Côte Barbican

We had a delicious meal at Cote, and the service was excellent and extremely prompt, which was important as we were attending a concert afterwards. The staff were lovely - so friendly and helpful. The best I've had anywhere recently - so thank you. The only slight problem was the noise level being quite high - which was probably down to the acoustics of the premises - at times I had difficulty hearing conversation on my table. I don't think there was any piped music though - thank goodness! (Please keep it that way) Overall a very enjoyable experience.

Arrived 6.05 food 6.55 Cote tomorrow = Jamie’s today ?(good food when it arrived though)

Service was great even though it was extremely busy! Food was lovely and good value. Would have been a a higher score but ran out of one of the main items and not told until quite late on. Defo recommend if visiting the Barbican.

The meal as usual was most enjoyable and good quality. Sadly the only sparkling water was full strength Perrier which is not a very appetising accompaniment to a meal. Perhaps in future the lower bubboenperrier might be offers as an alternative?

Excellent food, very efficient and friendly service Comfortable, ambient space. Tables well spaced.

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

Not as good as usual. Too busy which meant staff rushed off their feet! This affected the level of service we have come accustomed to over the many visits we make to Cote.

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

Service was excellent but my starter was odd. Tepid boudain noir with a cold poached egg. Not quite what I had in mind from the menu.

We had an excellent meal with efficient and friendly service.

Cote is an excellent chain, delivering delicious food. The menu choices are varied and provide good value, and the quality and quantity are consistently high. I will visit again.

Tasty pre-theatre meal but scallops under cooked and restaurant very noisy.

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!

It was a wet Monday evening, yet this venue was still buzzy with diners, just pleasantly so... Seamless service (which took stress from us knowing our train service ended early this evening), the usual good ingredients, well cooked and presented.

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

My sister and I met for a pre theatre supper . We love ‘a Cote ‘ as we call it ! Professional , friendly service . Delicious food and wine at very reasonable prices . What’s not to like !

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

Normally I write rave reviews about Côte but this evening’s main course was the worst ever. Worse than bad economy class airline food. Avoid the chicken parmentier on the early evening menu. Maybe it’s better when full price, who knows?

Naughty! The Prestige menu is automatically displayed with no reference to the standard set menu. We had the prestige and a la carte and enjoyed it immensely, but....

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.

Service was friendly and helpful, food tasty, unfortunately the French onion soup was not very warm and the mash with my main course was completely cold. They did apologise, plus give us a discount and free chips... :), But obviously food should have been hit in the first place!

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

outstanding... as ever... we've always enjoyed our experience at the barbican cote

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

Went here for a quick meal before going to The Barbican and it was ideal. It was a pity that we had to dash off as we probably did not do the restaurant justice.

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.

Consistently good value and great fro an evening at the Barbican.

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.

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

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.

The service was excellent and the food similarlly good. The only disappointment was the closure of the bar well ahead of the meal’s arrival. 10.15pm on a Saturday night in London doesn’t cater for those who have been to performances in the Barbican.

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.

We were very happy with the experience. The staff was very attentive. The waiter was very helpful and gave us good advice. I knew the chain, but some of my friends that were in the hen do didn't, and after the dinner they mentioned that they would go back. Thank you for having us!

Service just too quick, almost like is everybody ready for home!!! Food good, service fine but too attentive and quick.

Great service and consistently high quality food at a very reasonable price. One minor problem with a starter was immediately sorted. All dishes were excellent. Thoroughly recommend Cote

Lovely French food. Speedy pre theatre service. Helpful waiters. All good.

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

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

Good meal and service. Consistently good over many years. Dependable, enjoyable and reliable

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

The serving staff are great! It makes all the difference.

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

Excellent service, very helpful waitress. Reasonably priced menu...good range of dishes......................pork good, nice Crottin as a starter. Aware of Barbican start at 7pm..... Don't force me to write more than I want to !

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.

This branch of Cote never disappoints, always great food, great service and good value for money in a great location, book an early dinner as it does tend to get busy and a noisey with the Barbican pre theatre crowd.

Food was good and prices reasonable. The waiting staff were nice and friendly and almost got things right, but not quite...for example they cleared the cutlery from starters, brought the mains but forgot to bring new cutlery ( we went and got it ourselves from nearby shelf), bread came without butter, one of us had no water glass... I think the problem is one of training, and actually looking to see what is going on at the table.. Generally speaking we do like Cote...
