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

Lovely food, felt fresh, well-presented. Desserts a bit formulaic. They made a mistake by under-charging for our wine, which I pointed out, but they graciously waived. Nice touch! Service attentive, but not intrusive. Definitely worth another visit.

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.

Helpful staff, wonderful food served efficiently, wine served at correct temperature, red at room temp and rose cold, good choice of desserts including cheese board and a calvados and coffee to close. Excellent ambience and good booth for four people. What's not to like. Will definitely go back time after time.

Outstanding cuisine and service. The set menus are imaginatively compiled with many original dishes. The wine list is comprehensive and reasonably priced. The service from our Polish waitress, Kashia(?), was exemplary.

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.

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.

Overall a very good option for an early dinner. The welcome was pleasant as was the atmosphere. The food was good. The service wasn't bad but they were having some issues with the pay machines the night we were there so we waited a long time to pay which is a personal bug bear. A reliable place to eat generally speaking.

We had the most delightful waitress, smiling, terribly efficient and very attentive. The main course (steak frites and bream) and chocolate pot were excellent but the sardine starter was pathetic, so small amount of sardine one could hardly see it.

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!

Usual reliable and enjoyable Cote food, and great staff as they seem to have in all their branches. One star deducted on this occasion as the restaurant was uncomfortably hot. I suspect they were caught out by the sudden improvement in the weather.

We were a large party of 35, and were welcomed with the same personal attention that we have experienced when we have previously visited as a couple or small family group. Food was excellent and the atmosphere was relaxed, and at the same time we felt a lovely sense of occasion. Thank you!

The food was very good. My partner was particularly impressed with the number of vegetarian options something sadly lacking in most restaurants. The staff were lovely and there was a lively atmosphere. All at a reasonable price.

The meal was a lunch before a concert with the family, and it was lovely - the food, the service, the glass of wine - all just what was needed and a lovely part of the afternoon. The venue is not over crowded, the staff are always attentive and charming. The food at Cote is consistent and this was as always very good, and good value. Thank you for your contribution to a lovely family time.

The food was great as always. However, the restaurant was very busy and it seemed like there were not enough staff working for the pre-theatre rush. The waitress was very sweet but she was running around trying to serve everyone. We had to call staff several times. My friend got there 25 mins before me and she was not even offered a drink until I got there and we called the waitress. You know that you are going to busy for pre-theatre so you really should know to have enough staff working. Also, I had booked for 2 but there were 3 of us in the end and we were squeezed around a table for 2, yet the table next to us didn’t have anyone sitting there before we left (someone did sit there but she moved to another table).

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.
