I’ve been to Cote about 12 times since it opened in Newcastle, but today was the first with my husband for our wedding anniversary. It was excellent. Every course was perfectly cooked, thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. When I booked online I asked for some cocktails on arrival. These were served within two minutes. What was a lovely surprise, was that they were complimentary. We really appreciate this. All in all and excellent lunch.

I had Prawn Gratinée, Steak Tartare and Breton Fish Stew ... and felt right at home (as in "France"). Good food, with a bottle of nice Sauvignon Blanc, excellent dessert (Praline Crépe) and a friendly attentive staff. Why not give the highest "6" mark? I save that for the next visit (very soon!). That's a promise!

Terrific menu and wine list that delivers what it promises. Charming ambience, friendly capable service. Moderate price. Details - such as the very readable font used for the menu - that are 'quiet' / in the background contribute subtly to a very pleasant experience.

The service was very good and the main course was appetising The first course could have had the brioche toasted a little more as it was similar to eating pate with bread rather than toast The sparkling wine was very palatable and I would probably return.-

The restaurant was very busy , our table was not ready when we arrived and we had to stand and wait until it was cleared . Thereafter the food was good however we had to remind the staff that we had a free gin and tonic offer which was all confirmed when we booked on line. Generally the restaurant could be managed better.

Main course was excellent as were the staff. Starter was a bit disappointing, however I didn’t complain - maybe I’m just a bit picky but the soda bread was far too hard

We love this Restaurant! We’ve visited several locations around the UK & consistently have had brilliant experience. The best thing for me is the fact that they cater for Coeliac (gluten free) exceptionally well 😀 even as far as a separate menu, not just a case of checking for ‘allergens’ which is what most eateries offer and can be frustrating- Instead we enjoyed delicious food, served by well trained and knowledgeable staff! Can’t wait to visit again.

Great meal! Lovely food. Good service. It was really hot where our table was so, without being asked, they took us to a more shaded area which suited us fine. I've been several times now and it is always really good.

Extremely good value - and the best French Onion Soup I've had in a very long time - ANYWHERE! A well-balanced wine list with the wines grouped under style, i.e. light whites, aromatic whites and so on - very good for people who are not "au fait" with wine. The service was most friendly - and apologetic when there was a short delay between courses. I shall definitely recommend the restaurant to friends, and shall visit again (yesterday being my third visit).

Good grub. Service was adequate but lacking any real engagement. This made the proposed ‘optional 12.5% service charge’ tagged to the bill, a bit of a non starter. Heard lots of grizzling from friends about the ‘optional’ gratuity already to bill.

A very good city centre restaurant offering lunch & early evening special menu. Our visit was pre-theatre so at 17:30 it was quiet, but did get busy by the time we left at 19:00. Service was OK, very polite & professional, but they seemed to get harassed as it busied up, and we had to try to catch someone for the bill. Also, we asked for the optional 12% service charge to be left off the bill, as we like to tip separately, however it was included and the bill had to be correct, this has also happened on a previous visit. Food was nice, but the 'specials' menu seems much reduced in choice compared to when they first opened last year. Overall still worth a visit, but a shame the choice has been limited.

A very convenient location for those attending graduation ceremonies in Newcastle. The lunch menu is well priced and total class, we tried fettuccine seafood platter and also the belly pork. One of the oldest breweries in France produces a beer named Meteor, we tried this for the first time and were very impressed. Katie (our Guide Dog puppy) enjoyed the bowl of cold water and of course the attention. Well done to servers and kitchen staff.

The food was wonderful - we all ate from the Special menu - and the service right throughout our evening was brilliant - just wish the toilets weren’t down a steep winding staircase!
