Côte Brighton restaurant

Good quality food and service. Drink prices are a bit steep but the food offerings are very acceptable. Booking online is easy. Good Brighton restaurant.

Great atmosphere, great food, friendly service. No feeling of being rushed, very attentive. Location in center of Brighton close to theatre and other bars, excellent.

Really nice friendly place with great food and prompt service

First time I’ve been to this restaurant and decided to choose cotes for a birthday treat with partner for dinner / lunch. Was disappointed to have the food served and a black hair was on the plate in plain sight. I advised the waitress and she replaced the food. I did expect a bit more from an up market restaurant. The service by the staff was overall good but being served the food with a thick black curly hair on (when I’m bald man) really wasn’t acceptable.

Côte never fails to be a consistently good value for money restaurant.With a good atmosphere.beautifully situated near the North !anes.Very pleasant waiting staff.A good all round dining experience.

Fantastic service as always. Food was lovely! Thankyou. We will be coming back again very soon. The restaurant and toilets were very clean also. Lovely evening.

It was a little rushed. I have been to the Cotes in Bristol and Cribbs and they were much more relaxed and elegant. Food was average and and one dish was returned as cold. Quickly replaced but just felt it was a bit of a production line. On the plus side they do have a low sulphate wine one of the few restaurants addressing this allergy.

I always bring my visitors to Cote as I have always had an excellent experience there, we often have our family celebrations there also, food is always top notch as is the service plus the ambience is very pleasant.

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left it was a lovely experience. Billy, our waiter was extremely attentive and had a lovely sense of humour. The quality of the food and wine were superb. The atmosphere is always great. So we'll definitely be back. We just wish we had a Cote in St leonards/Hastings area!!. How about it?

Friendly service, good value food and drinks, lovely atmosphere and space.

Brilliant food everything you could want to eat it gets very busy so I would suggest you book a table,the new year menu is fabulous you won't find a better menu anywhere

Disappointed this time round. The last time I had the Breton chicken and the duck it was cooked perfectly and the service was good too. However, this time round it was not so pleasant. We requested a table not near the door or directly in front. Although, it was a quiet evening only a third of the tables were taken up however we were given a table right next to the door. Although, there was the curtain to divide it was what we had requested not to have but was given. We accepted to be polite like you do at times. We ordered the calamari and steak tartare. The calamari was soaked in oil and didnt taste all that fresh. For mains the Breton chicken and the belly pork was not cooked well either. The last time I came which was during the day the Breton chicken was cooked perfectly. It smelt, looked and tasted fresh and cooked well glistening a golden brown. This time it was completely flat, no nice aroma and smaller in size. When it came to the table the lady said the weekend chicken. I told her we had ordered the Breton chicken from the a la carte menu and not the weekend chicken on the specials menu. She merely said it's the Breton chicken without any further explanation. The garlic butter was missing from the plate. So we asked for it. When it came to us no apology was given for it being missing. The fries from both Breton chicken dishes were fried more than once and were hard. It was visibly obvious. The pork belly was burnt and overdone. This meant it was hard and chewy rather than crispy and tender. I could not cut it even with the knife given. We didn't want to make a scene thinking maybe the chef may be having a bad day. Day chefs and night chefs were obviously different people. And being a sunday evening. The creme brulee was served cold. Not nice at all. It was obvious that things being slack was present in the restaurant aswell as in the kitchen. The high standards which you usually get on this particular evening were simply not there. At the end of the meaL we did mention it to the waiting staff but they didn't seem to care. Maybe thinking we were after a discount. We were not. We enjoy this place but sadly tonight was a let down. One thing I find rather deceiving is on the bill. The total inclusive of service which is optional is highlighted and larger in size and the total without service charge is small like the rest of the bill. As the service is optional you would think it only fair and right that this is highlighted in the correct way eg without the service charge added being larger as the service is optional. Many probably would not look at the bill and simply pay the larger amount because its bigger. Perhaps, this is why they have highlighted it this way. It's very deceptive and sneaky. The last time we paid the manager at the till he put in the inclusive service charge on the card terminal without even asking us whether we would like it included! If it's optional then it's our choice not his so were not impressed that he did it automatically without asking and without notifying us that he did so. Rather sneaky. Not impressed and most likely will not return at all. So sad.

a brilliant ambiance in a fantastic vibrant part of brighton zoe and hunor were absolutely fantastic looking after the grandchildren admirably all the courses were on time and to an impeccably high standard I cannot recommend this chain high enough having dined at haywards heath and Horsham on numerous occasions always fantastic from start to finish nothing is too much of a problem great value for money

Late evening meal after going to a concert - excellent quality food,with a good choice and courteous welcoming staff. We have eaten here many times and it is consistently good. Very busy and therefore quite noisy but as we were there at the end of the evening it quietened down during our meal.

Great welcome, wonderful waiter, fabulous food, quaffable wine, bargain bill. What is not to like? How can i make it up to twenty five words.

Great food and atmosphere every time. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. . . . . . . . . . . . .

Friendly greeting when arrived and given a choice of tables. Expert recommendations about menu and wine options. Friendly yet professional staff. Highly recommend for an evening meal.

A really enjoyable evening. Food was lovely and served hot. The staff were friendly and attentive, but not overbearing. Would recommend the Cote to anyone.

Good service, great atmosphere and most of all excellent food.Cote doesn't feel like a chain, feels like an individual restaurant. The wine list is very reasonable in price.

Always a great experience, good food, well trained staff and exceptional service. We eat here often and have never been disappointed, will be coming back again and again.

We had the most super meal from the set menu amazing value, beautifully cooked, excellent wine. The service is always professional and the restaurant immaculate

Great location as opposite the Dome Brighton Very customer service especially as the restaurant was pack for a Friday sadly no vouchers expected that I overheard on another table buy nevertheless difinately return

We had a lovely evening, the food was great and the ambience very good. but what made the night was how professional and lovely the staff were. Will definitely go again.

Just a very good atmosphere, busy and lively and ideal for a meal before the theatre. Creme Caramel is superb! Service fast and most attentive.

The food was good. There is always a buzz at Côte as it's always busy! The staff were friendly. There was a Good menu selection.

Slightly too much garlic in my Hake dish and because the restaurant was so busy we had to wait for bill but otherwise excellent experience.

First class service and excellent food as always. Hard to beat for value for money. Always lovely menus with excellent choice. I would recommend to anyone

Tasty food and good ambience, but the service could have been a little more friendly. I would like a few more vegan dishes on the menu.

Always lovely tasty food & great service. Does get very busy at lunch time but quieter after 2.30. Very nice restaurant overlooking The Brighton Dome.

Great food and a really great service its always very reasonably priced. Took the kids to celebrate a and they loved it. Perfect family meal out

Consistently good food served well. Slight delay with dessert and champagne not charged for - not our request but an appropriate gesture from the staff. Always enjoy eating here.

Good value three course lunch as usual. Upstairs not too busy (but busy enough) and quieter than downstairs. The only problem on this visit was the very slow welcome at the door. Normally it is much better.

A very enjoyable eating experience. This was our first visit to Cote, using birthday vouchers, and we were not disappointed. We booked online, were given a choice of tables and served efficiently. We had a good choice from the lunchtime set menu and our needs were well attended to- even accommodating my alternative request of cheese to a sweet dessert.

We had a very nice lunch, nice bottle of wine. A lovely experience. The staff were polite and helpful, and we will certainly go back.

Tables too crammed together; more space would improve the experience, giving room to get in and out as well as not having to overhear your neighbours' conversations.

Excellent value for money, food and service both very good. Good variety and choice of food and wine even on the early bird menu. Thanks

Great service, great food, as always. Lovely decor and ambience. Always buzzing whatever time of day or night! Will definitely be be back! Thank you!

Great service and food as always. Love the wine selection. It's also a beautiful building. I will be come soon I am sure. Maybe over Xmas!

Typically pleasant Cote experience. The only minor gripe was that one of our fillet steaks (mine) had a streak of gristle running all the way through. My wife's was perfect. Such is the nature of meat I suppose.

'Classy' atmosphere, good quality food, excellent service. Three course lunch is very good value, portions not massive but very tasty and satisfying. Would recommend it to anyone.

Great service and food excellent, mussels particularly good. A family lunch for my daughter’s birthday, a complimentary glass of presecco for her was a lovely touch.

Service was very slow and not up to your usual standard. We sat down at 12.45 as booked and we had to miss coffee and chase for our bill to leave by 2.30 for our Dome concert.

We had a fantastic evening here, the atmosphere was great. The waiter was really good and the food was amazing. I would highly recommend this restaurant!

Lovely atmosphere and great food. Service polite and friendly I would recommend this restaurant to friends. Location in Brighton close to the theatre. Excellent steak tartare and nicoise salad and tuna fish tasty.

As usual a wonderful meal with excellent, friendly and attentive service. Can’t recommend Cote highly enough - and this comes after dozens of visits over the years.

Fabulous for breakfast lunch or dinner..Food always good and service wonderful. One of my favourite places to eat in Brighton. Looking forward to my next visit.

Having dined many times at Brighton Côte, I was rather disappointed this time. The staff were fantastic as ever but the noise levels were horrendous mainly due to a large party of ladies celebrating a birthday. I literally could not hear my friend sitting with me all evening and this simply spoiled the evening. I also ordered the November cassoulet special and found it far too dry. I will return but was very disappointed on this occasion

My wife and I very much enjoyed our meal and the wine was acceptable - and also a bonus . As always the staff were friendly and efficient .

Excellent! lovely food, great location and lovely atmosphere. Staff very accommodating. Met some friends by accident in a pub nearby and they managed to seat us together which was lovely.

It was ok, had better food in the Cote in Lewes. Ordered Cote de beouf medium rare and it came well done. Service was good though.
