About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Great for brunch
  • Good for business meals
Nestled among historic streets, quirky shops and independent galleries, Côte Henley is perfectly located - whether it's for breakfast, a lunchtime treat, or a romantic dinner. Our welcoming, French restaurant is in the heart of Henley market town, close to the Thames riverside and only a three-minute walk from Kenton Theatre, making it a great choice for a pre-theatre dinner. We also have a secret courtyard garden hidden away from the hustle and bustle of the town, perfect for alfresco dining and long catch-ups in the sunshine.

    Delightful staff and friendly service. Ambience great and food decent but steak / poached egg dishes served were noticeably cool. Immediately replaced when we mentioned it with lots of extra chips. Pleasant lunch in a stylish place but not exceptional.

    4 of us for lunch on a Monday .3 Caesar salads with additional anchovies . Delicious & the tart Provençal was equally so . French fries were topped up when finished - nice touch ! Generous coffees to finish and we were elegantly served by two young men . Atmosphere always good in Côte Henley and something there for everyone’s appetite.

    Always a staple for a quick meal in Henley. The endless frites weren’t quite so endless this time—I suppose they switched the machine off because it was Henley Royal Regatta week and there were plenty of hungry rowers to feed! Still, a reliable stop and well worth a visit

    The service was excellent, and the staff were attentive and welcoming. However, the food quality and menu were a significant disappointment. I ordered the steak breakfast, and unfortunately, it was extremely poor. The dish did not match the menu description and was presented very plainly, with no vegetables or accompaniments such as spinach, tomatoes, or mushrooms. In today’s market, many customers are conscious of what they eat, and businesses need to adapt their menus to meet changing expectations. The menu itself was a major let-down, and the quality of the food did not justify the offering. Additionally, the eggs tasted watery and lacked flavour, which further affected the overall dining experience. While the service was outstanding, the food and menu require considerable improvement.

    Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the service, but we’re sorry the food and menu didn’t meet expectations—we’ll share your comments with our team for improvement.
