Very enjoyable meal. Nice menu with plenty of options. The bretan fish sea food broth was delicious. service was quick and attentative. I would definitely recommend.
Having been in Winchester for about 50 years, I can honestly say that Cote is the best restaurant to hit Winchester for a long time. Above all the staff are like a very happy family, very attentive in every way and creating an extremely happy atmosphere, on top of which the food is excellent and well presented. My wife and I love going there for all the good reasons and knowing that we will enjoy the visit and be sure of a great welcome and, as I am disabled, they do all they can to help me.
Fabulous food and excellent service. We will definitely be returning.
The service provided by all the staff was excellent, in particular our main waiter Ethan who was friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. The food was superb, arguably the best meal, as a whole, I've ever had in over 30 years of dining out. Well done to everyone and please pass on my thanks to the chef and their kitchen team. You all looked after us brilliantly and contributed to a brilliant 60th birthday for my wife.
Great birthday meal in an atmospheric setting with good service. The team there looked after us very well and did not rush us. The only issue was that the Moules were a bit scrawny.
The usual good food and drink at Cote’s. Had booked for the negronis but my friend wasn’t keen so we just had the set menu. Wasn’t sure about the starters but my pea, mint & courgette soup with pine nuts was very good. I asked if it came hot or cold and the waiter said whichever way I wanted it. I chose hot but think it would’ve been equally good cold. The mint really lifted the flavour. My friend had ham & celeriac roulade and was a bit disappointed it was served separately but enjoyed it, nonetheless. My chargrilled chicken harissa with white beans was delicious and spicy. My friend enjoyed her sea bream. I had your alcohol-free beer, just because I like it, and my friend had a couple of glasses of rose. I’ve knocked off a star because service of the main course was rather slow. We did take a while to order but had been there an hour before it arrived.
The service at Cotes is exemplary and the food is first class. Especially the cream caramel dessert, not to be missed. We are regulars what more can I say
Great food, great evening, and great service. However there were a lot of groups in one space making the environment very loud and sometimes hard to hear each other speak.
Really disappointed that the chateaubriand special was not available. We had an early evening table at 6pm and had already decided that we were going to chose this for our main course as had been sent a link through the newsletter. As we sat down and given the menus, there was no mention that this was not available. So when we ordered we were then told it was not available. We were told that they did not think it would be popular so not enough was ordered! Very disappointed Cote! 😞
We have eaten at Cote in several cities and have always had a good experience. Today we were going to the theatre in Winchester and so I booked table for 2 fro 6pm. Greeted by friendly staff. Unfortunately my partner's risotto arrived with large lumps of congealed uncooked rice - this was pointed out to our friendly waiter who took one look at it and agreed it was not good. He promptly took it away and offered to have another dish or choose something else from the menu. My partner is a vegetarian - ordering aborter risotto would mean a wait and that I would have to eat my meal on my own. Ditto ordering something else. And besides we did not have much time to wait as the show at the theatre was due to start at 7.30pm. So we declined the offer and continued with my chicken meal whilst my partner made do with a small side salad that we had ordered to share. We were not charged for the second meal but no more apology was offered. A most disappointing evening - just got home from theatre, absoultely starving and have had a cheeseburger on toast. My meal of the chicken was tasty but very small and hardly any chicken in it. The staff were, as usual, in other branches, very friendly but such a shame to be let down by the food. Amazed that the chef or the one who served the food onto a plate did not notice - or had they?
Our quiet family get-together prior to an upcoming funeral was made special by the attentive service, good food and pleasant atmosphere. This is not the first time we have visited this restaurant, and it has aways been very good.
The food and service is always consistent. We also believe that you get a good value for your money. We love dining here at least once a month.
Another evening meal enjoyed in our favorite restaurant. Food is always great filling and satisfying. Usual riendly service and value for money. Go try it.
Winchester Cote as usual was excellent. The lamp chops off the May specials menu were particularly good.
Felt like we were in the middle of a runway with the position of our table, then later found out we had been charged for bubbles we didn’t even order..... umm not really very happy about that you need to make it clear that you will be charged when giving the bubbles to customers! But on the flip side the food and service was excellent.
Excellent service and delicious food we have neverhad a bad experience at Cote Braszerie and we have visited many Thank you we will keep visiting we hope
Delicious Food, Lots of choices on each course. Good service. Côte Winchester never disappoints.
Always love Cote, it is so consistent, which may sounds like faint praise but actually to deliver such fine food to a consistently high standard is a credit. Ever reliable like a favourite jumper, my wife and I will continue to come here for great service, great food and a great experience.
Friendly, and really enjoyed the food—fresh Breton style flavors and a great selection
Nice food (although could have been warmer). Restaurant was very cold - we were half a degree from having to wear our coats. Didn’t like the automatic addition of 12.5% service charge. Put me right off and consequently didn’t leave a tip at all on principle. Staff were friendly and helpful. I would recommend the restaurant with caveats
Superb as always Top quality Top food Top service Top table
Great food - but I hope they bring back the veal escalope!! Lovely chocolate mousse - great service we will go back regularly
Family meal to celebrate my Daughter’s birthday. Varied menu and the food did not disappoint. Combined with fantastic service from all the team made a lovely family experience.

Really nice food and good service wilth polite staff. On criticism would be that the portion sizes were fairly small meaning I was still slightly hungry after we had left.
Lovely time at Winchester Cotes. Staff were very attentive and our waiting times for food and drink were exceptionally good. One of my favourite restaurants.
A pleasant evening in Winchester. Good food & wine in a good location. Pleasant and attentive staff.
Delicious food with authentic French character; wide variety of choice of both food and wine good service from friendly and professional staff; great value for money.
Lunchtime rendezvous at Côte, Winchester. Welcomed and shown to our reserved table. From there on, service was on the slow side. Never before have I had to ask for the complimentary tap water! Even once our order was taken it seemed ages for our starter to arrive. However on a positive note the food was good, though I did feel the my icrecream and chocolate sauce was considerably smaller than on previous occasions.
Sword fish was requested rare but arrived over cooked. How was this possible?? Normally I eat at Brasserie Blanc and I would think twice before eating here again.
Lovely food and very good service. Good ambiance and recommended wine was perfect. The missing ingredient was mint sauce to go with my lamb which was the second time I had ordered lamb to be advised that because the French don't have mint sauce with lamb they don't serve it. We are in England! Suggest you purchase some! They tell me they get asked for it all the time. Otherwise my review would have had another star!
Great food and lovely friendly service! Very good value for money.
Excellent service and food. Reasonable value. A bit noisy but tolerable. Friendly, efficient staff. We are regular diners at Cotes across the country and the Winchester staff are up there with the best. Thank you.
Breakfast wasn’t hot, fried eggs were like rubber so were sent back to be re done. We were asked then by 3 members of staff if the replacement was better! Toast and coffee could have been much hotter too. This is our third breakfast visit and each time it’s the same. I think now we’ll not bother again. Such a shame as usually service and atmosphere are pleasant and welcoming, sadly I’m not a fan of cold food.
Cote Brasserie is by far the best chain restaurant group unless the restaurant at Winchester is better than the others. I dine there often and the food and service cannot be improved
A lovely experience great food and lovely staff.Nothing was too much trouble will definitely be returning again. Will be recommending the restaurant to all my friends and family.
Lovely food and great service from very attentive and helpful staff - what more can you ask for. Will be visiting again and would recommend to anyone.
Friendly staff,well presented good quality food in comfortable surroundings.We were meeting up with friends that we do not see very often so it was pleasant to have a chat without noise around us and at no point did we feel rushed to leave.After clearing the table the staff discreetly withdrew.

Excellent service and divine food . A most lovely restaurant and wonderful staff . Will definitely enjoy a meal there again . Highly recommend. Lovely waiter .
Choice of food was varied and extensive. I had Mussels followed by Bretton Chicken which was excellent. The service was professional without being intrusive. Overall a very pleasant lunch experience
Our evening was as lovely as usual. The food was excellent, the rhubarb martinis were fabulous and our waiter was exceptional. Another wonderful evening.
Food standard very good, worth the wait which was a little more than the expected, but not a problem as pleasant atmosphere. Looking forward to going again.
Good food and service. Lovely table too. Did wait ages for them to come and sort the bill out though. In the end we had to ask.
We love eating at Cotes Winchester and probably eat there once a month. The service is always great and the food superb. We were a little disappointed during this visit as some of the breakfast items weren't available, but otherwise a very pleasant visit
Friendly and welcoming staff. Food was outstanding! Pork belly was delicious! Service was great. Highly recommend the Cote Brasserie and book your reservations as it is a very popular restaurant.

Loved it as usual, but the steak was served rather than grilled.
