Côte Kensington

This is a great French restaurant in Kensington Court, London W8. It has a really good menu and wine list and the staff are very professional and friendly. I have been to this restaurant many times now and it is very difficult to find any fault with this highly enjoyable dining experience.

We arrived and was placed on a unsuitable table, but once we asked to be moved it was not a problem. Lovely staff especially the general manager.

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.

We had a large group of 34. The food and restaurant was ready when we arrived. Manager, assistant manager, and the servers were delightful. the food was magnificent--one of our party said "that was the best dessert I have ever had." We LOVED Cote and will visit again.

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.

We was a party of 16 at a cousins get together. We were made very welcome by the all the staff. We had an excellent relaxed meal, no rush, so a very enjoyable evening. We haven’t been to Cote Kensington before, but it was certainly up to the standard we had expected from other Côtes we have been to. I would be more than happy to repeat the evening again.

Everything was pretty perfect - as we have now come to expect at Cotes! Thank you.

Very good value food and thoughtful service in pleasant surroundings.

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

Busy time led to wrong cooking instructions on my steak and because of the crowd we were squeezed in by the bar. Not really appropriate or acceptable. This was however an unusual situation given our strong history with the chain. This too will pass.

As always a very enjoyable evening. The food was your usual very good standard and the service was excellent. All the staff are extremely pleasant and welcoming.

Perfect meal, with good atmosphere after a show. We had a quick stop by with our 7 year old. Who was also made to feel very welcome. Good food & drinks menu for both us and our son. Will definitely go back

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.

The food is good value and the staff are friendly and welcoming. However the restaurant is very noisy with a poor acoustic, which detracts a little from the overall experience.

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

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.

Charming and attentive staff, excellent food in a very relaxed atmosphere.

Staff were very friendly and welcoming. The StGermain gin and tonic was delicious, made by Anna Marie. We enjoyed our pissaladiere with anchovies then the Fish Parmentier and the chicken with mushroom sauce and would order that again. The only negative was that our table was very close to ones either side so we had to pull our chairs right in. We’ll certainly be back though!

Love going to Cote! The service is always the best and food is so delicious!

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

The on line booking system worked well and was easy .The staff were very friendly and welcoming and gave us the table my guests prefer and usually have. The food was really delicious and the service of the starters and main courses quick. The coffee ordered was much slower to come but by this time the restaurant was much busier. I paid at reception to save time which went smoothly. I considered that, in view of the location of the restaurant and quality of food, it was exceptional value for money. My overall impression is of delightful staff and delicious food and I will look forward to further visits.

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

Truly a great French restaurant! We are often there for lunch (love chicken walnut salad) or dinner (our favourite is roasted seabass). We are happy to have it in our neighbourhood.

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 service. My guest did not like her appetizer and the server was happy to exchange it for something else. Always a great dining experience at Côte. Happy to be a frequent diner.

The food as always was excellent and good value, and the service exceptional. I was presented with two free glasses of kir royale because it was close to my birthday, and a charming birthday card with a chocolate truffle!

The staff were extremely attentive and the food was excellent. We had a limited time as we were off to the theatre and the staff were very accommodating and the service was really quick.

On this occasion service excellent but food not as good as usual. The moules mariniere were very poor indeed and when I said so nothing was done. Why ask one if the reply is ignored? The noise level was rather high as well so talking was difficult. This is not one of the best Cotes.

We had a lovely meal . The six of us had a lovely time. It was a very suitable end to a lovely day. The service was excellent. Staff were friendly. Thank you.

Good food, not superb service. - slow and forgetting things, staff rotation doesn’t help. Outside places should be more comfortable. Overall stayed happy with the experience

Very busy Sunday lunch time, but the staff worked very hard and we had an excellent 3 course meal within 2 hours. The complimentary drinks were most welcome.

A lovely atmosphere in the restaurant. Although a busy Saturday the restaurant never felt over crowded or the staff rushed. Food was all lovely and the complimentary G&T delicious!

Service was very good and staff were attentive. Food served quickly and overall was decent. Price was relatively reasonable (considering it was Kensington). Fries do deserve a special mention as they were amazing!

A most enjoyable meal in a warm atmosphere with first class caring staff and making my wife and I feel welcome. Will visit again when next in the area.

Bright and buzzy atmosphere. Friendly and helpful staff. Excellent food

Late Sunday lunch here. We were shown to our table by Albert who looked after us splendidly during our stay. A really cheerful chap who really made our meal special. The food was perfect and our waitress Sylvia made sure all our needs were catered for with a huge smile. All in all a very enjoyable afternoon. Thankyou

Good food, poor service, back room smelt so strongly of fish we had to move.

5 of us dined at the Kensington branch. We have been regular visitors over the years and it never fails to please. The Prestige Menu is very good value, as is the pre-theatre lunch and dinner offer. Have been to other branches in London and they have all been very good. Love Cote!

Exellent location just off the High Street. Good value 3 course fixed price meal and very good (friendly whilst professional) service. A very enjoyable pre-concert meal.

Very nice atmosphere and setting. Good offers with set menus and good size portions. Food was very good and the service was at a good speed, we had to go to the Royal Albert Hall after and they made sure we could leave on time.

Excellent food and service. Our waiter really paid attention to the fact that we didn’t have much time

Superb ! Easy to order a table on line using one of e mail links that had come through a few weeks before entitling me to a free cocktail! It was lovely. Excellent prompt service provided by very experienced and professional staff, we were going on to the Royal Albert Hall and it’s a great place for a pre show dinner. Food and choice of drinks was extentsive and really tasty and well presented. My only slight criticism would be that perhaps some of the tables are a little too close together? Though it was a cosy table for two was just a little cramped. Otherwise fantastic in every way excellent value for money. Will definitely be back!

Absolutely great evening. Booking for 15 persons and the staff were all on point. Friendly, attentive and accommodating to all our needs. Food was amazing too. Definitely no complaints here and will be repeating for future events.

Super lunchtime at Cote Brasserie, never fails to deliver no matter which restaurant we are in. We have a group who have very varied tastes and the menu suits us perfectly. Lovely staff and delicious food. Thank you.

As usual the food was excellent although the service was not as good as normal. We were charged twice for the deserts and after waiting 25 minutes for the deserts and chasing up the waiter, we gather that the order was put through again hence being charged twice. This is very unusual service for Cote - especially the Kensington branch which we frequent on a regular basis. Pepe came to our rescue with his professionalism and excellent customer service and I cannot recommend Pepe highly enough. Thank you Pepe - you are one in a million and a massive asset to Cote.

The food was good. I tried the April Special, baked haddock. Delicious. But thinking about it later, I realised I hadn't seen the promised wilted spinach. Did they forget to put it on my plate, or was it an invisible ingredient in the sauce? I'd love to know. I like the restaurant and have been there several times. I think it would be even more pleasant were they to install something on ceiling and walls that absorbs the sound.

Good service, good food. Thank you! Sometimes restaurant is noisy when full but Tuesday nights are good for those who like a less vigorous ambience. We, a table of 8, appreciated that.
