Côte Brighton restaurant

Excellent menu, great service, lovely to sit outside in the garden in lovely weather. All is perfectly summarised in that short sentence. Overall very enjoyable.

Consistently well priced and tasty food and good service. Always a good choice of restaurant in Brighton with a great atmosphere. Both my courses were from the 'May specials' and were excellent.

We experienced a relaxed atmosphere and excellent friendly service from all staff. The food was great value with fresh seasonal ingredients. We will be back.

Service friendly. Food tasty. Caught the set menu so affordable. Bit of a wait for main course so had to eat quickly as going to theatre.

Great food as always and amazing service from the staff, who really made my daughter's birthday special. We all enjoyed our evening thoroughly. Thank you!

I always enjoy dining at Cote whether it be in Brighton, my home city, or Chichester or London. Today the food was excellent as was the service and my guest very impressed.

We had a fantastic 1st experience, food and service was great. We would have liked a a little longer break in between ordering starters and main.

Cote Brighton always offers great value, with great food and a great service. What's not to like on a balmy May evening with great friends?

Fantastic food and service. Don't plan to have a drink there before your meal or you will be turned away. Book beforehand too. The atmosphere is buzzing and the restaurant surroundings very attractive and mellow.

Reasonably good, but I did not enjoy this visit as much as other visits. First we were offered to be seated upstairs, it was extremely hot up there and quite dark, which would have been ok f it hasn't been v light out. They moved us as soon as I requested. Restaurant is pleasant and spacious. Downstairs we were seated right opposite the door, good as cooler but had a queque of people to our side. The service was ok but not especially attentive. The gluten free menu is good but the dish I chose, poulet grille was quite plain and there was an extra charge for a sauce, which was a nice wild mushroom and creme fraiche one, but for some reason this was just included on the ordinary menu. Desserts were good. I have enjoyed other visits more but generally like this place.

Lovely attentive and friendly staff - extremely busy, but to be expected as was over a bank holiday - excellent quality food at a reasonable price

I normally have an amazing time at Cote but the place was too hot , my pudding was soggy and we had to wait ages before our order was taken. Disappointing experience.

Was greeted and seated. Drinks order taken. The food order was taken following delivery of our drinks. We didn't have to wait long to be served and the bacon and egg salad we had as starter was delicious. We followed this with the chicken dish with the beans, olives and tomato. To end the meal we just enjoyed a coffee. Altogether a very enjoyable dining experience

I've eaten at Cote several times. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. It was very busy but the staff were still attentive and efficient. A consistently good place to eat.

We were greeted on arrival by manager who was delightful. The service overall was first class. The food was up to its usual high standard. Have been visiting Brighton branch from first day it opened and only once have had an issue, which was speedily resolved. Thank you

The air-con was broken and it was extremely hot upstairs. The staff looked like they'd collapse. There were places downstairs but we weren't offered one.

Lovely meal with friend at Cote Brighton. Smoked Mackerel Rilletts starter was delicious. A few salad leaves were pale and sad around the edges. Sea Bass main also excellent. Won't have the choc pot dessert again; a bit small. Good value set meal.

Fantastic meal really good value with set menu. Spoilt a bit by efficient but unfriendly waitress, all other staff excellent. Excellent wine at good price

A great place to go to celebrate anything. Feels like a little bit of Paris in Brighton. Not cheap- but not ridiculously priced either. The food is good and consistent, but it's the atmosphere that makes it worth the visit. Try and sit downstairs as upstairs feels a little out of the buzz. The creme caramel is worth the trip alone......

Good food and nice service. Comfortable restaurant. Went for the set menu which portions are smaller but more than enough for lunch time 3 courses. Will go back.

I have been a fairly regular customer at this branch over the years but the last few times I have noticed the service standards are not as professional as they used to be ,it's the attention to detail that seems to have gone .The food is nearly always excellent ,although on occasions cold but this has always been rectified immediately .One thing today was the fact I paid cash for the meal & had to ask for the change & receipt ,this is not the first time this has happened .It was not a large amount but with the 12-5% service charge already on the bill change should be returned to the customer .I did have a word with the meeter & greeter /maitre d' about the service as I felt she needed to know as you may be losing customers because of little things like this .I have a table booked next week hopefully things will have improved .

Fantastic food and excellent service with professional mannersz loved the buzzing ambience. Had a such a lovely evening, I will definitely go back to Cote restaurant again.

Lovely meal restaurant has such a great atmosphere really nice friendly staff - love going to Cote Brighton - food excellent and very reasonably priced! Got free glasses of Kir Royals through the Cote Reward card!

We have never been disappointed with the food and service here. It is also close to the theatre and shows nearby. Early dinners are very good value

Lovely meal at Cotes on Thursday evening. Service was great - friendly and attentive. Food was delicious and the atmosphere was buzzing. We loved it!

The service was very attentive and our meals were served promptly. The onion soup was excellent but asparagus was not presented well and a little unappetizing. Creme caramel and creme brulee were lovely but it was disappointing that apple crumble could not be served with custard. The vin maison was fine.

The staff were polite, cheerful and helpful and the food was superb. Two small points that dropped the score from 6 to 5, and those were 1) there was quite a wait between courses, which we could understand for the main course, as it was all freshly cooked and beautiful, but the dessert was a pre-prepared one, and could have been with us within minutes, especially as the restaurant was by no means full; and 2) there was a service charge on the bill, which we were quite happy to pay, as the staff had all been very good, but we would like to have had the choice of how much to reward them.

Service very slow we waited over 10 minutes to place an order and our food came before our drinks which we had to chase. This isn't always the case at this restaurant have always had great service possibly just an off day. Food was good.

We always find that the food and service is very good, as was the case today. I had the same meal in London last week!

Fabulous as ever. Love Cote, superb ambience, friendly, helpful staff, and great value delicious food. With a great benefits as part of the loyalty scheme.

Nice - nothing to complain about, nothing to get particularly excited about either. Food was good but not great. Lovely room. Pleasant service. I would come again.

The service was good, however the food was not up to the usual standard. I had the asparagus risotto which was ok but covered in wilted discoloured watercress! My husband had the chicken,avocado, salad and due to the stacking system, (fine for hot food,) didn't work as the salad was warm , very unpleasant. Overall we felt the standard had dropped sadly.

Overall very enjoyable as always. Pleasant service and good food. Only downside was the starters menu which had dropped both my favourites since last visit.

Excellent food and service , great atmosphere .My only negative comment is that sitting upstairs lacks that cotes hassle and bustle that makes this restaurant a fantastic place to eat.Have eaten here many times and never had a bad meal .

We were looking forward to the Brighton Festival's evening concert of classical music which we booked months ago. The only place we felt would match the high quality of the performance was to start with equally good meal & drink in an elegant place, good service and pleasant atmosphere. The Cote Brasserie absolutely ticks all these boxes for us. We dine there regularly, whether it's a dinner or lunch, a family celebration or going out with friends. More than that, we find the same quality of food and service at this restaurant chain in other places we visit during a year, London, Farnham, Winchester, to name just a few. The online booking is quick and simple, the menu and all the latest additions such as May Specials can be browsed in advance. The staff is very well trained and very helpful. Thank you for looking after us.

Huge delay waiting for main course despite reminders. They knocked a chunk off the bill to compensate but overall this was a disappointing Cote visit.

As always my guests and I were delighted with the food, which never fails to be excellent. The staff should also be mentioned for their attention and charming manners. All in all another very successful visit

Good meal and service as usual, but small portion of tuna disappointed. Front of house responded with comped desert which was appreciated, otherwise it would have been a six.

excellent food and great value lunchtime menu, restaurant was busy as usual. service staff were very polite and professional throughout. Good positive experience, will return

Beautiful building and room. Visited on a Sunday at 7pm and the ambience was great. Service was excellent and the food was beautifully cooked and served. Perfect for couples or families.

Fantastic food, and value for money. Waiters need to relax a bit. When they are rushing around, there is a feeling of hurry-ness. But overall a very satisfied, and we look forward to our next visit.

I usually visit cote en route to the theatre and enjoyed the food on the set menu. The service is always good, as is the food.

We had the usual wonderful meal at Cote in Brighton - the service is second to none, the atmosphere superb and the food sublime as always.

Great Service Fab Food One of the best meals in Brighton. Good location right in the centre of Brighton and close to the station. Will revisit soon.

As everytime we go, good food, good service and very good value for money. The menu has something for everyone and the monthly specials offer further choice. French brasserie cooking at its best.

Lovely food. Air conditioning needs adjusting - it was very warm A smile wouldn't go amiss! We would like to know more about the history of the lovely building

Great food, excellent service as always. My lamb rump was melt in the mouth, and the chantilly cream crepe - Happy Days! We'll be back again very soon

We requested and received a table by the window as it can be rather noisy when busy. The food and service were very good. Good value at £10.95 for two courses. My companions particularly enjoyed the Cream Caramel and the Peach Crumble with ice cream. A good experience.

Polka dot guy on the door was fabulous, and the food was great. Olives were a bit wrinkly though, like they had been in the bath a bit too long.

As always, Cote Brighton serves an excellent menu and a great atmosphere in the beautiful old music library across from the Brighton Dome concert hall. The service is always good and the staff friendly and helpful.

We always find that the food and service is very good, as was the case today. I had the same meal in London last week!
