Delicious food and efficient service. A meal at Cote always makes us feel like we've had a taste of France when we can't go there.

First inside restaurant meal since the beginning of the Covid crisis and Côte Chelmsford did not disappoint: airy and well managed dining area, well protected and trained staff, a warm welcome, efficient service and great food. We’ll be back!

As usual the staff were absolutely great from beginning to end helping to make an enjoyable atmosphere. The food was very tasty and enjoyed by all, however I had the Loin Lamb chops and whilst the meat was very tasty it was difficult to extract from the bone and was poor with regards to meat quantity. Suggest this joint is dropped from the menu.. With current restrictions regulations were carried out well although I felt our table for six was a little cramped and perhaps tables could have been put together in the central area without loss of numbers to yourselves. All in all everyone was relatively happy and a good night had... no doubt see you again soon.

So glad to be back to one of our favourite restaurants! We were greeted by the always friendly staff who recognised us. Our order was taken swiftly and the quality of the food was excellent. The mushroom sauce with the chicken dishes was to die for. All the desserts looked beautiful and tasted divine. Overall a lovely meal with a very safe and friendly ambiance.

The vegetarian breakfast was delicious. Without doubt the best veggie sausage I've had. The service however, was lacking. We had to ask to order drinks, ask to order food, wait over 30 mins for the food, no offer or enquiry if we wanted any further drinks or food, we had to ask for the bill. When we paid the bill, no enquiry to how the meal was. Just so disappointing, to have delicious food but not be provided any service.

We love Cote Chelmsford and were delighted to be back. However, we were very surprised by what appeared to be rather casual Covid precautions. This is the only restaurant we've been to where the tables were ready laid with cutlery, glasses etc. in advance of customers sitting down (the norm now is to sit at a completely empty table and have items brought to you). Also, we noticed one party changed tables but no staff disinfected the table they had just left, and presumably touched. Sadly, it made us uncomfortable that precautions seemed far too relaxed.

Just great to be back at Cote Chelmsford. The “restricted” menu was extensive and full of old favourites. Service was friendly and efficient as usual. Thanks to Vinnie and his team for their kindness and hospitality. Just like being back “home” again!

Great to see Cote open again! The staff were also glad to be back at work, and the service was the usual high standard. This was the night that Chelmsford Cote reopened and it was eerily quiet on our arrival (5.30pm). But it soon began to fill up, and tables were positioned for good social distancing with no loss of ambience. As for the food, I didn't enjoy the Goat Cheese Salad' . A better title would be 'Stewed Vegetable Medley with Goat's Cheese'. For dessert, the 'Praline Crepe was excellent. My wife had more luck with her main course and we both enjoyed our starters. Best of luck to Cote.

The finest dishes served by first rate staff in a relaxed but sophisticated setting. There really is no better restaurant in Chelmsford. Even when the fire alarm sounded, something out of the restaurant’s control we were given complementary drinks as a gesture. Perfect.
