This was the first visit to a Cote restaurant and it was based on reviews on Tripadvisor. Even though the restaurant was very busy, the service we received was excellent; but more importantly the food was very good. Was pleasantly surprised when I got the bill; very good value restaurant, recommend.

We are (relatively) long time fans of the Cote chain - Wimbledon and Richmond branches in particular and were thrilled to find another outpost of reaonably priced, good quality French cuisine perfectly situated for theatreland/the West End. The staff understand about the need to be ready for a particular time for a show and will ensure you don't have any... More

A fabulous find for a little bit of France in the heart of London. The best dining experience of my recent visit. From the manager to the busboy, the entire staff couldn't have been kinder or more friendly. My server, Helene was as efficient and attentive as she was charming and lovely. I had the grilled lamb chops with Roquefort... More

Good reviews don't always live up to expectations but the ones for this restaurant do. On arrival we were greeted by friendly staff who took us to our table, the restaurant was busy with a good feel, our aperitifs were ordered and we hadn't noticed their non arrival minutes later when the manager apologised and gave us them on the...

The service was superb. The menu has a great variety. Although there is a lot of meat for such an enviro-friendly restaurant. Food has always been amazing, save room for dessert! Considering the service and quality of the food, this restaurant is very well priced. Cannot flaw this restaurant, everyone should take a look.
