Fantastic location - cozy inside and gorgeous terrace right on the river. Good, varied breakfast menu - (I can recommend the French toast) and pleasant staff.
We didn’t have a meal but we loved our afternoon tea and were very well looked after, in comfort and with a view of the Thames!
A most enjoyable experience- excellent food served by Mariusz Kuper who was professional, friendly and who has a brilliant memory!
Lovely restaurant with very good food and portion sizes. Excellent service, in fact sometimes a little too full on, although my friend would say that the waitress was just being very attentive. Difference of opinion there. Overall though - Lovely.
Had a really lovely meal. Got a complimentary blood orange martini with our booking which was a brilliant start. The food all tasted and looked amazing and the service was fast and friendly. Really pleased with food and service and will be back again soon. Cote never lets me down.
where we sat just behind us was a big patty who were standing up for drinks first and we felt they were crowding out table and were noisy so we had to move our table away slightly. Two of our meals of duck breast when delivered were cold we sent them back and had to wait for new ones but the big party were served first so two of us had to wait 30mins for new ones which we thendeclined as it was too late
Toilets were not clean, and too cramped. Service was slow. Food was lovely though.
An enjoyable lunch in a cool setting. Super friendly staff who ensured waiting time was kept to a minimum. Great views of Thames. I wish the beer was in 500ml bottles and not 330ml. We will be returning soon.
Thank you we had a lovely time celebrating my daughter’s 21st birthday. Food was yummy! My granddaughter enjoyed the mashed potatoes so much! Thank you for complimentary birthday cake and drinks! Amazing!
Food was not brought out together - very staggered. My food and my neighbours had cooled down considerably. The waiters didn't seem to remember who had ordered what, and the plates were often passed over the table via another diner. The food was fine. However service was very slow - we had a booking for 1.5 hours, but didn't have time for a dessert (just a main)
The environment is amazing, very good service and food! I would definitely recommend. There is a variety of dishes and everyone was happy with his or her order, including a child.
The food overall was ok but not amazing. It lacked flavour. No gravy in children’s sausages and mash and carrots covered in sugar which tainted the whole dish which meant our son barely touched his meal.
Slow, lacklustre service Overpriced, poor quality food First time visit - very disappointed
When I ordered white instead of red wine the waitress absolutely didn’t mind changing - that was great! Otherwise the service was rather slow, slways reactive, never proactive.
Lovely day was my mums birthday and the service was great.
Really lovely food - tasty and well cooked. Small problem with temperature of the soup, but this was amended without fuss and quickly - also received small partial refund for the inconvenience. Service was a little slow to start (no one came to table to take order) but once we'd explained we were going to the theatre the service speeded up. Will certainly return if in the area again.
As always Cote never fails to please - service is always great and the staff are attentive and give great service and the food is always spot on
Been to this restaurant three times now and always enjoy the experience and the fantastic food plus receiving the friendly and professional services from all the staff. Thank you.
The location was excellent, overlooking the river, the food was also very good. However the service was poor and at points our waiter was rude, clearing plates without asking and before people has finished eating. Disappointing.
We were greeted in a very friendly way, shown to our reserved table promptly and served well and with a smile. The food and drinks were excellent. Thank you!
We had such a lovely time and all thanks to your lovely team who made sure our evening was as pleasant as possible. Food and drinks were more than satisfying and I sincerely hope you will be able to send our deepest thanks to Jan and his lovely two Czech colleagues as they made our stay very special and I really hope their hardwork is being appreciated enough Because thanks to their effort, sincere smiles and enthusiasm I’ll make Sure I will keep coming back as often as possible. Kindest Regards, Andrea Dalikova
Cote London Bridge is a favourite of ours and we use it probably monthly usually after a theatre visit. It’s situation by The Thames is nice particularly on a sunny day and the ambience and atmosphere is good.Menu is varied and reasonably priced, service is timely and you never feel rushed. The only issue I have and in fairness this has happened at other Côte restaurants is the moment you order anything that even slightly differs from the exact menu you are in trouble. Our party of 4 all ordered the Rib Eye Steak, with one asking for the steak NOT to be seasoned as she has a dislike bordering on an allergy to pepper, whilst whether the steak is cooked as requested is always questionable with chefs erring on the rare side, the NO seasoning was not optional and we made it clear to our waitress that was the case.. when the mains were served it came out seasoned and had to be sent back leaving the other 3 diners having to wait for it to be reserved and generally putting a downer on the ambience surrounding the meal. I don’t think it’s too much to ask for something like this to be adhered to In fairness Côte were extremely generous in their response and did not charge us for any food, only drink which was impressive and appreciated. Whilst this generosity is nice it would be much more preferable if simple requests to the kitchen are acted upon and this also flows to Steak cooking, if it’s an option to have your meat cooked medium or well done then do it, if the chef only wants to serve it pink, then put that on the menu and we won’t order it, very annoying and it disrupts the meal
The meal was very good, as usual. The staff were very helpful and efficient. It had a very buzzy atmosphere and the experience was very enjoyable.
We were well looked after by a welcoming front of house who actually cleared and prepped our table. We were given a really comfortable nice big booth table. Food was really tasty. Loved the chicken and potato gratin. Really well seasoned. Spring risotto really good. Fish stew was packed with shellfish and monkfish. Enjoyed the complimentary g&t. All in all a great late lunch.
What a lovely restaurant, our waitress was so friendly couldn't do enough for us and the food came out lovely. and really tasty. Definitely recommend and will definitely be going back.
Good food and pleasant service, but very noisy. And disappointing that the set menu doesn't come on until 3.00pm. Odd?
Yummy food and great service. Definitely recommend you go check it out.
The food was nice, however the restaurant seemed very under staffed so as a result the service was poor. Water bottle are too small and heavy so keep needing top ups.
Food ok but clearly a problem in kitchen, waited over 90 mins for our meal. Waiter apologised but not at all what we expected from a company like this so will think twice before booking again. Very noisy.
Excellent evening with good food good wine and great service
A great place to have a family lunch, brilliant food and service and a good location near the river, we will be back - thank you
Our waiter was extremely rude and he’s lucky I didn’t remove the optional tip off the bill. From the moment we arrived he didn’t even break a smile. Instead he was abrupt, rude, and slammed our plates on the table. Shocking behaviour. Now reflecting back on this I wish I had removed the tip!
The two starters ordered (Olives and Bread) were delivered to the table separately with a long delay in between. One main course - Haddock wrapped in bacon and served with wilted spinach and puy lentils was extremely poor. I explained that I was unable to eat lentils and requested that these were replaced by buttered carrots. My husband's meal was presented followed by my meal - one small piece of fish and bacon presented on the plate with no wilted spinach or any other accompaniment. The waiter was called to the table and seemed very reluctant to address any issues. The meal was eventually replaced, following intervention by the Restaurant Manager, but was served after a long delay. My husband's meal was left so we actually consumed our whole meal at separate times. Extremely disappointing
Excellent lunch - cosy and pleasant bustling ambiance. My friend had the tuna nicoise and I had the swordfish. Both were delicious. The service was especially good. Our waitress, Giada, recommended a different bottle of wine to the one we had originally selected and it was perfect.
Yesterday we held a reunion lunch for a party of 26 former university graduates at Cote Brasserie at Hays Galleria. We had a wonderful time and there were many comments on the choice of such a great venue. The menu offered a very wide choice of food and there were lots of comments about how delicious the food was. All the staff were very helpful ensuring everything went smoothly with nothing too much trouble. We were seated upstairs slightly away from other people which worked well for everyone as talking from a large group can be noisy for other diners. Both before and on the day I was very impressed with the customer focus and professionalism of the staff in how they dealt with issues.
Cote Brasserie always deliver and quality of food and value for money and never disappoints. This was our first time at Hays Galleria and the restaurant had a good vibe and the waiting staff were friendly and attentive. Highly recommended
I have been a regular customer of Cote Brasserie for the past 10 years or so; mainly the restaurant in Hampstead where I live but often meet up for dinner with a friend at the restaurant in London Bridge as I did on the 15th at 7pm. I just wanted to drop a note saying what a great service we received from Juan (spelling?) and as usual, the food was very good too. I am truly impressed with how Cote Brasserie manages to consistently provide great service and food. I am very impressed by how the business is managed and wish you all the luck for the future - and you can continue to count me as a customer.
I had a lovely birthday lunch with colleagues. The food was delicious and the service as very efficient. I would definitely come back and, of course recommend Cote Brasserie to my friends. Thank you.
Fabulous, relaxed, attentive, welcoming. The ambience of this restaurant was exceptional. Enjoyed a wonderful meal with family to celebrate two birthdays and we couldn’t thank the staff enough. Made the evening so brilliant. Would definitely recommend this Côte!
Reasonably priced however the steak frites is a huge disappointment: a very very thin steak that i asked to he cooked "blue" (raw).. It came as medium and I guess because it was way too thin to be cooked as I wanted it. My friends were happy with their choice though. Great service.
Amazing FOOD with great mony value! I will recommend to book online before showing, as the Resturant is quite crowded. I’ve enjoyed the dinner, and I will definitely visit again..
I Loved the free Kir royale s and free dessert for my birthday. Had a nice time and the steak was really good Would go again.
The wine, food and service were very good. I have been to Cote Hays Galleria multiple times and will be returning. Atmosphere could be a bit more authentic
Very good food as always at the Cote Brasserie restaurants. But this was even an inch above the others we have been to: Richmond, St. Paul, Ealing, Covent Garden. The food tonight was delicious and the atmosphere and service was fine also. Must go!
Very tasty as always.I have the prestige set menu. If you are looking for a very well priced mid week meal ,this is the place to go!
Our table was comfortable. Service was good and adjusted to our requirements. The food was well cooked and presented and of good quality. Unfortunately the toilet facilities are dank, cramped and in need of refurbishment.
Good service,decent food and fine view. Standard bistro fare properly cooked.Cheerful and attentive service. Reasonably peaceful ambience for a busy part of London. Convenient location
I was overall disappointed with this visit. I booked due to notification of a special 'COMPLIMENTARY RHUBARB MARTINI Enjoy a complimentary Rhubarb Martini for you and your guests when dining from our A La Carte or Special's menu.' Was never offered that. I also booked asking for a river view and was placed at a table by the wall and hardly can see. I brought a colleague form Japan to the restaurant and in general it was quite disappointing.
Lovely evening great food and ambiance. Recommend the March gin and tonic. Great location. Music is unnecessary no one is listening to it and it is just irritating.
Fabulous meal and very well cooked. The service was very good and the waitress was very helpful - they looked after us well as it was the Birthday celebration for one of our party. I will be going there again next month.
