Côte - Covent Garden

As outstanding quality and value as ever. We come here every time we go to the theatre in London and have never been disappointed. Highly recommended!

Very enjoyable early evening dinner. When the restaurant is full it's quite noisy and the tables are placed very close together, but the food is consistently good.

Good food and great service. Pleasant table. A bit noisy but generally a convenient and good value for money venue. Cote's consistency of standard is remarkable and their lunch menu cracking value. Sensibly priced and very drinkable house wines.

The food was enjoyable and the service was amiable. I enjoyed it very much and would definitely go again. I would also recommend to anyone.

First time I've been disappointed with the food at this restaurant. The lettuce, bacon, walnut and egg starter was satisfactory but would have been much improved if the bacon had been freshly cooked rather than being cold and looking like it had been sitting around for a while. The main of chicken baguette was disappointing; only three strips of chicken, sparse salad and a rock hard baguette that was inedible.

Loved it, great service and amazing food at a great price! The food came super quick and although they messed up one of the dishes (gave us the wrong one) they quickly corrected their mistake and brought the right dish.

Exceedingly poor customer service - table in the cellar (far too hot in this weather) order wrong and main course arrived after everyone else on the table had finished theirs. AnneMarie the table host tried her best - however the 'manager' Marcos frankly ignored the situation and made matters worse. I paid (reluctantly - they did take off a few drinks) but frankly the bill should have been zero - I shall be taking this up with their MD. As regular Cote patron this was NOT a good experience. They can and should do better.

Ate after watching a show at nearby theatre. Took in excess of 30 minutes to get 2 plates rapide which seems rather ironic. Brasserie was not busy at the time. My butterfly chicken breast definitely had the texture of a dish that had been lying under the hot lamps, then had a fresh sauce and chips applied. Other than that the service was good and attentive. I would certainly use this Cote again if in that area of theatre land

No recognition or welcome was offered considering the booking was made through Cote loyalty program. Food and atmosphere were good and waitress was attentive to our table.

Crowded place - but loads of pre theatre atmosphere. Cheerful and attentive service plus the usual Cote consistency with food production. Nice glass of house Rhone - benefitted from good turnover I would expect. Fruity and not stale. Pre theatre menu excellent and tasty and swift. Will go again.

Excellent meal and superb service... even though the restaurant was crammed to the rafters! Yes, we arrived just before EVERYONE was heading to the Theatre.

Food always good at Cote and staff always very friendly. This location is very good for Covent Garden and several theatres. Service very quick despite being very busy.

Service excellent. Poached egg on starter could have been hot not cold. Staff very friendly. Have been there several times. It was my husband's birthday.

Food very average - chaotic service pre theatre period - basic plate of food to protect profit margins - little finesse need to increase the all inclusive price to give more substantial food - a steak with just chips is hardly exciting and filing

Good value for money. Always good quality food. Buzzy lively atmosphere. The 1/2 a roast chicken is excellent and so are the pomme frites. A good reliable family favourite

The food was good and so was the service. The lunchtime and pre theatre menu was good value for money. Great location for the theatre and Covent Garden area.

Restaurant busy and we had to ask for our order to be taken. When steaks and frites eventually arrived the food wasn't hot. We were going to theatre so no time to complain! Not the usual Cote experience-disappointing!

q very nice greeting. waiter was very sensible and attentive and kept checking food was as we liked, topped up our wine glasses etc. Food was an excellent standard.

We ate there after a matinee. The place was buzzing - great atmosphere. Great service. Only reason I'm not giving full marks is they had run out of Sauvignon Blanc - can you imagine!!!

The food was excellent and the service very good. I will go again soon! The restaurant is very close t Covent garden and all its facilties.

Very efficient service and delicious food. Location is very convenient. Menu choice is ample. Staff very friendly and helpful. You need to book or you might miss out.

Good service and food The initial welcome was however poor Our waiter was excellent very attentive with all his customers He would do the managers job with ease

Great food and outstanding service. We try and have dinner here every time we get to London from the US. Hasn't ever disappointed us. Good for pre-theatre as well.

We really enjoyed it, the staff were very friendly. The food was very good for the price! We had the Pre-Theatre menu, 3 courses and very good value for money, considering that you are in Covent Garden. It was very busy in the restaurant and we were served in one hour so very efficient.

Excellent breakfast - the French toast and fruit salad sounded an odd combination but worked well. Service good but restaurant very quiet. Air conditioning a bit high but otherwise good and would use for breakfast again.

Nice restaurant & good staff. Friendly welcome at the door and food was lovely. Will definitely be going back for another meal. Good location in covent garden

Wonderful ambiance great food excellent services fantastic value The ideal way to start a theatre evening the set menu was excellent Highly recommended Thanks guys

Fabulous food and greet service. Best to book a table at all times as it is very popular. Very affordable as well. Good selection of wines.

Enjoyed a lovely lunch here last week. Had the set menu which is very reasonably priced for both the 2 course and 3 course option. I had the steak frites which was very good and the chocolate mousse was amazing! Staff were friendly and efficient. Overall a great experience!

The quality of the food on the special pre-theatre menu was not quite up to the usual standard. I had the haddock which had a slightly strange flavour. Starter was good.

We ate off the lunch fixed price menu which is good value for money. Two of us had the Pissaladière Camembert which they said was good but would have liked a tiny bit more camembert on it. I had smoked mackerel which was delicious and would have again. For mains 1 of us had cod gourjons which looked really nice, two of us almost had food envy. She said they were really fresh and not greasy at all. We had steak frites. The steak was cooked really well. But if you’d like some greens or salad I’d recommend ordering a side or 2 between you. For desserts we had berries with white chocolate sauce, crème caramel and apple crumble and all were yummy. Service was also very good. I have been to the restaurant before but my two guests had not and were very impressed and would make a return visit.

The service was extremely slow. We went for a pre theatre meal and waited for about 40 minutes until our starter turned up and this was only after 2 requests to 2 different members of staff. This was the second time in 3 months that this had happened. On the previous occasion one of our main courses was cold and we refused to pay for it at which point the duty manager cancelled the whole bill. The other visit was perfect so it's a bit hit and miss

A lovely meal as usual. We had a table for two booked, but even though the restuarant was very busy, they put themselves out to find a larger table, so our friends could join us. First class service.

The waiter was excellent - the food was a little slow in coming! we were rushing to the theatre and didn't have time for dessert.

The staff were friendly and we received a quick and efficient service. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. A lovely afternoon that didn't feel rushed.

Not quite as efficient as usual for a pre-theatre meal, and the steak (in the steak frites) was chilly and had to be sent back for reheating.

Fast service in a busy location. Smiley, friendly waitress. Excellent food. We arrived early and we were seated with no problem. Ideal for theatre land.

Busy here pre theatre but as usual service was impeccable, 3 course menu for £13.95 was exceptionally good , glass wine to accompany completed our lovely lunch today .

Generally good and friendly service even though very busy. A couple of parts of our order missed which is why not 6 - but very quickly rectified. Food of a good quality, location perfect for theatre.

Good price for pre-theatre menu. Food was excellent. Only downside was the queue to get in (even with a reservation) - the queue was in a crowded area near the door and into the street. But overall very good, with efficient service.

Once again it was a wonderful experience-food was great, service was excellent and friendly. I would rate it above 6 if I could - I will be back again!!

Stunning experience What an amazing time myself and friends had on Saturday evening, beautiful food, amazing service and a relaxed and vibrant ambience. The staff went the extra mile to make this meal a lovely experience and the professionalism was second to none. Will come again very soon.

An enjoyable breakfast with friends before hitting the town. Very good service and price. We didn't feel at all rushed and the atmosphere was great

Excellent meal and value. Very busy pre-theatre and we were late for our meal but the waiting staff were marvellous and managed to seat us and serve us in good time! thank you.

The food was very tasty but service was disappointingly slow and clumsy. Also, the restaurant was very loud at lunchtime. I would recommend it nethertheless for a business lunch or a get together with friends.

My Mum and I were late for our reservation but they had kept our table and were so welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble for the lovely staff here, the excellent service and general ambience along with lovely food, such good value with the fixed three course menu, ensured we thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

Busy restaurant but service efficient and quick. All staff were very polite. No complaints on the food front. Dark chocolate moose is heaven in a bowl.

Visiting my second Cote bistro in a week. Place was full prior to evening theatre time, but service was quick(not rushed), friendly efficient staff. Food was good, hot and well presented. Will be back on November for a celebration with friends. Highly recommend this Cote bistro. Gary and Agnes

The food was nicely prepared, though under-seasoned, and services was prompt for a pre-theatre meal. Cote offers a reliable good product, at times quite good, always better than average.

We enjoyed an excellent meal with very attentive service. Thanks for making our visit very enjoyable for my wife's birthday,the complimentary drinks to start our evening we're most welcome
