Côte Muswell Hill

We had a very pleasant evening with a good standard of food. Staff were very friendly.

Had a really nice family dinner here last night. Thank you.

Welcome back to Muswell Hill we have missed enjoying your food and service.

We had been looking forward to steak frites for many months and it did not disappoint! Really tasty, and enjoyed our kir royales, chocolate fondant and crepe puddings, too! Friendly and efficient service, too!

Fabulous evening at our local Cote, great food as always

Lovely evening out, made to feel very special, especially my daughter on her birthday

Excellent! Fantastic service as always, we received complementary drinks as it was our anniversary when we arrived. Food was amazing as always and had a great afternoon. Thank you!

Our visit to Côte Muswell Hill got off to a warm welcome and we were seated at a table near the window—away from the very noisy interior of the restaurant, which was perfect. The food and beers were delicious as always, my steak cooked to perfection as were my husband's fried haddock and chips. We went with the chocaholic options for dessert: my husband had an indulgent chocolate mousse which was rich and delicious, while I enjoyed the chocolate fondant with its mouth-watering melting middle. The service was excellent. The restaurant was packed (social distancing was being scrupulously observed, of course, but there were still plenty of people enjoying Côte hospitality), but the staff still managed to make us feel special and they were attentive without being intrusive. We're looking forward to our next visit—soon! A big Thank You and Congratulations to the staff for a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Always lovely food and excellent staff. The covid conditions were good and I felt safe. Cote has been a long term favourite of ours. There home delivery during lockdown was amazing - the best of all the restos we tried.

We had a most relaxing and delicious lunch today. We missed you so much over lockdown. I feel more normal now that I can indulge at Côte again. Thank you. Ann

All good as usual, we value the consistent high standards

Welcome back Côte, Muswell Hill. We had a great evening for my birthday dinner and we're welcomed back with great food and service. Thank you. Willie.

So lovely to be back after all these months and to be greeted with so much warmth. Food and service still the best!!! Thank you!

Lovely to be able to return - service fabulous as always

Lovely meal! Great to be back. Service friendly and excellent as usual which makes all the difference.

Lovely to have you back! Thanks to all staff at Muswell Hill.

Food was good. Not amazing, but good. Sadly the two items we wanted were off the menu, then the host made a special effort for the table next to us and they managed to get the items that were “sold out”! Not too impressed. The staff could do with loosening up a little and relaxing into their roles..they seem a bit serious!

It was lovely food and service but very busy, so I was a bit concerned about the closeness of tables. The music was quite loud so people were talking loudly (something to avoid for safety reasons). Maybe no music would be better when it's that full? Some people were seated very close together, no differently from before the crisis, which I thought a little odd and concerned me (definitely not enough social distancing). I would probably avoid evenings in future and go at a quieter time. I felt a little anxious.

It was great to be back all very good enjoyed with relatives

Staff are very friendly and accomodating would return back again

Attentive staff, great food, great value. We need no more

Excellent as always. Was great to be back there on the first opening night. Staff welcoming and food gorgeous as usual

The layout and staff preparation / knowledge in these strange times was excellent would feel confident and safe going again first night so the lobster and fish had run out by 8 o’clock but must’ve been difficult to gauge what we had was excellent so thank you very much Côte

Lovely food and drinks. Friendly and attentive staff. A real treat. Thank you

It was wonderful to get back to our local Cote and experience the great menu and friendly service - many thanks!

Lovely food, including fabulous fougasse and baked camembert was delicious.

The staff are always fabulously welcoming and helpful. I had one of the specials haddock wrapped in bacon on puy lentils for main which I found a little bland and lacking much flavour. I wouldnt choose it again. My friend enjoyed the mussels.

Service was very slow - we had to wait a long time for our food, but when it arrived it was delicious.

Absolutely amazing service! Regular here for brunch but today I tried the lunch menu for my best friends birthday! The staff are wonderful, and definitely made it a special afternoon for her! Thank you to the team!

Lovely restaurant. Service s bit slow on last visit. Food is absolutely gorgeous but slightly small on the portion side, we ordered side dishes to bulk it up

Always excellent service and fab food! Never go wrong choosing Côte Muswell Hill! The starters were fresh and tasty and the mains always great! Thank you

As always, friendly and professional service and excellent food and wine.

Very welcoming staff and quick service. Food was hot and well presented. Cream caramel was as good as usual. No problems at all really enjoyed meal

Great service, great food as always from Cote! A warm welcome from Cote in Muswell Hill, service was friendly and efficient and the food was hot and delicious. What more can you ask for?

Terrible service was really slow. .steak was burnt...by the time the replacement came it was too late. I’m so sad . it ruined my nigh. staff were vacant. Really disappointed.

Food was good and to a great standard as always - service was a little slower than we have experienced before.staff were cheerful polite and friendly.

A very warm welcome with the added surprise of a plant and a card welcoming us to Muswell Hill. Nice food, very nice staff and a nice relaxed vibe. All in all a very good experience.

Lovely food. Hadn't been for a while as it was not goid. Glad to see that it has improved again. We had fish and duck and it was delicious.

Really nice meal, good food and wine, ideal for pre theatre .Very good service and friendly staff, would definitely go back again, will recommend to friends .

Enjoyed it overall, but long waits between courses and felt t was expensive. The main I ordered came with nothing, I had to order 2 sides to make a meal. Also don’t like the automatic 12 1/2% added to the bill Would only go when there are special offers on.

Not a very good experience. 1) They had no Rhubarb cocktail. They did give us Kir Royal in its place. 2 I had Duck breast and it arrived raw They were very appolojetic and took it back and got it cooked some more. I have used The Cote for many years and have always found the food and staff perfect, last night was a disappointment and I will hesitate to use it again. John West

We are regulars here and usually it is spot on. But the past few times it’s been a little off. Food light on dressing/sauces, dry pissaldiere, sometimes over seasoned (too much salt) food. Friendliness of staff is still good despite a wholesale change, but service isn’t as sharp as it was. And I hate breakfast settings being placed and the general close down process/wipe down happening around me while I am still sat down finishing dinner well before the advertised closing time!

Nice lunch with friends. Staff all extremely nice. Thank you

On this occasion I tried a new dish I had not tried before and can say that I was very pleasantly rewarded. The attentive staff simply added to the success of the evening for both of us. I keep thinking that this can't go on like this forever, but I am pleased that I continue to be proved wrong - it has continued for a long period now, which means that it is not accidental.

Lovely range of food and good service at a reasonable price. £7 service charge wasn’t appreciated when the dinner was only £60 in the first place, I wouldn’t have left that much if given the choice.

Cote is consistently good whatever branch you visit. Good food, good service every time.

Good reliable food nice relaxing ambience Breakfasts very good value in our opinion as they include hot and cold soft drinks Your veggie risotto a favourite and we often finish with a coupe noir which is a lovely combination of textures and you can’t go wrong with good vanilla ice cream and hot dark chocolate sauce. Something you might consider adding to your coffee range is a cortado served in a small glass rather than an espresso cup. Busy Sunday when we visited longest wait was for the bill but not a problem as we were not in a rush. very polite and helpful waiter nothing too much trouble.

Made for a very pleasant evening. Many thanks to all the staff and management who always make you feel welcome.

Great as always. Consistently good food, ambiance and general standard of presentation. Côte is always top of our list for eating out locally. I recommend the French onion soup to start and their delicious Ribeye steak for a main dish.

Côte is always my favourite place to eat. I love the whole experience, from the subtle lighting to the delightful food and staff. Wish the seafood linguine was on the permanent menu though.
