Excellent service and food as usual at this restaurant. Friendly and efficient staff. Ideal for a visit to Saddlers Wells. We always eat here before the performance.
always love the experience at Cote islington, manager is lovely and all the people working there are also very nice , all round ... perfect experience Cathy
We were a group of 8, including one vegetarian and one with a lactose and gluten intolerance. The choices were wide and varied and we all enjoyed our meals. Though busy, the restaurant was quiet and comfortable and the staff pleasant and helpful without being intrusive.
We had an excellent meal with the benefit of a free bottle of wine as we ate a la carte. The quality of the food was very good and the service was fast and friendly. An all-round good experience.
Soup we wanted was off but replacement was fine Fish cakes and chicken good but of two steaks one was very chewy and inedible Cost was reimbursed without asking for it Early evening menu was quite limited and we could not stay for dessert but waiters very pleasant
Excellent food. Cozy atmosphere. Good service. Little gem tucked away from busy Upper Street. Feels like being in France. For a again it is a reliably high standard.
We are fans of Cote but the quality of the food was not at the normal high standard. The Cote burger was burned and the gratin potatoes were also overdone. We drew these to the attention of the most management and were given complimentary sweets and coffees. Service was professional and all other meals were good.
Great place to eat when visiting Sadler’s Wells theatre. Quality food and lots of menu options available
Fantastic service the restaurant was spotless and a absolutely awesome breakfast which filled us all up for the rest of the day Thank you for a great morning
Ate lunch just after Christmas. The usual good value meal from set menu and good service. Some tables rather close together so look and choose carefully!
we go to this Cote regularly. The staff are always lovely, tho occasionally they get it wrong with the food! As usual, a relaxing experience.
lovely food great customer service all a pleasure going there for food and always value for money will be back very soon for new years day
Excellent service, a special glass of kir for us both on the birthday. Starters were good and beef bourguignon excellent - chicken supreme slightly less than supreme - desserts excellent
We were a party of 3 and enjoyed the early evening reasonably priced 2 course...which is good value. Service very good, surroundings welcoming. Would recommend ......by the time we left at 7 the place was buzzing.
My favourite of all the Cote restaurants I think. Always good food and very pleasant attentive staff. Tonight was no exception. Very nice relaxed atmosphere .
As always you really can’t fault Côte, I was with 6 friends and ordered the set menu which again was great - staff are always friendly and service was fab
Service was excellent and the food up to its usual high standard. I am a regular at various branches and you maintain a consistently very good standard.
Very good food and service.A lovely friendly bistro type restaurant with a good selection of food on the menu and excellent staff serving,who are friendly but not over familiar.
Cosy atmosphere with very French feel. Delicious food and friendly service. There was a lively lunchtime buzz. This was a good place to eat prior to our visit to Sadlers Wells.
Good food and reasonable prices, the offer of a free bottle of wine was also a welcome bonus. Staff are friendly and helpful too. Belly pork always very yummy.
As always, a great experience at this place. Friendly staff, convivial armosphere, good food, good value. It's often busy for very good reasons. Highly Recommended
We love this place. The food is always lovely and the service good. Set menu is good value too. The puddings are gorgeous especially the coupe noir
As always a warm welcome from staff - good choice on the set menu - polite and non-intrusive service. Whenever we are in London this is our restaurant of choice on the day we arrive.
Great evening with the Team! The food was divine and we all had a great time together. Perfect way to kick start the festive season!
I went there with my girlfriend for a last minut lunch, and as always the service was great and the food was good. This is by far my favourite place to eat in Islington
Great food, excellent service. The atmosphere is great as well. Overall, very good dining experience. We’ll be back and would definitely recommend it for special occasions and regular dinners alike!
It was quiet Monday evening. We eat from the evening special menu; food was good quality and nicely cooked; with good service and I would go again.
Warm welcome, good management, food below usual standards at this branch, dry tasteless halibut and my guest had same problem with his meal, but fun venue
Very friendly staff and efficient service. Options of menus in the early evening was useful and the house red wine is nice and light when eating fish.
its a place that I go to frequently; they are very accommodating, and very helpful. the price of food is very good value for money, if you like French food then that is the place to go.
As usual, the service and food were excellent, and my special request was catered for perfectly. We all enjoyed the special Christmas menu, which included three courses for £22.50. Lovely atmosphere and great food.
The Cote at Islington Green is one of my favourite restaurants. The service is always spot on, friendly and attentive and the food is unbelievably good value. Highly recommended.
Great service, very attentive staff. Simple, but delicious breakfast at a reasonable price in a very warm, cosy setting. Would definitely revisit and recommend to others.
Both service and food very good. Thevset meal is good value for money and at least two wines under £20.00. Thevrestaurantbwas busy but the staff coped well with that,
No side plates when requested with our bread and olives. Apart from that, the food, the service, was exceptional. I will certainly be going back.
As always ,the food and service was very good you can always depend on cote to give you a fantastic experence and you leaving ,thinking "what good value that was".
Myself, husband, sister and two friends enjoyed our meal lunch time today and the Manager and staff were very friendly, courteous and obliging. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Our food was delicious and we were glad that everything went well . Wil definitely return again. Margaret Egan
Overall a pleasant experience. Fillet steak excellent but chicken a little tired and dry. Service very good. Very comfortable. Good location Prices are reasonable. Could say too many menues to choose from, why not just have a simple straightforward menu.
This is a great, very welcoming restaurant, which I regularly eat at. The special daily menus are always varied and good value, and the wine selection is excellent.
The food was not very nice. I had been here before however, this time round I was not very satisfied with the food. Thanks Emma
Very attentive and friendly service. Good food selection very well presented. Extremely good value for money. Nice location and Good atmosphere, will definitely go again.
We were given a quiet, pleasant position in the restaurant. The food was excellent and the service friendly. All in all a very satisfactory meal and we will go again to Cote Islington.
This was my first time at the branch in Islington and as always the food was well prepared and very good. The platter was tasty and varied and the duck breast well cooked and tasty. My wife had the half Breton chicken, which is a favourite and it was as tasty as ever.
Côte Islington has been an often visited favourite of mine. I have brought various friends & family for lunches & dinner. Once again, delicious food, attentive service & a relaxed atmosphere all contributed to a lovely small birthday dinner.
Excellent food, charming staff and thank goodness no background music. We had a really good time. The site is very convenient and we were all able to get there easily
Good food, good value and good service! We will continue to visit Cote Islington regularly in the future. It is our restaurant of choice in the area for serving quality dishes at fair prices.
The whole experience was as usual, very good. Highly recommended for food, service and value for money. I wish we had a branch of Cote in Wnchmore Hill N21.
Very busy but service standards remained high. Excellent food and value. Always friendly and cheerful staff. The location is good at Islington green just off upper street
Loved the free bottle of wine and food was more delicious than I had remembered! Friendly service too but shame about the shortage of side plates!
New November set menu was delicious and is such good value, staff at this branch were absolutely lovely, as always! A regular for myself and a group of friends, we always enjoy our evenings here...
