Excellent service by the staff. They were all very friendly and attentive to our needs. The food was well presented and tasty. My husband had the calamari and said that they were better than any he had eaten in Greece. The cost of the meal and drinks was very fairly priced. We will certainly come and eat with you again when we are in Brighton.

Another pleasant evening spent in Cote, Brighton. We were given complementary Rhubarb Martini drinks. Our waiter Joaquim was attentive, polite and accommodating. We couldn’t fault the food and atmosphere.

Surprisingly service was slower than expected. Our waitress seemed to have more than her fair share to do, although there were apparently plenty of staff around. Also we were a little disappointed that the kids’ menu was so short with no sweets!

Another lovely meal here overall. I come several times a year. However docking a star because we came on this occasion to take advantage of a free bottle of wine offer - a Sauvignon Blanc or a Syrah. On ordering the wine and asking for the SB the waitress told us No - the offer is Chardonnay or Merlot. Don't like Chardonnay so reluctantly (as having fish and chicken) ordered a red wine. She then came back and said you can have the SB if you really want, as if doing us a favour....? All a bit odd. Perhaps staff need reminding of what the deals are. She then quipped, when asking us to taste the wine, how it'd be strange to send back free wine - a little unnecessary. Anyway no big deal really, food and service was good as usual.

Normally very good, unfortunately today not so good. We were a group of 8 and 2 ordered Cod for their mains and about an hour after ordering they were told there was no Cod left and offered Salmon instead. Overall the restaurant was busy, however we waited nearly 35 minutes for starters and about an hour for mains. Staff were friendly and polite and the food was go, just a couple of issues with timing and availability of requested food. Thanks

We were greeted warmly and served very attentively by our waitress Emma who managed to be both professional and friendly. My Boeuf Bourgignon was unctuous and very flavoursome. As always the creme caramel was an absolute delight. The kir Royale started the evening well and we had a wonderful time I love Cote Brighton ! It’s my go to restaurant . I’ve never had a disappointing meal or bad service

A lovely evening at this restaurant. Heard good reviews about the place beforehand so we were expecting good things! We had a larger table for seven and were sat upstairs which seemed a bit quieter so was really nice. The food was outstanding but what made the night even better was how lovely every single staff member was; friendly, attentive, and helpful. A really good job. We think one of our servers was newer as it looked like he was being shadowed by his supervisor, he did a great job and had a really good knowledge of the food and drinks we were asking about. We will definitely be returning when we're back in Brighton! (The one less star for noise level was because there was a somewhat rowdy group of people nearby! Nothing could be done by the staff though and it definitely didn't put us off!)

I took my boyfriend to Cote Brighton to celebrate his birthday and they really pulled out all the stops which made the evening really special. We go to this Cote quite regularly, but this really was an incredible evening and I want to thank the amazing managers and staff that looked after us and for all the little, thoughtful touches that made the evening. Pretty sure all our birthdays will be here from now on... Also shout out to the amazing gluten free menu which never fails me!

The food is consistently good at Brighton Cote. However, last night was particularly good. The Tart aux Mirabelles with cinnamon ice cream was a fabulous dessert. Pity that it is an April "special", and not on the regular dessert menu.

Can’t fault Cote for consistency. Pleasant staff, delicious food. Love the new blood orange vodka martini! Buzzy atmosphere on a Wednesday evening. Brighton and Sloane Square branches best in my opinion.

We wouldn’t want to be anywhere else but Cote to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We came along with our dear friends who equally love Cote. We all agreed the staff who are polite, courteous & professional always deliver fabulous food & delicious cold cremant de Bourgogne & muscadet. The restaurant has a great atmosphere. We are fully fledged Brighton Cote enthusiasts.

We are new to Brighton and have added Cote Brassiere to our list of regular favorites that we enjoy going to for great lunches. The food is very good, the service is friendly and responsive, and the atmosphere is one of a busy, but easygoing, relaxed cafe.

We where late arriving but called ahead to let them know, they seemed surprised that we would think to do that , so very pleased. Service was excellent even though they where rushed off their feet. Food excellent as always. I was there with three Côte virgins! they loved it. We had their early evening( lunch to 7pm) menu two set prices such good value and makes choosing much easier. Would highly recommend this branch, especially if you’re visiting the dome theatre it’s opposite.

I booked the table at cote Brighton 2 weeks ago after we took my Daughter for lunch. The service was outstanding. My daughter was excited and asked if she could come here for her 13th birthday celebration. I booked the table 2 weeks in advance for 8 people. The table was booked for 6.30 so we could be home as my children had school the next day. We arrived at 6.15 and had a table upstairs, we ordered our food at 6.40 and did not eat until 8.00. Our meal was finished at 9.00pm. My 13 year old wasted her whole evening at cote, yes we had money off the bill but my daughter 13 th celebration was not as we had planned. Yes Cote was busy but we booked 2 weeks ago and were expected. Totally disappointed.

We are regular customers of Cote Brasserie as being accredited by Coeliac Uk Charity. (Coeliac Disease Strict gluten free diet required) However we were highly surprised by our lunch at Cote Brighton. Apart from the waiting time (2 hours for a sunday lunch for 4 having turned up at 12.30 ie ahead of the 1 o’clock rush), the precautionary measures were far from followed. The manager did take the order in person (GF for my daughter and I, normal for my son and my husband) pointing out that he had it all in his head and did not need to write down our order. our main dishes turned up 45 minutes later.My daughter’one has the GF flag but mine did not.The manager promised though that my dish was gf... It actually turned out to be my husband’s dish which was not gf!!!! I do not suffer myself from coeliac disease but always order off the gf menu. Having already wasted the best part of an hour waiting dor our dood to arrive I did not raise the issue but it is totally irresponsible. The fries were more than average over cooked dry and hard. When we then ordered the desserts we specifically asked for 3 of the gf menus and yet again 1 turned up without the gf flag. This is out of order!! How can you possibly be granted the gf accreditation when the staff cannot follow the basic rules! Verbal Promises are not good enough! Totally irrespectful and dangerous for the coeliac community
