Côte Manchester

Great service from Vicky, it really was a lovely experience. Loved the Cotes water bottle! The food was excellent delivered by very well trained staff

We enjoyed an excellent meal. The food and service was first class. Our waitress was extremely nice and the atmosphere in the restaurant was buzzing.

Once again we had an excellent pre theatre dinner. The asparagus soup was very good, as was the little gem salad with lardons, egg and walnuts. The lamb parmentier was perfect and the chicken delicious. We really enjoyed the iced berries and warm white chocolate. Yummy! The lagarde wine was excellent. We’ll be back.

Excellent meal. Ordered off the Prestige set menu. Calamari and mussels to start and two rib eye steaks for our main course with beans and creamed spinach. Perfectly cooked steak. I’d highly recommend eating here.

As a coeliac I need to follow a strict gluten free diet & so I felt very well catered for. The food choice was good and very tasty. I would definitely visit again.

Our visit was thoroughly enjoyable. The Food was good and included an aperitif which was gin and gorgeous. Service was good too. We will return. Only downside was young ladies on next table with loud highpitched voices, not fault of restaurant.

Good food, fantastic wine and attentive staff. It does not feel like a chain restaurant.

Excellent quality food very well prepared and served more than matched the standard we expected from Côte

I am a great fan of Cote but it didn’t live up to my previous visits yesterday. I had the fish pie but the sauce was quite watery and the apple crumble looked a bit past its best and did not taste very fresh.

This was my first visit and a Mother's Day treat. We were greeted with a smile and the shown three options for seating. All equally comfortable. The atmosphere was pleasing and the other diners seemed engaged in conversation and relaxed in the rather conservative but pleasing environment. The waiting staff are exceptionally professional, their collective attentive nature was apparent from all four members of staff that waited on us. The seating is designed with sufficient distance to hold a private conversation with being overheard, which lends itself to the relaxed atmosphere and on reflection may possibly explain the reassuring hum of conversation. The roasted tomato soup was divine, and my mum visibly sank into a her seat and closed her eyes at the first taste, describing the croutons as little pillows. My calamari was coated in a crunchy coating that was the colour of almond. A lovely surprise after the pasty insipid efforts served elsewhere to which diners now seem to be accustomed. We both had steak for our main. The lush, creamy, porcini sauce was exquisite. A garnish of green beans and water cress lit the plate. The 'rare' and 'medium to well' beef melted in the mouth. The whole 90 minutes was exquisite. Recommended.

Fantastic food, fantastic atmosphere and outstanding service! Would definitely recommend! The restaurant was extremely welcoming and staff went out of their way to help. Amazing gluten free menu also with a variety of selections that everyone would be happy with.

We booked a lunch table for 8 and pre-ordered the food. Service was very smooth and the food was lovely. Average waiting time between the courses was about 10 minutes, which was perfect and allowed us to be back at the office in time. Everyone had a fab meal. Some of my male colleagues did mentioned that the portions were quite small for them, but as far as I know everyone left without feeling hungry as most of the guys ordered three courses. I've rated the value for money at 5* as the food was perfectly cooked and I was more than satisfied with my two courses.

A lovely place to go and couldn’t fault anything. The staff were attentive and efficient and the food was cooked perfectly and your given plenty of time between courses to relax. Overall it’s somewhere we will definitely book again and we are already talking about visiting the Harrogate one. Best creme brûlée I've had.

Once again a really enjoyable meal- the best lunch value in Manchester. We are a French speaking group and the waitress from Marseille, was truly excellent. Very professional and friendly at the same time. We shall definitely be back for lunch in 6 weeks.

The service was very good and the food was delicious. Great value for money for a pre theatre meal. We will definitely be returning soon.

Excellent food and service. Nice that I was able to bring a birthday cake for my Mum. Staff were great. Only thing that we didn't like was the plain olives. They were very bitter. This was a minor issue thought. Thank you once again. We will be back 😚

Excellent service the food was delicious and very good value for money.The restaurant has a good choice of different menus to suit the occasion including an extensive ala carte menu

Nice food and good customer services but very noise .

Amazing service for my boyfriends birthday. Food was delicious as always. Always try something different each time. Good value for the a la carte menu. Will be back again very soon

We had a lovely first visit, relaxed atmosphere & our food was well presented & delicious! We will be returning soon and would recommend.

I enjoyed the food and will be coming back again

Very nice meal indeed - all four of us enjoyed our food. Three had steaks all cooked as asked and one poulet grille which was lovely. We went at a very busy time and the service was still good, with us being kept fully informed when their was a slight delay waiting for a bread starter. Would recommend this restaurant- it was a good start to our theatre night.

Went out of their way to make a birthday breakfast special lovely staff always enjoy my experience here! Amazing food and great location and staff are always a pleasure!

Great food and service. We had the special early menu lots of choice and good value. Our place of choice for a pretheatre meal. Highly recommend

Lovely Lunch time meal for my sisters special birthday. First time of having creme brûlée it was delicious... french onion soup very nice. will go again. Hopefully soon

Food was well cooked no problems at all - great choice of Menu - service friendly and attentive without being overbearing - quite reasonable prices too -Would definitely recommend to others and come again.

Love this restaurant. Amazing food, always cooked well and very tasty , spotlessly clean and the staff very friendly and attentive . Great value for money

Always come here when I'm visiting Manchester - you can be sure of good food and excellent service in nice surroundings. Also enjoyed a complimentary cocktail which was a nice bonus.

Excellent food and service as always. 3 course menus are excellent value for money! Reasonably priced three course menu. I’ll be back soon!! Great value for money.

We were in the PDR as part of a group of 10. Food fab. Wine fab. Service was good when we could attract the servers attention. But I did have to go upstairs twice to ask to be served. It was a bit stressful as we were going to the theatre and the clock was ticking.

Lovely meal in a great atmosphere .Always have a good time in Cotes. Food is a very high standard and staff very friendly.We are regular diners.

The food was to our pallets, the menu was to our taste, i can not really fault it, just maybe put less sugar in the your lemon tarts thanks for a excellent meal, p.s sorry about my son.

Always a really lovely relaxed atmosphere to meet friends and enjoy a well cooked reasonable priced meal. Great service and well timed courses never had a poor experience.

Circumstances brought us back to Cote Manchester after a less than auspicious last visit. Today’s visit was the polar opposite. It was a busy, vibrant bustling early evening meal for us, served by the delightful and charming Jordan. The food was as we’d become to previously expect, tasty, excellently presented and of a high standard. The veal steak, after an initial hiccup, (which was quickly and pleasantly rectified,) was divine and the flame grilled meat was sumptuous. The crime brûlée’s were mouth-wateringly gorgeous, and rounded off a delightful meal. Our faith had well and truly been restored and we will certainly return.

Enjoyable mother’s day meal for 5 adults and 3 children. Very good all round also very good for gluten free option. Will return for future celebrations.

As usual food and wine was good staff were very helpful and could you open in Alderley Edge or Wilmslow . Pity you closed in Hale!

Everything was great from the moment we arrived till the moment we left. A very pleasant meal and all round dining experience. Excellent staff.... Highly recommended

We always enjoy Cotes!! Love the way the staff are so accommodating of requests. I asked for potatoes instead of fries with my chicken,no problem!! I asked for a latte with half a single shot, again no problem!! We mainly visit Liverpool Cotes but have been to Manchester a few times, York+Edinburgh! Same great service+delicious food every time!!! Was a little disappointed that the herb roasted poussin wasn’t available yesterday as it sounded delicious but I enjoyed my alternative choice. 😊

As usual a lovely meal - exceptional service, and a welcome feel to the restaurant. This is my favourite place to eat in Manchester.

I come to this restaurant regularly and have never been disappointed. The set menus are excellent value for money and very varied. The food is very much what is served in restaurants in France.

Lovely tasteful food. Great service. Comfortable surroundings. Great experience. Will return.

Good food, good value, good service. What more can you ask for?

Excellent choice of food and always cooked to a high standard. The complementary cocktail was very nice and service was of a high standard. Always an excellent visit.

Service was commendable, but food took a bit longer to arrived, especially the appetiser & the soup that we ordered first! Perhaps you need more helpers in Kitchen! Thx

We had the pre theatre meal on. February. It was excellent. The egg benedict was delicately cooked, my husband enjoyed his carrot and butternut squash soup - ideal for a freezing night! I had the chicken pamentier, which was delicious, my husband’s minute steak was just right. For dessert he had creme caramel and I had the piquant iced berries with warm white chocolate sauce. Mmm. Laborde red wine accompanied our meal beautifully. Good service too. We’ll be back.

Food lovely - my experience has been consistently good at Cote Restaurants. Slight mix up with order delivery which might have been partly our fault in terms of communication but ended up having meals delivered at different times. Wine recommendation was spot on. Quite night being a Tuesday following a Bank Holiday so not much atmosphere but the decor etc was good and we had a choice of table.

Set lunch menu, fabulous meal, really good value for money! I will be coming back soon.

We went to Cote Brasserie yesterday with some friends that we met in Manchester. From the beginning, the service was great. A lovely Hungarian waitress, who went to a lot of trouble to make sure our table got everything they needed. The 3 starters were really good and the 4 mains excellent + the desserts of course. We had the gin and tonics as part of the 'deal' on the day and they were very refreshing + a bottle of Merlot. Our waitress made sure, with the help of the manageress that my food didn't contain garlic and onion and cooked a plain 1/2 chicken for me, which was very nice. The atmosphere was just right, busy and full of chatter, but nothing too loud, so nice when you can talk amongst yourselves, especially when you don't see friends very often. We all agreed that the service - including the Hungarian guy who sorted out the desserts and wine for us - was excellent. We would definitely go to Cote in Manchester again

Excellent service and great food. It’s the first name I think of when I want something to eat in Manchester for breakfast as well as lunch or evening meals

Very good food and very good value for money. Attentive waiter. Just a little noisy in the restaurant but this is due to the fact that it is obviously very popular !
