French inspired cuisine restaurant in London

“Loved our dinner here. Fresh seafood and lovely staff. Decor is very cozy too.”

“A beautifully decorated Parisian Cafe located in St. John's Wood. It is open all day and serves breakfast till 11.30 am. Lunch is available from 11.30 am onwards. Staff is very friendly and attentive despite the crowds. It is a fairly informal cafe with a good selection of food and dessert. Children are welcome. However, be aware trying to find parking in the St. John's Wood neighbourhood could sometimes be a challenge.”

“Nice French brasserie. We had a simple lunch of salad and artichoke. It was good. Nice ambiance. Great service. My only complaint is that the men’s restroom smelled of stale urine. There’s really no excuse for that.”

“Excellent and interesting food. It's really amazing to see a French restaurant produce such good vegan options. Top service, particularly Chanel, the Head Sommelier, who was fun and very knowledgeable. Pictures don't do the food justice due to low light.”

“We love the Cote chain, and finally went to this location on the lovely St Christopher's Way. It, like the others, was super and worth the trip. The staff were so friendly and charming, food great as always, room very busy, but drinks and food arrived quickly. We'll be back. Definitely book as there were queues out the door the whole time we were there.”

“Food was absolutely delicious. Service was excellent and there’s a good reason why this place is hard to get a table at. Great venue, albeit seating is a little cramped (as table of 3) and it’s quite crowded. But made slightly better by the high ceilings and grand experience inside.”

“Visiting this restaurant was a real pleisure. The design and ambience of the place is beautiful, classy and cosy. The staff is helpful and patient. The food was absolutely amazing. We have started off with the French onion soup, which was absolutely flavourful combined with the bread and the melted cheese. The main was moules-frites, with mussels, that had a very soft texture with a delicious sauce. The mayonnaise that you can choose with the frites is creamy and very flavourful, something that tasted to me authentic. The other main was a rather light yet well dressed celeriac steak with a lentil sauce vierge. Lastly the desserts, mixed berry pavlova -  which was sweet sour creamy and crunchy. Whilst the chocolate fondant,  warm chocolate was soft and gooey with some vanilla ice cream to find balance. It was a beautiful experience!”

“Absolutely delicious, the beef cheek Bourguignon was divine and the staff made our experience, just excellent. We have also been to the Norwich branch with the same result.....Cote is an excellent chain, which makes a pleasant change. Thank you.”

“This is my go-to for client lunches in the city. A glass of claret and the steak sandwich (with fries) is simple, quick...the perfect lunch.”

“I just had one of the best crossiant's of my life . The breakfast was great and so were the juices. I can highly recommend this place. They also made a special arrangement for me to get cheese with my crossiant which goes against the French way apparently(the waiter told me)”

“I took my friends for my birthday there, and we absolutely loved it. Amazing atmosphere, super attentive, friendly and professional staff, outstanding food and wine, we were even showed the roof top, even though it was closed this time of the year. Really grateful for the fabulous experience!!!”

“Worth going to for the fish bouillabaisse alone! The broth was divine. The staff are an absolute delight. And, the ambience is relaxed and intimate. We'll definitely go again!”

“Delicious food, attentive staff even as the place filled up. All very professional and well run. Will definitely be back”

“Went for lunch without a booking. It was pretty busy but there were tables available. Great food and all the menu options look amazing. I'll definitely be back to work through it. The staff were friendly and the service was prompt even though it was a very busy lunchtime.”

“Will begin with wide gluten free menu - big plus here. Food was tasty and fresh, great friendly service. Definitely good place for a date or just a casual dinner - going to pop over for a breakfast as menu looks mouthwatering. Thanks!”

“Lovely early dinner with grandsons and my dad, staff lovely, food excellent”

“We had an excellent dinner here! Delicious food with a good gluten free menu and gluten free flags on the GF plates so you know they are actually gluten free :) They staff were very friendly and were wearing masks to keep people safe which was very nice to see. I would highly recommend this restaurant.”

“Great atmosphere, very friendly staff, everywhere it was clean and well organised. In terms of food, we ordered Cheese Soufflé, Grilled Squid Salad and Mediterranean Fish Soup. All three were delicious. However, I would not recommend the Moroccan mezze platter, as it was of a tiny portion. Overall, I would still recommend this place!”

“Cote - Sloan Square was the perfect choice for a pre-concert dinner. I arrived about 20 minutes before my reservation time and I was warmly greeted and seated. I have a food allergy so a manager stopped by the table to ensure that my needs would be cared for. The ambience and decor of this restaurant are very nice, bustling but in a quiet elegant way. I began with a kir royale. I then ordered from the prix fixe menu, selecting the salmon rillettes for my starter. The texture and flavours of this dish were very appealing. I loved the little cornichons and fresh dill. My main course was the pan seared sea bass topped with a fragrant pistou, which was absolutely delicious. My dinner was so enjoyable, and very reasonably priced. Service was excellent. Highly recommended.”

“The best apple pie I had! Lovely atmosphere and friendly personnel! Love it”

“Amazing experience. One of the best wine bars in London, very rich selection of French wines, the food was amazing and the service as well. Many thanks for the blonde waitress Coming back again”

“So my girlfriend of 17 years fancied a french restaurant and while it's not traditional French food the quality is fantastic. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We got chatting with staff about all sorts of things and we felt very welcomed. They gave advice on the menu and we decided to try the calamari and baked cheese which were divine. There was a good portion of both and that cheese was so tasty. The mains were lobster pasta and the sauce was rich and hearty, the lobster was a good size. The wagyu sandwich was a good portion with tender beef. The desserts were so fresh, we loved the millefleur the cream used was so wholesome, the crème brulee was again this crème that hits the spot. They were so nice they gave us one of the desserts as it was my girlfriend birthday. Very kind of them. I highly recommend here for meals. Please press like if you found my review helpful. Thank you”

“Great food even better customer service. Really enjoyed our dinner after the theatre. Management and staff were very professional looking after us throughout our dinner. Would highly recommend this place and will definitely come back again!!!”

“yays: delicious food, souffle was 10/10, deconstructed tiramisu perhaps one of the best we've ever had, pasta brilliant, service impeccable nays: pizza base was too thin to hold shape, bit of a soggy mess there, was delicious though and the whole thing is expensive, yes, but totally worth it.”

“Really nice atmosphere, clean environment lovely helpful staff .had the peri chicken was so tender and juicy had a pizza was cooked to perfection and do try the mojito”

“Went with a group for breakfast. The food was lovely. Staff were friendly and attentive. Coffee were good too.”

“I have been dreaming of the champagne breakfast for a while and it did not disappoint. The staff members were amazingly friendly, and the food was served in a timely manner. I opted for french toast, an americano and of course bubbles. Strongly recommend the Barbican location too.”

“Lovely kebabs and really nice Pizzas, and its also the things like using paper bags for chips and nuggets instead of polystyrene that makes us use this place, my kids won't eat nuggets if they've been in polystyrene because they're always soggy! I don't know how other take aways don't realise some foods are just ruined unless they put them in paper or cardboard”

“Very good restaurant, still bookable and affordable as it recently opened. Being a Cyril Lignac restaurant, I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes famous and/or gets a Michelin star in the future. I do suggest sharing, dishes are not very big so you'd want at least 3 starters and 2 mains to share with 2 people. They have all type of options, however I would say you'll enjoy it more If you can eat fish / seafood.”
