Good food and a pleasant atmosphere, it's busy pre-theatre so need to book. This was great value for money considering what you pay in London for a 3 course meal

Great food and the friendliest staff in the West End. Perfect pre-theatre visit and certainly our favourite. Rib Eye steak was outstanding. Lovely chilled bottle of dry white too.

Service & staff very good indeed - a very pleasant evening prior to the theatre. We’ll go again. I’d recommend the fish pie - it’s as good as it gets.

Up to the usual high standard of Cotes Brasserie. Staff helpful, friendly and attentive without being pushy and without chasing us to get out as we enjoyed a leisurely late lunch. Food, as usual, was excellent.

Restaurant very busy and had to ask to be served. Once served the service was very good. The waiter was very helpful suggesting meals which would be quicker to cook as we were short on time. The food was excellent!

Decent-quality food in a pleasant, albeit rather hectic, atmosphere. A safe bet for an evening with a large group of friends or a good-value pre-theatre supper.

As usual, Cote was heavingly busy but the service was still very good. One of my party sent back her starter as she preferred her eggs benedict firmer. No quibble from the staff and the senior waiter apologied and offered some bread while she waited. Sea bass good and not overdone and apple crumble up to its usual high standard. There was no rush to show us the door either. Always a good venue to meet old friends.

Three courses for, I think, £13.90 is Incredible lunchtime value in Covent Garden. Portions not huge but entirely adequate. Helpful and efficient staff. Large wine and drinks list.

Great food, great service and an ideal position in Covent Garden. I gave a 6 because you couldn't fault the important things but the tables are very cramped.

We arrived to be told there was a gas failure so they could offer very few hot dishes....that being said they did produce splenid alternatives and the plus for us was that the restaurant wasn't quite as crowded as usual so able to linger over coffee without feeling that we were preventing someonelse fromeating.

The service was excellent and the food was very good. The only problem was the noise level - far too high to be able to have any sensible comversation. Management need to address this problem with new or refurbished facilities - soft furnishings is part of the answer.

We dined at the Tavistock Street branch of cote this evening. I had booked in advance and as it was a special occasion. We chose that special 10 year anniversary menu, I can only say how delighted we were by the exquisite food on offer. For starters I chose the charcuterie board, my colleagues had a crab mayonnaise, Baked Crottin, respectively. For the main course I chose the Roast Duck Breast my colleagues one had the Roast Pork Belly, the other had the Breton Fish Stew. We all finished with the crepe Grand Marnier. The comments that went round the table regarding the food from my friends was they had not had such exquisite food apart from when they dined in Paris. As per usual the service was exemplary and I would like to pass my congratulations on to the kitchen staff as all the dishes were exceptionally well presented and absolutely delicious. I can highly recommend the anniversary menu and as always at cote it is exceptional value for money

Very good food as always, and prompt and efficient service. The fixed price lunch menu is particularly good value. The restaurant was full - matinées at neighbouring theatres so everybody needed to out around 2pm - yet the staff coped brilliantly.

Excellent service, despite being very busy. Excellent food too! Really nice atmosphere and menu options were really good. This venue is very popular and potential customers were queuing outside when we arrived. You must book a table to avoid disappointment. Highly recommended!

An excllent meal with excellent service. We chose the celebratory menu (has Côte really been going for ten years?) and we were not disappointed. The champagne was a nice touch and a good way to start the evening. The charcouterie was imaginatively served and the poulet was perfect. The chocolate dessert rounded off an authentic French meal.

There was more than one menu and we chose from the À la carte. The prices weren't too bad for the middle of buzzing Covent Garden. I had the Chicken & Walnut Salad which was delicious and a hearty serving. We all agreed that our food was superb. Our waiter was very attentive, but not too much and there wasn't a flicker when we moved tables half way through to be away from the window. We chose the NV Brut Cremant De Bourgogne from the sparkling wines, which was recommended by our waiter and it was truly, excellent. Will definitely be going back soon.

Good good, decent price for the pre-theatre fixed menu. The only issue is cramming too many tables as close together as possible, it would be more pleasant if a bit more spacious.

I booked the day before online and we arrived for a pre-matinee meal. We arrived and we're shown to a lovely table in the window. We had cloud lemonade to drink as it was such a beautiful sunny day followed by the minute steak and frites. We had creme caramel to follow. The food was beautiful and so reasonable would definitely go again and highly recommend.
