So glad our local Cote is back. Great food, lovely staff, nice room and very good value. Nice background music too, which is rare. Do check out Cote at Home - the meals and food from the butchery are similarly excellent.

Good to see you open again and nice attentive staff as always. Felt a little pricey …. all of the add-ons including sauces, olives etc made it quite expensive overall The newly opened Bellanger next door offers a more luxurious environment and sensibly priced food - i think you might need to offer better deals. We want to stay loyal to your brand! Andrew

Overall we loved the return to opening at Islington Green. Yes fewer tables meant less people and a slightly less vibrant atmosphere, but the food was excellent and the portions generous , and the service as always was attentive and friendly - we missed you!!

As usual, very relaxed atmosphere with good food. Great for meeting friends without having to worry about the meal and get on and talk! Still have to learn about trends in drinks – cucumber in a gin & tonic – but all taken care of.

A lovely Sunday lunch with our son. We were sorry that the duck was finished, but we enjoyed the chicken, lamb and pork belly. We were impressed by the good choice for those eating gluten free, and the care taken to ensure food was correctly identified and served. The restaurant was pleasantly busy, and service was attentive without being overwhelming.

I was very disappointed in the food at cote brassiere despite changing my order 2nd time food was still appalling, I opted for the veg breakfast which was undercooked veg sausage, brown avocados and almost burnt toast then I chose the eggs Florentine the hollandaise was disgusting and the muffins were so stodgy and claggy I felt sickly after eating this, don't think I will be returning back

Enjoyed food and excellent value Really helpful and pleasant staff. Pork special deal was actually better than a la carte duck which was a little tough. Really nice bottle of Chardonnay which suited both dishes and gorgeous orange crepe special

I think Cote at Islington is one of my favourites in this chain. Always a warm welcome and friendly service. Today was no different for my friend and I for a rather late lunch which was delicious. French onion soup followed by veal T bone for me and Stilton salad followed by duck for my friend. We even managed a dessert which is most unusual. As always, excellent service from the staff who are cheerful and helpful.

I love this Islington branch of Cote. It’s one of those few restaurants that really feels like a neighbourhood go-to and whether I’m there for a weekday coffee and pastry, weekend breakfast or lunch with the in-laws there’s a guaranteed warm welcome and good service. Please keep it up and thank you!

Not up to the usual high standard,had to send the first garlic/parsley bread back.Tasted like it had been defrosted and not thawed out in the centre and very dry tasting.Also the main course came up immediately after starting eating this and had to go back.Also noticed the usual candles were not put out so maybe this is not happening now.

Four of us had an enjoyable meal though the restaurant was very busy and we had to wait for wine until after we were halfway through our starters, which were delicious. The main courses were very good but my gluten free meal was almost cold which is not the first time to happen in this restaurant. The manager was absolutely charming, he seemed to be doing most of the work and made amends for the waiting time. We enjoyed our lunch as usual.
