Côte Cheltenham

Lovely lovely dinner, great service. Will definitely return. Steak frites and chicken main courses were excellent as were the chocolate mousse and chocolate fondant for pudding. Atmosphere was great also. Highly Recommended.

It was our first visit today. The food was delicious and the service was excellent-friendly and efficient. Lovely atmosphere. We will definitely go there again.

We had breakfast which was really tasty and well cooked and served Also the staff were really pleasant and attentive as is always the case and we will definitely be going again.

First visit to Cote Cheltenham. Good food. Wine reasonably priced too. Place was packed on arrival, good job we had booked. Friendly service, what's not to like?

Excellent service right from the start. Delicious food, good value, Coming back soon. Superb gluten free choices. Staff attentive but not obtrusive. Great atmosphere and excellent range of choices.

Arrived at the restaurant at 2pm we waited a long time for our starter and even longer for our main ,an hour altogether ,I could understand the waiting time but there was less than 20 people in the place at the time of arrival and less by the time we left ,dissapointed with the service . Our meals were ok ,pork belly was dry but the accompaniments were fine ,the children's fish and chips were very nice .........not sure what's happened to the speed of service in this restaurant but it needs addressing as people have to pay for parking even on a Sunday .

As usual excellent breakfast. We were the first customers on Sunday morning so service great at first. Then place was deluged with people and we had to wait quite a while to get anther drink. But staff always friendly here.

As always, Cote delivers value and service with delicious wine and good food, thank you!! I was introducing my friend to the chain, she had never encountered it but obviously the first of many visits.

Excellent value for money, and good range of choices on the early bird menu. A little noisy when busy, but nice decor and good service,

We had the 10 year celebration menu was very good. Although the restaurant was vertually empty when we arrived we could not get our requested table. (We are regulars.) Clearly no one had noted our request! The service is sometimes too quick, we had to request a delay between the main course and dessert. Also I believe that a 12.5% service charge is over the top when compared to all other restaurants in the area!

Great food, great service -thank you very much. Staff very attentive. Lots of choice on the menu. Will definitely be returning to this restaurant. Thanks again

Service was poor tonight. Long wait at every stage. Had to ask repeatedly for service. Short staffed? This isn't usually the case as service is usually excellent.

Fantastic as always. I've never had a bad meal at Cote & the service is always excellent. Will be back very soon. Highly recommended restaurant

A friendly, busy restaurant where they serve good food at reasonable prices. We had the Anniversary Menu and it was excellent. Crab mayonnaise and crepes suzette being the stars!

My partner Amanda and I enjoyed a truly lovely meal this evening (Sunday).We ate from the 10th anniversary menu.Each course was superb and the complimentary glass of champagne was a lovely touch.The staff were very attentive and very professional in all they did and we would like to thank them for making a really enjoyable evening for us. Many thanks,Tom Madden

Food delicious and service excellent. Restaurant was very noisy with no soft furnishings to soften the sounds. The extra charges for small portions of chipped potatoes and green beans was annoying, however the overall value was very good.

A good choice of menu served promptly and offering excellent. Quiet on day of visit which added to the enjoyment but restaurant can become too noisy when full.

Great food and wines. Consistently good. Excellent and pleasant service. We had to ask for our complimentary kir royale, and then the computer had to be checked. This should have been done without us asking..Apart from this small thing, it was a lovely evening.

As consistent as ever with one exception this time. At least one of four main courses came to the table lukewarm. Our issue because we didn't send it back but will watch more closely next time.

As usual a most enjoyable lunch. Pleasant staff and good food. Will look forward to my next visit. Can really recommend this restaurant for th

Yet again we visited Cheltenham's Cote for a superb breakfast this morning (a full English and a French breakfast). As always the food was of excellent quality and cooked to perfection. Such good value particularly when adding orange juice and coffee for only £1 each,

Sadly the service was terrible last night. There was a large party of 20 that arrived an hour after our arrival which then caused the staff to forget our main course. After a reminder it came within 5 minutes but the steak was rare rather than medium. We were given free drinks and one pudding but sadly this did not make up for a very unpleasant night out.

We enjoyed the evening: staff were very welcoming and attentive, though the waiting staff were proecedural (and smiling) but with very little humour. (Perhaps that is a cultural issue, where there was good communication, but evidently lost in translation. The bill was as expected, but I do think adding a service charge onto the bill is presumptuous; why not let the customer decide? I will was willing to pay the gratuity, but please do not force the customers' hand! We had the god fortune to eat in your Brighton restaurant last week; tonight in Cheltenham, the food on the whole was better.

As always it was a superb meal and value for money .Staff were courteous and it was an enjoyable My husband had the Breton fish stew for the second time and I had the pork belly also for the second time.

Excellent, friendly service. Quality and presentation of food, great. Good value for money and a great location. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a memorable dining experience.

Great staff friendly and helpful, The food was lovely and they were willing to make a few changes to the dish as I am a bit fussy. Well worth a visit if in this area.

Great food with great atmosphere Amazingly priced classic French food Well worth a visit if you are a first timer to French cuisine Thank you to the staff for making us welcome we had a great visit thanks and we will return

Excellent - good choice of dishes, well presented and attentive friendly service. Would definitely recommend to anyone for a lunch or evening meal in Cheltenham.

Once again i enjoyed a first class set lunchtime menu in Cheltenham the only minus was no papers were available and the peach crumble were not available.

Lovely relaxing atmosphere. Friendly waiting staff. Very tasty and varied menu. Enjoyed all three courses from the set menu. Can highly recommend. Will go again.

I went, with two friends, to Côte, Cheltenham for their 3 course lunch today. It was really excellent. Charentais melon (nearly a whole one) with olive oil and sea salt, juicy and sweet savoury. Perfectly cooked Pan roasted hake on a bed of Provençal chickpeas was a full of flavour and brought back memories of Provençal holidays. Followed by their peerless crême caramel. Yum yum. Terrific value. Smiling service. Well done again, Côte.

Lovely staff, very friendly and helpful. Our party's meals were satisfactory apart from the salads unfortunately. Rough off cuts of lettuce and no dressing. Not to the same standard as other meals.

Service from Gabriel was superb attentive but not over the top. Food was excellent as usual. Good value and cooked perfectly. We will come again. Thank you.

Great staff and good service , we had a delicious 2course meal with wine , very good value for money . Always consistently good .

Quiet a relaxing atmosphere with a lovely ambience especially during the week. It's good when they remind you of your forth coming birthday Reasonable prices - except there is 'a not so voluntary' service charge of 12%

It's a well thought out proposition with tasty food served in a friendly atmosphere. It's minimally staffed mind you and when busy, which it usually is, can be slow. It's also all wooden decor which may be easier to keep clean, but noise levels become uncomfortably high very quickly. None if which will stop ya returning...

All good except the white wine that was not properly chilled. Had supposedly "been in the frig overnight". If so the frig needs looking at.

Food and service were very good, but the table was in a very noisy area, near the plate clearing area. There was a lot of to-ing & fro-ing and clattering of china etc. Other visits on different tables have been better.

Nice food and friendly service. The bill was slow in arriving which was a bit of a pain but all in all a good experience.

Service poor. Main course dirty plates left on our table for about half an hour after eating completed. Fish ( Hake) not good, and bordering on "off". My companion found eating a half melon difficult as n o spoon provided and the melon was not cut well in it's skin so extracting it was a problem. Either it needs to be removed from it's skin in the kitchen or spoon provided.

Really enjoyed the food, great value and the service was excellent dispite the restaurant being very busy, eat here a lot and I love the consistency

I like the atmosphere at Cote & it's a good venue for dinner with a friend or two. On this occasion the food was ok but not great. The flavour of the Heirloom tomato salad was down to the dressing & not the tomatoes which were bland and possibly not ripe enough; it needed bread to soak up the juices as the 'croutons ' were more like breadcrumbs. Reminiscent of the asparagus offered with a fanfare at the start of the season which was very disappointingly shards of a handful of skinny spears. Two or three fat spears with a dribble of melted butter would have hit the spot.

I had a lovely evening. The service was friendly and attentive without being oppressive. The food was very good. I look forward to going again soon.

Used this place before and always pleased with the food, service and downstairs atmosphere. First time for Early Evening Menu, good value, quality and prompt service for a quick turn around.

The service was efficient and polite, and I enjoyed the goats cheese salad. The ambiance of the restaurant was good and the decor good. My friend and I had a very pleasant lunch.

Lovely lunch, had the three course specials. Lovely lunch, and service. Up two flights for the loo, but there is a disabled one on ground floor.

Very efficient and friendly service. No waiting times as everything appeared shortly after ordering (although this was on a Thursday and the restaurant was still heaving - have only been on weekends before and although really busy the service was excellent). Lovely food and a really good choice on the menu. Highly recommended

First visit to Cote Cheltenham, have previously been to Cirencester which was great. Unfortunately we were disappointed- it was very very busy, it felt like the staff had not anticipated the onslaught. Services was slow, starter (the bread with caramelised onions) was dry and cold, main course (steak & fries) was good. We were planning to have desert but gave up waiting for a waiter to come and take our order. Could have easily walked out without paying, had to physically go and pay at the entrance. We did complain and they did not charge us for the starter. Just a shame really, the Cirencester restaurant was much better.

Cote is always good. We go to it in every town we visit. Just wish we had it in Australia, good food, great service.. always.excellent.

The whole experience was excellent. The ambience of the restaurant is very relaxed and the layout of the restaurant gives a feeling of space - the tables are not crowded together. The menu was quite extensive and the food itself first class. The service was attentive without being overbearing.
