Lovely atmosphere, fast friendly service, nice food and reasonable prices all go to making this place a great choice. When I tried offering a tip it was refused as a service charge was already on the bill, now that’s rear.

A treat for a special friend for her birthday. I had been before so knew what to expect. She had not and was wonderfully surprised with the whole experience. Lovely ambience, really friendly and helpful staff, delicious food, super service and the pamparelle? spritzer was a a delight. Thank you so much.

The staff, the food and service was the usual excellent standard. Unfortunately, on this occasion, the buildung had issues. The fire alarm went off twice, with no explanation as to why, and so diners remained in their seats. We suspect either the air conditioning had failed, or ben turned off, because during our meal the atmosphere in the restaurant became far too uncomfortable to linger. We had to fan ourselves with menus. We left earlier than we would normally have done. It was stiffling. The present weather conditions perhaps proved too challenging for the restaurant. It spoilt our evening to be truthful, but not the fault of the staff.

Great service for the most part, but after the main course our waiter went on his dinner break so we were waiting ages to be served for dessert. Considering the 12.5% service charge is included in the bill I would have expected better

I went with a colleague for business lunch. The menu was good and they provided quality food and quick lunchtime service - would recommend pork belly or steak frites

Usually excellent service and food but felt side lined and way too much chili in 3 dishes. But when I complained they took money off the bill to resolve the issue.

We arrived early but this did not cause a problem. Manager welcomed us back as we had not been for a little while (we do not live in Norwich so are here for only s few weekends each year and other odd days.. Food excellent and well served. Helpfully a taxi was obtained when we finished to get us back from hotel.

Once again, a lovely, (early evening) meal at Cote, Norwich. Has definitely become our favourite place to eat when we are in the city. Food is fabulous and good value for money; staff are friendly and attentive, without being to much so; ambience is very pleasant. The French Onion soup (even on a hot day!) is incredible!

Cote is our “Go To” restaurant wherever we go. You always get a great meal with great service at a great price. Norwich gets 5* in all categaries.

Excellent food; great drinks; good service and 'reasonably' priced. I just wish that they provided discount cards or offers so that it wasn't quite as expensive. The offers that are e-mailed may involve free drinks etc but an overall food price discount would be more favourable.

Quite a nice lunch. Restaurant not very busy so we were not rushed. However I take issue with an ‘optional’ service charge being automatically added to the bill. If I want to leave a tip it should be up to me.

Our waiters were lovely. My boyfriend recently broke his finger and is in a cast and the waiter cut his food for him as he could only use one hand. The food was excellent and we really enjoyed our evening.

I know it is optional - but I am not happy with the service charge being added to my bill. I would like to make up my own mind as to how much ‘tip’ I give. It is embarrassing to have to question the amount with a member of staff - a member of staff who has given you first class service. And why 12.5% when 10% is the norm?

We have never had a bad meal at Cote and this was no exception. In fact the addition of the Prestige Set Menu means there is more choice than ever! I wish I knew where they get their steak and chicken - simply delicious!

We ordered the steak, duck and roast chicken and they were all delicious. The potato side which comes with the duck/chicken was amazing, I wish I had more. The service was quick and our waitress was very polite and attentive. Overall a very pleasant evening spent at Côte.

Attentive friendly service and a nice buzzy atmosphere. All our food was well presented and of good quality. The prices are fair and represent good value. My sister who is glutton free was delighted to be presented with a full glutton free menu on arrival and to have such a wide choice of options.

I have eaten at Cote many times as it’s conveniently located in the city centre, so is handy for shopping days or movie nights. The food is consistently good and well presented. The menu is fairly static, so could use more specials, but Cote does what it does well - it delivers to its customers the ‘classic’ bistro meal well.

Great food. We both had crab mayonnaise starter which was excellent. I had escalope of veal and husband had duck confit. Both very good but veal was slightly overdone on one side hence the 5 rating instead of 6. Will definitely eat there again.
