    Extremely busy and noisy.. More than I expected but given it's the run up to the Xmas period.. Waiters very courteous and attentive. Had a range of starters as opposed to mains. French onion soup delicious and beetroot salad surprising. Disappointed in the side salad with avocado as only 2 tiny pieces of avocado 😞

    Overall very enjoyable. Most of us had the Christmas menu. There were a couple of dishes that were sold out which was a bit disappointing. I’d say the pumpkin soup was a bit on the small side but otherwise portions were pretty good and food was tasty. If you’re looking for a nice dinner with friends on the South Bank this is a pretty safe bet.

    We booked at the very last minute after receiving bad service at another local restaurant, & headed over to Cote instead (literally booking 15 minutes in advance). Despite being the busiest Saturday of the year, the team were friendly, knowledgeable ... rushed off their feet but efficient & our waiter kept his sense of humour. Food quality was great despite the full-house. Overall a great experience ... thank you for saving what could have been a disastrous evening elsewhere!

    We sat outside on a chilly night but the patio heaters and blankets made it cozy. Lovely food, prompt and impeccable service, and we were steps from our concert at Royal Festival Hall. Highly recommended!

    The staff were so lovely with a sense of fun ! No one hassled us to give up the table. My meal was delicious and you know you’re going to have good basic french food. Thank you for a great night xxx

    Palatable food but unremarkable. Tables were packed together so it was cramped and uncomfortable.

    Went here to meet a friend. Abit difficult to find since all maps seem to suggest it is inside the RFH. It is however outside. Once you find it, it js a great place to dine. Would recommend it.
