Côte Brighton restaurant

Lovely attentive and friendly staff - extremely busy, but to be expected as was over a bank holiday - excellent quality food at a reasonable price

Service friendly. Food tasty. Caught the set menu so affordable. Bit of a wait for main course so had to eat quickly as going to theatre.

Great food as always and amazing service from the staff, who really made my daughter's birthday special. We all enjoyed our evening thoroughly. Thank you!

Cote Brighton always offers great value, with great food and a great service. What's not to like on a balmy May evening with great friends?

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.

Reasonably good, but I did not enjoy this visit as much as other visits. First we were offered to be seated upstairs, it was extremely hot up there and quite dark, which would have been ok f it hasn't been v light out. They moved us as soon as I requested. Restaurant is pleasant and spacious. Downstairs we were seated right opposite the door, good as cooler but had a queque of people to our side. The service was ok but not especially attentive. The gluten free menu is good but the dish I chose, poulet grille was quite plain and there was an extra charge for a sauce, which was a nice wild mushroom and creme fraiche one, but for some reason this was just included on the ordinary menu. Desserts were good. I have enjoyed other visits more but generally like this place.

Was greeted and seated. Drinks order taken. The food order was taken following delivery of our drinks. We didn't have to wait long to be served and the bacon and egg salad we had as starter was delicious. We followed this with the chicken dish with the beans, olives and tomato. To end the meal we just enjoyed a coffee. Altogether a very enjoyable dining experience

I normally have an amazing time at Cote but the place was too hot , my pudding was soggy and we had to wait ages before our order was taken. Disappointing experience.

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

Fantastic food and excellent service with professional mannersz loved the buzzing ambience. Had a such a lovely evening, I will definitely go back to Cote restaurant again.

Lovely meal restaurant has such a great atmosphere really nice friendly staff - love going to Cote Brighton - food excellent and very reasonably priced! Got free glasses of Kir Royals through the Cote Reward card!

We have never been disappointed with the food and service here. It is also close to the theatre and shows nearby. Early dinners are very good value

Lovely meal at Cotes on Thursday evening. Service was great - friendly and attentive. Food was delicious and the atmosphere was buzzing. We loved it!

The service was very attentive and our meals were served promptly. The onion soup was excellent but asparagus was not presented well and a little unappetizing. Creme caramel and creme brulee were lovely but it was disappointing that apple crumble could not be served with custard. The vin maison was fine.

The staff were polite, cheerful and helpful and the food was superb. Two small points that dropped the score from 6 to 5, and those were 1) there was quite a wait between courses, which we could understand for the main course, as it was all freshly cooked and beautiful, but the dessert was a pre-prepared one, and could have been with us within minutes, especially as the restaurant was by no means full; and 2) there was a service charge on the bill, which we were quite happy to pay, as the staff had all been very good, but we would like to have had the choice of how much to reward them.

I have been to Cote on numerous occasions and the place never fails to impress. The service is friendly and efficient and the food is always great. The ambience is cool too!

Good value 2 course lunch menu. Food very good, but sadly we all found the portions too generous and had to leave some. Service rather slow - perhaps our server was new.

As ever the welcome was warm and the food delicious. We spent a very happy evening and were delighted by the new items on the starter menu. We'll be back soon!

Really nice , good food, good value and friendly efficient service . The restaurant was busy but as there is plenty of space between the tables it wasn't too noisy and didn't feel crowded. Our family all enjoyed their meals.

Very good food and excellent service, very good prices, great atmosphere and decor, will recommend very highly, to all my friends and family, thank you

All the food and the service was excellent. Would have been good to have olive oil dip with bread and olives. Otherwise, an excellent meal.

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.

I have been going to Cote Brighton for many years and have never had a bad meal. The staff are always polite and very helpful. if you do go have the apple crumble for desert its wonderful.

Our waiter was attentive, and gave us the best service. Thank you we will definitely go there again. The Pork belly with calvados is what I would recommend

It was May Bank holiday Sunday and inevitably the restaurant was very busy. Service was generally up to our expected standard but rather slow, probably because it was busy. We had to remind the waitress twice about our wine order. However the food was excellent as usual.

Consistently well priced and tasty food and good service. Always a good choice of restaurant in Brighton with a great atmosphere. Both my courses were from the 'May specials' and were excellent.

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.

Excellent service staff cannot do enough for you & the food is superb especially the steak. Really buzzing atmosphere highly recommend for couples or groups.

We always find that the food and service is very good, as was the case today. I had the same meal in London last week!

The formula breakfast was extremely good value including a hot drink, juice and a choice of cooked breakfast. Read the Sunday papers and all very pleasant

I usually visit cote en route to the theatre and enjoyed the food on the set menu. The service is always good, as is the food.

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.

I had eaten in Cote Brighton a couple of months ago and was so impressed with the food and service that I booked for lunch on my next visit to Brighton. I was reassured to find the food was excellent again together with polite and friendly service . Well done Cote!

Overall very enjoyable as always. Pleasant service and good food. Only downside was the starters menu which had dropped both my favourites since last visit.

Excellent food and service , great atmosphere .My only negative comment is that sitting upstairs lacks that cotes hassle and bustle that makes this restaurant a fantastic place to eat.Have eaten here many times and never had a bad meal .

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 had the usual wonderful meal at Cote in Brighton - the service is second to none, the atmosphere superb and the food sublime as always.

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.

As everytime we go, good food, good service and very good value for money. The menu has something for everyone and the monthly specials offer further choice. French brasserie cooking at its best.

Great lunch enjoyed by 7 of us, service very good and food excellent, we were not hurried and were left to enjoy our meal at our own pace, will definitely visit again very soon

Polka dot guy on the door was fabulous, and the food was great. Olives were a bit wrinkly though, like they had been in the bath a bit too long.

Cote is consistently good and is ideally located for a pre show dinner. The pre theatre deal is really good value and the place has a great ambience too.

Perfect venue for a long overdue catch up with friends. Familiar but well chosen and tasty menu. Good atmosphere despite being busy. We're regulars but it's a well recommended venue !

Good service and a good menu choice. I would definitely recommend it and would go there again. It is a lovely historical buildings in a central location.

Good meal and service as usual, but small portion of tuna disappointed. Front of house responded with comped desert which was appreciated, otherwise it would have been a six.

excellent food and great value lunchtime menu, restaurant was busy as usual. service staff were very polite and professional throughout. Good positive experience, will return

Excellent service & tasty food well presented. Although they were very busy, as usual in Brighton, our requirement to be away by 19.00 was met exactly.

Lovely food. Air conditioning needs adjusting - it was very warm A smile wouldn't go amiss! We would like to know more about the history of the lovely building

Beautiful building and room. Visited on a Sunday at 7pm and the ambience was great. Service was excellent and the food was beautifully cooked and served. Perfect for couples or families.

Nice - nothing to complain about, nothing to get particularly excited about either. Food was good but not great. Lovely room. Pleasant service. I would come again.
