Côte Edinburgh

Food good, service a bit rushed and lacking atmosphere in back of restaurant but otherwise a decent meal and staff friendly if a bit keen!

We had excellent service. The food was of a very high quality. Value for money was amazing . We were served our food quickly. If you only had an hour for lunch then this is the place to come. You are served quickly if you want to be or take as long as you like. They do not hassle you to move on.

Food was average I think. The venue was fine and the staff good and attentive. I had hoped for better food and so I was a bit disappointed

Wonderful, a great lunch menu. Lovely friendly staff, & good deals. Central location and consistently good. Great choice of wines. Outdoor seating if the sun is shining.

Good service good food, restaurant was very busy, but no delays food arrived well cooked and hot. Be happy to recommend restaurant and would visit again.

The ambience, food and service were, as expected, excellent - and exceptional value for money. My only criticism is that the restaurant was pretty cold so we felt we had to eat quickly to prevent our delicious food going cold. I hadn't appreciated there was an upstairs dining area so had a quick look and it was Baltic up there with windows open at each end so perhaps the draft was seeping downstairs. For me, this does not make for comfortable dining.

Disappointed that there were no mussels available. Vegetarian dishes (cous cous) was really not very good at all. Pepapers and courgettes were practically raw, aubergine was over-salted, cous cous lacredit flavour and was cold. However I was not charged for my meal. Service was good. Sitting near airports conditioning meant it was rather cold. It blew the candle on our table out!

Really enjoyed this grown up venue with good food and service- value for money- will certainly be back. Confit of duck a triumph- felt as if I could be in France!

Nice venue, well located in a nice part of town. Three course set menu was exceptional at £13.95. Loved my bacon and egg salad and my steak frites in particular, and eating gluten free was easy.

This was the second time I'd been to this restaurant. The service, food and ambience in the restaurant were as good as the first time Thank you for a great evening

Food was nice. The main course however was brought out while we were still drinking our aperitifs and eating our starters. A lack of basic restaurant procedure it seems. Not the end of the world but annoying. Also the 12.5% optional service charge which is added to the bill so that you may opt to have it removed is irksome. The server lacked any charm or grace which may have merited a tip so to pay 12.5% for decidedly mediocre service is definitely overcharging. All in all, I won't rush to go back.

The food was very good and well presented. The atmosphere was pleasing and comfortable and the service was attentive, prompt and polite. I object, however, to an automatic addition to the bill of 12 1/2% even if the restaurant says in the small print it's removable. It gives no incentive to the staff to maintain a good service and so encourage the customer to tip accordingly.

Great food and service as normal from Cote.very accommodating in adapting a dish to suit my personal tastes.very relaxing atmosphere in a great part of town

A pleasant lunch. Welcoming, helpful staff - with curious (faux?) French accents. Wondeful food and I like the monthly changing menu. Reasonable prices and portions. Would recommend.

Great foods always , great service waiter and Manager so very pleasant, great atomisphere, this is the thrird time we , the Ladies who lunch have been there. We will be going back.

As always, great quality food, at fantastic value, with friendly warm staff for boot. Highly recommended. Happy they have opened in central Edinburgh -thank you

Had a lovely lunch here today. We had two courses for 10.95. A good selection of dishes and great value for money. Very handy for Fringe shows in the Assembly Rooms.

Great food service and wine as always! Visited Glasgow cote several times and will now add Edinburgh to my list of favourite eateries in the city

It was a Sunday evening so perhaps they can be forgiven that three of the main courses were not available. Given the reduced choice what we had was very well presented and tasted wonderful.

It was a very good meal. Varied menu with tasty food. Staff were attentive without being overly so. Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo

Excellent food and service will definitely return. This was a birthday treat for my sister in law and she is looking forward to another visit in the near future.

Another good dinner for the early evening menu. Great value and very flavourful food. Service good as always. A bit noisy crowd in but that couldn't be helped

Lovely fresh French food and fantastic service! Very accommodating and helpful. Reasonable prices. Plenty of tables but lots of atmosphere . Will be back soon.

Experience was not up to par, service average food reasonable but overpriced. Place was busy but tables to close together. Had to reorder drinks as they were forgotten and waiting staff more interested in chatting to each other than attending to customers always a bad sign when the service charge is automatically put on the bill.... why would the staff overreach??

We had a lovely breakfast ,freshly cooked to order .The service was excellent. Great coffee .The 'formule ' offer is really good value . Will be back .

This is a lovely restaurant with good food and service. We had the set menu which was very good value and we all had a very enjoyable evening

Good food, excellent service. Prefer to be in front part of restaurant or middle. Back lacks atmosphere. Object to 12.5% optional service charge added. Although it is optional still feel it should only be 10% at most. Prefer to give tip as I feel fit even although I think service here is excellent.

First visit - very welcoming, friendly staff, so attentive. Food delicious and a great choice from an extensive and varied menu. Will definitely be back

Automatic service charge of 12.5% added to the bill for a table of 4 is a little presumptuous, especially when the service does't necessarily warrant anything higher than the standard 10%.

Excellent choices on today's table d'hote menu- well cooked and delicious! Both my friend and I were well pleased with lunch and will return. Maybe a small chunk of brown bread would have completed the fresh asparagus soup? Maybe a couple of new potatoes could have been served with the sea bream? Just a small touch to enhance the dishes. excellent service too, thank you all.

Good food with wide choice Excellent service was swift and courteous Super white wine Nice ambience upstairs Guests from Glasgow enjoyed the view also We will return

It was an excellent meal. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I will certainly go back again and I would have no hesitation in recommending to other people

Really amazing lunch. Great service, the food choice was really great and everything was cooked perfectly. I am already looking forward to a return visit hopefully not too long in the future.

Three generations of the family had a delicious lunch at Cote Edinburgh today - The menu was really interesting as well as the staples hamburger and steak frites for the boys the rest of us had a really good fish stew, haddock cooked in bacon with lentils and veal. All were delicious and beautifully cooked. The service was first class . A good wine list lovely puddings - faultless and good value . We will certainly return -

Family meal out with 6 adults, great atmosphere and service. All meals were very good quality. The waitress even ok my sons phone away and charged it for him.

We had an excellent lunch at the Cote Brasserie Frederick Street Edinburgh today. We both chose the duck breast and this was first class as was the service. We would thoroughly recommend this restaurant

Delicious food and great service as usual. Firm favourite with the family and regularly go for meals here. Would definitely recommend to friends and those looking for somewhere to eat in the centre of town.

We had a lovely lunch. The staff were very friendly and the service was as one would have wished. We shall be back again soon.

Great atmosphere, food, drink and service. Unfortunately staff sat our guests at the wrong table out of our sight - I went to look for them after 15 minutes and we were re-united. However, a free glass of wine and coffee each helped ease the pain. We will return!

As usual at any Cote perfect service superb food The hake was sublime, peach crumble tasty Special thanks to Sergio for his attention to detail

This place serves fantastic food and the service is great all in a very pleasant pseudo French cafe environment. I will definitely be back soon!

Enjoyable experience, food good. Not Hugh portions, but this appears to be the norm now, in our eat less, health conscious society. The staff were friendly, did not feel rushed, sat as long as we liked, would recommend and I am going back again soon.

Fabulous service, everyone was really friendly. They very kindly gave us complimentary champagne cocktails for our anniversary. Food beautifully presented and delicious. We loved it

Have been to this restaurant many times before.... The service was good wit the exception of an overfamiliar host/manager. The food was simply not as good as previous experiences - specifically the main courses... we the chicken and the fish stew. The Muscles were delicious but do not come with any bread! It is one of the few Edinburgh restaurants that add a service charge on!

My husband, daughter and I visited Côte Brasserie, Edinburgh for the first time and were extremely impressed by the staff. The service was first class as was the food and the atmosphere. I would not hesitate to go back again and would highly recommend the restaurant to family and friends.

Service very good and friendly but I ordered a coffee to have when I finished dessert but it didn't come. It was on the bill so the charge was taken off with apologies from the staff. Also optional service charge was added on without asking us first which I resent. I opted not to pay and left a tip instead. The food was great, choice excellent, we had a lovely table and we really enjoyed our Fathers Day treat.

Really good value Tasty beautifully presented food and portion size just right for lunch My friend's first visit and she was really impressed You have a new customer

Excellent value and attentive staff. Good menu choice and restaurant location. Exactly same as Cotes in Windsor and Sloan Square, so no surprises and similar value

Really good value for money lunch and good choice. Only downside is the service charge added to bill. Did not notice until after we had paid or we would have asked for it to be removed and we would have added our own gratuity.

Food was lovely with a good choice on the menu. The waiter was very helpful and very attentive. Price also reasonable. Would recommend and will certainly be back again.
