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.
Nice food, good service and reasonably priced. Have been many times and hope to go again. The only thing I would be concerned about is that they were setting up the tables around us for a hen do complete with penis straws etc which had I been dining next too it would no have been such a pleasant evening. Given the standard of the restaurant I’m surprised that they would have accepted such a booking as in my experience Cote is a far classier establishment than one for hen do’s
Eaten at Cote in Manchester several times now, mainly for pre theatre menu. Always great service from the staff, lovely food with generous portions and very reasonably priced. I always leave Cote very happy - it's an excellent start to my evening.
We had an excellent evening. The food was first class and the service was very good indeed. I would highly recommend this restaurant to my friends.
This was our second visit to Manchester branch two course before 7 pm suited us as Concert later! It did not disappoint both courses absolutely delicious best restaurant we have been to and not just in Uk. Staff great I forgot my reading glasses waiter let me use his. Thank you will be back soon
Great food and service as always. good value for money, friendly and efficient staff, can’t fault it. Early evening menu changed regularly which is great
Food was excellent and service as always very good as at any Cote restaurant . Nice location in Manchester and staff were very friendly and amiable
Absolutely lovely meal thoroughly enjoyed by all five of us, the service was excellent and was very reasonably priced. Would recommend to anyone and we will all be returning in the future. Thank very much.
Good food and wine well presented by pleasant efficient staff.Choice of menus was fine as usual and the pricing was fair. Thw loos were spotless. We will recommend Cote again to our friends as a good venue.
We had been recommended to come here by friends and we weren’t disappointed. The food and service was first class. We’ll be back to visit again.
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.
As always a lovely meal with professional friendly service.The sea bass was beautifully cooked and a complimentary bottle of wine as regular customers was appreciated. Will be back soon.
Party of 8 plus a child had a great evening Food was terrific and so was the service. Could not fault it and would definitely return.
My little band of friends have lunched here many times and after previously trying many other restaurants in Manchester, this one has established itself as our favourite. Friendly staff, consistently good food, attentive and efficient service...need I say more?
Very tasty food. Great service, good central location. Brilliant value for money. Slightly dissaponted that the incorporated gratituite bill is in very small print on the menu ( could be caught out). Will defiantly visit again.
Very nice meal. Good choices available on the menu. Right portion size. Very efficient service. Goid coffee.
Good food, nice ambiance, the Creme Caramel comes highly recommended.
We booked for my dad's 80th birthday, the staff were very patient, friendly, they accommodated extra guests without a fuss and the food was excellent. We will definitely visit again.
Had a very enjoyable meal here today. I was given a glass of fizz because it was my birthday. The menu choices were good, as was the food. Service was also attentive but unitrusive.
Excellent experience overall. The staff were very attentive without being intrusive. When we arrived it was very busy but we were asked where we would like to be seated. It was good to choose. Food was to die for. So well presented and just delicious 😋
A consistent chain, which we have used from London to York, with Manchester being our latest port of call. Food is always good, and service of a high quality. I wish I could add an enormous FIVE STARS for customer service from our visit yesterday, as my partner left his glasses on the table. A quick phone call when we got home resulted in the lovely staff offering to post the specs, saving us a 2-hour journey to Manchester to collect them. Absolutely brilliant, and the sort of thing which makes us want to return when we're next in town. We should also mention that Manchester Cote is an ideal pre-theatre venue for the Royal Exchange theatre ( we did post-matinee ).
Wonderful as ever good food great value great service x
Booking was really difficult, got confirmation then got cancellation when I rang I was told it was still booked, so not good really, service very poor meals wrong and £40+ service charges on bill really !!!! Wouldn’t recommend and probably won’t return after being a returning customer for many years, very disappointing for my daughters 21st celebration.
Love this place. Fantastic food, friendly, welcoming staff and a great atmosphere. We all had the tenderloin pork from the premium set menu, it was so tender and delicious. Will recommend it to all my friends
Thoroughly enjoyable evening, we’d pre-booked and although a little late there were no problems. The service was prompt and friendly, speed of service was excellent, food was very giid and the waiter was warm and friendly - will definitely return
Good Father's Day experience. Had the Prestige menu the steaks were tasty & cooked well. Staff helpful. Good value for money.
The staff were very attentive thank you for being patient when our friend was ill
This is a stylish brasserie without too many frills. Service is polished and friendly and the food is well cooked and presented. The set menus are great value but the carte and wine list won’t break the bank. Perfect for the price.
The pre theatre menu is Good value and we had lovely polite quick service. Food was very tasty and adequate portions. Didn’t feel rushed at all
Lovely meal. Great relaxed atmosphere. Couldn't fault it. Very pleasant and attentive staff without being at all intrusive. Overall a great experience.
Great food and lovely atmosphere. Waitress was excellent too, very friendly. Asked for a quiet table and was given a lovely table by the window.Very happy.
I've been to Cote on a regular basis and never been dissatisfied, I would recommend anyone to try it out, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Steve Stopford Manchester.
Excellent service, great dinner, pre theatre 3 courses £18.95 excellent pork tenderloin with potato gratin, busy restaurant early Saturday night, great staff, all very helpful and pleasant . All round good experience would definitely return.
We had a lovely meal from the Theatre menu. Great food, nice atmosphere.
Excellent food freshly prepared.I would fully recommend this brasserie for a pre theatre meal.
Lovely food. Staff were efficient and friendly. Nice decor. Very reasonably priced. Was quieter than normal but it was a sunny Bank Holiday Sunday, bonus for us as we had the full attention of the staff.
Constantly great food and excellent service something that is hard to find these days. Set menus are seasonal so nice variety each time I return and at an affordable price.
Excellent food and lovely staff - I highly recommend it :-)
Delicious French Dining!! The nice and cosy atmosphere of this restaurant allows you to enjoy your dishes in a cosy interior. Try the Fougasse with a nice glass of Sancerre!
A very enjoyable lunch, the waiter over heard it was my birthday and made the afternoon really special! Great service and great food
My favourite place in Manchester. Serves brilliant food. Varied lunchtime menu. Food served quickly and member of staff that served it to us was very good.
Had a thoroughly enjoyable time at cote brasserie. The food was excellent, the service friendly and efficient and a great atmosphere. Very good value for money too. Strongly recommended.
Pleasant atmosphere Great menu choices Excellent service and very good value for money The pork loin was delicious!!
My daughter and I were belatedly celebrating Mother’s Day on Saturday. We were cordially greeted and shown to a window seat, which I prefer. I’ve been to Côte many times before so I was accustomed to the wide choice. Having decided on the Premium Set menu we were quickly served once we’d finished our aperitif ( a pleasant gin and sparkling wine cocktail). The French onion soup was hearty and delicious whilst the sea bass with fennel was perfectly cooked. The Sauvignon Blanc was a good match to the main course. Coffee was pleasant and served after a decent interval. Service at Côte is always excellent and today was no exception. My only criticisms of the menu are that the sides are overpriced-£3+ for green beans is over the top for example, in comparison to the cost of the mains overall. I would like a more imaginative choice in the desserts- there only ever seems to be ice cream, creme caramel, chocolate pot or crumble for dessert. We both enjoyed our meal and would definitely recommend Côte again to others.
We loved the food, such an excellent menu and very well prepared and presented. The decor is really appealling and the staff were outstanding.
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.
as always the service and the food was top class. it was my wifes birthday and we were treated to a Kir Royale each which was a nice start to our lovely meal. we have visited many times and we have never been disappointed. we will be there again in a couple of weeks.
Since cafe rouge closed there has been a gap in Manchester now filled by this excellent french restaurant. The food and wine are so good and typically french.
Always lovely and reliable experience. All my special meals are spent there. The lovely gentleman who served us was attentive but not overbearing. Food top notch as usual.
Set lunch menu, fabulous meal, really good value for money! I will be coming back soon.
