We’ve been to Cote a couple of times recently before going to a concert at the Barbican and both times have been very enjoyable. Good food, fast service and a wide range of options! We’ll be booking again for December!

Even though the restaurant was extremely busy the service was pretty good. The staff was really attentive. From the Hostess who greeted us, the waiter who looked after us and the manager who took our payment. Impeccable service! Good value and delicious food! Highly recommend it.

Very busy when I arrived at 6.30 so I had to wait for my food for 20min but service was otherwise very good friendly and courteous. Fish parmentier was lovely as was the chocolate praline tart. I’ll go again.
