Côte Cambridge in Cambridge

We had a lovely brunch. Good services as well. It was not too busy on a Saturday morning.

Lovely dining experience in spacious premises and with a warm atmosphere. The menu is varied and offers a modern twist on some classics.

Lovely experience with excellent service and fantastic food. A bijou feel at a good price!

The breakfast is brilliant. For £16 you can get a cooked breakfast, coffee or tea + juice. The food is ALWAYS good, the staff are always so friendly and polite. Although I ve not tried lunch/dinner so cannot comment on that. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free menu available (you do have to ask though).

Food was ok but the wait for our main courses was nearly an hour. Not worth the price. Would not come back again if this is the case.

Good food and they made my husbands birthday celebrations feel really special

Kirstie was really helpful

It was completely Horrible taste and service. I think it should be in garbage can not me.

Very friendly staff and nice food. Our first meal in Cambridge, was quite impressive.

Still did not get my food, 2 and half hours, after I placed the order. My server is a dark haired lady wearing a pair of classes, terrible attitude.

Overpriced. Expensive. 10% service charge added without asking for it even though its optional, so you have to ask for it to be removed. The cheapest beverage (besides free tap water) is £4.05 for 330ml coca cola

It took 1 hour and 30 minutes for our food to arrive. The portions are very very small. Never again! The waitress brought the wine but no glasses, did not served the wine.

Love the Breton fish stew

Food is average

Cote always gives good value for money. Service and food are always consistently great. Food comes out quickly and when you are ready to pay they bring the bill straightaway. The restaurant was nicely decorated for the Christmas season. Vegetarian options: There are two mains that are vegetarian, and a vegan burger. My husband had the mushroom cassoulet and he said it was good. It would be nice to have maybe one other vegetarian main.

Just lovely well worth a visit

Quite busy, but unusual for a lot of similar places, was well staffed with well trained and pleasant staff. Huzzah, will not hesitate to stop by again.

We have been to this restaurant twice : first time for desert&cafe, second time for food. The atmosphere is nice and cosy, the food overall is nice. Enjoyed the scallops, duck and salmon as well as the tarte tatin and creme brulee.. One catch was that we had to wait for an hour for our starters to arrive and another 40 minutes for the main course.. I believe the order had gotten lost somehow.. So this may be a one-off thing..

Waited 45 minutes for the main course

everything was just perfect

Great place to dine French food, good food, super friendly and helpful staff, cosy vibes and apparently very popular.

All perfect like always

A charming and spacious restaurant, with an interesting menu of mainly traditional French and european dishes. Cote stands out as a very reliable option with consistently good service and availability for walk-ins, plus it is in a superb location if you are out in Cambridge. Particularly enjoyed sitting at the bar before dining - try the negroni!

Very relaxed atmosphere and great food. Incredibly accommodating to small children.

Perfect place for a family birthday meal. Lovely friendly staff, great food and I was even offered a free glass of fizz as it was my birthday.

Nice atmosphere and food. They overcooked my steak but the manager was really nice and offered to replaced it for me.

Ten mention! Excellent.

Everything is very tasty, atmospheric beautiful cafe, but the service for a long time.

A cosy French chain with incredibly friendly staff and great food. We all loved the fougasse and the beef cheek bourgignon and the duck confit. Service was attentive especially the wonderful Javier who helped make good menu and wine recommendations. Lovely decor, relaxed and good spacing between tables. Good value and very fresh food. Will definitely come again.

What a delightful surprise. Delicious parisian cuisine in the UK. I loved the scallops , french onion soup and salmon . I definitely recommend anyone in the area to definitely stop by for a wonderful meal. Service was remarkable. The Owner was on site to ensure all guests were well taken care of . My waitress was very attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. Very nice find .

We recently had a big family lunch at Cote Cambridge, to celebrate our legal wedding. The food was excellent and the staff were fantastic - they kindly decorated our table and gave us some lovely (and unexpected!) gifts. The manager was also very responsive via email, about the booking. Thank you for being a part of our day!

Delicious french cuisine with a few great vegan options. I loved the vegan beef bourguignon!

Our booking (a wedding celebration) was made before the recent refurbishment. The restaurant reopened the day before we attended and it was great! We were really looked after, the food was delicious and the happy couple received a lovely gift from the staff

We visited Côte on our first night in Cambridge, the pork confit was so good we came back the second night. We also tried the ratatouille with goats cheese! Also amazing! Green beans and dauphinois potatoes a must. Definitely recommend and not too expensive considering the meal was excellent.

Booked for our anniversary the staff were really friendly and welcoming. They even gave us a complimentary drink.

Best French restaurant in town! Amazing service and absolutely love the atmosphere and food! Will definitely keep coming back with family and friends. Thank you

Our order took a very long time to arrive. The food was cold, the steak wasnt of good quality and some parts were chewy. And one of the waiters was rude. Wont come back. Food

Atmosphere spoiled by the manager who chastised the waitress, then faded the bar staff by suggesting that he heard rumours about him. He was probing for more information under the suggestion that his job might depend upon his answer. He ceased only when I stopped eating and glared at him. Very bizarre and unwelcome experience. The food was great, by the way.

First time at Côte. Clean and prices were reasonable. Server Kirstie was very helpful and kind. The meal was delicious.

We had an absolutely exceptional experience at Côte Cambridge, and a big part of that was thanks to our wonderful host, Joana. Her service was truly superb, making us feel warmly welcomed and looked after throughout our visits (yes, we came back of course!) Combined with the restaurant s lovely ambiance and quality of food, Côte Cambridge easily deserves a spot in anyone s top 3 dining spots in the area. Whether you re going for a casual meal or a special occasion, you won t be disappointed! Dont forget to ask for Joana!

Awesome!

Always good food here and enthusiastic staff make for a perfect venue. Shame about the birthday eclair as it was stale. Good offers and deals for Mon to Weds.

We and my fiancé dined here on Thursday night. We originally booked for 730 but arrived at 630 and they more than happy to accommodate us early! The atmosphere was lovely! A beautiful building and really nice staff! We were well taken care of. However, the food portions were very underwhelming! The pan fried salmon was 18 quid and was eaten in 3 bites. My fiancé had the ratatouille..its an interesting take on it but she wanted to give it a try. The sauce was very very bland...tasted like cheap passata. By the end of it...we were both still really hungry so we went to another place to get something more filling. A nice place but wont be back

Very nice french restaurant. Very well served and decorated food. Although quite pricey. But other than that nothing bad to say. For the service,quality and location thumbs up.

Great service.

We walked passed yesterday and my pregnant wife was struggling in the heat so I ran in to buy a bottle of water. I just wanted to say thank you to the lady who gave it free of charge as a kind gesture. Such a small thing but a great look for Cote. Youve recruited a new brand ambassador as Ive already told about 5 people of the kind gesture. I will defo be popping back in for a meal.

Great as always

It was ok, what youd expect from a chain restaurant. It was a hot day, they had air conditioning and we were hungry.....staff were great though not sure Id rush back there....

It is with the deepest of regrets that I feel compelled to commit these words to paper. Rarely have I found cause to offer such a blistering critique, for it is not my nature to speak ill of the efforts of others. Yet the profoundly unsatisfactory nature of my recent experience leaves me with little choice. While the culinary and libational offerings were passable, even adequate, the treatment of my personal effects was nothing short of egregious. The careless spilling of tomato juice upon my new traveling bag and charging cable was, I am certain, an unintended transgression. However, the subsequent handling of this mishap was woefully deficient. The application of dish soap in a crude attempt to scrub away the stain did little to remedy the situation, leaving behind persistent and unsightly blemishes. That the server failed to ensure the complete removal of the offending substance from the surrounding furnishings only compounded my distress, for I was left to contend with the risk of further soiling. I cannot help but wonder if the servers response would have been more considerate had the items in question been of a more premium provenance. Alas, though my recent acquisitions may not have borne illustrious brand names, they held deep personal significance. The gesture of waiving a modest dessert charge fell pitifully short of adequately compensating for the ruination of goods valued at over £100. As I labored to address the lingering odor and unsightly blemishes, the server passed me by on numerous occasions without offering further assistance. The protracted delay I endured upon checkout, with none deigning to attend to my needs, only served to compound my sense of frustration and disappointment. It is with a heavy heart that I now continue my travels bearing the indelible marks of this unpleasant experience. I can only implore that others take heed and exercise caution when bringing personal effects into this establishment, lest they suffer a similar fate. It is my fervent hope that the management will undertake a thorough review of their service protocols to ensure that no future patron is subjected to such an unfortunate encounter. **I sent email to them (2024.8.2) but no one reply.

Fantastic restaurant, really enjoyed brunch here, the staff were lovely and the food was great. We had the pork belly on brioche with fried egg and the full English breakfast, all of which was really well seasoned and full of flavour. The price for the breakfast with a glass of juice and a coffee is great. Dietary restrictions: Knowledgeable staff, detailed menu Parking: No parking on site but paid lots locally Wheelchair accessibility: Step free access

Had a great time at Côte, dinner to catch up with old friends. Service was friendly and attentive, but not overly intrusive. Food was delicious, only issue was a mushroom vegetarian dish order had been misheard as beef so one had to wait for their meal.

Excellent family dinner, delicious food, reasonable price for being Cambridge, very good service. Happy but a little noisy atmosphere

Toilets in a very poor state obviously never checked by staff. Service poor our main course arrived and the first hadnt been cleared. 2 waiters one holding the tray the other stood with nothing to do he muttered these should have been cleared he then stood there while we collected the plates and put them on the next table. They then went to get cutlery as our food cooled. Food fine but not memorable except for chicken liver parfait, excellent.

Good food and amazing service from Havier! Thank you for being so attentive. It made my day. My guests were happy too. Keep the good work Havier

We have eaten at many Cotes around the country I got the impression we were on half rations. The restaurant didnt have the convivial surroundings that our local Cotes in Cirencester has. The food was of the same standard though. The Service was good and as always Cotes is quick to cater for my wifes gluten free diet. Perhaps this Cambridge location is very busy.

Good food. Not cheap but not expensive. Been there a couple of times Food : 5/5

Really charmed by our experience here. Lovely friendly waitress, there was a 20 minute wait for our starters which was a bit trying but we didnt complain. In fairness it was a graduation day and they were super busy. When we came to pay they had deducted the entire cost of a 2 course meal from the bill because of the delay. We had really enjoyed the food when it came. A lovely place enhanced by charming staff plus nice views of Johns College.

Went here for lunch today for the first time after looking forward to it all week. Unfortunately, I left very disappointed. The restaurant wasn t at capacity, yet we were waiting for 40 minutes for our food. We were lucky because we were watching other tables who were waiting an hour for their food. The staff were friendly but inattentive and slow. Much of the time many of the female front of house staff were huddled together gossiping not paying attention to customers. The food was sadly average and the portions were small. I had an additional side and left hungry. As a positive they had a separate gluten free menu which I really appreciated. Probably wouldn t visit again if there were other options available.

The food was just ok, nothing special... portion size is rather small for the price. I visited with a few friends twice, and both times some of our orders got mixed up (poached eggs instead of scrambled, brown bread instead of white, etc. ) The staff were quite direct, repeatedly telling us we had to order ASAP or be done eating by certain time, even though they only needed the table back in 2 hours (which was plenty of time for us to eat, and we never planned to stay for the whole 2 hours anyway) We had multiple staff serving our tables, which would have been fine if theyd know what the other staff had done. We were asked the same questions multiple times by different people... whole experience just felt quite chaotic...

Everything was ok. The onion soup was sub par, the chicken was good. Service was friendly and professional.

Nice waiters and delicious salade Maison with frites.

Wonderful food!! We ordered small platters to share and was beautiful

Lovely place for breakfast. Great coffee.

Amazing dinner!! Very delicious steak and dessert.

Great place, Good service and tasty food.

Unpleasant waiter, argued when complaining about service rather than apologising and moving on

We had a lovely lunch with you today, food was great, service was also lovely despite your poor staff having to deal with an incredibly rude customer. I understand he had an issue with his meal but the way he treated the wait staff and manager was appalling! They were apologetic for the problem and had taken a good chunk of his meal off of the bill but he insisted on shouting at them. Your staff handled the situation professionally and made sure other patrons had a nice lunch so please pass on our thanks.

We arrived at 13:40, ordered at 13:50. The starters came at 14:07, however the main courses were ready at 15:08. The dessert did not still appear with asking for two times. It is totally unacceptable.

Love Cote Cambridge and recommend it as best breakfast destination in town! This visit I really appreciated that the manager checked in with us before we left to collect details about further perfecting his team s excellence. Thank you to Cote for bucking the trend we ve experienced post-Brexit in Cambridge towards poorer waiting service. Keep up your striving for perfection. We ll be back!

Brilliant night out. Great service, great food.

Alexandra was incredibly attentive and nice, made the whole experience very good! The steaks were amazing!

We love to go to Cote, Cambridge, and we try to often, as we have always over the past 10 years received wonderful service and food. Unfortunately, we don t like to complain or write negative reviews, but earlier this evening, we arrived at Cote for 6.30pm, only to find, once the maître d could not find us on his system, that I had inadvertently booked us a table for the wrong evening. However, he kindly found us a table and to our delight by the window, in fact a usual seat for us. So far so very good. Regrettably, the waitress service was not as good as we have come to expect at Cote. Our waitress was very nice, took our drink and food order and asked when we would like our for the table food brought out, prior to our starters, or with our starters. I said prior please. with a question mark, thinking that may be a problem and our waitress agreed that is what for the table usually means. Unfortunately after ordering our drinks and food, we had to wait sometime for the tap water and sat with no drink at all for sometime, I had to ask where it was. Then the Charcuterie Board arrived with the starters, I explained that we had asked that the Charcuterie board be separate from the starters and we were disappointed in the fact, that we guessed our starters would probably be put under a light to keep warm while we ate our charcuterie board, so we rushed this and then our starters were brought out in a timely manner, but after taking a bite of the calamari it was evident that it had been under something to keep warm as the batter was over done so crispie it was almost disintegrating as I put a fork in, at no point during the starter did the waitress ask how the meal was, otherwise I would have said something. Our main took at least 20 mins to come out following the starters and when our waitress put the food down she did not apologise or mention the delay. The food was as it always is - lovely. The waitress did come back during us eating our mains and did ask us how it he mains were, we agreed, lovely. We then ordered one decaf cappuccino and the Apple Tart Tatin to share. The coffee came but I had finished my coffee by the time desert came out approx. 15-20 mins later from ordering the coffee and dessert. The table next to us also complained to the waitress how long they were waiting between courses and were asked if they wanted a complimentary drink on the house. Those people also lasked us if we had to wait, and we said yes, and that this was unusual but we both agreed that the waitress should have given us a heads up and a rough delay time, which unfortunately she did not. The whole meal took over 2 hours for just two of us,, normally we would be out within an hour and quarter. It was just unfortunate we were left wondering throughout our meal when the next course was coming. A shame really, as it did dampen the evening for us.

The server was absolutely outstanding- he made our experience so wonderful. Sadly didn t get his name! Kid-friendliness: Kids menus was really good

What delightful food and great gluten free menu with amazing offering for my ma. Krishna took very good care of us, as if he had known us and cared for us in a previous life, a true man of the people, and a kind, humble, and gentle soul. I love you Krishna. Jericho Food : 5/5

Nice food, Great service nice atmosphere

I really like cote, I have only ever been for breakfast but on every occasion the food has been outstanding, the waiters are brilliant and the atmosphere is relaxing. I would recommend.

Food was very good, offering a la carte or set 2 or 3 course menus. Prompt friendly service. Really felt like you were in france for a while.

My wife and I sent in here to have a champagne breakfast. Not only did it take 45 minutes to come out, but it was cold. So we left here, extremely disappointed and hungry, as we left without eating or paying

Food was nice but very small portions especially main course. Desert was lovely but didnt quite make up for overall visit.

Always loved going to Côte, our table was reserved for Fathers day celebrations. And we were all looking forward to it. The order took a while to be taken and when we had our waiter approaching us, understandably busy, he insisted on taking drinks order first. Turns out that we couldnt order from brunch menu as we were too late. Reservation was for 1:45pm, order was taken after 2pm... Were WE late? We sat on time. Foodwise we had few starters that were absolutely delicious, but calamari were very disappointing to the point that we shared between us just to check how bad was it. Then we waited. A long time. My nephew cried as he was hungry. Embarrassing scene, however we checked time and we sat for 2 hours before any food arrived. With the main salmon portions were tini tiny and definitely not worthed the asked price. Burgers were so yum. These were for sure stars of the lunch. My daughter did not received her pasta. Even though we ordered it with the rest and neither of our waiters had mentioned that it had finished (2 hours in) for her only to find out when everyone else got their food apart from her. Staff was very apologetic and the manager had taken the matter in his hands and served her a portion of frites with mashed potatoes. Just wanted to mention that we had paid for the kids set menu, even though she received 2 side orders... what a joke... I feel as though we were taken advantage of as we were a big group and even though we were looked after by very lovely staff it was clear that we were not compensated by that of staffs mistakes.

Great food! Dorian is the best waiter ever he made my day

The whole experience was fantastic. The staff could not have been more attentive, the food was hot and tasty and the service was fantastic. The food was served at a relaxed pace. Overall a great eating experience.

Lovely place. Always like Côte and this is a very nice venue. Staff very nice. Efficient service and great food!

Our waitress Joana did a fantastic job as always! Shes very attentive and always makes us feel very welcome and happy to see us. Shes quick to respond and notices the details. This is one of our favourite restaurants great food, people and atmosphere

I booked a table for 1:45. They were extremely busy, and there was a delay in getting our table. We then waited 20 minutes and had to interrupt a waitress to order some drinks. Food arrived promptly and was really good, but we were then ignored again for the rest of the afternoon and kept having to interrupt the passing staff to ask for drinks, and the dessert menu, etc. Even though the restaurant was quiet by this time. We felt pretty invisible. Real shame about the lack of service as the food was excellent.

I would like to say that the food and atmosphere were very pleasant. Antonio was the person who looked after my table, whom I thank for the great service. See you soon

Went for breakfast, wasnt too busy and ordered food straight away. Think they forgot about us as our food arrived just as we was about to ask where it was. However it came with food for a table next to us who arrived at least 20 mins after we had ordered. We cant fault the food, and the staff where pleasant..just took a long time to arrive.

Amazing in all regards! Fantastic! The dish I recommend : steak frite + calamari. Food : 5/5

Simply amazing

I had the loveliest birthday thanks to Gabrielle and the team, the food and atmosphere were amazing, thank you!

I had an absolutely lovely experience ag Cote Cambridge, the foods and services were great, Javier was very attentive and made us feel very welcomed! Thank you very much and will come back!

yes yes baguette no choice of steak cooking, womp womp Parking: very spacious, ideal for bus trips Kid-friendliness: in the cellar Wheelchair accessibility: its cool my hen

I was with children. Both they and I really liked it. Tasty, not very expensive, but the costs, as always, depend on you.

Great staff helpful and definitely went the extra mile , food was lovely

The food portions were embarrassingly small... especially the tiny pot of chips that came with my steak! Food was tasty enough. Staff were very friendly. Seating and space was good. Simply put add more chips dont be tight! On a £15.95 steak frites meal plus £2.95 for pepper or similar sauce.

They didnt have half the things I wanted to order on the breakfast menu, so I settled on what they had Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs available and kids menu

What a lovely spot! I absolutely loved their French breakfast, it was tasty & just enough! Will definitely come back.

Celebrating 3 birthdays for lunch. We were greeted with a smile and a bottle of fizz on the house which was a lovely suprise. Service/food and atmosphere great, recommend! Dietary restrictions: We had stated in booking that we needed GF option and this menu was given when we sat down.

The food was tasty but portions were very small. £17 for a tiny fish pie with 3 pieces of fish and 3 Prawns was definitely a bit of a rip off, some sides of veg to accompany wouldnt go a miss either! I was still hungry afterwards. The staff and atmosphere was pleasant, just would be good to have some sides included on some meals to make it better value and actually filling

Always a great experience. Food is delicious, professional service .

The food is mediocre compared to what I was expecting. Pricy for what you get. But the staff was great and attentive.

I loved the food! Everything I ate was well cooked and delicious and I was spoilt for choice with the menu. The service was attentive and friendly. The only negative was that we were sat on a table which felt like it had been plonked in the walkway, this took away from ambience as the vibe felt very busy with the thoroughfare from the kitchen, however if we had been sat somewhere else this wouldn t have been the case as the overall atmosphere of the restaurant was intimate and cosy. Would definitely recommend a visit.

A lovely afternoon. Food superb and everything as it should be!

Regardless of the place being busy, we were accommodated by the handsome and beautiful staff of this restaurant. Our food arrived on time even if it was packed with other customers. Im glad I came across this restaurant to celebrate my husbands birthday. I didnt go wrong on choosing this.

Although the service could have been faster, the food was really delicious, plus good value for money. My friend had mentioned my birthday when booking and it was an unexpectedly lovely touch to find a birthday message with my dessert.

Fairly loud, but had fantastic food and an extremely accommodating group of staff looking after us. Musalina especially was very welcoming and chatty, had a lovely time, would definitely go back again

During my recent visit to Cote, I was thoroughly impressed by not only the exquisite cuisine but also the outstanding service, particularly from our waitress, Musalina. From the moment we were seated, Musalina made us feel genuinely welcomed and attended to our every need with a warmth and efficiency that greatly enhanced our dining experience. Her recommendations from the menu were spot-on, reflecting a deep understanding of the dishes and a keen intuition about our tastes. Musalina s professionalism, coupled with her personable and engaging manner, turned what was meant to be a simple meal into an unforgettable experience. It s clear that she takes great pride in her work and in ensuring that guests leave with a smile. My heartfelt thanks to Musalina and the entire Cote team for a truly remarkable evening. I eagerly look forward to my next visit!

We were a large group (14) celebrating my fathers 70th birthday. The staff were very helpful and attentive, catering to our needs, allergies and our youngest family members needs by bringing out her food early and providing colouring activities. We were also provided with a bottle of fizz and a birthday dessert for my father, both lovely touches that made it feel special. The food was delicious, everyone agreed. Thank you to everyone involved, we had a fabulous time and will be back again soon.

I had the Tuna steak with salad and it was the most horrible dish I ever had. And no, I am not exaggerating. The lettuce was dry and old, one cherry tomato, one baby potato boiled and sliced, the tuna steak overcooked with a very very bitter sauce on top, while the overall dressing didnt exist. My partner had the steak which as well came overcooked and the overall presentation lacked, but at least it was more edible. Never to return and would not recommed.

Very good food, very nice staff! Definitely a very good place to eat!

Bit of a shambles on organisation, food is ok but not value for money, had a party organised for weeks but hours of waiting and just a mish mash of who got what and when just led to an uneasy feeling, probably ok just to go in groups of 2/4 people not partys.

Lovely service by Musalina - Wine and cheese very good, from a French point of view :)

One of the best in Cambridge, try the steak frites they re amazing! Musalina s service was also great today, definitely will come back!

A wonderful French Restaurant in the beating of Cambridge, windows that allow you to be a part of the atmosphere while enjoying your lovely meal, friendly staff, reasonably priced, what more can you ask for.

All those who personally attended to us at our table were lovely and very accommodating when we asked for a particular table for four in the sunny window corner. Unfortunately there was a long wait for food and then one of us found what appeared to be a beard hair on the cheese on top of the burger. The waiting staff could see it clearly and were obviously apologetic and did not charge for that meal. They then brought a fresh meal. That experience with the hair / beard hair(?) however has put us off from ever going there again. I do want to emphasize that the lady greeting us and taking us to our table yesterday afternoon, was extremely professional and caring and the male waiters also. The kitchen probably needs a new head chef however. Dietary restrictions: Accommodating

Go quite regularly as good food, staff and surroundings. Can get quite busy at times but this just adds to the vibe. Been going for many years so something must be right! Food

Always reliable at Cote everywhere in Enhlabd.

Gabi was an absolute rockstar, served us with professional attitude and finesse. Made our lunch extremely special. 10/10

Very yummy food and great service. Be wary though as the menu is quite pricey.

If youre in Cambridge and want a light French lunch or dinner, I highly recommend it. It was delicious. It might be best to make a reservation for Saturday dinner.

Either the staff are poorly trained or the system they work to is flawed. Waited 15 minutes for drinks to be served (one glass of red and tap water). While waiting I watched two of the waiting staff chatting as if they had nothing to do. Later our waitress took our empty water bottle but didnt replace it until I asked. A shame because Ive eaten at Cotê Norwich, Cirencester, Barbican London and not had that experience. And why no fixed price menu at weekends? Wed have spent more!

Buzzy, nice atmosphere, excellent service. Pork belly was delicious.

Always great food

The beef Bourguignon is seriously top-notch, and theyve got an awesome lineup of wine and cocktails. Plus, those free welcome drinks? Such a cool surprise!

Amazing birthday dinner. Food was perfect, i loved the drinks and dessert. Radek gave the best service!! Food

Beautiful restaurant with an thoroughly enjoyable ambiance and even better food, absolutely would recommend. Radek was our server and was both incredibly polite and helpful with any questions we had regarding the menu.

A traditional French restaurant situated in the heart of Cambridge. The culinary experience was exceptional, and the pricing is reasonable. The seabass is a highly recommended dish. The service provided was satisfactory. I intend to revisit this establishment in the future.

The waitress are very kind and friendly. Highly recomended!!

Bad experience the food is not fresh. Baked Camembert is basic. I ve had far better ones in terms of cheese and added flavors (such as pear and walnut etc). The honey tomato is lovely, tangy and not too sweet, but still basic. Also it will be better to present the cheese in a ceramic baking dish, otherwise it cools down very quickly. And then downhill from basic to bad. The wait for the main course is sooooooo loooooong. Maybe I should go help in the kitchen. The staff don t know what to do (standing near the till together observing us but avoiding eye contact) and the managers don t care. ( Have you spoken to them? I told them 2 more minutes. No I asked first and it didn t come until after five more minutes. No you don t refer to your customers as them in front of them. and this is the managers face not us.) The chicken gratin is not creamy or baked at all, more like a grilled chicken leg thrown into some random sauce. My friend says the chicken tastes off like some animal other than chicken , and it looks very dry. My sea bream is slightly better. At least the plating is more presentable and the skin is properly charred, but it s not fresh either. Dry and streaky and lumpy, the cream sauce can t save it. I m almost certain the fish was frozen, badly frozen. The onion was raw. The baby potatoes weren t cooked through. (*Imagine Gordon Ramsay shouting at you.) Whilst waiting, I was joking if they were still catching the chicken or fish. Now I guess the kitchen was desperately drying to thaw the ingredients in one hour. Ground floor was two third empty though looked cozy. First floor and restroom is ice cold. That also tells the run-down state of things Pity I used to trust the chain restaurant for some simple French inspired food. I won t come again here or in London.

We went there to have dinner, the waitresses are so nice and kind, they brought us the dessert with a birthday candle, it was amazing. The food is so good, we had a great dinner. Thank you so much!!

Found the lamb to be very underdone, love to see a bit of pink in the meat but it was surrounded by blood. Completely put me off. The restaurant looks like it s fallen into disrepair, stylish enough but definitely in need of refurbishment. Not very warm either, midway through our stay my partner had to put her jacket back on to be comfortable. Service was really lacking, servers were polite enough but far from attentive, nobody came back to check on us- a shame because I would ve loved to have the lamb redone but by the time they came to clear plates my appetite was already gone. Service charge automatically added to the bill but there was a strong lack of. Ended up eating fast food for dinner which is quite disappointing considering I paid for an entire meal which just wasn t edible.

I really enjoyed my breakfast. The service was good and people working there are so respectful and cheerful and the food was good.

Nice stylish venue in a good central location.

Always love Cote food and service. The wine is delicious and the waiter let us sample the various types of merlot before we purchased the bottle. Was beautiful. Will always recommend Cote.

Once sorted, my food was excellent as always. I did have a few issues initially though (steak was quite overcooked) but fortunately there was a fantastic waitress called Michaela who sorted it all out and I was even given a complementary drink as an apology so will definitely be returning once again!

Great Côte in Cambridge! Service was excellent... particularly Gabi; thank you! Parking: Park St Car Park closed for rebuilding... so closest is Castle Mound Car Park (by County Hall), which is 10 mins walk away.

Best belly pork ever. With Savoy cabbage and pommes de terre Dauphinoises. Merveilleux. Le Colonel to finish it off. Formidable! Parking: No parking. Shire Hall on Castle Hill is the nearest. Or Madingly Road P & R if before 20h10 last bus out of town.

This place is consistently great in spite of it being a chain. I really try to support independent businesses but it s hard to find an independent restaurant in Cambridge! The service here is always excellent and there s plenty of seating - you can easily get a table without booking.

Great restaurant, clean and cosy. Wonderful food and the service was

The food was amazing and the service was perfect. The Cote de boeuf and the sides were lovely.

Came in for a treat dinner whilst in Cambridge for the weekend. We d heard of Cote as a brand, but neither of us had ever visited one before. We booked ahead, and were seated in a lovely corner booth at the side of the busy restaurant. Unfortunately, our waiter was far from attentive and professional, and we felt extremely judged for some of the questions we had about menu items and wine, to the point where he was almost sniggering at us. Once we d received the food, it absolutely couldn t be faulted, and we loved everything. The beef bourguignon was out of this world - the beef was soft and tender, the sauce was rich and I had a mountain of mashed potatoes to go with it. Overall, the food saved the experience and I d visit a Cote again purely for this, but not THIS Cote just due to the service. Parking: No local nearby parking. Would recommend getting a taxi in or using a local bus service. There s parking in the town but it s costly and a bit of a walk.

Always good value. Tasty food. Pleasant staff. Decor is tired and the restaurant needs an upgrade.

Really bad service and average food. Location is good - city center. All the rest better avoid. Very long waiting for food, rude staff

The Moules Frites was delicious, the sauce was so yummy everyone on the table wanted to dip their chips in. Brilliant selection of non alcoholic cocktails for the designated drivers, I would recommend the cassis spritz

Lovely meal and an amazing waiter, Javier. Thanks Javier! Youre great!

Great food and staff, well priced, and a good voucher to use if you return as a customer again

Came for my friends birthday for a sunday brunch ! Excellent service and this place never lets us down , Dietary restrictions: My friend has allergies and they made sure she was well looked after

Met with a friend from London who chose this venue for 12.30 lunch. Two menus were offered, one for lunchtime 2 or 3 courses the other the day menu. Staff service was excellent and polite, with attention to detail. Ordered the lunchtime 3 course menu. Beautifully presented and each course was delicious. The atmosphere was good. Tables set out in an eloquent manner and there was not too much noise very convivial for good conversation. All in all a good restaurant to impress a friend with and not break the bank!

Excellent customer service : fast, efficient and very gentle. Food and drinks comes also fast ! I recommend ;) Food : 4/5

Fantastic food

40 minute wait for brunch. Wouldnt mind but my poached eggs could pass for hard boiled. Guacamole tasteless. Terrible waste of money.

Food was delicious, service was great. We had the Sunday menu which was DIVINE. Wish they d do that menu everyday! Restaurant is very large with plenty of tables. The toilets are a bit grubby, think they re old and could do with a deep clean. We love Cote and this one didn t disappoint! Dietary restrictions: Very good catering for Gluten and Dairy free!

Sad state of affairs.... What has happened to my fave restaurant been eating at for over a decade! I just had a hunch sitting there I bet they been sold out... yep sold out to the parasite hedge fund globalists... who suck the life out of businesses. Ok new menu since last visit 25% increase on all items. No heating in restaurant as others have mentioned so they have £10 mini heaters on floor with ghastly hazard tape all over the wooden flooring covering the cables, orders from above... no heating you hear it takes pounds from our share holders profit...Achtung! Toilet is a disgrace rotten skirting board hanging off the wall... broken toilet flush....holes in walls....cheapest nasty toilet paper in a broken holder on sink....filth everywhere....achtung no cleaners or repairs you hear...our share holders will be angry! The ambience is gone destroyed by greed, even the uniform!...tall Indian waiter serving in black jogging bottoms half way up his legs far to small.... not the look of cotes I remember. Cheap meat... used be praised for there high quality at an affordable price... now average chewy steak....remember our share holders?... you must buy cheap meat I tell you! Really really sad..we wont be back.

Lovely restaurant that does French cuisine with brasserie style. Very nice drinks and good selections, I was very happy with the choice of aperitif cocktails and red wine. Onion soup was fantastic, nice amount of cheese and good flavour which goes well with croutons. Steak tartare was okay, but could be more fresh or some other flavour that would cover it up. Really nice fish stew as well, got some kick more than I thought so was sweating a bit but the seafoods were all very fresh, got nice portions of squid, prawns and mussels only wish the fish was bit bigger. Truly impressed about the dessert and typically liked the selection of small dessert pieces. Chocolate fondant was my favourite and the coffee was fantastic, really nicely roasted that was giving off lovely scent. Generally the service was good, the tables were bit small. Would be happy to come back to try out other menus.

Javier was was a great host/waiter!!! He made my wife and I experience a memorable one!!!

I really enjoyed this restaurant. Food was flavorful. Ambiance was elegant but not too overwhelming. The staff were very friendly. The only issue I had was pronouncing some of the food. . Will come back if I make my way to Cambridge again. Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu!

Food was classic cote good quality. Unfortunately thats the end of the positive... The service was poor, with significant prompting required at times, the toilets were awful, no toilet roll, paper towels everywhere, and we were early in the evening. Not a good experience

Excellent food friendly staff love it

It was a great meal and we had a great chat over the meal. The service was excellent I cant recommend the restaurant enough Dietary restrictions: Gluten intolerance

Great evening, super service and lovely food

Very tasty main courses but kids menu is awful.

I ordered the Tuna and it came almost raw (it was supposed to be medium) I asked for them to grill it more and it came exactly like it was before. I dont recommend.

We had a voucher from my grandmother which was lovely, and the birthday wishes that came with dessert (on the house) was a lovely touch. Very happy with our evening!

I loved the confit of duck

Yummy.

Beautiful restaurant, good service. Food was fine, but took about 90 minutes to be served. It was a Saturday night in Cambridge, so perhaps that was to be expected.

Went here after a full day of meetings. The starters, breads, wines, and pork belly as the main were all very good. For dessert, I opted for the sampler with an espresso, which was the most delicious option.

The steak is over cooked and it s bitter already

Hosted a Xmas Party for 20 of us at Côte last night. This is just a brief review to thank the team at Cote Cambridge who were absolutely superb from start to finish. Our waitress, Joanna, looked after us brilliantly, she kept the (lots of!) drinks flowing and was a fabulous ambassador for Cote all evening long. The food was, for an Xmas Party, superb. Personally I had Salmon, Steak and then cheese, and it was all delivered to Cote s normal high standards. Getting 15 or so steaks out hot, cooked perfectly, properly dressed and enjoyed by all is a real achievement on a really busy evening for the restaurant, so very well done to all. I ve been a long time fan of Cote Cambridge but this was the first time I d used the restaurant for a business group like this and it was a real success. Overall excellent value for money and everyone agreed we d had a superb evening.

Had a lovely lunch here, everything was perfect

Nice food and good service. The restaurant was rather quiet on a Sunday evening but its a great location, close to the river in Cambridge.
