Côte Brighton restaurant

Never had a bad experience at this restaurant. The maitre’ds/greeters at this place have been consistently good in the 10+ years I have been coming here and so has the food . It’s why I keep coming back.

Cote is consistently reliable good professionally served. It's the only chain that manages to avoid the feeling of being a chain.

We went early on a Saturday evening (5.30). Even so early, the atmosphere was great. The food was good valuecand tasty. The waiting staff were attentive and friendly.

My wife and I decided on the Valentine menu, smoked salmon, prawn gratine, and fillet steaks finished off with the hazelnut and grand mariner truffles for two. We both agreed this was the best meal we have had in Cote, and we have had quite a few over the years. The only downside was no complimentary glass of Kia Royal which was included on last years menu.

Lovely meal at Cote Brighton tonight, the food was delicious, great atmosphere in the restaurant and great service too! Always enjoy a trip to Cote - perfect pre theatre supper!

Delicious European dishes served in great style by the waiters and kitchen staff. The restaurant provides a very pleasant venue to enjoy a nice meal. Well done Côte Brasserie !

Usual enjoyable experience, just to say, so you can keep your good standards up, the vegetables were cold though, peas, b beans and rocket with the fish Thank you for the bottle of wine

Its our favourite pre theatre venue..great price menu, well cooked food.. lovely surroundings and a stones throw from the Theatre.. got few more bookings coming up there during the yeart

I do feel that the attention to detail has slipped over the last year or so. This week the peas/veg with fish were cold. Then second visit Breton chicken I though was tasteless and the Diaphanous potatoes dish was sloppy, not browned off on top,, the green beans undercooked and I like al dente veg but these were more for in a salad But as always charming waitressWaiters

Early Fathers Day celebration lovely food and service. It was excellent.

Unusually poor experience this time. We go to this restaurant regularly and the staff know us. That probably helped, but we were still very disconcerted when our main courses took about half an hour to arrive after our plates had been cleared from the starter. Lots of people who arrived and ordered after us were served well ahead of us. If we hadn't had such a good relationship with our waiter I suspect we'd still be waiting- he took the initiative and went downstairs to investigate. Apparently there was some problem in the kitchen but they didn't elaborate on that. We were pleased that the management compensated us in part; they took the cost of our desserts off the bill. Very good boudin noir starter; duck main course up to scratch, but the fish provencale could have done with a few more minutes in the oven. They were probably trying to make sure we got our food in time to go over the road to the Dome for the Brighton Philharmonic concert.

I had booked a table for five two weeks earlier so was a bit disappointed when our visit seemed to catch them by surprise ie: staff were not sure where the table was as there wasn’t one prepared. They had to rearrange a few tables to accommodate us. That said, the choice of food and the quality did not disappoint.

Lunch was Lovely as always & the complimentary cocktail was delicious. Friendly service & a warm welcome every time we visit. I would thoroughly recommend a visit.

Food was great. Some confusion over which menu we could choose from as after 7pm. Sign outside said certain menu till closing, told same on seating, and then differently from waiter. Pointed out that outside board & seating person told us menu was available. Resolved but “wrong” menu board was still outside on departure.

Lovely lunch, although a bit on the small side. Could have done with a green vegetable such as peas or brocolli added to the dish, but very tasty

Good food .. good service.. cheers . Ill be back!

Another good lunch at Cote Brighton. Always consistently good.

we had a lovely time staff very friendly and food was excellent and we look forward to seeing you in may we had been to cote in haywards heath as well and in london and would like to said all very good angie spiers

Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch, thanks. Service and food were excellent

Lovely food, Lovely wine and Lovely staff. Had a great evening and enjoyed everything. Couldn't fault the restaurant or the staff. It was perfect

Good service No creame caramel my favourite ! I chose the olives on the menu that did not state garlic in them and they had big chunks ! Food good but small Lunch time portion I would have orders sides if I had known

The welcome, service, quality and quantity of food were, as usual, 5*. Staff were, as always, smiley, welcoming, helpful and friendly. The only criticism is the 'discretionary' service charge of 12.5%. This is just too high - (on top of the 20% VAT charge).

Excellent as ever. Quality and service reassuringly consistent and enjoyable.

We had a lovely meal and the rhubarb cocktail was a lovely touch. Tables are rather close together.

Just perfect experience...meeting up with old friends and having a fabulous meal with fabulous service

I booked a table for 5 work colleagues to get together with an old work colleague. We were welcomed and my friend,who needs a gluten free, was given an appropriate menu and a lot of advice and help. We were not rushed but were served efficiently when we were ready using a variety of menus. All our food was of a high standard and the staff were very friendly. We stayed to talk long after we had finished eating and were treated with friendliness throughout. Thank you.

Lovely meal, good wine selection, comfortable booth. Would come back again

From the greetings at the door to the wonderful food and excellent service, Brighton Côte never disappoints. The gluten free menu was extensive! Thank you, Côte!

Food was delicious as usual - the choice is always excellent. We also had Saint Germaine gin and tonics that were delicious. All staff encountered were extremely friendly and helpful. Lovely experience as usual.

Your service is second to none. The value for money is exceptionally good and the best French food you can get this side of the Channel. The wine was delicious and complimented our meal very well. Thanks for everything and for making our evening so fun and enjoyable. Merci beaucoup!!!

Lovely meal and very good service plus great value for money. Our friends throughly enjoyed the restaurant as it was their first visit to a Cote Brasserie.

The food was delicious, the service was outstanding. It was our wedding anniversary and the table was decorated with flowers and we got champagne. I had an amazing time with my husband, I highly recommend! Isabel

Food was amazing (as it always is, never had a bad meal at Cotes), service was exceptional too. I came with my mother who has never eaten at Cotes before and she loved it too.

Fabulous staff! Great atmosphere. Good food. Happy to recommend. Great Brighton restaurant for all events and occasions. Great decor. Everyone in my party happy with experience.

Lovely dinner and great service all as usual at Cote. It's always so nice to go there.

Lovely meal. Catered well for both Coeliac and vegan diners. Only slight issue was it took too long for our drinks to be served at the beginning of the meal.

I had a lovely birthday lunch - the food and service were very good. I was with another friend who had recently had a birthday and the waitress agreed that we could both use the offer for a free drink. When the bill arrived , we had been charged for 4 drinks which she said would be free. It was easily sorted with no fuss

Fabulous x wonderful surroundings, great staff and delicious food x

Excellent food and superb service as usual. Can't be faulted. We had a special offer g & t as well. Will definitely recommend to friends. This is a marvellous restaurant in the heart of Brighton.

Great afternoon as always Nuno (sorry not sure how to spell it) was a great waiter food was good value for money, managers etc were all so lovely and we had a lovely afternoon. Thank you Louise

We all loved our food & the service was fine except the waitress kept calling everyone darling which might be fine in a working mans cafe but not in a decent restaurant, the occasion was my wife’s retirement do , so a nice upmarket experience was expected but the over familiar waitress down graded that experience,

Very Good service and great food make for a most enjoyable experience,although they were busy the service was quick the food hot and as always very tasty.

Good food and service as always. Service was prompt but not rushed.

Always consistently Good food, value for money, professional &?friendly staff & very good service. Every time! Can be noisy at busy times but if you choose your table wisely this isn’t a problem.

Valentines menu was overall really nice. There was a lack in vegetarian or fish option for the main course. The only option without meat was the risotto and I personally found it a bit overdone and it had too much pepper. Other than that starters and desserts were lovely!

Great service in a great restaurant!! Food and service lovely as always!

It was very busy and even though we’d booked a table we were sitting by the door squashed between the curtain covering it and the coat rack which was a shame. Excellent friendly service but I was disappointed at the lack of non meat dishes and having chosen one of the few things-spinach and mushroom crepes- I wasn’t impressed. It had been baked to a crisp and was so oily (butter and/or cream ?) that despite it being a pleasant flavour, meant I was unable to finish it . That said , all other food was delicious!

Staff really made our evening special. We got a window table & they put a Birthday balloon on the table & brought the cake out that I’d bought in. Waiter was really lovely 😊

Our favourite resturant, They were very busy but the staff were really good & the food was excellent. It was our 47th wedding anniversary & we were given a glass of champagne each. Really enjoyed it

Really lovely lunch at Cote, Brighton - great food and service - we will be back!
