Côte Kensington

Popped up to Kensington to take my wife out for her birthday meal (she was working up there). Chose Cote because we enjoy the Covent Garden pre-theatre. So glad I did because, as usual, the food was excellent and a very reasonable price. Great service, efficient & friendly.

Delicious food from SpecialsMenu with complementary gin & tonic cocktails. Excellent, cheerful service from enthusiastic team and great atmosphere. A perfect way to spend Friday evening.

Very busy and no table despite reservation. Was left hanging around in the corridor for 10 mins. Food ok but have had better in other Cote restaurants. Service very unattentive as so busy. Star of the service was Ana Marie who went out of her way to offer excellent customer service. Men in Black aka manager not doing very much at all other than take diners to their table. Probably won’t go back as too many other choices in High Street Ken but big shout out to Ana Marie.

Excellent service and food. It was busy but didn’t wait too long. Very polite and friendly staff. Loved the tomato soup and boeuf en croute.

Excellent meal and good service in a very friendly and comfortable atmosphere. Disappointing that we were charged for the much promoted March Gin aperitifs! Otherwise, as always a great dining experience at Cote in Kensington.

Great food, good service, great value. Our fifth visit and it never disappoints.

The Prestige menu is excellent value and the food of a great standard with decent sized courses. I will definitely be returning soon rather than later.

Very friendly service, excellent food, and good value for money. A very enjoyable meal. My tart au citron was delicious. Tangy lemon and thin, crisp pastry. Thankyou.

As an elderly widow, your kind offer of the delicious chocolate mousse was much appreciated and enticing .Booking online was easy and successful, a booster for the morale of one who is not too skilled at IT work. .A very warm welcome was lovely,especially being alone on Easter Sunday. Staff were courteous and efficient. The Risotto Verde was wonderful, great flavour and most appropriate for a Springtime Lunch. The Chocolate Mousse was outstanding, followed by a perfect latte. The Cote at Kensington is my favourite, spacious, always well maintained, will return soon to my table by the window. Thank you for my Happy Easter experience.

Great good at a great price and lovely service. I honestly don't think I get better food at gastro pubs, and many of the so called 'top end' London restaurants.

Always delicious food and super friendly helpful staff - it was very busy and i think they were understaffed but coped admirably! Thank you as always We will be back again ( we probably come once a month anyway!!)

Good food and good service always an enjoyable experience at Cote

It was a busy evening so the service was a little slower than usual but was excellent as always. Food was well presented, excellently cooked and tasted wonderful. All six of us had a different main course and they were all delicious.

Our entire experience from booking right through to leaving was excellent. I thought the staff were incredibly efficient and friendly, and given that the restaurant has to cater for a sudden rush of people going to concerts at the Royal Albert Hall, they do it so well. The food was amazing and authentically French. It doesn’t feel like a chain restaurant. My only criticism would be that the wine we were given as the complementary wine for signing up to the newsletter was not of a good enough quality for the restaurant. It was virtually undrinkable.

Excellent service and meal. The whole experience was great and we had a thoroughly enjoyable meal. Staff were excellent and the food was incredible. Would highly recommend.

Our waitress was lovely and very attentive. The meal we had was very enjoyable.

Fantastic establishment! Great last minute find with quality food and service.

Excellent value which means tasty dishes, well presented and prepared at an affordable price. Service was very good. Very pleasant waiters. Thank you.

Staff were excellent and could not do enough for our party of 4. Food delicious as always ....we will be back soon. Thank you fo a lovely eating experience.

The food was amazing and the staff were so nice. I will definitely be back and would recommend this to anyone looking for a fantastic night out!

We were placed at a table right next to the waiter's station and were disturbed by the constant chatter and clattering of wine glasses. The division between the station and out table was constantly being bumped into by staff and it was not a pleasant experience. I have eaten in Cote in many venues in many towns and this was the worst.

As ever, a lovely atmosphere at the Kensington Cote. An imaginative menu suiting a wide range tastes and pockets. The Prestige Menu offers really good value for money and can be used at any time (unlike the set menu). The a la carte menu is always available. The service was initially very good although we did have to wait rather too long for the bill after the dessert (a small point).

Food at its consistently high standard even though a full busy Friday evening. Staff were welcoming and attentive. I don't need more from a restaurant.

Calamari starter good, asparagus risotto over-cooked and tasteless, peach crumble truly awful, no flavor and literally boiling hot. Drinks very expensive. Pleasant staff and good service.

This is the best spot for lunch in Kensington. It's a deal, it attracts a great crowd, the staff team could not be more helpful and lunch is delicious.

The food was good quality and the set menu is excellent value for money. No problem with paying for the extras as that was expected. It was quite busy but the service was very attentive and the ambience was good ( not too noisy). Only slight gripe is the price of drinks, £9 for a glass of wine was rather more than I would have expected for the quality.

Lovely staff, friendly host, amazing food, manager brooding on girls from the bar was a bit unsettling and unprofessional. Would come back again. Overall great cozy place!

Great food and lovely, friendly staff in one of the better Cote branches in London. Had a relaxed feel to it and didn't feel packed in like some Bistros in London. Would definitely recommend and will visit again.

Always good but tonight particularly good! Maybe it’s the June special châteaubriant which tipped the scales. Delicious dinner and great service. Highly recommended

Great food, really good choices will fantastic staff. First time at this restaurant but will be going back in a few weeks.

Excellent food, quality and service, as always. Cote is always great for a meal or just a drink. My friends and I are regulars. Love it!

The lamb shank was just just what was needed in such cold weather and cooked just as I like it. We had a very nice bottle of wine on the house which went down very well after Dry January! Although we were an hour early we still managed to have our favourite table.

Food was slow to arrive. Staff going through the motions.

An enjoyable eying with excellent food, the chateaubriand steak was superb.

Buzzing warm ambience, consistently good food and value for money. Excellent staff, always welcoming even very busy.

Lovely lunch - would have been perfect if the white wine we chose had been chilled ! Apart frim that service was great ! Food always the same good standard

Good meal as usual, BUT..... Just one problem as some of my veg was lukewarm. I did mention this when paying, but not whilst eating (as I didn't have time for a hold up if it was sent back) They apologised, but perhaps something more could be done when the food is slightly under par? Discount for next time perhaps?

We always eat in a Cote restaurant when in London. This branch was close to the Royal Albert Hall and was perfect for a pre concert meal. We were greeted by Alberto who was extremely friendly and courteous. The food was excellent as usual and the restaurant had a nice atmosphere. We will definitely visit again.

Alberto (I believe that's the name of the amazing manager) made our evening very special with his amazing hospitality, thoughtfulness and kindness. The waitresses were very helpful, smiley and lovely too dispite it being a very busy evening! We had a lovely evening and left very happy! Thank you so much!!!! Kristina and Lewis

Great food and fabulous service lovely wine choice. We were a large group and nothing was too much trouble the maitre d was a hoot and just made our night

Just Brilliant ! We loved it so much so we returned the next day. Staff great, food excellent and good value.

As always, great quality food, ambience and delightful waiting staff. Recently went to highly rated Brasserie at twice the price and half the quality and value. And next door to a Cote.

It was excellent, no complaints. Food was well cooked and service was very efficient. Happilly recommend to anyone who wants good value for money food

Excellent food and service. Set menu is great value and ideal for a pre theatre meal. We were well looked after and will definitely be returning for a meal again soon.

Excellent food and service. I have been to other outlets and will keep coming back to Cote. Lovely starters pate, calamari, crab mayo. Superb mains cooked perfectly, roast duck, beef, seafood permentier, etc. Service was perfect too, patient and helpful. Please maintain the high standards.

Visited Cote Kensington on a Saturday evening with our family of five - had a great evening - food & drink lovely - our waiter was excellent - definitely book again when in Kensington area

A prompt and delicious lunch - very friendly service, well done Cote!

Wonderfully welcoming and happy Maitre D, which obviously makes for a happy staff too as everyone seemed upbeat in their work. Lovely meal, will def visit again.

We went for early dinner before we headed to see a show in Royal Albert Hall. The service was great and we didn't have to wait long. We had 3 set meal plus a bottle of wine. Was a fantastic night for pre-Valentine.

Excellent menu, quality food with charming French accent. You always feel like at home in extremely friendly atmosphere. Staff is very attentive and helpful. One of the best places in London to have a Sunday lunch with your family or/and friends.
