The inspiration for the fuss-free French food and the stylish interior comes from the traditional bistros of Paris. The emphasis is on simply, reasonably priced dishes and the menu includes familiar Gallic favourites like moules marinières, steak frites with skinny frites, duck confit and the Côte dessert speciality, crème caramel. Côte is ideal for a quick business lunch, mid-week dinners with friends, and pre-theatre meals. We guarantee you’ll come back time after time.

    We all had steak frites which I have had many many times. We all noticed that the steak was much smaller than previously. One portion was very tough too. I think I’d prefer to pay a little more rather than you cut back on quality. Also the chocolate sauce for the Coup Noir was half the normal size - didn’t even coat half my ice cream. Obviously your costs have gone up but Clifton Cote is packed every night. Better to put prices up a bit rather than compromise on quality.

    A new and simple meal, the Tartiflette which was good as a filling and warming mini lunch. It was quieter than usual hence the fewer stars for ambience because we were earlier than usual 12.15, and it’s just after the Christmas period. But this is still my favourite restaurant.

    We went on my wife's birthday. First things first, the service is always fantastic at this restaurant. We go every year. I had a grilled sea bream and it was absolutely delicious. Really nice balance of flavours (although it didn't need the tapenade, nice as it was). We think that the mussels service was down on size on this last visit and the mussels were not their usual plumply-gorgeousness so I've given a 4* for food this time. Calamari starter is always my go-to and it didn't let me down. My daughter had a fillet steak and she said it was delicious Great visit, worth it for the service alone

    Although you confirmed to me a firm booking, I received a phone call from Cote saying that my booking was void. Their computer system was down , but I heard nothing from OpenTable. In fact when I tried to book another restaurant from OpenTable you refused as you said I already had a confirmed booking. A complete DISASTER !!

    The Bristol branch is by far the best Côte I’ve been to - the layout of the restaurant provides an intimate dining experience without being stuffy. The food was SO well cooked (as always). We’re big fans

    A beautiful ambient setting particularly for romantic meals or celebratory occasion. Staff were very polite and friendly yet not always too attentive. The food was tasty yet I did not believe the food was up to the quality I expected from the appearance of the restaurant. The praline crepe dessert was definitely a highlight. The food was above average though for a chain restaurant.

    I am a regular customer of Cote brasserie in London , I was visiting Bristol and decided to eat at Cote brasserie. The food was good as usual but it took a while for them to serve us the mains and the noise level was quite high. I understand that it’s Saturday night and the restaurant was busy but they should have a contingency plan when they are busy if they want to serve the food on time.
