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.

Food was excellent and the staff were their usual friendly and welcoming selves. As it was Shrove Tuesday we rounded the meal off with the excellent Crepe Grand Mariner. Brilliant

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.

As always an excellent meal - my favourites being The French Onion Soup, Half a Breton Chicken and frozen berries. All well prepared and service as usual excellent

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

Excellent service and delicious food served. I will definitely come back to dine in this restaurant again. Quality of food was amazing. Highly recommended. 10/10 !

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.

Good, tasty and well-cooked food, bustling yet quiet venue (could barely hear any music and as a result could hear friends talking without shouting), good service and good prices.

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

Great staff, always with a warm welcome. good service, and exceptional chef Would recommend

Always a great option ahead of an event at the Union Chapel

Complimentary cocktail was lovely. Staff friendly as always. Our favourite place to eat as a weekly post work treat. Food always tasty and great value for money.

Four of us had an excellent lunch. The rhubarb cocktail is absolutely delicious, the asparagus dishes we had for starters plus the salmon special and the sea bass were perfect. Our puddings were also up to your usual high standard though one of our party's personal taste was for a softer taste de pommes than she got. Wine and teas excellent too.

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.

Always great, food & service is spot on. Had a wonderful time

For once a great London restaurant that is not screamingly noisy. Food was delicous. Service was great. This is a gem in Islington which I will certainly revisit.

We love Cote! The service is always slick and smiley, and the breakfasts delish! Will be returning for sure. Sorry for opening the display jam jar! Many thanks Islington team.

This was our second visit to your establishment (previously, we were there in March '19 and enjoyed it then) The food, the service, the atmosphere - everything, was on point! My two friends and I have decided to make Côte our meeting place at least 3 times a year! Special mention to the young Italian man who served us - he was kind, friendly, courteous and very efficient. I absolutely love this place. Now - I will recommend it to others but I must hasten to add that I am somewhat reluctant - as I (we) now see it as our place! Well done, and keep up the good work. Praises to your Chef and kitchen staff! From 'Happy Eater'

Food and service at Cote Islington was up to its usual high standard. Only the noise level, which made conversation difficult, detracted. However, the manager reduced the background music level when asked, which helped. Perhaps Cote will consider some sound-absorbing furnishing.

Excellent food, good service, nice surroundings and good wine. The lamb rump with fennel was cooked to perfection, as was the calamari. Always good value for money.

Great food, lovely setting, friendly and helpful staff - thank you!

Very friendly and food always well prepared. We go to the Islington restaurant a lot and have never been disappointed. The moules and frites are particularly good.

Staff were welcoming and helpful. Food arrived in good time and order was all correct.

A great experience and good value. We will continue to come here often.

Good food, served imeccably as always. This restaurant never disappoints, in my opinion it is one of the best in Islington. Staff always pleasant and welcoming.

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.

Superb food & fantastic staff. Thank you Jack & co for looking after us.

this Cote has really lovely staff. The female manager, Marta, always makes sure you feel welcome and the waiting staff are helpful and nice. Great team.

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.

I had booked a table to celebrate my 40th Birthday!! It was so stylish and great! Only complaint would be some people did not get their whole order all at the same time. Other than that we all had an amazing time!! The serving staff were friendly and very helpful!!

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.

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

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!

Lovely food and great staff who've been there for some time.

A warm welcome. I mentioned when booking we were celebrating my friends birthday, we were given a complimentary Kir Royale which was very much appreciated and enjoyed. The sevice was excellent as always. Food tasty, lots of choice. Reasonable prices and relaxed atmosphere

Well first off we decided to go a whole 2 hours before our actual reservation and they were able to accommodate us. So that was the first win. I'd reserved online initially and put down that one person was dairy and gluten free. As we were seated at our table, a gluten-free menu was immediately presented to us, without having to ask. And it was the same size as the normal menu! The staff were amazing, the food was yummy, they didn't make my partner feel like he was a nuisance for having dietary requirements. Definitely going back.
