Côte Islington

The new three courses for 13.50 until 7PM is a real bargain. Starters such as tomato soup or whitebait, mains of minute steak, haddock and others. For dessert we both had iced berries with warm custard sauce. Great wine list and friendly service made it a pleasant evening.

A lovely meal - the fugasse was exceptional! Staff at Cote Islington were very friendly and we had a very relaxed and enjoyable evening. Thank you!

Love this place - the staff are so helpful. The food is lovely. Will keep coming here. My partner is dairy and gluten free and he loves it too.

The food was good was usual. The staff weren't very smiley though except for the new trainee which was a delight. So I would go back again.

Good service, great quality food (we had the English breakfast option). Mother's Day brunch option was good value. Staff are friendly and attentive. Would definitely visit again. Thanks

I’m a regular so slightly biased! However, food and service is very good and Monday seems to be a good night for eating out as not too busy. Boudin noir starter was excellent.

Never disappoints this restaurant as it’s affordable, good food, plus we all had a fun lunch with good service. The Sunday lunch special was great value.

Very nice food ,only complaint the vegetables on the plate could have been more,was a small portion.The service was excellent and atmosphere good,like a French bistro.

Stylish environment with nice lighting, ambience and attention to detail. Nice service, though my only criticism would be an urgency to take our order (it was lunchtime) before we had read the menus. It was not a working lunch, so we had the time to linger. I realise this isn't the case for all customers

Service was extremely good as usual and the vegetarian menu had an attractive range of options. I had the veggie sausages which I really enjoyed although the saute potatoes were disappointingly overcooked and very dry -not up to the usual quality. The special complimentary rhubarb martini cocktail we had was absolutely delicious and I highly recommend it. It's definitely worth taking Cote up on their special offers. Only thing that spoilt the experience was the persistent noise but it couldn't be helped; lesson learnt - don't eat early.

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

Lovely food and lovely service, great price. We come here often. And keep coming back. The breakfast and dinner menus are great. Our favourite place in Angel

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.

A lovely meal. The rib eye steak was cooked perfectly and the chicken was tender. Great service and we loved the welcome bottle of wine. A lovely ambience.

Excellent Service. Excellent Food. Filet Steak could have been a bit bigger. Ambience great. All the staff in the restaurant are lovely. Will he back again.

Very friendly efficient service from cheerful staff. The specific table we had booked was still Occupied so the manager offered us a drink on the house which showed a touch of class. The food represents exceptional vale for money for a restaurant in central London. George Healy

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!

Always an enjoyable experience, friendly, relaxed. Staff are friendly and helpful. Food always of the best quality.

warm welcome, we wanted to share chateaubriand special but it wasn't available, had a good meal anyway

excellent as always - one of our favourite Cote venues. Food was very good and prompt attentive service. Would strongly recommend the lamb main. Good choice of wines also.

Lovely experience nice atposphere and staff were attentive good quality food - steak is banging!

Great service and always a pleasure coming here. My partner and I love coming to this particular branch the staff are warming and the food is always amazing! Thank you for the Gin it was amazing

As always, we had a delicious meal and the service was fantastic. Thank you

Always enjoy our visit to this Cote. Food and service always impeccable. We enquired if we were entitled to the cocktail offer from Quandoo, unfortunately we weren't, but the lovely manageress offered us complimentary drink on behalf of Cote. Excellent!!

The service was appalling. We had pre-booked, but still had to wait while a table was prepared in a near-deserted restaurant. Nobody came to offer us drinks until 15 mins after we had sat down. We had to get up to replenish our own water bottles despite repeated requests. The bread I ordered never showed up. The Irish coffees we ordered took more than 15 mins to arrive and were stone cold. Probably my worst Cote experience ever! As we were hosting a publishing director from New York, I was mortified. I shall not be returning to this branch as this was my second poor experience there in six months.

Very enjoyable evening an the food was of a high standard . Very pleased that we could here our self hear one another which is not always the case in lots of other restaurants.

I regularly visit Cote- Islington. As always the food was lovely last night when I was there with two friends, the service was rather slow though unlike past visits & the staff were not as welcoming.

An absolutely lovely lunch date with the added pleasure of lovely staff with perfect service from our waitress! Food is glorious with an atmosphere so friendly & inviting. Great value at great prices. We shall be back!

Rather disappointing as booked on the May offer of complimentary rubarb martini only to find out it’s not available as ran out of rubarb purée. Offered kir royal instead.

Very disappointed with my experience. The service was extremely slow, our waiter was rude and unwilling to accomodate a few specific food requests, & the food was beyond disappointing when it eventually arrived, which was over an hour after we got there... the excuse for the delay being that by exchanging the bacon with some spinach slowed the order down.

Lovely atmosphere and great food as always. The staff are the right side of attentive and always willing to help. Recommend the cocktail of the month - French 75

Lovely surroundings and conveniently situated. Staff are very attentive but not intrusive. There is a varied menu and the food is well cooked. Always a very pleasant experience.

Great food options here and very attentive staff who paid special attention to my brother vegan. They ended up making a special meal for him as he also cannot have beans, lentils or pulses. I am very grateful to them for their help.

The staff were really lovely and the atmosphere was perfect!

Efficient and friendly service. Made to feel so welcome by all the staff.

Lovely Sunday breakfast. Good quality products. Only down for me was burnt brioche but the rest was fab. Would recommend and go back again

I would have awarded 5 stars but we were a little disappointed that we didn’t get our free martini. We did say we wanted food off the lunch menu initially but it turned out only one of the party had the lunch menu the rest of the table ordered off the a la carte. The free martini was not offered again. Hence the lower star for overall and service. Maybe we should have asked but we didn’t think to do so. We did have a nice lunch despite this.

Great food and very good service. Always friendly, comfortable and excellent offers. This is a go to choice for me when meeting friends in Islington. Always comes unto expectations. Thanks for a great heaven with reasonable prices.

Love Côte. Never fails to please. Miss the Camden branch.

Had a lovely meal and loved the April specials menu. I ordered all the courses and was indeed happy with my selection. Well done guys your menus are just getting better and better. Service was wonderful too. The manager was a really great hostess. Thanks for my birthday drinks and dessert 💕
