The inspiration for the fuss-free French food and the stylish interior comes from the traditional bistros of Paris. The emphasis is on simply, reasonably priced dishes and the menu includes familiar Gallic favourites like moules marinières, steak frites with skinny frites, duck confit and the Côte dessert speciality, crème caramel. Côte is ideal for a quick business lunch, mid-week dinners with friends, and pre-theatre meals. We guarantee you’ll come back time after time.

We came with elderly parents whom are NOT easily pleased. They loved it- the food and the service, as were we. A team as delightful and efficient in such a busy environment is rare these days, and we were very grateful.

Very good food but after the starter we waited for so long to get the main course at least 30 min so we did not take a dessert

I've been at Cote a lot (though not the Brighton branch), but not for a while. I'm disappointed to see the menu has changed and a lot of my favourites were missing (e.g. salmon with ratatouille, mushroom crepe) and the dishes that replaced them weren't great. The portion of fries was very tiny. Sorry to say that I wouldn't particularly opt to go to it again.

The restaurant has a extremely noisy, there were diners watching their phone La with the volume turned right up.
We’ve dined at Cote many times in the past and unfortunately I’ll be looking elsewhere from now on. It took longer than usual to be offered even table water.
The options for soft drinks has reduced enormously and the food itself has also gone downhill. It used to few like quite a special dining experience but not any more

We have eaten at a number of Côtes around the country and they are always consistently good. The food was delicious and waitress was lovely. I had the pork belly as my main and would definitely recommend it.

Went Saturday to meet up with our Son for Brunch, on arrival they informed us that the walk in fridge had broken, and the place was very quiet.
Service was OK and they did their best given the constraints, food was good and great under the circumstances

Lovely meal, impeccable service and attention from staff without being intrusive. Portions are small but adequate. Food came very quickly to table and we thoroughly relaxed and enjoyed our meal.

We were made very welcome on this very busy night and seated quickly.
The waiter took drinks orders swiftly and left us plenty of time to chose our meal.

If you eat meat, try (if you haven't) the chicken parfait. So, so good. The food at Cote is always good, wherever you visit. It's surprising how consistent it can be. And so delicious too for the price.

Very nice meal at Cote, we sat outside in the garden and although the atmosphere was different to inside, it was much cooler outside. Our meal arrived piping hot and they allowed us to switch out the mash for veggies. The service was very good and we were left alone when we wanted but staff were always close by when needed.
Great restaurant and we will return

A lively buzzing place - a bit too noisy on a Sunday afternoon with lots of young children. But seated on LHS as you enter seemed to be more of an adult area. Service was very good. Steak frites - the steak was rather over done so very little pinkness in the middle. A bit of a rubbery offering To be honest. But anyway, the veg side orders and frites were fine. All in all, acceptable at the price level. We didn’t have desserts.

Our breakfast was a mess on this occasion. Firstly wrong breakfast for one of us was brought to the table. Both were taken away, 2 were brought back mine was fine, my partners had wrong eggs so his breakfast was taken back, was not letting them take mine. When his came back with the correct eggs the rest on the plate was dried out after being left under heat back in kitchen. They did the only right thing by not charging us. Very disappointing!!

Booked through open table and when we got there they didn’t have a table as they had a problem with open table booking so we had to wait but no apologies.
Food came within minutes of ordering and us being seated so was obviously not fresh. Must have been heated up. I had chicken which tasted like plastic and friend had steak which was really fatty. All in have had better meals at a weatherspoon pub. Both said we’d never return to this restaurant chain sadly.
