Fantastic food and service. Don't plan to have a drink there before your meal or you will be turned away. Book beforehand too. The atmosphere is buzzing and the restaurant surroundings very attractive and mellow.

We were greeted on arrival by manager who was delightful. The service overall was first class. The food was up to its usual high standard. Have been visiting Brighton branch from first day it opened and only once have had an issue, which was speedily resolved. Thank you

Lovely meal with friend at Cote Brighton. Smoked Mackerel Rilletts starter was delicious. A few salad leaves were pale and sad around the edges. Sea Bass main also excellent. Won't have the choc pot dessert again; a bit small. Good value set meal.

A great place to go to celebrate anything. Feels like a little bit of Paris in Brighton. Not cheap- but not ridiculously priced either. The food is good and consistent, but it's the atmosphere that makes it worth the visit. Try and sit downstairs as upstairs feels a little out of the buzz. The creme caramel is worth the trip alone......

Service very slow we waited over 10 minutes to place an order and our food came before our drinks which we had to chase. This isn't always the case at this restaurant have always had great service possibly just an off day. Food was good.

Pleasant meal. Noisy venue. Staff a bit distracted, made several errors in serving and had to be reminded what to bring, including cutlery and water! Seemed to be getting things from other tables rather than all tables already set.

We requested and received a table by the window as it can be rather noisy when busy. The food and service were very good. Good value at £10.95 for two courses. My companions particularly enjoyed the Cream Caramel and the Peach Crumble with ice cream. A good experience.

The service was good, however the food was not up to the usual standard. I had the asparagus risotto which was ok but covered in wilted discoloured watercress! My husband had the chicken,avocado, salad and due to the stacking system, (fine for hot food,) didn't work as the salad was warm , very unpleasant. Overall we felt the standard had dropped sadly.

Lovely atmosphere and fairly mid range for pricing we had a lovely table by the window - we weren't entirely happy with one of our main courses but as always the customer comes first here and they replaced the dish and gave us a complimentary pudding to say sorry. Excellent service and a thoroughly lovely meal. Dee, Brighton.

We were looking forward to the Brighton Festival's evening concert of classical music which we booked months ago. The only place we felt would match the high quality of the performance was to start with equally good meal & drink in an elegant place, good service and pleasant atmosphere. The Cote Brasserie absolutely ticks all these boxes for us. We dine there regularly, whether it's a dinner or lunch, a family celebration or going out with friends. More than that, we find the same quality of food and service at this restaurant chain in other places we visit during a year, London, Farnham, Winchester, to name just a few. The online booking is quick and simple, the menu and all the latest additions such as May Specials can be browsed in advance. The staff is very well trained and very helpful. Thank you for looking after us.

Always a nice place to go - reliable and constant. Food good (although the veal I had last night was bland), service always prompt, friendly and knowledgable. The situation is excellent - interesting building and very central.

Cote Brighton is my fav of those that I have visited thus far. Starter (Charcuterie Board) and main (Lamb Rump) were excellent, dessert (Crème Brule) was average as wasn't set enough and too runny for my liking. Staff were attentive but as we were a group of 7 we were seated upstairs with other larger groups which seemed to make them a little busy at times. Still the staff were very charming as always. Another thumbs up and recommendation for Cote Brighton!
