Côte Winchester

The usual good food and drink at Cote’s. Had booked for the negronis but my friend wasn’t keen so we just had the set menu. Wasn’t sure about the starters but my pea, mint & courgette soup with pine nuts was very good. I asked if it came hot or cold and the waiter said whichever way I wanted it. I chose hot but think it would’ve been equally good cold. The mint really lifted the flavour. My friend had ham & celeriac roulade and was a bit disappointed it was served separately but enjoyed it, nonetheless. My chargrilled chicken harissa with white beans was delicious and spicy. My friend enjoyed her sea bream. I had your alcohol-free beer, just because I like it, and my friend had a couple of glasses of rose. I’ve knocked off a star because service of the main course was rather slow. We did take a while to order but had been there an hour before it arrived.

Excellent meal, good friendly service, enjoyed our evening so much and will come again . We did not have to wait long for our food but at no time did we feel rushed. My partner is gluten intolerant and she was given her own gluten recipe, a nice touch.

There are plenty of places in Winchester serving wonderful food in a lovely setting however it is the service we received from each and every person during our evening at Cote that sets it apart and will ensure we return again soon. The team made it the relaxed memorable evening we enjoyed with a special mention to Tim. Thank you all.

Party of four all very happy with each main dish and dessert. One person with dietary issue was catered for very well indeed. Our waiter was lovely - nice sense of humour and really helpful

My wife and I were hoping for a quiet romantic birthday meal, however we were put on the a table right next to a group of youngsters who were very loud. Staff should be aware that older couples prefer a relaxing quiet atmosphere when out dining.

Lovely food and service, very busy but food came out in good time

Amazing service, good quality food and pleasant surroundings. The staff are exceptional and very accommodating. I would reccomend this particular reastairant - I’ve been to many Côte but this must be one of the finest

A very enjoyable lunch, good service and amiable pricing. The restaurant was very acceptable and not too crowded or noisy. Go there often and always have a good experience.

Good food, however poor service and no ice for an expensive gin cocktail..this could surely have been rectified using a bit of intuition. Loved my visit to Côte in Windsor, however, Winchester isn’t in the same league.

Great food and very good service. Pleasant atmosphere and no rush in serving meal. Would certainly recommend it to friends. Nice to have a choice of menus

Great service, friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere. Overall, a great experience for my wife's birthday.

It was ok, but having booked I’d hoped we get a nicer table than one in the corner next to the staff exit. That said the waiting staff were (as always) lovely - the French gent who served us was very attentive. My steak was a bit overdone for medium rare but not by enough to make a fuss. My wife’s meal was very good.

Nice place, good service, group of 15 and nearly all were very pleased with their food.

Great restaurant , good friendly service , very good food and choice of menu . Good wine list deli outs steak and the coupe noir is the best always a good night out

Food was very good but service let it down. Had to ask for plates to go with bread, had to ask for forks to go with birthday cake, couldn't make an espresso martini, general lack of enthusiasm and attentiveness from waiter

Pleasant atmosphere food tasty and the and wine good

An amazing meal for our anniversary, all staff were amazing, Efficient and very polite all evening, the food is as described, we had the duck breast for main and it’s a must Thankyou

The only down thing was a draught from the front door when left open by people who don't know how to shut a door. The Service and the food was GREAT. THANK YOU FOR A NICE EXPERIENCE.

Great food and attentive service, the selection of dishes on the menu was ideal as we all had different requirements and dish was great. The wine list was really good too.

Great meal out. All as it should be but other restaurants often fall short.

The quality of food is consistently outstanding, we travel 30 miles regularly to this Cote as we know we won’t be disappointed. The staff are always helpful and attentive and the ambience just right.

Good food and great service Thanks a lot. Server could not have been better and attentive the overall experience was just what we were looking for in a relaxed atmosphere.

Our food was tasty, and enjoyed by all in our party of five. Our table was very comfortable and spacious. Inclusion of a vegetarian in the party had been notified to Cote when booking, and the vegetarian menu was made available immediately without any further need to request this - much appreciated. Staff were attentive but not intrusive. We all thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Cote.

A warm welcome from friendly staff . Nice bistro style food ...basic French cuisine at its best, reasonably priced. A good selection of wines too. Great atmosphere !

I’ve never had a bad experience at an cote Thank you for my complementary drinks and the team made my underage cousin a mocktail so she wouldn’t feel let out. Cosy atmosphere , good food and service, Money well spent, I00 recommend

Cote always deliver on flavour. We had belly pork today which was full of flavour, and the staff were friendly and efficient. We will definitely go back.

Saw your veg menu on line but restaurant didn't have any copies of the menu to show us. Manageress very helpful took info from till and we managed to have a nice veggie meal after all.

Great lunch. Good service. We’ll definitely return. Good good at a reasonable price. Not huge meals but enough. Waiter was very attentive and helpful. Thank you.

We had a lovely evening at La Cote Winchester. The food was excellent and we had a complementary Kia royale as it was my birthday week which we enjoyed. . The only slight problem was it was extremely noisy in there as so many diners, my 88 year old Dad had trouble hearing the conversation ! Perhaps a few soft furnishings would absorb some of the noise ?!

Lovely food but had to get Camembert sent for more cooking as not gooey enough. Excellent service though including a free glass of wine as good will gesture 😊

Absolutely fabulous- great staff, great food and awesome service- I asked for something special for Valentine’s Day-a rose and a particular table and got it without any fuss ! Fab😎

We were booked to see “Rembrandt” at the Everyman cinema. We dropped into Côte on the way to book a table and, in four minutes, were on our way. (We usually book online but had forgotten.) Côte Winchester is ideally situated a few hundred yards from the Everyman cinema, middle-way from the multi-storey, free-after-six car-park. We booked the Côte because we knew we would be assured of a quiet ambience in which to eat without having to converse over loud “musack”. The decor is stylishly subdued. Service in the Côtes we have visited has always been discreetly and efficiently attentive. There is a good range of meals from two and three course standard menu to the à la carte and all have sensible portions at reasonable prices. It is not “high dining” but high enough to create a very enjoyable, French atmosphere in pleasant surroundings. After the film, we did not have time for a complete meal and selected from the à la carte mains which, with the friendly service, was an ideal way to discuss the National Gallery and Rijksmuseum's “Rembrandt”. We recommend - the free-after-six car-park, Everyman cinema and the Côte.

4 of us went for lunch on a Saturday in April. The food and service was excellent and attentive and the meal was good value.

As always, an excellent meal in lovely surroundings. Being coeliac it is such a joy to find so many options on the special Gluten Free Menu.

Good food and service. Lovely table too. Did wait ages for them to come and sort the bill out though. In the end we had to ask.

A lovey evening here very good service always friendly. The food was great and a fine bottle of Flurie . Will be back for a fab evening soon

We really enjoyed our evening. Excellent food and quality wine combined with excellent service. All the staff were polite and accommodating. We will be back again soon.

Excellent welcoming staff, prompt service, delicious food. A totally positive experience.

First time at Winchester, a really great experience, staff friendly and attentive. Food was a delight see you again soon

Friendly and welcoming staff. Food was outstanding! Pork belly was delicious! Service was great. Highly recommend the Cote Brasserie and book your reservations as it is a very popular restaurant.

We came the day before mothers day with are four year old daughter, we loved it there the service was amazing and the waiters were all proper gents, day recommend and will go again

Wife had a birthday lunch here it was the usual nice place. We enjoyed the February menu it was tasty and reasonably priced, yes I would recommend this restaurant

Lovely meal, great service and food was, as always, excellent. The set menu is superb value for money and the choice is great. Maybe include a drink like Loch Fyne?

Great service, excellent food. Staff were really kind & happy to help.

Breakfast is always excellent and never a disappointment. Would always recommend. Good options for veggie and the main veggie breakfast is fab. We will be returning!

Wonderful food served by excellent friendly staff. A very well presented restaurant.

Fantastic food and service today. Ioan was a credit to the team. Polite, honest and a good sense of humour. Each course was delicious and we would definitely return soon. Thank you!

Excellent menu and choice, quality French food, wine and desserts. Good friendly service. Relaxed atmosphere, nice buzz about the place. Prices ok but beware of 12.5% service charge on your bill!

Great food, Friendly staff, partner and I went for a meal for valentines we had a lovely evening dining at cote. Would recommend To a friend, very nice.

We had an enjoyable meal. The service was good. My fish dish was served with sliced potatoes which were very much undercooked but the plate was taken away and a fresh plate with well cooked potatoes was provided. We were pleasantly surprised when the waitress advised us that we were not being charged for our coffee as an apology for the fish dish having to be replaced - very good customer service, thank you.
