Côte Muswell Hill

After a long day out in central London we arrived earlier than intended. The staff found us a table immediately, no waiting.We received good service. Polite and attentive staff. Delicious food, I had the grilled plaice and my husband had steak ( well done as he likes it).

I liked everything,maybe more dishes with french food but the service and the place is very good.I would like came but and recommend the restaurant.

Excellent food and great atmosphere. Would have given full marks except service was lacking - had to ask multiple times for water, wine, sauces and coffee - and the restaurant wasn't even half full. Its a shame because service on previous visits has been good. It won't stop me visiting again.

We have been to this restaurant many times; on our own or with friends or family and it never disappoints. This time it was our Wedding Anniversary (27 yrs) and we started with a Kir Royale which came straight away. The service is always impeccable. Lovely table; pleasant atmosphere and excellent food. The August menu was very tempting and there was also a Cotes Anniversary Menu (10 yrs) - so lots of choice! This was good news as we have practically exhausted the usual menu and fancied something different! I chose the veal which was delicious and cooked perfectly. My husband had the sea bass which which he said was very tasty. There are a few good restaurants in Muswell Hill but this was a good choice for this occasion.

Food was really nice and restaurant very child friendly too. Service was very attentive too. We had a great time and we will be back.

My husbands haddock was very dry and completely overcooked. which rather spoiled the evening. Is starter, Onion soup was good. My two courses were up the the normal good standard.

Lovely food, beautifully cooked and well presented, for a weekend lunchtime, courteously served with a smile in pleasant surroundings. It was good value for money

Our visit was a pre-booked birthday lunch. The food and service was excellent. The General Manager and his staff are always courteous and obliging. Without doubt it is our favourite restaurant in Muswell Hill by far and we will be going back again and again.

My partner and I had a pleasant meal on Saturday night. The ambience is good for a North London French bistro. We both chose plaice from the monthly specials menu. It was nice, but a bit swamped with herb butter for my liking.

Food very tasty, atmosphere pleasant, service very polite, our only issue was we hadn't finished our starters when the main course very quickly arrived as was placed on table, then I had barely finished the main course when this SAS rushed away. We didn't mention this at the time but on reflection felt this made our evening out together feel a bit rushed. We did wonder whether they needed the table, but don't think this could of been the case as the restaurant wasn't very busy and we had arrived almost an hour early for our reservation .

Great food and service.There is also nice, elegant and calm atmosphere. This is the place where I will be coming back definitely. Nice wine selection.Highly recommended.

This is an excellent restaurant with very friendly staff, great food fairly priced & tables spaciously laid out creating a pleasant atmosphere. I would highly recommend this restaurant chain as we have been to several of these restaurant spread over London & have never been disappointed, well done. Kevin & Teresa

Good service and helpful staff. Good food as you would expect from this chain. Steak frites is excellent and great value. A reasonably priced wine list

Great food, as always - perhaps a little understaffed on the night as service was quite slow at times, but staff were friendly and clearly working hard.

Atmosphere is fine, service Ok. Onion soup tasted OK but felt like it was outbof a bag. Hugely disappointed in steak: ordered medium rare and arrived overcooked.

The food is always excellent with some old favourites and some new dishes. The staff are friendly and helpful. The layout of the restaurant is such that you are never on top of your neighbours. It's certainly the best restaurant in Muswell Hill.

Lovely evening with really friendly waitress. Food really good value. We went for the early supper deal and were really impressed at the wide variety on the menu.

The atmosphere was good, and the staff were friendly and attentive, which was surprising on a busy Saturday night. Delicious food, which is reasonably priced.

Lovely restaurant and helpful staff. Food always reliable - although husband's main was a bit to sauce-heavy. My asparagus and steak were really good - chips could be a tad thicker, but they are frites!

Great quality food and service - the waiters were attentive. The kids had a great time. Peaceful atmosphere and clean surroundings including toilets. We love coming here.

The usual helpful and friendly staff who always welcome us. We had the set menu for April which was cooked well and tasted delicious. It was made even better as one of the meals was free due to the Cote Reward system.

A very good experience. My main, 'Poulet Roti' was too dry, but staff were quick to change it for the Breton Chicken dish which was very good. Staff were great. We were all happy with the other dishes.

Warm, friendly staff, nice atmosphere, great food!! This is my go to place for a good breakfast, lunch, or dinner, definitely the best vegi breakfast in town, with a Hollandaise to die for!!

Service as prompt as ever. Food delivered in a piping hot condition and all in our party enjoyed. This is our 4th visit to this establishment in the last 6 weeks ago and what impresses is the consistency in the food preparation and service.

Staff very pleasant , helpful and efficient. Our food was good our party of 4 all enjoyed our choices. It was exactly what we expected .

Pleasant evening. Good service. Above average food. Cote in Muswell Hill is somewhere to have a chance to feel just a little like you are In a real French brasserie.

I had a lovely evening at Cote Brasserie, Muswell Hill last night. The food was fantastic and the staff very helpful and friendly. Thank you for helping me to celebrate my birthday!

Another excellent Côte meal. I have eaten in the Muswell Hill Côte many times and the food and service are always top-notch. There's a relaxed atmosphere and plenty of space.

Very nice meal as usual, good service. The early evening menu is very good value and it's good that it changes every month, so there's always something different to try.

Great food and lovely friendly staff as usual. Thank you for making my friend's birthday so special. I love this restaurant. Staff always very efficient.

The meal was good value, as was the bottle of Muscadet. The staff were excellent, but a bit run ragged by a busy Friday lunchtime. There didn't seem as many staff on duty than is usual, so the service wasn't as efficient as usual.

Wonderful food, dont be put off by their menu options, they do a great vegan french onion soup and a vegan risotto verdi, perfect. Thank you!!

excellent food two of us had the early menu three normal menu. The waitress was very charming and pleasant with a good sense of humour. Most enjoyable couple of hours.

Busy but good service. Would say it is nice good quality food but lacks the special feel of an independent restaurant. Food could be a touch more reasonably priced.

The restaurant was well located on the main high street. We went for breakfast and service was very attentive. There was a problem with the poached eggs, being over cooked, but the staff reacted very professionally, swiftly providing a fresh replacement breakfast, I cannot commend the staff enough

Tables are nicely spaced and there is a good atmosphere. Not too noisy despite being just about full. Food is good and staff are friendly and efficient

Food very good, service also good, wine good. Very busy day for you. We will come again and no hesitation to recommend you to our friends.

Sorry but steaks were not as ordered My sons fillet medium rare was full of gristle to the point he had to go to the loo to spit out and my medium well done was a grey dry inedible steak. I tried to tell waiter but he just ignored! I have always had good steaks up till now so very disappointed

Lovely ambiance, helpful staff, food what one would expect from Cote. However, the spinach in our meal today was extremely salty (it happens) and not impressed by Hollandaise sauce, it tasted like from a jar rather than freshly made, it tasted oily rather than buttery. Overall, a very good experience.

As usual, the breakfast was very enjoyable and the service and atmosphere pleasant and condusive to a peaceful social experience. The food was of the correct temperature, fresh and attractively presented and quickly served. The good quality of the breads , butter and jam were notable. The reason I have given a 5 and not a 6 is just that, after our friendly waitress left, it was a little difficult to catch the manager's eye for further sevice, however, myself and my two companions all enjoyed our visit.

As always amzing service, amazing staff and amazing food. Higjly recommend . . . Never miss a chance to go eat here every week. We love this place

I felt that Cote was struggling today. I know it was Mother's Day but.... 1. No table was ready for the six people in my party. 2. We had to make our own suggestion to put tables together to seat us comfortably ..to begin with we were given a table for 4 and as I said we were 6. 3 My husbands starter arrived with his main course. 4.We were charged for the 4 complimentary "Kie Royales" and had to point this out to the waiter. This was later reimbursed.

This is our "default" restaurant and we love the atmosphere and the food and usually the service which is fast and polite and friendly. this time, however, there was new staff who just werent with it. we waited way too long so the usual 5 star rating has dropped to three and frankly, would be lower if we didnt usually love this place.

We were seated next to the prep/till area and could hear conversations between the staff. Much of the conversations were negative and also reprimanding a new staff member for being too slow. This was off putting. We received our drinks and the glasses were warm and with only one cube of ice. Apart from this the staff were friendly and food was good. The side order of fries was tiny. We have been before and would go again, but maybe sit in a different spot.

Did not stay... Awful table next to toilets and very unhelpful staff unwilling to move us / too lazy to alter their table plan. Not good

The meal at Cote Muswell Hill was disappointing - soup was luke-warm and the fish cakes were bland with no crispy coating, a boring rocket garnish and a crude sauce. I have eaten there before and the food was far better on the previous occasion.

Very tasty meal. Restaurent catered for my daughter who has coeliac disease very well! Enjoyed the complementary wine too. Staff were all pleasant! Definitely will return! Thank you!

Lovely birthday at cute brasserie muswell hill, have recommended it to my friends. Excellent service and great food. Going again this weekend with different friends - superb!

Excellent food and customer service. Reservation easily found, choice of seating, food was delicious and served very quickly and overall very nice atmosphere and staff.

Cote never fails to please. In my opinion, it's the only chain to be consistently good and hasn't gone into the downward spiral that all the others have as the number of branches increased.
