Côte Kensington

We had to wait a very long time for the food, especially for the mains. Cutlery was dirty, we had to send it back, duck confit was super-dry and overcooked.

Staff t ricky to find the entrance but t once in it was good. FRiendly staff, good service not rushed even though restaurant was filling up. Very handy for Albert ball

This is a fantastic restaurant, the staff are wonderful and friendly always remembering us and taking good care of us. The food is consistently of the best quality and one of my favorite things is it is always hot. Cannot say enough about this restaurant would highly recommend.

Cote seems to offer a reliable formula. Can be a bit noisy sometimes - they turn down the lights so maybe they could turn down the music too? The trick is to try and find an area with a few soft furnishings and keep well away from the coffee machine that waiters insist on knocking seven bells out of before making a cup of coffee. My steak was excellent - perfectly cooked and the wine reasonable value at under £20. Staff a little distracted at times but generally good.

We had the set lunch and the two courses I ate were very good. My friend had three courses and she enjoyed them very much. The service was excellent. Will be back.

As always amazingly tasty food, especially that Cote is a chain restaurant. Great selections, quite decent French wines, friendly and efficient service. We frequent this restaurant often. Highly recommended!

Great food, great service. Good menu choice and all served quickly and super tasty. Lovely relaxed atmosphere. A super evening and will definitely go again.

Great service and a really excellent meal. Not rushed, and able to take your time over the meal. Would definitely return when next visiting London.

Food high quality for cost (good value). Wine list is decently priced. Nothing outstanding, but solid everyday choices... much like one finds in a neighbourhood french bistro. Service can be a bit variable, especially when restaurant reaches capacity. Staffing levels are optimized at 3/4 full.

Enjoyed the evening. Staff were most pleasant. The food was lovely. Generally the atmosphere was relaxed and sociable. It was reasonable priced especially for the area it is in.

Great value for Kensington. Staff were friendly and service was efficient. Will definitrly go back! The steak au poivre exceeded expectations and is particularly good value.

The food was great, the service was polite and attentive, the restaurant had a lively atmosphere (a little loud for the hard of hearing but great vibe)

The service was generally very very slow. Food was at best, average and had little seasoning or actual flavour. A poor meal that wouldn't make me hurry back

I thought the food was very good but there was rather a lot o noise as we were near the coffee machine. Also when I arrived they did not seem sure I had a booking, so we did not get a very good table.

Excellent food especially the steak frittes A birthday dessert was presented to my sister-in-law Being a Sunday lunch time & very busy, service was slow- our only complaint We love Cote & it's value for money & consistently good food.

We visited on a Tuesday evening. The food was very tasty with generous portions. Great value for money with early dinner 3 course meal deal for £13.99. Friendly service and nice ambience. Recommended!

Very nice good & good service even though it was a busy lunchtime. Will book again when next in the area In the meantime will visit other core resturants

Myself and my guest had a wonderful time. The food and wine were delicious, as always but, most importantly, the staff were so very friendly and efficient. Perfect!

Very nice service, helpful and quick. This was very important because we were on our way to a concert at the Albert Hall. Good steak and burger, excellent tarte au citron.

Always our restaurant of choice - great food, great service, great ambience and great value - and if the rare occasion occurs when we are not happy, then it is dealt with very professionally. We love Cote.

Excellent food and lovely ambience. If I could criticise anything it would be the service was a little on the slow side. However, this was noted by a particular waiter who sprang in to help !

Excellent food but two things that were not good. The wine was very expensive and taking my elderly parents out to lunch none of us appreciated being called 'guys' the whole time by an otherwise good waiter.

Wanted a quick meal before going onto proms. Menu had good choice and service was quick and efficient. Early evening menu very good value for money

Easy to find, just down a little ally, drinks order was taken straight away and came promptly. Food order was taken then and food came quickly too. Friendly and attentive staff. Nice atmosphere, clean. Would recommend.

Great food, wine and atmosphere. A great place to relax with friends on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Good service and reasonable pricing. Shame they had run out of chocolate fondant.

Good value in "before 7 PM" menu, with reasonable selection of starter, main and dessert. Recommended. Service competent and efficient, good wine list. Worth a try...

Staff very pleasant & helpful. My Niece was getting coach back to Bristol Uni & her mobile battery had died. They charged it up for her with pleasure. The food was super too. Moules, fillet steak, apple tart, frozen berries, lamb shank. And the mixed olives.All of it. And the rewards red wine - Cote du Rhone - fabulous. Had a very similar experience at our Weybridge Cote the week before. Keep up the good work. Only complaint with London was the temperature was far too hot & stuffy. Very airless.

Such a convenient location in Kensington, used a lot for business lunch and always well looked after.... Cote is our favorite meeting place near our offices....

The service at Cote in Kensington is always outstanding and the food as well. I visited today with my wife and 2 month old baby and they made us feel at home.

We arrived late due to traffic for a meal prior to going to Royal Albert Hall as a birthday treat. The staff were outstanding and got our meal to us promptly without feeling rushed. The manager also gave us a free glass of pink fizz each, acknowledging the celebration. Sadly we only had time for a main course but the food was up to par as ever with every visit we have made to Cote. Good value for Kensington too. Superb highly recommend all aspects. Busy with other diners too

Great service and great food. Good location away from the noise of traffic on Kensington High Street. Good choice of food and prices for family dinners after a tiring walk around London or somewhere to treat yourself for a special event.

Loads better than the average chain restaurant. The dining room is pleasant & a good choice on the menu. Great food and attentive staff. Would definitely come back and recommend.

I had 2 starters,, the blood orange and chicory salad which was delicious, as was the artichoke starter. My husband enjoyed the seafood linguine. I also had the apple crumble which was naughty but very nice.

Food very good. Waiting staff were very polite an attentive. No gripes except for not throwing a couple and there very noisey child out that would not behave himself who had broken a glass as soon as they sat at the table and annoyed every patron nearby. I would have at least asked them to take child out and calm him down. The parents didn't seem to care though.

Cozy atmosphere, convenient location, reliable, very good food particularly the steak frites, mussels and crumble dessert, friendly staff, quick service and reasonable price for both food and wine.

Excellent food and service, and a great location for a meal before a show at the royal Albert hall. The cod goujons were particularly delicious.

Delicious food, good service, nice ambiance. Had the moules and sea bream and both were perfectly cooked. The girls and I will definitely be back!

We enjoyed the experience, we were able to choose our table, the restaurant had a lively vibe so a good atmosphere. Good food and good service. We would definitely re-visit.

Always good service, which is why we go back. Tonight my steak was a bit tough but they did give us a discount, so we will go back.

Excellent service, the restaurant was bright and sparkling, lovely atmosphere. The food was of a very high standard and was most enjoyable. Will visit this branch of Cote Brasseries again when in the area.
