Last minute decision so lucky to get a table....we saw people being turned away. My partner chose two of the specials for May and was very pleased with the scallops to start and lamb chops to follow (not sure about the Roquefort butter with the chops) and I had calamari to start followed by baked salmon on ratatouille - absolutely delicious. A bottle of wine, great service from the maitre D and a lovely Brazilian waitress. Perfect.

The staff were very friendly & not pushy with regards to ordering drinks & food. I was told the vegetarian option on the cheaper set menu was not available but I could substitute for a dish off the main menu. I actually went with the prestige set menu but was good to be told & offered an alternative It was busy so noisy with chatter which is great but the music was also loud so hard to understand the person I was sat opposite, I think the tables are too close to each other at the front However I enjoyed the food & will visit again

The set menus are good value but portions are quite small, and communication between the waiters and the kitchen could be better. We dislike the "optional" 12.5% service charge which appears on the bill that you have to ask to be removed if you want to make an alternative service payment.

The food and service were first class but the prices are astronomical, especially for the wine. The cheapest special menu is the best option price-wise for food although the choices are somewhat limited and the portions small. We had the next one up but my friend found there were insufficient vegetables with her salmon.

A very good experience at the Bournemouth Restaurant. Cheerful greeting on arrival and in response to our booking special request a table upstairs by a window had been allocated. Service and food excellent, with only one minor observation being that the hot chocolate sauce on the ice cream could perhaps have been a little hotter - it was still super though. Well done Cote, our best visit to this branch to date.

Mixed review...The butternut squash and crispy sage risotto tasted wonderful but was ruined by the fact that it had been microwaved to within an inch of its life and was therefore completely dry. The waitress was fierce and a little intimidating and I certainly didn't feel like challenging her. She needs to be more sincere and smile. She spoilt our lunch. The Confit of Duck was excellent but February's special side dish of potatoes was underwhelming. We will be back as Cote is one of our favourite lunch spots but will hope for a more friendly waitress.

Cote Brasserie in Westover Road Bournemouth is a fantastic authentic french restaurant the ambience, decor, food, and service is impeccable. The best French food outside of Paris. I visited for my sister in laws birthday we were given a glass of Pink champagne on the house. We had olives and bread appetizer, gin & tonics, we chose the Prestige Lunch set menu 3 courses for £18.95 which is excellent value. I had french onion soup with gryere croutons. My sister had course pork pate terrine & apple sauce and French bread toasted. We order seafood linguine and Salmon for main and chocolate mousse for dessert which was the best chocolate dessert we've ever tasted so rich and just heaven with a glass of port. We had a wonderful waitress and the chef came out. We were not rushed and enjoyed a leisurely afternoon enjoying the ambience. Thank you to all the staff for making it such a memorable day. We will be back very soon. Dawn Maughan

The menu had a range of dishes available at reasonable prices. We had asked for an accessible table and all our needs were catered for. Staff were very attentive and courteous. The food was delicious, service was excellent. Perhaps the only gripe: in Grance bread is put on the table without exception, why in a French restaurant did this not happen? We had to pay for bread, a pity.

A bit rushed, some dishes were dried up- left under a heat lamp? The waiter was excellent but the 12.5% service charge is a bit outrageous. It’s discretionary but it’s automatically added to the bill. We asked to have it reduced, as it was £16 for an average meal that was over in an hour!

Lovely food. Great ambiance. Attentive waiter. Free bottle of wine. The only downside is the 12.5% gratuity, which is automatically added to the bill. However, will definitely come again. My new favourite restaurant....I love Cote brasserie.

This was our first visit so we qualified for a complimentary bottle of wine. Both starters were delicious and the fish parmentier main course also hit the spot. I found the swordfish sauce too salty but the actual meat excellent. The wine list needs a house wine around £ 16.00 I will return.
