my companion being one of them, and that added to the discomfort. We feel our waitress should have been able to offer an equivalent instead of abandoning us while we attempted to make our wine choices, unadvised. Had we had a more engaging waitress, we’d not have noticed that the ambience of the venue was a bit stark, but ... our experience made us notice the negatives a bit more. She was just too super-efficient which made it less comfortable.
