Côte Barbican

Pleasant service, easy atmosphere. Excellent stop if you are going to/coming from the Barbican cinemas, gallery or halls, for something light or more substantial. Daily specials menus offer excellent value.

Great and fast service. We were in a rush as we were in between wedding events and the staff were super accommodating and friendly ! We would definitely recommend

Good food, good value for money. I like Cote Barbican. Have been there a few times and will be happy to return.

The restaurant was packed and everyone was in a rush as they were all going to the Barbican concert. Despite this the service was superb. However my meal was not particularly good partl I think because I ordered the wrong things. The soup was ordinary and the shepherds pie type dish lacked flavour and did not have enough meat. However I go quite often to your restaurants and will continue to do so as it is generally an excellent deal.

Everything excellent. We very much enjoyed food and service was very attentive. I think this was the best Cote I have been to.

Fantastic value for money here, well cooked food, friendly service and a two course/3 course meal for less than £20. Amazing in central London to get this quality for this price.

Nice place, good food, lovely service. French food is always to go for.

We had an excellent meal with efficient and friendly service.

Always a wonderful experience at Cote Barbican - great service and delicious food! Thank you!

My husband and I really enjoyed dinner! The food was very good and the service prompt, and helpful.

Pleasant experience. Good location, attentive staff, generally good experience fot all

Lovely food and friendly waiting staff. Service a little slow for the main course, which led to a little anxiety as we were attending a concert and no time for dessert!

As always great food great service and (nearly) affordable. Best value/quality in the square mile

Experience was terrible, food took absolutely ages and wasn’t very nice, steak was undercooked & staff were rude and kept getting orders wrong, not very happy

99.9% but with oysters on the menu it would be 100%

Brilliant meal and amazing service. Attentive but not intrusive, great location for the Barbican. We really enjoyed our meal at Cote, definitely be back.

Always good service, great value for money. Waiting time is insanely quick and the food is enjoyable. Never had a bad experience. Thanks to all at Cote.

Good food and good staff to serve it. Very enjoyable

Excellent food. A good choice of menu and a good wine list. Staff were unfailingly polite and helpful. The specials menu was exactly that with some excellent options. No complaints. Thoroughly enjoyed an unhurried meal.

No spinach, off! Really annoyed about that. Cannot believe they ran out.

Really attentive friendly service and HUGE portions! A big fan of Côte and regularly go to the Parsons Green restaurant. There is a very big difference in the portion sizes between the restaurants

Nice friendly and very attentive staff, the food was delcious. I had the pork belly and can honestly say it was the best I've ever eaten. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting London. Fantastic place for a meal if you're attending an event at the Barbican as it's only about 100 yards from the front door.

Great end to my Birthday weekend - thank you to all the staff who joined in the singing even though the one at the back was slightly flat... thanks again

Chicken and chips is the best. Was a bit noisy with lunch time business diners but food was great. Recommend for a business lunch in the city.

I always have a lovely time at Cote Barbican. The food is tasty, the service is quick and you cannot beat the value provided. It's family friendly and I even had a free round of drinks for my birthday - Thank you Cote!

Good food, set menus are excellent value (though it is underwhelming that you always have to ask for the set menu card). The Barbican branch is rather spacious. Staff was a bit cold that evening - too bad. Overall had a good dinner and would return.

Lovely tuna salad nicoise and steak fries, that came with a free bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. The service was fast, the food arrived soon after ordering and tasted delicious. Highly recommended.

Under-staffed and difficult to get the attention of waiters. Disappointing when we had allowed a full 1.5 hours from arrival to get to a concert at Barbican. This should have been a key time for them.

Really good food and excellent service...will return. My wife really enjoyed it also.

We booked for a meal before an event at the Barbican. The food was lovely. We left plenty of time so as not to feel rushed however we did feel rushed and my friend who cannot eat quickly was feeling under pressure. This is not to say the staff were not nice they were efficient and friendly but came to the table several times and took things away. eg used glasses/condiments. This is often the case in the city but sis not help to make us feel relaxed and enjoy the experience. I have eaten at several Cote Brasseries in places across the country and overall really enjoyed them. This was not my best experience but not awful either.

The service was so much better today, in comparison with a previous visit in November 2018 with the same group of people - table of 6 when we waited over 1.5 hours from having our starter to eating our main course. The food was excellent and our waitress was very efficient. All in all a very good experience.

Good welcome, efficient service, tasty food and a good variety on offer on the Gluten free menu which was appreciated. Also i felt able to trust that food was genuinely Gluten free as I am a coeliac and this is essential.

One of the worst lunches that I had in London, nothing to do with reasonable French cuisine ( I lived 3 years in Paris..). I probably made the wrong choices from the top lunch menu but the Calamari were terrible and the linguine so and so, pretty much oriented for a low level British taste. The Chardonnay was supposed to be full and ripe of flavour and it was bland (but still pricey). I will not repeat the experience.

The overall experience was very good. Our waitress was very attentive and really friendly. We all had an issue with the portion size being a little too small- perhaps the pre theatre menu should be advertised as a light meal and then people would choose another menu if they were hungry. We chose two courses but even three courses would have been a light meal. Next time I would choose a la carte.

Excellent food, great menu choice, good atmosphere and service. Fixed menu very good vfm

First class service. Quick, great food and ambience. Thank you

Excellent food and service as always from cote! We will definitely be back

Excellent food and service. Would definitely visit again. Highly recommend.

Staff were fantastic as always, but the chef was obviously having a bad night. My main course was so full of garlic that I had to send it back. They kindly took the cost off the bill, but I am still tasting it this morning!

Very pleasant evening on Shrove Tuesday , nice aperitifs , good . food ( we had Duck and Monfish main courses ) and excellent pancakes !

Perfect location Wonderful decor Come here often as its good bang for buck in a nice restaurant Set menus are delicious and also very good value for money Perfect location Wonderful decor Come here often as its good bang for buck in a nice restaurant Set menus are delicious and also very good value for money

Wonderful value...service was great. Very friendly staff . Will definately come again!

Great food, excellent service. Tuna nicoise salad in particular was extremely good. Wine list is extensive and well priced. The perfect place to eat before a Barbican event!

Great menu choices, tasty food and attentive waiter, (from Brasil) No waiting times at 5.30. Excellent for pre- theatre and close to Barbican. Would visit again! Thanks

Very good value amd excellent food. Staff friendly and hard working

Again last night we were treated to good food and service at Cote. It’s consistently a good place to go with friends. Great value compared to other restaurants.

food was not as good as usual today but the service was

Lovely evening at the Barbican London Cote Restaurant, with good friendly service and excellent menu choices. Would happily visit again. I would recommend the chicken liver parfait.

As always a delicious meal with attentive efficient service and in a spacious, light and pleasant setting. The pre-theatre menu is very good value. Would always recommend.

Usual friendly greeting upon arrival Speedy polite prompt and helpful service Up to the expected Cote “ Gold Standard “ Staff never fail to totally please
