Food is great. Service is great. We were back several times during our visit (and already have plans to go back for our forthcoming one in two weeks.)
Traditional British food, awesome brunch. A definite win.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 019 Jun 2023Previous reviewAbsolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. We were here a few times. Food, AMAZING. Service, AMAZING! Staff, AMAZING.
We were already having an amazing trip: the perfect vacation. But this place was the icing on the pie. - 188270172110 Dec 2023
French cuisine offering a comfortable, cozy and intimate experience. During our travel to London, we dined here twice. Night 1 was our mistake trying to squeeze in an entire meal prior to a show which ended up making everything rushed. Cote serves the meal based on starters and main dishes with each serving being perfectly spaced out resulting our night 1 having to leverage to go boxes to ensure we made it to the show. Night 2 we were able to actually manage our time and successfully enjoyed the entire evening with champagne, mixed drinks, appetizers and a meal. The servers are very polished and professional and the food is tasty, fresh and hearty. Thank you!

This little French bistro was so delicious I never had this French wine before... Picpoul... it was light and bright.
And apparently very popular to the people in London...
Enjoy vegetarian dish the delicious calamari and grilled tuna...
The service was amazing so friendly beautiful smiles...Helpful 5Thanks 0Love this 4Oh no 0 - 10 Jul 2022
My review is closer to 3.5 stars, but rounding up as Cote is a solid chain that typically delivers on food and experience. I came here with a group of friends and the food is as expected for Cote. They have a large space downstairs, so definitely would recommend if you're looking for a spot for a large booking with good food and drinks as it's easier to get a large group reservation here.

Great location for shopping and getting a good meal at a great price. A bit noisy but apparently lots of people know about this nice little restaurant.

I came here on a Friday early evening, maybe around 5p; the restaurant wasn't busy at all. I didn't make a reservation because considering I was a party of 1 and I wanted to go before dinnertime, I took my chances. ;)
I ordered the moules frites (mussels with fries) and the portion was massive! They not only provide a discard dish but also a small dish of lemon water for you to wash your fingers from the mussels. The mussels were absolutely delicious - they were so tender, soft, and fresh. I rarely have mussels that soft; it was amazing! The broth that the mussels were cooked in was buttery and savory (but not salty!!). The fries were thin-cut, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside.
Their olives appetizer was also delicious. It was actually a mix of olives, pickles, and other unidentifiable pickled items (hah).
Overall, I would definitely recommend this spot for dinner!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Ryan T.Queens, United States919626024 Oct 2019
Stopped in for dinner while in the area. Friends and I ordered off the Prix Fix menu. It had a pretty nice selection at a very reasonable price.
To start, we ordered a bottle of wine, bread, and Olives. The wine and bread was perfect, but the olive plate had these black ones that tasted horrible. For my personal meal, I had ordered the Charcuterie as a starter and Bœuf en Croûte as my main. Both were amazing and very filling- helped outshine the nasty olives.
As for the service, it was not so great. The restaurant was pretty quite and it still took a while to even get a glass of water. Overall, the service experience aside, the food was great and I will definitely try stop back in next time i'm in town.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Denise F.London, United Kingdom081610 Mar 2018
Me and my friends were both missing Paris and French cuisine. We were definitely not disappointed!
The onion soup was just as good as the one I had in Paris a few months ago, and everything else is just as good!
We went for the set two-course meal (£16.95 each) plus some little extras (an onion soup to share, two sides, crème brûlée, a glass of whine) and let me tell you, the taste was well worth the price (around £60 in total)!
The staff was also very friendly, and kept us our table despite being almost 30 mins late because of bad weather.
Would totally recommend this to anyone who's looking for a nice meal out with a great atmosphere (Soho is one of the best neighbourhoods in London), especially if you're trying to alleviate a bit of French nostalgia.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Loren C.Mountain View, United States506887714 Sept 2016
Tried to go to Breakfast Club but saw the line there and aborted! Walked by Cote and loved that it was completely open to the street. On impulse, went in. Notes:
+ Amazing atmosphere. Soft jazz, windows make inside seating part of the street. Great people watching (though on a Sunday, seems more limited foot traffic)
+ Beautiful heavy bottle for water. Never seen this before. Will upload picture. Absolutely loved it.
+ Very prompt service.
+ Food was excellent. I mean English breakfast is the same everywhere, but there was something about every part of it that tasted fresh and vibrant.
+ Cloudy apple juice. Interesting. Refreshing.
- Coffee sour but possible that was intended.
Mostly the vibe. I could have stayed there for hours. I ended up shazaming a bunch of tracks because I just hoped to slip into the same vibe after returning home by playing a bunch of them.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1
