Delicious meal at Cote Lewes last night. Sadly, the vegan menu with the lentil stew is not currently available due to the pandemic but the chefs were very accommodating. I had the Chicken and Walnut salad but instead of the chicken, they roasted portobello mushrooms. Really nice. And for the mains, they produced a linguine with roast vegetables. A very enjoyable and tasty meal.

Great service from our waiter but the main course came immediately after the starter. Far too rushed and spoiled the experience especially since our table was booked for 6pm. On the positive side, the menu iss always fantastic!

We were celebrating my wife's bus pass birthday and enjoyed our meal at Cote. All the dishes were great and really tasty, and asked Jack our waiter to pass on our compliments to the chefs. The service was also excellent, Jack looked after us well in a friendly and helpful way and made a good wine recommendation for our next time at the restaurant -which we will follow up!

Catching up with friends - excellent food and friendly, polite and efficient service - everything felt very well thought through in terms of safeguarding the health of customers and staff but maintaining a relaxed atmosphere. Very good value. Looking forward to returning.

Really fun evening. Attentive and friendly staff. Being an ex-chef my only criticism was the butter atop the parfait wasn't softened. Literally that's all I can find to moan about! Well done!

We really enjoy going to our local Cote restaurant in Lewes. Service always good with friendly helpful staff. The only small downside was the seating next to the window which was fine at the start but got a bit cold after a while

A shame the full vegetarian menu was not available. My friend ordered haddock from the special menu but was served haddock goujons. The staff were apologetic and corrected their error and did not charge for the haddock. This response to the initial error was faultless.

The staff were so lovely. The food was fantastic and We had a free kit royal thrown in as well so I. The whole a 5 star experience. I took my mum and dad and they both said they would definitely come back and that it had been one of the best meals they’d had. We shared the ChateauBriand and mum had the fish stew and they were perfect.

A delicious lunch, it felt very safe, we were in a booth, the service was just the right balance so there when needed and in the background when not. Highly recommended. Would say that the other diners if noisy make a table at the front the best option but really fine anywhere. Would not hesitate to recommend as a place with a sprinkle of special about it.

Great experience overall, really friendly and accommodating manager and ditto our waitress. Blanc de blanc was delicious as was food, first time I’d tried the lamb rump and I loved it. Sorry I marked it down a star but being picky the roast veg were a bit on the crunchy stage. But much enjoyed and it’s great for Lewes to have one. Happy days!

Excellent service. Delicious meal, as always experienced here in Lewes. Difficult times for restaurants at present, due to COVID-19 restrictions, but a little disappointed with the very restricted menu choice. Missing our favourites like moules, beef bourguignon and other french classics previously offered.

We had a delicious lunch on Sunday - Chateaubriand - can thoroughly recommend - salad properly dressed, meat cooked perfectly, bernaise sauce great. Staff were friendly and professional. We will be back.

A perfectly amazing birthday celebration for my wife. We were greeted with Kir Royale on our arrival. The staff were most helpful and friendly, bringing menus, advising on wine selections and making recommendations suited to our dietary requirements. Our choices of food were just the right size, cooked to perfection, and absolutely delicious. The dessert, complete with a lighted candle, completed the whole experience.

The portion have gone down in standard and presentation, versus the price. Steak and frites is bland and looks uninspiring. Some leaf on the plate (as you used to do) would be nice. The taste is good but doesn’t look good. Overall a nice lunch but not good value for money!

Really lovely evening, I requested perhaps we could have a cosy spot when I booked online as it was our anniversary and upon arriving we were sent to a nice part of the dining area and then to our surprise offered two glasses of complimentary wine, a lovely and unexpected gesture. The waiters were very attentive and friendly. Food was excellent as was the wine we chose. This is our third trip to Cote in Lewes and will be returning.
