Another excellent pre-theatre meal in this busy branch of Cote. The value for money, the friendly staff, service and ambience were all just what we like.

Really nice food and a leisurely lunch. Restaurant is right in the heart of town and represents very good value on the set menu options. Slightly spoilt by a noisy group seated near us.

Lovely evening with friends. Our dishes were beautifully cooked and served including tuna salad, fish parmienter and duck breast. Followed by deserts. The price including a bottle of wine and coffee £120 for 4 people. Cote in Tavistock street is one of my favourite restaurants. Highly recommended.

Delicious reasonably priced meal with exceptional service! We went to London to celebrate our Daughters 30th Birthday and Son-in-laws Birthday. I booked this restaurant on my Daughter’s recommendation as she had recently visited prior to seeing a show. When the waitress found out we were celebrating she brought over some complimentary drinks for us all and also a small reprise free pudding. This was a really lovely gesture and made our stay even more special. Thank you for a lovely time, definitely come back!

This was a very ordinary meal. The sourdough toast that was served with my wife's salmon rillettes has obviously been sitting around for quite a while and was consequently dried out and too hard to eat. The watercress garnish was limp. The salad that came with her sea bass was past limp - it was brown and slimy! Not a good advert for a chain that stakes its reputation on serving consistently good food.

This was my second time eating at Cote Brasserie Covent Garden and again I would recommend the food, the choice and the service. It is busy around 5pm while people eat before the theatre so I would recommend booking if you want to go at that time of day.

Great service, great food. My wife is coeliac and we know we can always relax when we come to Cote. We also got a seat in the window which, in the Covent Garden / Theatre area, was fun watching the passing people & goings on. The pork belly was gorgeous.

Loved this Cote, it was super busy on Mothers Day so understandably the service was a a bit patchy. All our food arrived together and was delicious. Our son was well cared with an excellent menu for as a coeliac and we all had great meals. Set meal was a fab deal! Thanks Cote X

Brilliant Service, food and value. My wife and I are regular 'high end' diners, but we love this place when we're in Covent Garden, from Scotland. Genuinely can't believe the quality of the food for the price. bottle of champagne is only about £35 too!

May 20 was my birthday and I had lunch with 2 pals. The promised complimentary kir royals were provided. Very nice! The food we all had was very well received; it included starters of very well cooked calamari, mains of asparagus risotto, a breton fish stew (mine) and mussels in a cream-based sauce. My pal who had the mussels showed the waiter the closed one remaining on his plate and said that it should perhaps have been filtered out in the kitchen. When we got the bill, the cost of his dish had been deducted as a goodwill gesture. Amazing! The coffee I ordered was a decaff espresso. Bizarrely what I got was barely a thimbleful, much smaller than even the most 'ristretto' espresso one would get in a bar in Italy. The restaurant in Tavistock St is quite large and, as it was Monday, a lot of tables were free. We were placed right next to a table occupied by 4 or 5 very garrulous ladies talking at high volume. I suppose we should have asked to move to another table! But never mind. On the whole many thanks to Cote where I've eaten many times and will continue to eat. Pietro di Bembo

The set menu is good value and the food and service are excellent. My only small gripe is that the mains don’t come with veg and they are quite small portions without veg. It really bumps the price up having to order sides.

May Pre Theatre menu had excellent choice. We had Grilled Sardines & Charcuterie Board for starter, Sea Bream for main and then classic Creme Caramel & Iced Berries for dessert. The starter & main meal were cooked to perfection. The staff were efficient and friendly and service spot on.

Always love eating in Cote - consistently good although today the service was uncharacteristically surly and unfriendly.The food quality was, however, as good as ever.
