Côte Basingstoke

We have done as a couple and a large group and felt very looked after. The food is lovely and the staff so helpful. My mother-in-law chose Cote brasserie for her 86th birthday because she enjoyed it the first time

1st time we have visited your restaurant and after eating here we will definitely be coming back. Food was top notch and the staff were friendly and attentive.

We had a fantastic meal yesterday, despite the restaurant being extremely busy, the staff were efficient and attentive. Will definitely be returning and would recommend to anyone

Great service. Great food. A small mistake with dessert not arriving time But rectified with taking that and coffeez off of ouf bill and free kir royals on our next visit x. Would highly recommend

Busy on a Friday night but courteous, efficient and friendly. Very good food and choice of menu. We enjoyed seeing something different from other restaurants we have visited in Basingstoke.

Lovely evening. Food very good. Bit slow at times but that was more than made up for by the offer of a free drink all round. Customer service was excellent.

We were invited to sit immediately next to a large Hen Party. We changed seats but it was still too noisy for normal conversation in there. The food just seemed bland. Well cooked, hot etc. Just unexciting. The service was good. My first choice meal wasnt available though. I would normally have had some cheese and Port to finish, but it was so unrelaxing in there I was actually quite keen to leave, so I sacrificed the dessert menu.

As always the service and the food were excellent. We both enjoy the French style food and ambiance. We will definitely visit cote brasserie again.

Food was amazing as always and staff were great but it took forever to receive our bill

This was our first time at Cote Basingstoke, having visited both St Martin's Lane and Covent Garden branches many times. We were not disappointed. Food, service and ambience excellent. We will return.

Not as friendly waiter as previous visits but still had an enjoyable lunch. Ordered coffees which didn’t come so after 20 minutes or so had to ask where they were

Great menu and service. Cote has a good atmosphere, it's easy to forget that you are in Basingstoke town centre. Just had my 3rd visit, and now looking forward to the next.

I have made several visits to the Basingstoke restaurant and always received good service and excellent food. On this occasion there was a slight problem with wrong meal being served but the staff dealt with it calmly and professionally.

Great tasting food from a wide menu and excellent service. As we arrived at 6pm, we benefited from the fixed price menu options which offer excellent value for money (five of us dined for less than £120). The only thing preventing six stars was the rather loud ambient noise from other diners. The venue could perhaps put up some sound absorbing panels or soft coverings to lessen the noise level. In this instance most of the noise came from one party and the sound levels dropped appreciably once they had departed.

We enjoyed our pre Concert meal,the food was very good. Also the service was excellent.We are looking forward to our next visit in the near future.

Saturday night was my first trip to Côte with my girlfriend who has been wanting to visit there since you opened. We had an amazing experience, Salvadori (I hope that's correct) our host was incredible, full of knowledge about the food and the wine, and very attentive to our needs. The food and wine themselves were truly magnificent, and we will definitely be returning for sure. Thank you very much!

The food was absolutely delicious, we had Moules and Fougasse to start, followed by Sirloin Steak and Cod Goujons for main. We couldn’t fault it in any way. The staff were really helpful and friendly and the restaurant was very clean, Only negative was, perhaps there could be slightly more space between tables, you are very close to the table next to you. But other than that, amazing evening and would happily go back again.

Excellent menu and all very good except we were sat right next to the till, bar and waste bin counter, hence the low score on noise level.

Fabulous food and service, we’ll be back. Thank you. Waiter brilliant fun and even sang Happy Birthday plus added a candle to our friends dessert. Lovely offers if you sign up to the newsletter

Lovely meal. Took a while to be served.run out of cloudy lemonade and Diet Coke

Food was excellent as usual - Service was also exceptional Salvatore is an amazing person and he makes you feel like at home - He always exceeds all expectations as an employee I would see him as a Manager without any doubt .

We generally enjoy eating at Cote. Probably the best restaurant in Basingstoke town centre. However on this occasion the chicken we ordered was overcooked, tough and very dry.

Food was very good though a bit expensive. Quite loud too as could not always hear what others in party were saying. Nice for special night out only.

Me and my friends thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I was celebrating my birthday so the server said she would give us 4 glasses of complimemtary kir royale. Me and my boyfriend said we dont drink but she bought 4 glasses anyway. In the end i paid the bill without looking at the items on the receipt only to find out they had charged us £ 19.50 for those kir royale. 5 stars for the server but 2 stars for overall experience cause the mess up cost me extra £19.50

Very nice breakfast/brunch with usual high standard of food and service. The only slight negatives were we asked for marmalade but received apricot jam and my wife’s tea was served in a half full, lukewarm pot. Anyway we enjoyed our meal

Food and service were excellent, staff very friendly and knowledgeable

Thank you for making our 20th Wedding anniversary so special. You have a great commitment to creating an amazing customer experience - its the little details which matter the most!

Excellent food and service up to the point of getting the bill. We were charged for a bottle of wine that was supposed to be free and had to wait more than half an hour to pay.

I love this restaurant. Always fantastic service and great food. Highly recommend the breakfast on a lazy weekend

We always have a good meal at Cote my daughter is coeliac so we know it's a safe place for her to eat.

Last visit staff could not do enough for me and my children - not so much this time, could be as were very busy but honestly took the shine off us going. We were so looking forward to it as finally a nice place for brunch on Basingstoke. Hopefully an improved service next time

Had a really enjoyable evening. The food was amazing and the service was spot on. I’d definitely recommend this restaurant. Thanks for a really great evening

Food and service was amazing, 3rd time visiting this restaurant and it’s always been faultless, staff are friendly and go above and beyond. A lovely place to eat on my 25th birthday. Thank you to cote and the Basingstoke team.

Too noisy. Like most restaurants who follow the current fashion if no body furnishings. It means there's nothing to muffle the noise. It's a shame as the food and service was excellent, as usual.

Delicious food with fabulous service. Visited twice in a week! Really nice restaurant with a great menu. So lovely to have this type of restaurant in Basingstoke, it’s always busy yet the service remains superb.

Lovely lunch time meal with friends, plenty of choice with normal menu and specials, staff were pleasant and we didnt feel hurried at all, already planning next visit

First visit, well impressed with service and quality of the food. Extensive food choice, very pleasant atmosphere. Visit was for a special occasion and we were not disappointed.

Breakfast was not so good. My husbands meal he said was cold. I agreed in part. The ham on the muffin was cold and the muffin was not a good quality one It was not soft and fluffy like they should be. This is my third visit. Last two visits were excellent.

Very nice meal although would say quite pricey . Staff very friendly and really good service . Waiting time for food was a lot quicker than expected. Second visit and a lot better than the first .

The staff are friendly and attentive, and the breakfast was of good quality. We also weren’t pressured to leave once we had finished our meal.

Since it opened Cote has become our go-to restaurant in Basingstoke for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Food and service is always excellent every time we visit. Staff are attentive even when busy and the atmosphere is typically French. Far better than any other restaurant in the town.

Great value, great service from nice people, great selection of food for all tastes, even the weirdos. Speedy too.

Best service we have ever had. Staff went above and beyond making it extra special. Food was fantastic and overall was a superb experience and we would highly recommend.

Great experience at Côte Basingstoke. Lovely staff welcoming and helpful and personable. Looked after my mum nicely on mother’s day. Will come back again for sure, highly recommend.

Food was good. Service was ok but got the distinct impression that we weren't working to the staff's timeframes. Also the staff were strangely disengaged; no eye contact or smiles and they kept cutting across our conversation to ask us things. I know it's difficult not to do that to some extent but there was no hesitation, just straight in with what they needed to say or do. Also, please (please!) consider bucking the trend for hard lines without any soft furnishings to buffer the noise. Very difficult in most restaurants to have a conversation and your restaurant is the same. It will put me off going to you again, particularly at busy times.

The food was lovely and the staff were very attentive and polite. There was nothing that was too much of an effort for them. Will definitely be returning.

Poor slow service. Had to wait a long time to even get a drink. food was variable, chicken parfait was good, prawns were not in the same sauce as per last visit. Duck was not as expected, it was very thinly sliced with no crispy skin and was served pink even though my guest asked for it well done, I suspect that it was only a fraction on the duck breast. The monkfish was cooked ok but the bacon was almost non existent the sauce underneath was cool not hot and was watery with canned slimy mushrooms. Dessert, I requested crepe in grand marnier, this was dreadful, the crepes were cold and the alcohol was still raw inedible. I was disappointed when I saw that my dessert was still on the bill. I will not be returning.

We had a great time service was particularly good. Food was brilliant.

Great evening! Attentive staff but not over the top. Food delicious, house wine very good, atmosphere relaxed.

Always excellent food and service. Big thumbs up! This place never disappoints.
