Côte Highgate

It was lovely to be back in Cote in Highgate. The service, ambience and food were really good. And, since it was a Wednesday, there was £20 off the bill.

A truly great evening experience with excellent food and service. I reserved a table in a little garden area which enabled us be less worried about catching the virus and enjoy the evening. We were very satisfied. Thank you.

It was very good. The bread came out late but the kitchen was super busy. Good to see you well supported.

First meal out since lock down and it was incredible as always. Food, service and atmosphere fabulous. Felt really safe and the extra safety measures in place made you feel relaxed.

Incredible to be able to go back to Cote, thank you for reopening. Food, staff and service as good as ever, if not better.

Excellent dinner just as we would want it. Service was great and the food service hit the mark. We’ll be back again.

Always lovely and reassuring going back to Cote in Highgate. Food is good and well priced.

Very good food, excellent staff, a pleasure to visit! I will happily return

Relaxed atmosphere .Friendly staff and good service.Dessert menu needs some change as nothing had changed in a long time

Lovely ambience, lovely staff, great food and overall a fantastic afternoon :)

Perfect as always just very quiet as people are still no doubt nervous.

Great atmosphere and place for a nice birthday meal with good food

We had a very Pleasant lunch in shade of garden excellent service Delicious food

Our waitress was so lovely, she was very welcoming and kept checking on us

Lovely staff. Reliable food. Delighted to have you back. 5 stars.

It must be difficult for the staff to communicate using the visits however it was great to see the Highgate team again. Food was great!!!

Lovely garden setting, great service and good food with a Boris discount! Happy customer:)

Excellent food and service on this occasion. Thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Such lovely "staff", had a great meal - too much wine! - all good.

It was great to be back again. Food and service were good and we shall be back again on 21 August. Looking forward to Muswell Hill being re-opened, this is our regular restaurant and hope Anita is still there.

Who needs Eurostar? France is here, in N6! Merci bien! Au retour!

Great to be back, the team did a fantastic job of making us feel both welcome and safe

The staff were very welcoming, attentive & organised; we were offered a beautiful table in the garden which I had requested if possible in my booking. The food & service was excellent & being our first dining out treat with our son since before lockdown, we really appreciated & enjoyed our evening hugely. This particular branch of Côte has always been a family favourite & never disappoints!

Slight problem with my main course .... But it was replaced without any problems

Food, as per usual, lovely; service, also as per usual very friendly!

Wonderful lunch, first time I’d be there with young children, nothing was too much trouble. Recommend

Low key welcome, sound service, excellent food and an attractive price. Altogether a very satisfactory experienec which I would repeat without hesitation. (It seems that Cote rates the number of words more important than their import. A strange lack of perception, but the food is really good so who cares . Guy Morton-Smith

We had the premium menu for 4 people. The service was excellent but the noise unbearable due to a large party of about 14. We HAD TO MOVE TO DOWNSTAIRS SO WE COULD TALK. chicken again The food was better than the night before which we spent at Cote St Martins lane. There is was terrible. The main course of half a chicken was dry and overcooked. It came with a pat of butter in a bowl and french fries. All were very poor. The starter at highgate a crottin was dressed with apples and an acidic dressing. Not very good. The main of steak, which was £2.50 extra was average.

Our meal for three was excellent. The staff were all friendly and helpful. We have no complaints . It was a very pleasant two hours or so

It was very good.staff were friendly and the food was good.

The food was over cooked, served semi burnt, which made the chicken for both meals, of the chicken meals, dry and tasteless. I have to say this was unusual, because the food is normally cooked to perfection, which is the reason why I eat there, as I am fussy about quality, freshness etc..

The quality of the food and service coupled with pleasant surroundings and value for money was good and in keeping with our expectations for Cote Brasserie. The only drawback was with the ventilation and temperature of the Highgate branch. We were seated on the slightly raised mezzanine floor. It was a cold evening and the heating system did not operate so as to provide a mean temperature that was comfortable. Most of the time there were drafts of hot air and drafts of cold air and neither mingled. The overall feeling was cold and there was felt by all the diners within our area. We knew this because the adjoining gentleman (not old) had to resort to putting his thick half-coat back on and made a comment and other diners kept on their jackets and jumpers. It could have been that we were close to the service door and perhaps windows were open in the cooking area which disrupted the heating system. Thought I should draw this to your attention.

Perfect food and service. Will definitely be back. There was no waiting time and the restaurant is arranged so the tables are well spaced out.

I had the Pork Belly which was very nice. My daughter had the Monkfish and she didn't feel the flavours worked well at all so she was disappointed. We ordered mussels to start - it would be nice if you could bring some complementary bread with that to soak up the sauce. The free drinks were lovely. Many thanks.

We used to be regular customers at Camden for many years . We thought we would try Highgate but we’re very disappointed with the whole experience. The staff were pleasant but over stretched and the food was lacking in any flavour. My onion soup was good but my wife’s pea soup was tasteless, my main of goujons was average and my wife’s haddock was not only bland but floating in a tasteless olive oil . Overall disappointing.

I had a great lunch at cote Highgate today . Claudia our waitress really looked after us from the get go. The food and service was just amazing .

I enjoyed my meal and the service is just above and beyond wonderful I've had breakfast here too and again lovely Really pretty relaxing restaurant and outdoor are is very inviting too.

It was a very nice meal and the staff were very helpful As it was my friend s birthday they gave her a cake with a candle which was very thoughtful

Lovely food atmosphere and service terrific As usual that’s why we keep coming

The staff really made you feel important. They could not do enough for us . Very attentive to our needs The food was excellent and well cooked

The food was fantastic as always, the general ambiance in the restaurant was great, however the waitress made us feel like we were an inconvenience as she never smiled and tried to remove our dishes and drinks before we were finished. I appreciate that we had a late booking arriving after theatre, but I have never felt so rushed during a meal. We were celebrating my wife’s birthday with the family and I didn’t want to say anything to the staff about the service as I didn’t want to spoil our evening. But the overall mood of the dinner was rather spoilt every time the waiting staff approached with questions about whether we were finished, handing us our bill without being asked, or clearing the table whilst we were still eating. It was a real shame as generally we have a very good experience at your Highgate branch. Robert Hopkins.

HI I love Cote in Highgate The food is good/The staff are excellent and I am going again on Sunday 21/04 Looking forward to it See you soon Thank you Mary O'Donoghue

We arrived for our early dinner prior to attending theatre int he WestEnd and was given a table by the very large picture window. So the dinner was lighted by wonderful natural light. The food was excellent. One of our choices was unavailable and we were given an upgraded choice. Most delicious.

Great meal, it was a friends 60th birthday made very special by cote. Attentive staff, delicious food. Will be back very soon.

Service quite good staff attentive and polite. The food was not good at all. My husband had mussels to start with and spat the first one out as he said it was undercooked and tasted horrible. He was offered a replacement dish so chose the calamaries which were a little greasy. His chicken for the main course was dry, tough and very un-French! My husband didn't want to make a fuss and our friend, who was paying, enjoyed his starter of the chicken liver terrine but found his fish rather pedestrian. I just had the spinach and mushroom pancakes which were ok but please, use baking dishes which aren't chipped and damaged. Chocolate mousse was too sweet. The staff did give us the glass of wine, dessert and coffee as an apology for the mussels. We have had many over the years at various branches of Cote but this was really not up to standard at all. We were embarrassed at having taken our American friend there. I am sorry to say that I will not eat at Cote in the near future.

The manager of this branch of Cote and his team make every visit a great pleasure. It has become our favourite neighbourhood restaurant. The food is always dependably good, as is the service. Tonight we went to celebrate my partner's 50th birthday and they even let us bring our own cake!

We particularly enjoyed our experience at Highgate Cote Brasserie last night. The quality of food and presentation was spot on. As usual the service was commendable and friendly.

Lovely food and friendly staff. My only complaint is that the Saucisson Sec slices are paper thin and sometimes you only get half slices. Really petty! Other branches are more generous! Other than this, which they should really address, the food is always delicious!

Busy, well-lit, exudes success while maintaining at table level the importance that you as an individual matter, and that your experience - food,ambience and value for money are all important. As ever, a quality evening out. Keep it up!

Friendly & efficient staff. Good value wine. Nice cocktails. Enjoyable food, Excellent ambiance! We are regulars at this lovely restaurant and always enjoy the experience. Well done Highgate Cote Brasserie!
