Côte Winchester

A good dinner with excellent service. The house rose wine is excellent and good value. This was our first visit to Cote Winchester and it lived up to expectations.

First visit with my sister for a girly afternoon. Lovely food which went down very well with an excellent bottle of bubbles. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Will be returning again very soon!

This branch always provides good food and efficient service making it a positive experience each time. Clean and friendly atmosphere and a pleasure for dining Would recommend to anyone

Not impressed with the quality of food, nor with the apparent policy of automatically adding an 'optional' 12.5% gratuity charge to the bill which we paid, but disapprove of in practice and principle.

Fast becoming my favourite restaurant. Fabulous food, excellent service, great atmosphere. Loved it. Would recommend to anyone celebrating something special or who just wants a good value top notch hit of French cuisine.

A very pleasant evening out. Good service and choice of food and wine. Friendly atmosphere and pleasantly quiet. We could hear ourselves speak which is a plus!

I always enjoy my food at Cote - it is just a shame that the upper dining area is so noisy as it really spoils the ambiance.

Service was very good and friendly. Made to feel very welcome from the moment of arriving. A good choice of food on the menus with good quantity.

Quality food, beautifully presented, excellent value, lovely staff. This is the second couple visiting from Guernsey we have taken and they rated it 10 put of 10.

Lovely food and great service. The special lunch is such good value- asparagus starter delicious, cod goujons beautifully cooked and served. Creme caramel as always superb.

Good food and service in a pleasant environment. I enjoyed the poulet roti with accompanying mixed beans and my friend, her vegetarian risotto. Reasonable choice of wines by the glass too.

Excellent food. Good service. Slight mishap in that one person had chips that were spilt so didn't have new fresh ones whilst eating the main course. We were then charged for a bottle of alcohol when we had glasses. Everything was rectified promptly and efficiently. A very enjoyable experience.

We arrived 10 minutes early for our table which turned out to be still busy, which was perfectly fair enough. It was unfortunate that there was no bar for us to wait at, we were advised to go elsewhere for a drink first. I understand that this is a space issue, but it would have been nice to have been able to start our evening with a drink rather than be chucked out to wander the streets for 15 minutes/go to a bar/pub. Our table was booked for 8.15pm. 2 of our party ordered the shared steak dish (was it the chateau briande?), but we were told that the last one had just been sold this seemed a shame. However, we ordered steak as an alternative and the food was delicious. When we came to settle the bill, 2 of the couples were treating the other couple, who had just got engaged, so it was our treat. We wanted to split the bill between 2 couples. The young lady who sorted this out for us must have shouted the total amount about 3 times, even though I tried to indicate that as it was a treat we didn't want the amount shouted round the restaurant! We did laugh, but it was a bit unfortunate! A great night though and delicious food. Thank you.

Once again, an excellent meal at Cote Winchester. Such tasty food and good service. Was going to take off a mark because half of the desserts ordered arrived a bit late, but I really did enjoy everything else so top marks it is. Definitely one of my favourite restaurants in Winchester.

The service was good. The food was far to salty, the vegetables had to be bought as extras. Small portions and expensive. Wouldn't go again.

Enjoyed our starters of beetroot salad and seared scallops, followed by haddock with puy lentils, which was delicious. The restaurant was fairly busy but service was good.

Very pleasant ambience. Good menu with sufficient choice. Food exceeded our expectations. Service was excellent. Staff very obliging and welcoming. I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant.

Quick, efficient service. Eating with two of my Children so when I asked, was seated out of the way - Food as always was perfectly acceptable. Enjoyable and stress free for an agreeable price.

Food always the same good standard. Odd brands of lager - not nice at all. Wine fine. Not convinced the reusable water bottles are clean. Service ok.

We received a warm welcome - very pleasant staff. Excellent lunch and reasonable prices for the high standard of the food. The restaurant itself was clean, attractive and welcoming. Would be happy to go to the Cote Brasserie again.

Fantastic meal. Brilliant service. Our waitress was great - sorry didn't get your name (we were the ones who'd had a foursome!). We will be back.

Excellent food, reasonable prices and pleasant service, hope to return soon. The April set menu is excellent value for money and everything was very tasty.

Love Cote Winchester. Eat there often. Excellent menu with delicious food and good choice of beverages all at reasonable prices. Popular restaurant with buzzing ambience, and welcoming staff giving good service. The few, if any problems, are well handled, which I think is always a good sign.

As usual very good food and polite staff. Was very easy to book online. Would recommend Cote brasserie Winchester to all who would like a good meal in a pleasant environment.

We are always pleased to return to our local Cote Brasserie in Winchester. There is an excellent choice on the menu and the table'd'hote meal is particularly good value. Another advantage over some other restaurants is that Cote take gluten free catering very seriously and know I can trust that all will be well.

A really nice dinner in a smart restaurant. The duck breast was perfect for me and the steak was enjoyed by my wife too. We will certainly be visiting Cote again.

We experienced really great service and lovely food. As a group of 6 we couldn't fault it at all. We will be returning again. Thanks

Lovely food and surroundings, good service. One criticism, food served on cold plates. Calamari served in a COLD skillet, therefore only the top layer was warm! Same with the mains, two served on cold plates therefore the meals were only luke warm. Not nice. We were not charged for the starter and we didn't complain about the two main meals as we didn't want to spoil the evening.

The food was very good, complementary wine was excellent and the staff though busy were very pleasant. The food was a little slow in arriving but the veal in particular was superb.

Service, food, ambience all good and they didn't seem to mind that we sat there chatting for ages. I particularly like that the tables don't crowd each other

We booked a table for 3 for dinner. Very good food with prompt and pleasant service. Reasonable prices and nice decor. We would definitely go again.

We were warmly welcomed by the staff who were attentive but not obtrusive. The food was delicious and the atmosphere great. We will go again for my birthday and take the family this time :)

Wonderful food and setting. Had lovely in season Asparagus to start, beautiful tuna nicoise salad (cooked perfectly med rare and so tender) with the recommended red wine plus a tart tatin. Hubby had special starter, beautifully cooked lamb rump and ice cream to finish. The birthday complementary kir royale topped it off ... thank you!

Lovely breakfast, all items perfectly cooked. It was pretty quiet so a nice relaxed atmosphere. Excellent service from the staff and all very efficient. Happy to return.

Breakfast with 2 under fives, for whom patience is limited, so, the food arriving quickly helped, understanding waiting staff for whom nothing was too much trouble helped to make it a very pleasant experience.

Winchester Cote restaurant never disappoints with a warm welcome, good service and delicious food. The menu has a variety which satisfies the smaller or larger appetite and the children's menu goes down well too.

Very busy restaurant, staff were lovely, service good but a little quick at times. we ordered olives and bread and teh Starter came almost at the same time.

On a quiet Sunday evening our service was very attentive but not over the top and as usual the food was excellent value and delicious

Lovely setting, excellent service, good value. The food was lovely, the waiters were friendly and professional but not too over-bearing. We will definitely visit again!

Excellent friendly service as always. The Breton chicken was moist and succulent. I may have introduced new customers for you, my friend had never been before but is definitely coming back.

All was as we come to expect now, great service and food. Love that we are not rushed through the meal or the bill is brought before we are ready.

The restaurant was a bit noisy but those concerned did settle down eventually . Staff were very tentative & I really enjoyed the meal & experience

Cote Brasserie Winchester very clean venue, staff pleasant and helpful. Service very good. Early evening menu was excellent value so much so that our drinks bill (a coke, small glass of wine and two coffee's) came to more than the food bill. Don't ever like the fact that the gratuity is assumed and added in without it being pointed out.

Great food at reasonable cost. Service was warm and friendly and a relaxing atmosphere. We have eaten her before and had a really good experience.

We go regularly to Cote at Winchester, usually before a visit to the Theatre or Cinema, and we have never been disappointed with the food or service, Cote have got it spot on. Well done Cote!!

As always food and service at Winchester cote brasserie of very good quality. We ordered from monthly set lunch menu so very good value too.

Another very pleasurable meal at Cote Winchester - lovely atmosphere, delicious complimentary wine, and great food. Inexperienced waitress was the only reason for not rating a 6 - but a delightful girl nonetheless.

Delicious food, excellent service, lovely decor. Scrumptious fresh sourdough baguette with perfectly soft butter kept me going whilst I waited for my friend to arrive. To begin, I had French onion soup and my friend had steak tartare. Both expertly seasoned. I have a heavy hand with the salt pot but I didn't need it this evening. For our main courses I had duck and she had pork belly. My gratin would have looked better served in a dish as her was, but that did not detract from the creamy, crispy texture. Duck was cooked perfectly, my only gripe was that a bit more sauce and a few more cherries would not have gone amiss. Pork belly was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, served on a huge pile of greens and a side dish of the yummy gratin. No puds but I know from experience the creme brûlée is exactly what you want from that French dish!

Lovely crab starter/lamb main good and cool crisp Sauvignon blanc. Table at front was good. Very pleasant meal. Not sure why this web site makes you enter 25 words!

Always enjoy good food and caters well for gluten free/coeliac disease. Good service and a reasonable cost per person. Would recommend to others no problem
