Fantastic food. Great service. Lovely choice of food on the a la carte menu. I enjoyed the fish stew with a lovely selection of shell fish and a very flavoursome sauce. My friend chose half a chicken with frites and a mushroom sauce. Great atmosphere in a very stylish restaurant.

Went in for breakfast at 9:30 am. Great friendly welcome as soon as we arrived. Had a choice of tables, all of which were ready laid out. Restaurant looked great. Food arrived well presented and hot. Tasted great and filled us up for our day. The only place we go to for breakfast in Brighton.

It was great as usual - seated where we wanted to be, our waiter was patient with us due to 2 people in our party was running late for lunch. Food were superb as always, the 2/3 course menu costs a bit more now but still affordable, ala carte prices were ok. Would have given 6 stars, however, my nephew has to ask twice for his dessert to be served. Overall, an amazing birthday lunch - we were able to celebrate with a free bottle of Merlot, thanks Cotè..see you again soon!

I am a regular at Cote in Brighton, as it is an ideal venue for a pre-theatre or concert meal. This visit did not disappoint and the food and service was as good and consistent as ever. In this authentic french-style bistro, the ambience is virtually guaranteed, as even at 5.30 pm the place is busy, and the beauty and decor of the building never fail to impress - oozing charm and glamour. A perennial favourite that I never grow tired of.

Had the table we requested. The service was fine but table to small for four people , 1/2 of my mains was barly warm, the wine was on the bill when it was part of an offer, so this embarrassed the payer having to query it, though resolved quickly, otherwise the experience was ok

The food and service were excellent despite the restaurant being very busy/full. All weighting staff and managerial / greeters were extremely polite and enthusiastic / attentive. Highly recommend anyone to go for any occasion - a Pre theatre or special event/occasion. My family regularly eat here and even when things haven't been perfect - the senior staff have been gracious and understanding and always look to put things right. It is THE place to eat in Brighton - for us anyway 😀

Excellent service recovery as unfortunately we had a few problems with a rude waitress, who did eventually appolgise. I dealt with the restaurant manager who was superb in dealing with the problem and treated me with great respect and also was very professional in the way she dealt with the staff member leaving her with respect as well. This has retained me as a loyal customer. The normal high standard of cuisine.

We took up the November offer of a free bottle of wine with 2 main courses.The sauvignon was very drinkable and well chilled. We both had the 'specials', Cassoulet for her and pan roasted Cod for me. We were happy with our choices and the food was nicely cooked. The restaurant was busy but staff were helpful in changing my choice of seating area, friendly and the service was good.

Good food. 28 minutes before being offered our first drink, not even busy. Waiter later said he'd be back to take wine order in '1 minute', 10 minutes later I got up and ordered myself. First time service hasn't been great.

Service can inevitably be a bit slow at very busy times, like 90 minutes before a show across the road at The Dome. So allow more time if you want a pudding.
