Love this place for service, quality, and value. It’s perhaps the best breakfast in town, a real treat on Sundays. Newspapers to hand, plus complimentary Carafes of Cote water. The interior is beautiful, and lovely seating by the windows overlooking the Busy Brighton Dome opposite (book to ensure you get these). The Full English, and others cooked breakfasts are £10.50 which include a fresh fruit juice, and a hot drink, I always go for the wonderful Pot of English breakfast tea with an extra tea bag. The breakfast arrive carried high by waiting staff on trays, and the added bonus is the proper linen napkin. Like the staff, the manager Jules is friendly and professional

Everything very good although as it was a Birthday party I think it would have been nice if there could have been some small gesture towards the occasion, especially with such a pricey bill.

Always enjoy Brighton Cote. Delicious food and good value. Its a big restaurant and tonight it was surprisingly almost empty so lacked the usual brasserie bustle. Post New Years lull, I guess. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for the brasserie feel at a good price.

Food and wine was excellent and so was the service. The only criticism is that a12.5% gratuity, albeit optional, is included in the bill as presented to the customer. I would much prefer an 'opt in' arrangement. It is embarrassing to have to say to a waiter/waitress that you do not want to pay as much as 12.5%.

Unfortunately most of the choices that we and our two guests chose had ran out. Fortunately everyone was in a forgiving mood and we managed to laugh it off when we all ordered the sea bream and we offered to eat anything that you had left???! And told the waiter that if he came back with a fishing rod in his hand we would know that there was no fish either! Apart from this the staff were as accommodating as they could be, it was the kitchen that failed us.

The meal was delicious. Just we weren't informed properly about the bill. She should tell to the customers that they will pay already a tip together with the payment and after when the customer knows that can decide if he wants to give more tips in cash to them.

Food great. Staff friendly. Service slow (& several of the things we asked for never appeared - and in the case of one beer they made it on to the bill but not to the table). Building lovely. Ambience great. So... a mixed experience: nowhere near as good as Cote in Teddington, St. Martin’s Lane or Hayes’ Galeria. But Cote is still Cote and it’s so much better than so many of its competitors, so we’ll undoubtedly be back.

A disappointing family visit to Church Road Brighton for breakfast. Poor service from the start and it took ages to get our drinks and the 2 black coffees arrived tepid? Staff milling around but not doing too much. Two salmon items on the breakfast menu were not available and we had picked Cote especially because of the menu! Food was good but poor planning by both chef and manager. A very cheerful goodbye by staff but the service did not live up to that image and this being the second time Cote has let us down none of the party will be recommending this branch.

My wife specifically ordered her burger well done yet it was raw in the middle. This was after having to send the frites back as they were cold. They employ enough staff: once the food is cooked and ready, get it to the table!

Good food, helpful, friendly & attentive staff. Just be careful, the staff will only get a small percentage of the Optional Service charge so if you want the staff to get all of it ask to have it taken off the bill & pay them personally for any tips you think they've earned.

Nice evening at Cote. We arrived and when by chance we mentioned it was my sister's birthday two glasses of Prosecco suddenly appeared at the table. No pressure to have multiple course either. Staff friendly and helpful.

We've had some very different local breakfast experiences over the last four Saturdays, each most enjoyable for different reasons although today's Formule breakfast at Cote came out on top in spite of fierce competition. My wife chose Eggs Royale (with Hollandaise served on the side as requested), I went for Full English with scrambled eggs. We also enjoyed fresh Apple/Orange Juice, a Latte, plentiful Breakfast Tea and chilled water. Food and service both utterly faultless.

Had an absolutely awful waiter. He argued over what we wanted to order from the various menus, couldn't open a bottle of wine, kept staring off into the distance, didn't write down our order of starters and main courses and we ended up with one main course missing. Husband complained to the Manager and told him that we wanted the waiter changed. Manager was extremely helpful and we got a discount, however, the meal was on Boxing Day and part of our parents' Christmas present so we felt embarrassed. Wasn't a pleasant experience.
