Huge delay waiting for main course despite reminders. They knocked a chunk off the bill to compensate but overall this was a disappointing Cote visit.

Fantastic food, and value for money. Waiters need to relax a bit. When they are rushing around, there is a feeling of hurry-ness. But overall a very satisfied, and we look forward to our next visit.

Cote Brighton is my fav of those that I have visited thus far. Starter (Charcuterie Board) and main (Lamb Rump) were excellent, dessert (Crème Brule) was average as wasn't set enough and too runny for my liking. Staff were attentive but as we were a group of 7 we were seated upstairs with other larger groups which seemed to make them a little busy at times. Still the staff were very charming as always. Another thumbs up and recommendation for Cote Brighton!

Location is good. Booking with Quandoo works smoothly. Friendly greeting on arrival, is followed by flawless service and range of carefully chosen food served unobtrusively but efficiently with personal service. Several visits, both lunchtime and evening show a consistently high standard at a reasonable cost. Highly recommended.

We were looking forward to the Brighton Festival's evening concert of classical music which we booked months ago. The only place we felt would match the high quality of the performance was to start with equally good meal & drink in an elegant place, good service and pleasant atmosphere. The Cote Brasserie absolutely ticks all these boxes for us. We dine there regularly, whether it's a dinner or lunch, a family celebration or going out with friends. More than that, we find the same quality of food and service at this restaurant chain in other places we visit during a year, London, Farnham, Winchester, to name just a few. The online booking is quick and simple, the menu and all the latest additions such as May Specials can be browsed in advance. The staff is very well trained and very helpful. Thank you for looking after us.

This was the 4th time of visiting Cote in Brighton and 2nd time for a more business meal rather than personal. however ambience, staff and more importantly the food was as good as ever. Always a place to recommend for both friends and to business colleagues.

Not as good as usual service wise. Even though it wasn't crowded, they seemed a little light on staff that evening. Maybe as it was the night after the bank holiday....

The restaurant was extremely busy at 6pm. Initially we found the service to be slower than we normally experience. We waited some time from being seated to actually being able to order a drink or food. Having ordered wine we waited much longer than arriving diners around us for the wine to arrive. Then, surprise the garlic bread arrived as a starter quickly followed by the main whilst we were still eating it. You can never fault the food here and it is always busy but tonight the service didn't meet expectations.

Lovely building, great location opposite the Corn Exchange, choice of menu for everyone, even Grandma was happy, as were the 9 year olds on a busy Children's Parade day in Brighton. Pea and bean risotto on the kids menu and proper home made chicken goujons make a thoroughly welcome change. Why can't more places do a decent kids menu like this? And my steak tartare was well seasoned plus the usual extra Tabasco, Worcestershire Sauce and pepper for me to do my own thing. We'll be back en famille.

The cote Brasserie Brighton. Very friendly staff and great well cooked food. This has become my regular first choice pick of 'restaurants' in Brighton and Hove. My recommendation is make sure you leave space for a desert as the crumble is so good! If you fancy something a little different then why not do what I do; On a warm summers day I wake early in the morning skip breakfast to take a walk along the seafront. Weave through the lanes where the shops are setting up for the day. Then finish of at Côte where I take a morning seat in the window and enjoy crepes with fruit, ice cream and a fresh cup of coffee while watching Brighton wake up for the day. Maybe if you do I will see you there, so a good morning to you. But please leave a space for me in the window. Bx
