Côte Manchester

Got to the restaurant earlier than planned and allowance was made for this which was good. Our server was quite patronising though and made reference to the fact they had 200 booked in for lunch.... hmmm, the place was only half full while we were there and I hadn't complained, I was just looking round aimlessly while I waited for our food to arrive!! I just thought, "I don't care if it's 2 or 200 you've got in, you treat EVERYONE equal and with respect" but I smiled and bit my tongue. This was, after all, my son's choice for a birthday treat! The food was of a quite good standard and ok portion sizes but I HATE the fact they add an "optional" 12.5% tip to the bill.... No offence to anyone but how is automatically adding a tip to the bill "optional"?? I tip when I've had good service... I once gave a 93% tip for a meal because the service was THAT good and I thought the waitress DESERVED something nice. A tip that is automatically added is not likely to be contested so waiting staff become sloppy and patronising. Won't be eating there again...

We went to Cote in Manchester after going to the one in Newcastle and being impressed. We were equally impressed with the Manchester one. It was ideal for a pre-theatre meal.The menu, which is changed monthly,was interesting and the food delicious and very good quality and value. The staff were really friendly and competent. We'll definitely use this restaurant (and chain ) again.

Good ambience, welcome, service, food. Only problem was special dish significantly different from when ordered at Oxford Cote. Manager swapped it for another choice and deducted from bill. Dealt with very efficiently and with friendly approach. Will return. Don’t like 12.5% service, but you can choose an alternative.

Great value for money. Early bird menu, good choice, good portion size. Wind very nice too. Staff attitude first class. I would highly recommend. Enjoy

Lovely atmosphere, excellent service & delicious food well presented and in manageable portions. Am always happy to arrange meeting friends at Cote or other social occasions.

Food was excellent and came promptly which was great as we were off to see a show at the opera house. However feel like the descriptions on the menu could be better as what I ordered was not what I was expecting but it was still delish!

Restaurant inviting, the waiter who served us was friendly and very attentive. The food was delicious and a great size for breakfast. Worth the money!

Nice meal, good atmosphere. Service charge shouldn’t be added to the bill, should be at customer discretion. Overall a highly enjoyable experience, would go again.

We chose the Pre-theatre menu & there was a good choice for all courses. Tasty food, well presented & no problems catering for my partner's gluten intolerance as there was a wide choice for him too. Great service & atmosphere.

Very good service from all the staff, especially Carlos, thank you. We chose the theatre menu which was really good - just what we needed! 3rd time we have eaten here will definitely be back again and have recommended to friends and family.

Great food, excellent service and a lovely atmosphere. A most enjoyable evening. Would highly recommend this restaurant for a visit. Equally as good as there branch in Soho.

Lovely atmosphere Attentive and knowledgeable service Reasonable price Very good quality food We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and were pleasantly surprised We will definately visit again

It was good service good food and reasonably priced. Busy on Black Friday but didnt have to wait long I cant make up to twenty five words, so rhubarb,rhubarb, rhubarb.

Great food, great price, great service. Really accessible for gluten free too! I would recommend for anyone, the lunch was such good quality and I'd happy go back.

The restaurant was rather busy as lunchtime progressed. My meal was only just warm and the plates were cold. When we received the bill there was a bottle of wine included which we had not had. It was a little disappointing but did not overshadow an overdue catch up with friends.

We dine here regularly and are never disappointed. The lunch and pre theatre fixed price menu offers really good value for money with excellent choice of quality food.

This was our third visit to Cote Manchester and as always our meal was very enjoyable and the service excellent. We will be returning again

Always good place to meet up with friends, nice atmosphere, food and not rushed Food with French ambience and set menus very good value for money

Had a fantastic night at Cote in Manchester for my son's 21st birthday. Staff were so friendly and lovely. Food was delicious. Recommend the creme brulee and Breton chicken. Gave my son a chocolate birthday cake with candle and glass of bubbly. All staff came and sang happy birthday to him. There were 7 of us and all of us had a lovely evening. Thank you Cote Manchester.

We went on a Wednesday lunch time having booked on line at midnight the previous evening. Outstanding quick service in pleasant environment. Keenly priced 3-course lunch menu. Food very pleasant and good value.

Great food, ambience & service. My favourite local restaurant in Manchester.

Fantastic service and dinner was wonderful, we were running late, we got lost driving in city centre 😳 but phoned to inform and they were great and told us not to worry, we had a lovely evening, thank you

We enjoyed excellent food from the very good value three course menu. The service was prompt and attentive considering the restaurant was so busy. No complaints and heavily recommended!

Lovely meal, great ambience. Enjoyable evening. Definitely return again soon. Good to escape the weather and the mayhem of the Christmas markets, enjoyable as they are good to have cotes to enjoy a good meal.

Lovely food and the service was very good and quick with it being a saturday. Ideal menu for lunchtime 2 courses for £11.50. Good value for money.

Friendly reception. Prompt service. Excellent food especially the boudin noir. Wines reasonably priced. Overall good value and food that is exceptionally good for a chain restaurant

Great food at amazing prices. Good wine list and very reasonably priced. Excellent knowledgeable and friendly staff. Very enjoyable overall experience. Will be visiting again very soon.

ALL GOOD SERVICE Starter very nice but rather a small portion Main was up to its usual standard No sweet but the coffee up to its usual standard

Consistently good menu and brilliant staff. Very well informed on the food choices. I'm a wheelchair user and am always very well ,looked after on arrival.

Good menu choices. Excellent value for money. We were a group of 6 and all the food looked and tasted good. wine was also delicious. Staff friendly and efficient but didn’t feel rushed. Will definitely go back

Meal was lovely and very attentative customer service will be looking forwards to coming back soon, huge praise to the staff for looking after us

Excellent food and service provided by Carlos from Valencia.Perfect way to start the evening before gig st MEN arena.good value for money in pleasant surroundings

I have visited Côte restaurant in Manchester on several occasions in the past. The food and service and overall ambiance is always of a high consistent standard

Very welcoming, and attentive through out. Service was quick even though was at very busy time 6.45 friday evening. Food great and very good value.The best.x

An absolute gem! Perfect from the start. My wife needs gluten free options due to coeliacs and they accommodated everything perfectly including ensuring a trained and informed member of staff took the order and correctly served the meal. Our waiter was calm, interested and informative and the food was utterly superb. Well done guys. We had an amazing evening with you and will be back again soon! X

Fantastic food , with great service, would definitely recommend ! i had mackerel and beetroot starter , steak and frites and apple crumble dessert . I cannot fault a thing !

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal, all good, fougasse gorgeous!! service good without being intrusive. Would visit again and try something different from the menu. Good to have a couple of menus to choose from so could suit every budget.

I love the food and we enjoyed the complimentary Kir Royals for my birthday treat,I had to wait for the fries so they gave us two coffees which was nice the staff are lovely

Good service from friendly staff. Quality of food and presentation also good. One minus, the stingy tiny scoop of ice cream with my apple crumble.

Nice ambience, delicious food, reasonable prices , great location, a lovely place to meet with friends , this will have to become a regular venue .

Excellent food and the service was great as usual. The pre-theatre menu is always good value with an interesting choice of dishes. Good advice from the waiter regarding wine as well.

We were greeted very nicely, showed to the table I’d asked for, the waiter was very pleasant, and helpful. The food we ordered was delicious, so all in all a very pleasant experience. We’d taken our friends who were over from France, and they loved it. It’s one of our favourite restaurants.

The restaurant is spotlessly clean and offers good value for money. However I was very disappointed with my main meal. I had pork confit. It was a shoulder cut which was very fatty ( half was fat). I did mention to the waiter when I was asked about my meal and was told that was the way it is. It could have been trimmed round the edge. It was very greasy.

Great friendly restaurant. Very pleasant staff that are attentive to all your needs. Very knowledgable about the food and wine. They serve fresh good priced food

Good choice of food at a good price but wish that they would offer carafes of house wine as in an authentic French restaurant! Otherwise excellent.

The atmosphere in Cote is very French and very relaxed! There is a wide range of delicious food and wine, and the staff are really friendly and helpful.

Excellent friendly service. We loved the private dining area. Delicious food and nice choice of drinks. All at a reasonable price. We will definitely be back

WE were delighted to find a restaurant from our favourite restaurant chain in Manchester. We enjoyed a very pleasant meal with excellent service in comfortable surroundings.

Booked the fine dining room for 10 of us to celebrate our engagement. Staff were attentive and faultless! Pre theatre menu was great value for money. Very impressed!

Good food but service poor this time. After initial order taken our waitress was difficult to track down and we had to ask other staff for various things including cutlery.
