Côte - Covent Garden

Food and service good but restaurant very busy and extremely noisy so that conversation was difficult as it was so difficult to hear what our party was saying even at a table for four.

Booking online was easy, all the staff greeted us on arrival with a hello and a smile. The food was delicious and although the restaurant was full and very busy, they managed to give you personal attention at all times.

We were offered a special theatre menu at a great price for 2/3 courses and an amazingly warm welcome from the front of house manager and the waiting staff! The food arrived promptly and was delicious, try the minute steak with fries, it was rally good as was the chocolate mousse! Special thanks to Maria on front of house who's smile and friendly attitude made us feel so very welcome ............... we love you Maria! We will be returning to eat here on our next visit to the theatre.

Excellent! Food was great and reasonably priced. Staff were very attentive and polite. We booked for our 26th Wedding Anniversary and were glad we chose this restaurant. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely old favourites, like the bottle of Cremant and the bread with new mains , lamb rump, tender and tasty for me and Breton fish stew for my husband, both divine. As the restaurant had run out of strawberries my crepe came with caramelised bananas, which beat the strawberries hands down. As ever we will be back. Cote is the best middle range restaurant in London, we are never disappointed.

The meal and wine were excellent as ever. The selection on the menu is always very comprehensive and I think overall Cote offers extremely good value as a dining venue.

Our booking was for 1745 and we arrived at 1740 (approx). We were expected and were whisked off to a table. The sun was shining, it was the Easter holidays and a Thursday, which could only mean one thing! A heaving restaurant! The service was first class, the food was delicious and, despite the number of people, the atmosphere relaxed. A delight.

Arrived 1745 wanted 3 course meal but service slow and had to leave 1915 having time only for two courses later arriving tables served before ours

Cote always serves up a good standard of food. This visit was no exception. But the restaurant was full and noisy. Service was also slow as a result and had to be asked for each time we wanted any. All of that is rather unusual for Cote, but I guess it was school holiday time.

Arrived with friend for pre theatre menu. Both knew what we wanted straightaway so gave our full order. Steak and chips arrived - good but not as hot as I would like and plate not warm. Then waited long time for dessert - apple crumble and ice cream which I love. It took so long we did not have time to eat it because we needed to leave for the theatre. I missed my crumble! I enjoy this menu and eat at Cote about once per month. I was a bit disappointed this time.

was very busy so the service was very fast , seemed like we were being rushed, we have been to a few other cote before and the food was much better than here , food a bit cold

The Food was excellent , as always. The service was very rushed, appreciate it was very busy , hence only giving a rating of 4.

Free glass of prosecco on arrival, unexpected but very much appreciated. Pear and endive salad delicious to start, very fresh and tasty. Steak frites for main which was also delicious. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff.

I enjoyed a fantastic pre theatre meal at Cote Covent Garden. Delicious mushroom and brioche entree, baked fish main. Cote offers always good, always consistent, always excellent service.

Excellent staff. Great food. Could not have done more for us. To be that busy and still make every table feel special is a real credit.

Food and service good all a bit cramped and too close to next tables. Use cote wherever possible as always sure of a happy experience.

We reserved a table for 2 for 1.15pm, got there at 1pm and only had to wait about 5 minutes to get our table. The menu is great, do ask for Pre-Theatre or Weekly Lunch/Early Dinner Menu (depending on where you are, it's the same menu but called differently) as they offer 2 or 3 courses for exceptional price. We ordered all 3 courses at the same time, which might have been a mistake - we got our starters (overly delicious, really great!) and then waited 30 minutes before our server went down to the kitchen and realised they must have not seen our order. We did get offered free drinks on the house as compensation, which was great. Mains were again good food, but we waited an extra 10 minutes on our dessert due to the kitchen having not seen that either - which got us a coffee/tea on the house each. So overall great food, decent portion sizes for the price and amazing customer service - only next time we wouldn't mind getting the food quicker.

Service was good, well attendance from staff. Good food & ambience. Menu was varied, catered for everyone in our group, very reasonable in price , would go again.

Greeted at the front door with a smile and quickly shown to our table. The waiter Arnas was very good and attentive. Wine was great as was the starter, dinner and dessert. A most enjoyable dinner. Have already planned to meet friends there again in just over a week.

Good meal with attentive staff Space was a little tight although it did not spoil our enjoyment of the meal in a restaurant that was really lively

great service and great food as usual. we always go to cote for pre-theatre dinner as great value for money and the food is always delicious.

The food was fabulous and different. The staff were all pleasant. There was a great buzzing atmosphere to the place. We will definitely go again.

Great food but crushed in like sardines. Moved to another table which was better. Service wonderful - staff very cute. Would recommend for pre-theatre - thanks

Great location Friendly welcome Good choice of menus Noisy when busy Waited over an hour for main course - waiters very busy but food very slow to emerge from kitchen As pre-theatre, no time for dessert ☹️ Or coffee ☕️ Love Cote usually but this visit was disappointing

Attentive service and excellent value. We ate off the specials menu (as we often do). Great fish soup; reasonable steak if slightly sinewy. We recommend joining their Rewards programme; we will certainly return.

Great value for money, excellent and attentive service. Ordered pre-theatre and food was timed excellently considering we were there at the busiest time. Well situated for theatres so perfect find - the steak and frites is just the best I've had outside France!

Friendly and efficient staff; good, reliable, basic brasserie food; a lively but relaxing ambience. I woukd definitely return and definitely recommend to friends and family.

We had really good service, the food was authentic French. The best we have had in a long time Did the pre theatre menu which was really good value.

Good quailty food at a very reasonabe price, served quickly by a friendly,helpful staff. We visit london annually, and after eating here last year, had no hesitation about returning here.

Was heaving due to the pre-theatre crowd, and despite booking we were bundled into a distant corner despite other tables being available. Service was sloppy, the waiter not paying much attention. Food was tasty, but not the best visit to Cote.

A reliable favourite - good food at reasonable prices and the service is always very friendly and efficient. Charming location and a warm friendly interior.

Great food, great service and great value. Would definitely recommend. Near Covent Garden and the theatres. Great value set menu. Recommend booking to ensure you get a table.

Delicious food, excellent service. This Cote is very glamorously decorated and it really is an impressive place to dine. Staff are brilliant and very friendly. Can't recommend highly enough.

Excellent! Great service and great food, a real bargain! Would most definitely pay them a visit again! A good variety on the menu, every dish we had was fantastic

Excellent and prompt service even though it was busy. Delicious meal. Although it was very crowded and tables were very close together, the staff managed extremely well. I can highly recommend particularly for a pre-show meal

The service we received was excellent, perfect table for our group of 6 people. Menu suited all tastes and was very good value for money. Both the red and the white wine chosen were memorable. We will go again. Thanks to everyone.

Great food, I had the mussels and steak with frites, some had whitebait and terrine - all was gorgeous. Very good service and close to so many theatres

Service good apart from non delivery of water after three separate requests. Food good. Reasonably priced meal. Draughty seating by door but swift delivery of food as requested. Friendly staff.

The food was excellent and very good value for money. The service was friendly and helpful but a bit slow. This didn't matter as we were not in a hurry, but we often had to ask twice.

Warm welcome, attentive service, excellent food and very good value. Pre-theatre so time mattered, and everything worked smoothly from start to finish. Impressive and most satisfactory.

Good food and excellent value. Very pleasant ambience. Service was very good and the welcome warm. I would recommend this restaurant without hesitation. A wide choice of dishes.

Good food. Excellent value. Great service. We were a group of six and the restaurant was very busy but we were not rushed at all to eat and leave and spent a great afternoon.

No warm welcome as usually given. Waited AGES to be offered menus and be served, on the point of walking out. Food was delicious though.

Excellent all round. Even though we are half hour early for our booking - despite the clocks going forward , we were flagging being tourists! - the staff accommodated us with no problem. Consistently good food & service

The team at Côte Brasserie - Covent Garden - Tavistock Street should be very pleased - they provided an extremely quick service. The food was excellent and very good value.

Excellent brasserie food with quick and friendly service. Good value and a wide choice of dishes. Also nice to have iced water brought straight away.

Easy to book a reservation- staff were helpful and took my booking requests into consideration. Easy for elderly relatives to access and food was quick

Good atmosphere and excellent friendly service. It is a good place for a relaxed friendly get together with friends and family. Convenient for theatres too.

Choice on the menu was good, the food excellent and the service was great. Thought the pricing was good and it was reallyally good value for this part of London.

Food & service were very good. We all enjoyed it and it was special being Mother's Day. My meal came later than the others but the staff were very attentive and I was given olives while I waited.
