We have always enjoyed eating in branches of Cote when visiting London - especially the one in Blackheath where our daughter was a regular customer! So we were delighted when the Newcastle branch opened - if only there were another one in Ponteland where we live! The restaurant is beautifully laid out with comfortable and well spaced tables and attracts customers of all ages which is a nice change, as older people are less well catered for in the city centre! The food last night was excellent and mains portions were generous. Service also good. Fairly expensive, but worth it. We had a lovely evening, once again justifying our faith in the Cote "brand".

Cannot fault any aspect. Eye candy waiters, amazing food and lovely front of house! I’m officially an addict for the duck and Chardonnay
I absolutely love the Newcastle Cote. The food is superb and the staff are wonderful - today was a bit of a stressful day for me and their pleasant manner and calm happy demeanour made me feel altogether better. The free cocktail offer didn’t hurt either 😍
Excellent dining experience. Tasty food and good service in an appealing environment.
First visit and very impressed. Food was elegant and tasty with the emphasis on flavour. All in a relaxed setting with good service. Merci beaucoup!
Disappointing as first visit here. Food service very poor and average food. Main course served without all sides which we had to ask for and took nearly 10 minutes to bring out. One main course barely luke warm when first served so had to send it back. Again took almost 10 minutes to return main course and still wasn’t really hot. Coffees served just before deserts despite asking for them to be served afterwards.
Fantastic service, menu offered lots of choice, quality of the food was great and a lovely atmosphere. Thank you for a great evening, would highly recommend
An excellent meal and attentive staff. We will be back
Good restaurant - but although the food is good - the portions are very small - we left the restaurant wanting more! We had house wine which was good. Also the staff are friendly but a bit too much -if anything was wrong I would tell them - don't appreciate being interrupted mid meal to ask if it's ok
I went there with my daughter and we really enjoyed the experience Lovely friendly staff. The Food was excellent and the ambiance was perfect. Definitely worth a visit
Service was timely and unobtrusive. My guest and I could enjoy a leisurely reunion. The food we had was fine. The fougasse I had was much more authentic than your alleged pissaladiere which bears scant resemblance to that which I’ve often enjoyed in Nice We enjoyed the lunch and the experience. The building and surroundings impressed my lunch guest who is based in the south.More impressive say than Côte in Richmond (Surrey)
A wonderful evening of great food, service and company. Staff, as always, very friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Excellent. Thank you.
An excellent experience as always. We had great food and very nice wine. Friendly and efficient service. Thank you for a lovely evening. See you again soon.
Superb food as always will suit all pockets. Third visit each one exceptional. Good variety and excellent deals for 2/3 courses too. Will be back
Fantastic, tasty food and great atmosphere as usual, great service from very friendly staff from start to finish. All in all a lovely evening... Thank you!
Perfection as always. Our 3rd bisit and will be back soon
Service and food excellent as ever. My son had a seizure in the restaurant and the staff were so helpful and kind. Please pass on our thanks and let them now that Jack has recovered well.
Staff friendly and attentive without being overbearing Good menu with a good range of choice
Lovely food, good choice on the lunchtime specials menu, realistically priced. Clean comfortable dining area. Waiters/waitress a bit dour, a smile would have been nice, they were quite abrupt.
Excellent staff, service and food. We couldn’t fault a thing
Your service was rubbish. We booked in advance but still had to wait some time to be seated. There was absolutely no eye contact from any of the staff only when he eventually came to take or order was any interaction. It appeared to us that the staff were totally disinterested in the customers. The meal was served, then the desert with not a single word from the server. If we had wanted a coffee, I believe we would have still be waiting! Also, why serve hot food on cold plates?
Excellent food. We were a party of 4 and everyone agreed , excellent food and nice staff, we will be back. Look forward to our next visit soon.
First time at Cote but definitely not the last the service was great and the food even better, lovely atmosphere and just the right amount of attention for the staff.
Everything is lovely food, staff, atmosphere. The lunch special is value for money.
Had a wonderful evening here with my partner for Valentine’s Day! Both food and service were amazing - couldn’t fault a thing! We’ll definitely be back!
Delicious food, quietly efficient waiters. A really good meal in great surroundings.
Food as reliable as ever. We enjoyed both the wine, Viognier and St Chinian. Service was excellent throughout. The staff in this branch are very well trained
I took my friend to Côte Brasserie for her 30th birthday and asked for a nice Happy Birthday message on her dessert plate. Not only did they do that, but they stuck a candle in the dessert and gave us the desserts for free. It was lovely and added something special to our day.
As always, the quality of food & service is head & shoulders above other restaurants of a similar price. Much better steaks than elsewhere. Wine list is very good.
I've eaten better steak in Weatherspoons and the (OPTIONAL)12.5% service charge,over £10 on our bill is unacceptable.You are blackmailed into paying it as you do not want to be embarrassed by querying it.(This is regardless of the service you received).
Service fantastic. French onion soup superb. Bread could have been a little more fresh. Prawns a little chewy in starter. Lamb fantastic. Creme caramel the best I’ve ever had. Lovely ambience. Will be back.
February special of Boudin Noir was delicious as was the pate (as normal). Service was also excellent. This has to be some of the best food in Newcastle- better than Marco Pierre White.
Really enjoyed our visit. We arrived just before 7pm and were still offered the early dining menu. Decided to have the three courses and have to say all the courses were good. Hubby decided to have steak and said it was one of the best steaks he has had in a long time. I opted for the seafood linguine and it was very good. Also enjoyed a really good bottle of wine. Can not fault the food or the service. Overall, a great night.
Tasty Breakfast on the Sunday Morning,,,Highly recommand!! A quite place, maybe because it was 9am at Sunday. Next time, I will looking for bit more ambient music. Little bit expensive, but reasonable.
Met up with friends from work who had never been to Cote before - I recommended we visit here as I have been a few times - we all thoroughly enjoyed it - will definitely visit again.
Top class meal and service. Friendly welcome. Great ambience in the Newcastle restaurant. Excellent menu although we have our favourites! Looking forward to our next visit.
Best gluten free menu I’ve ever seen! There was so much choice and I didn’t feel like a nuisance for once. Every restaurant could learn something about special dietary requirements from Cote Brasserie. Thank you
Really enjoyed our lunch in fact it made the day, great atmosphere and fab service. The food was very very good, Always love an opportunity to eat at Cote! thank you once again
Great food - brilliant staff. Completely reliable and excellent as ever.
Authentic French style bistro. Lovely food, wine and beer. Friendly and attentive service. Great ambience. Our first visit but will certainly return. Thank you.
Very good service and food. Always reliable whichever one you visit.
I visit often the food is terrific and the staff are friendly and efficient. It’s my go to for quick service.
Top service great atmosphere lovely tasty food good range on the menu. Comfortable place to have a meal with friends and family hope to enjoy many more visits.
Great food. Perfect staff - everyone amazingly attentive & welcoming. Really impressive.
Great food, staff and facilities this is our favourite restaurant in Newcastle. Keep up the good work x
Food and service excellent, little expensive but worth it, will visit again.
Lovely food and great service. First visit but will definitely not be the last.
The staff were too busy faffing around at their tills when we were trying to get their attention to remind them that they hadn’t brought over the mustard we asked for. His steak was cold by the time 5 mins or so passed for the two members of staff we asked to bring it out. My partners steak was also cooked through despite him being warned it would be served rare and him specifically asking for it to be served rare. We ordered more chips just as we finished our food and waited what felt like Avery long time for them to be served. Great company and I enjoyed my Fish Parmentier, however compared to your other branches our lunch today was a let down due to your staff inattentiveness. We were also charged a service charge. Maybe it should be optional then the staff might take more notice?
First visit to Cote food was excellent staff were lovely and very helpful seating very well set out thoroughly enjoyed our visit. We would recommend Cote to our family and friends and will defiantly be coming back again.
Great food great service and a friendly waiter made for a great early evening meal experience the menu had many choices to cater for our requirements
