Côte Edinburgh

Very good initial service and excellent with my celiac gluten free requirements. Understood need for gluten free flags for cook/serving staff but maybe remove when given to customer. Due to seemed shortage of staff when restaurant got busy less attentive. However, would return and recommend Cote.

Fantastic food, really good service where you are not fussed on too much, left to enjoy food and have conversations but checked on at the right time. I am savouring the tasty food, crab, duck and creme Carmel. It was all perfect, we’ll be back

Delicious food and wine with amazing service. Everyone was extremely kind and attentive and we thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Thank you so much!

Really lovely evening for my birthday, food was delicious. Would definitely recommend

My friend and I both really enjoyed our lunch and the service was friendly would recommend and will return !

Relaxed Friday lunch. Flavoursome food from a set menu with a variety of choice and very reasonably priced, in cosy yet spacious restaurant with friendly service. Would recommend a visit.

Wonderful attentive service by knowledgeable staff . Would highly recommend

Great place - delicious food and good service. We would love to come back on our next trip to Edinburgh.

Food to due for.. Stunning place with the BEST staff.. Never disappointed.. Would totally recommend this delightful restaurant to everyone x

Very yummy breakfast this morning. Delicious ! Staff as always attentive but not intrusive. Best breakfast in City. If you are looking for a Vegetarian option it's a must. Thank you Cote for a good start to the day !

Excellent lunch for myself and three friends. Extremely good service from very pleasant and helpful staff. We will all look forward to visiting Cote again.

All was well until towards the end of our dinner when we were made far too aware that the staff were anxious to clear up and go home. So the clattering of cutlery and glasses being stowed and night manager standing on a ladder auditing his stock and all staff concentrating on winding up the evening and ignoring guests who were still hoping to finish their dinner caused us to abandon our meal prematurely and depart. The table waiter was charming but badly let down by a weak and ineffectual manager lacking the courtesy and understanding that the situation required. As regular and persistent Côte customers, we were singularly disappointed by this lack of professionalism especially since it spoiled an evening that we had much been looking forward to and anticipating the Côté customer service and ambiance we have hitherto experienced. We were in your Edinburgh (Frederick Street) restaurant. Kit and Julia Chambers

Cote is one of my favourite place to dine in Edinburgh. Like the food and the environment, the friendly staff and the menu. good value for money.

Great staff an£ lovely lunch. Your rhubarb cocktail was just to die for.

I ordered a starter and a side for my main and intended to have it with my husband who ordered a main course. The starter arrived but not the main. The waitress was called and very kindly sorted it out. It seems the main was not on the system. The food was excellent.

Excellent service, delicious food and a vibrant atmosphere. Food arrived quickly and was perfectly cooked. Staff were very welcoming, especially the hostess. window seat was particularly nice.

Great lunch ! Professional service , quality food . Overall excellent !!!

Always lovely and tasty ! We had lunch on my birthday, usually have steak and did this time too ! Nice and Central in the middle of Edinburgh

This is the 3rd time I have visited Cote and with different people and can I say they did not disappoint. The food, the staff and value for money is exceptional. I will certainly be back. Thank you Jackie

Four of us all enjoyed our meal last night. We all ate from the set menu. The steaks were tender, the fish pie was lovely, as was the pork. Good starters and puds too. Lovely buzzy atmosphere in the restaurant, but still had good service.

As usual a really good meal in a great atmosphere and surroundings. The staff were as usual very good without being in your face annoying. The girl at the next table dropped her wine glass and they couldn’t have been more calm about it.

Food and service excellent as usual my 5th visit and never been disappointed with food or service.

Everytime we've been to Côte, it's been a rewarding experience. The plethora of gluten free options makes for easy dining for family with sensitivity and severe allergies.

Lovely atmosphere and food. It is worth a visit and I will definitely be back. Central location no pressure to vacate table and very relaxed.

Superb dinner in buzzy restaurant, friendly and efficient service, great menu choice. A bit drafty near the door but most tables furher away. We plan return.

Only criticism is that I don’t like the “discretionary” 12.5% added

Staff extremely welcoming and efficient (Chris our photographer was funny and very attentive ) . Food was lovely and very good value, it was hard to choose what to have so we will have to go back again !!

We had a lovely meal. The service was excellent . The wine was good and very reasonably priced . The whole experience was good. Well worth a visit. Good to meet friend's or a romantic dinner.

Fantastic. Gluten-free excellence, delicious food and great service. Exceptional value for money

Very nice food and Hugo gave excellent service - great waiter - credit to Côte.

Really enjoyable family meal. Good food and attentive service. Always a pleasure to eat here.

Excellent menu. Great value for tasty food and perfect atmosphere and staff fabulous Popular. Recommend booking Central edinburgh restaurant Wine reasonable We will be back soon Will recommend to family friends

Have lunched and dined here many times. Never been disappointed. Food always first class and staff delightful. Very busy today but staff coped well. Highly recommend.

Introduced another friend to Cote who now (like ourselves) found the food service and atmosphere great. He wishes to return and hopes the ‘salmon rillettes’ will not have sold out next time!

Just beautiful! Gorgeous food, lovely staff and a great value menu. Best chocolate mousse I have had outside of France! I will be becoming a regular.

We are regular diners at the Cote restaurant in West Bridgford and while visiting family in Edinburgh decided to take some friends for dinner last Friday. The food, drinks, service and atmosphere was completely consistent with the very high standards we are used to. Our friends were very impressed, and will no doubt visit again. Well done to everyone.

Lovely family evening spent in Cote. Initially thought we were out of the a5mosphere of the restaurant as in a room at the back but we soon created our own. A couple of slips with the food but the Manager rectified them immediately without question. Would definitely return next ime in Edinburgh.

Food very good at a reasonable price, service could have been a bit quicker but it was by no means slow. We prefer to eat reasonably fast so I wouldn't call it a fault.

Service very slow for drinks. A/c very cold down my back. Did ask for it to be turned down but think it was made colder.

We enjoyed a birthday lunch at Cote Brasserie. The food, service and atmosphere were very good.

We have been to few Cote Brasseries but this restaurant is one of our favourite. Really friendly and welcoming staff and the food was cooked to perfection! Would definitely recommend and will visit again the next time we are in Edinburgh.

On arrival we were shown to a table next to the coffee/drinks servery . We asked to have a different table as sitting in that area is not a relaxing experience. We decided to leave as there was no other table available. One of the staff offered another table right beside the door,on the coldest night in Edinburgh or the choice to wait around in the chance that a table of 6 might not turn up and we could therefore have a table in another area . What a disappointment and not what we expect or indeed have ever expected in any of the Cote restaurants we have visited .

This was the fourth time in two years, and I enjoyed this the least. Service wasn't good, they add 12.5 percent service charge by default even though service was not the best. Food is a bit limited by good. Supposed ly it's a French restaurant, but no bread. It took 15 mins to cook some, they has run out this was 8pm in the evening.

Excellent ladies lunch today. Very well looked after by the staff. We all ate off the lunch special menu & everyone was delighted with the food. my goats cheese starter was delicious. the sea bream to follow was perfectly cooked with interesting accompaniments which married well with the fish. We all had the creme caramel to finish which was absolutely stunning. Very busy, best to book.

Welcoming and attentive staff. Rhubarb cocktail was delicious.Food was superb with generous portions. Special mention for the crab starter and lamb loin chops...could not have been bettered.We were never hurried...All in all a fabulous experience and we will certainly be back. Well done Cote.

A very pleasing meal. Staff were particularly polite and accommodating. Food lovely. A lovely restaurant which is both homely and chic. Thank you. We are local residents and happy to bring friends who visit.

Second visit this month and everything as good as usual. Restaurant fully booked but service and food excellent. I use the restaurant regularly and will continue to do so.

Our servers and hostess went above and beyond to make this a special night for us. We were treated impeccably well and the food was delicious. We will absolutely be back!

Myself and my wife had a lovely lunch. The food was excellent and the service was very attentive and friendly: this was our first visit but won’t be the last.

TBH I thought being a chain restaurant it would be fairly average but I'm delighted to say I was wrong. The staff are courteous without being overbearing and even although on two visits there was a mistake with the order, there was an immediate (and sincere) apology and the dish was provided free. More importantly the food has been consistently excellent so well done. It's definitely one of my go to options when I really need to rely on a good dining experience. Well done to the restaurant manager in Edinburgh.
