Côte Muswell Hill

We've been going to this Cote for a few years and it can vary a lot depending on the staff member you get. This time the food was excellent but the waiter wasn't friendly.

We enjoyed the food and the range of vegetarian options available, however the service we received was slow and disorganised. Waiting staff seemed disinterested in serving us.

Had the anniversary menu. Knew most of it. Delicious and, as always, consistent. Service excellent. For a chain they have all the advantages of bulk buying and avoid the pitfall of inconsyent cooking which is the blight of some chains.

Although the offer was 2for1 on the early evening set menu, we were charged the full price for two meals and had to get the bill changed, the excuse was that the restaurant was very busy that night, which it was.

The food is delicious but deserts don't worth £6. We had a lemon tart and pastry with apple. Pastry in both was burnt and dry. Lemon tart was was so much lemony we couldn't eat it. Fish stew was fantastic! Haddock with lentil was perfect.

Service & food , always excellent :) I enjoy dining @ côte , because standard of food , expected , does not disappoint , And service great for a busy weekend !

The food was fantastic, we are a big fans of that place, excellent service, nice welcome, straight way offer us the complimentary glass of skirt Royale. Highly recommend the restaurant.

Food is always very good, and the early menu is excellent value for money. The menu's are changed monthly and offer interesting and varied dishes.

We were welcomed and seated immediately. Our choices were listened to and carried out in good time and the food was delicious. Really enjoyable. You should be congratulated.

We went to have breakfast today. Poor service. Was not accommodating on my order and two out of the five meals were wrong. Very disappointed!

Duck and chicken salad were both excellent, as were tomatoes Breton and pissaladiere. Service was good. We all hate the Cote habit of charging a service fee, which, though theoretically optional, is really unavoidable. Customers cannot know whether it goes to staff or not. We would prefer to tip the individual waiter/waitress, and would have done so last night had you not extracted your percentage.

Food quality was good, however service was a little haphazard even on a relatively quiet evening. Bread ordered as a starter never showed up, two of the mains arrived 7 minutes before the other two and on three occasions we had to call out to the waiters to get attention.

Quick service and high quality food done well to order. Complimentary filtered water offered upon seating. We had ribeye and it was cooked perfectly medium as requested. Calamari starter was also fried well and crispy.

Nice food - always reliable - friendly staff although a bit understaffed on the night we went. Best to stick to typical brasserie style dishes, eg steak frites, simple starters, moules etc...and the frozen berries with while choc sauce are delicious!

We have The fish parmentier which was delicious as usual Followed by apple tart & yum icecream ! My friend preferred the creme brûlée ! An kir royals ! Always a pleasure

Very nice meal, as always. Set menu is good value, though it's surprising how the bill soon mounts up with drinks and service added. Staff are always friendly and helpful - this time, our waitress brought 3 wine samples to try when the first bottle was off.

Great restaurant, fabulous service and amazing food.... only criticism is they have taken the crab pate off the starters menu and that was my favorite!

Nice dinner out excellent food at rasonable price. The service was quick and efficient and t waiters were very friendly and professionals. I'll come back

Actually, the meal and the service were generally what we have enjoyed in other Cote restaurants across London. With one exception !! The Steak was absolutely tough, chewy and I had to leave most of it. I did mention this to the waitress but was disappointed that no reduction on the bill was reflected. We were in a hurry to leave so am pleased at this opportunity of sharing my thoughts. If you could take this up on my behalf I`d appreciate it. Thankyou.

Lovely meal at Cote Muswell Hill, thank you Cote. It was all very nicely cooked and presented and the complementary Kir Royale added to the birthday celebration enjoyment for me and my family

It was very good-we were welcomed to Cote with the special round table I requested-and given free glasses of Kir Royal to cheer my birthday celebration along- We arrived in time for the lunch time menu for my guests- I decided to have the Specials for June- The food was great-everybody enjoyed- The wine was a perfect accompaniment-to a perfect meal- I was given a £50 voucher-as a thank you for being a constant attendee at Cote since it first started- This helped so much with the final bill- I paid by card-and we all left feeling very satisfied and happy- We arrived home safely by car-and we all want to go back to Cote again very soon -for another lovely celebration of French cooking and hospitality- Thank you so much for making my birthday treat special- I will be back for more next week as usual.......

Generally good, the food was good, just a bit lacking in service as we had to ask for plates, they didn't automatically think we needed them to share the starters between us, asked for sauce and only one little ramekin of sauce was brought, had to ask for more as there were 6 of us. Asked for lemon slices, 2 was brought for 5 of us, hence only 3 out of 6

The food at Cote Muswell hill was very good and the service was excellent. This was a very enjoyable evening and I will be returning. Thank you.

Great service, food, atmosphere and location - met for lunch with friends and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!! Would definitely recommend for lunch or dinner and look forward to returning. Thank you!!

Mine and my wife's main courses clearly got forgotten. We ate over an hour after the kids though the food was good - what was supposed to be a quick meal ended up being stressful as the kids were desperate to leave

Good service, lovely atmosphere and great food. Perfect and not too expensive. Went with my Mum and Dad for a birthday lunch and was a perfect venue. All enjoyed well presented and good cooked food.

Excellent service and good food. A thoroughly enjoyable experience and evening out. I will not hesitate to go back to Cote in Muswell Hill again,.

The staff were lovely and I always feel welcome. The sauce on my steak was a bit thick but the steak was perfect. The dessert was delicious.

Cote staff as always were helpful and attentive. Food of usual high standard and tasted wonderful. Food and service are always very consistent and make for a very enjoyable evening.

a visit to Cote in Muswell Hill is always a nice Saturday evening. the seasonal menu had tomatoes Breton which were delicious, and we both had salmon with hollandaise sauce for mains, washed down with perfectly acceptable Chablis.

Service was excellent.food was of its usual high standard.it was an enjoyable evening as always. We rate this restaurant very highly and is always our first choice for dining out .

Very helpful service and nice to be recognised from our last visit. Good menu beautifully cooked. We very much enjoyed the whole experience. Thank you.

we had great complimentary kir royales, enjoyed good food and had perfect service for a very long birthday lunch that we all enjoyed as ever.

The staff are great as always. The Bergerac wine perfect. Only slight and very slight critique we both had the fish cakes and they were slightly too bland. Otherwise great as always. Thank You

Fabulous food and choice of wine. Good service. Relaxed atmosphere . All made a great evening. Desserts were great too. Good value for money. Would definitely go again.

I love them! Thanks to make my special day even more than it was! Thanks Gabriella, very nice customer service, I hope to see you soon guys!

We were a party of 8 and the service was superb. The food was superb also. Definitely give Café Brasserie a try we highly recommend it.

Very enjoyable consistently good. Love the changing seasonal menu which always has great choices. Seemed short staff. But this who were there were working very hard.

The restaurant is spacious but cosy as there are separate dining areas. There is a good ambience with friend, helpful staff. There is a fairly extensive menu providing good choice with something for everyone and an excellent value lunch time value menu.

This place has great food, really really really great service, ab so loot lee love this place and their burgers are out of this world

Good service food ok not outstanding had duck bresdt on friends recommendation disapointing. Not a lot of flavour despite a thock sauce that was more colour than taste. Like Cote but will stiick to steak frite in future!

Excellent food - with a very varied menu nicely presented; excellent service; good atmosphere. Polite and attentive staff. Tables arranged with plenty of space between them. I strongly recommend this restaurant .

We had a great time at the restaurant last Saturday, the waitress was very assertive & polite. I had the moules marinièr as a starter where the mussels tasted really fresh with the wine creamy sauce, my wife just had the basket of bread at £2.40 was very reasonably priced. I had belly pork for the main course, the skin was really crispy served with Savoy cabbage & creamy potatoes, my wife had the fish pie which she let me know was very satisfying, we both the bottle of house red which again was very nice which all lead to a very enjoyable experience. Kevin & Teresa

Good food, great value, lovely staff. I go to the Muswell Hill branch quite often and this time six of us went for a birthday breakfast for our friend. The staff gave us a wine bucket with water for her flowers and couldn't do enough, all with a smile. Great local place and excellent value, especially for breakfast/brunch.

Great meal. Amazing food and excellent service. Will definitely return as it is a great restaurant with amazing staff who are very attentive and helpful.

Pleasant atmosphere. The food was very good and the staff were attentive and polite. Will certainly go back there for breakfast again. Much better than another French chain that we have locally!

Enjoyed the meals. Ordered the belly of port and duck beween us and both dishes were presented well and tasted good. A pleasant expereince overall

Great food but a bit noisy. I had a birthday meal for my 87 yr old grandmother who kept complaining that she couldn't hear us when we were speaking. Overall a great evening, would defo go again.

One of the best meals we had in a while! Everything was done extremely well and the service was friendly and efficient! The asparagus with hollandaise sauce was excellent, the onion soup nicely dense and cheesy, the fish parmentier yummy and the escalope of veal tender and perfectly cooked and the accompanying creamed spinach delicious. The tarte fine de pommes was very good. A thoroughly pleasant experience and very enjoyable overall evening indeed!

Good service and great table. Wide variety on the menu and food the same quality as always. You know what you get at Cote hence we go back
