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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Wonderful welcome by the Maitre'D, very friendly and efficient waitress together with a good valued meal and bottle of merlot! Will certainly return again in the future.

We are long term CÔTE enthusiasts and last night's visit confirmed our anticipation of an excellent meal in pleasant surroundings attended by professional, congenial staff. (not to mention the smoothness of the complimentary French 75). Merći CÔTE Kensington.

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.

Good welcome staff very friendly. Food delicious but drinks bit expensive. Nice relaxing evening, nobody rushing you. Quite a walk to the loo! Very nice evening

Good value for money, thank you Cote . Enjoyed the 2 course deal & the complimentary glasses of champagne on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the restaurant.

The manager was very helpful in finding us a good table. Food and service excellent as always. One of he better Cote restaurants, managed superbly.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Good service, and the food overall was OK, but although the Chicken was fine, all three Duck Breast portions were overcooked and luke-warm not hot and not a patch on the same dish we had and enjoyed at Sloane Square and Hampstead.

We are regulars at this branch of Cote - one of the better ones in this chain ,as it has more of a feel of a local restaurant . The food is reliably good and most importantly great value and the staff welcoming and friendly.

Excellent food, service and surroundings. A number of different menus to choose from, catering for different tastes and priced accordingly. Staff were especially welcoming and efficient and the only comment that we would make is that we had an early evening booking and by the time we left at approx 10pm the noise level had increased appreciably-another indication of the restaurant’s popularity.

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.

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?

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

The staff; especially the manager were so extraordinary in our dining experience. The food was magnificent, wine excellent. The manager went out of his way to assist us with a coupon we wanted to redeem; he was fabulous. The servers we had were amazing. Thank you for a wonderful dinner; will definitely come back!

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.

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!

This was our first experience of Côte Kensington. The charming Alberto was superb and showed us to our reserved table. The food was superb as was the service.. Thankyou for a smashing evening and we look forward to table 16 next time. Thankyou John ..

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.

It was very lovely, great food, tasty, fast and fresh. Great atmosphere and good price. Booking was simple and great specials that change regularly and are inspiring

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!

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.

I had booked a table several days before the planned dining (3 weeks ahead) - and on the day my husband went to the restourant in person to ensure we have a windowtable we like very much. When I arrived to the restaurant at the reserved time, the receptionist said that unfortunately our table had been taken by another couple. I asked to use a similar table which was free at the time, but the receptionist said it is reserved for somebody else. I was offered a table in the back of the restaurant but I said we do not like it there (too dark) and that we had booked a table from the front. I said I will wait for my husband to arrive (waited outside as was not offered a table). My husband came and he enquired about our table. He was told it is taken by others. The receptionist said "my bad". We were really dissapointed as had booked the table so early to ensure we can dine nicely on our anniversary. We ended up leaving to another restaurant. This used to be our regular restaurant - we came at least once a week and have celebrated all our anniversaries there. The staff has changed recently and the customer service has gone from 10 to 0.

Have been here many times and always good. Pleasant staff in nice surroundings. Unfortunately, our main dish was very salty, but not enough that it spoiled it for us today.

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

Very helpful and cheerful staff . Very busy . Food lovely . I’ve never had a bad meal at Cote. Ever. Thank you. Very enjoyable .

A nice lively restaurant with very friendly staff and the food is always of a consistently good quality although this restaurant does not offer the set price menus on a Saturday

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.

Delicious food and great service in a lovely, cosy setting. We booked on a loyalty (emailed to me) April offer: a free French 75 for each customer choosing from the a la carte menu - so an extra little treat that made the meal special.

Staying at a hotel around the corner, so booked before we arrived. I rang mid-afternoon to add my son to the booking, which was done very quickly. Food and service both excellent, and clearly other people thought so, as it was very busy - even more impressive that the service was so good!

I visited the Kensington branch of Cote last night and enjoyed a fantastic meal with a friend. Ana Maria and the team looked after us really well and the food was just fantastic - especially the ribeye steak which was cooked to perfection with very little fat. Thank you, we will definitely be back!
