It is a beautiful French restaurant with a lovely and rich menu. Relaxing environment.

First time visiting this Cote and it will most likely be my last. We were greeted by a French waiter who promptly sat us down at a table and took our order very quickly but unfortunately it went downhill from there. I ordered the Fillet Noir and my partner ordered a fish stew. We decided to get truffle chips and creamed spinach as sides but it took over 45 minutes for our food to arrive! Annoyingly, the kitchen staff managed to mess up my dish despite waiting so long! The waiters had 0 clue that my dish contained potato gratin and also tried to overcharge me for this as a side when it was included within the dish as per the menu... When my dish was corrected , I found the fillet steak to taste more like rump and not very tender but the sauce and vegetables were nice. I appreciate the waitress took off my dish from the bill and gave a slight discount but the service before our food arrived was non-existent. We had multiple different waitresses and didn't feel like anyone was responsible. Staff were very slow. Don't come here if you're in a rush! The slow service seems to be a habit of this branch and also food was OK - not mind blowing or exceptional for a chain restaurant. Giggling squid was next door and a million times better.

The food was very nice. Waitress was rather rude & really did not want to be there.However, they swapped the waitress, and the 2nd waitress was very polite and knew what she was doing. We had a lovely evening.

Visited here, with my wife and youngest God- daughter at Cote Chislehurst for the very first time on Sunday 31/ 7/22, at 1300pm reservation. We stayed for at least 2 hours 30mins. I always believe on the principle in given a 'first time try look in, and to experience as you find' basis when visiting a restaurant - particularly for the first time. Well, my first impressions were encouraged to see an almost packed restaurant on arrival. Good parking in bays just outside the restaurant off the High Street. Also served by bus routes close by..Nos. 61,160,161,162, 273, R7, N136. I was surprised of the very spacious dining area layout inside, very clean, hygenic, airy, modern with soft lighting and decor to suit. Very comfortable seating arrangements, soft relaxing music played in the background. The atmosphere during our time seemed cheerful, a few birthday celebrations were assisted by the staff. The staff and manager I found very kind and helpful, and with good service provided by all staff. Maybe just only a tad slow in speed, but however understandable due to the very busy custom present. But, they were very polite and I enjoyed my short conversations with them...and staff occasionally consulted us and made sure if everything was to our satisfaction. The food PAR EXCELLENCE! True in French 🇫🇷 tradition.....( I recommend the Monkfish) and a reminder when my wife and I enjoyed our 25th Siver Wedding Anniversary in Paris some years back (we are now 42 years ongoing!). In fact, the restaurant brought some memories of this moment on reflection; the surroundings a reminder with some Parisian restaurants we visited. Yes, everything deserves a first chance of opportunity......I for one personally impressed. We will return of course...the standard 👏 , especially the 'CUISINE' its hallmark here, I would say....a rating A1 10/10. Thanks to the owner and staff for hosting us ...keep up the good standards and do further advance progressively. Chris.👍 Revisted with my wife on Tuesday afternoon.2/8/22. Quite and relaxing atmosphere- and a table straight away ready..unbooked! Another excellent meal and service enjoyed at the Cote French restaurant 🇫🇷, Chislehurst, Kent. Thanks Isabella (waitress ) for looking after us! Enjoyed our very brief chat on 🇵🇱 Poland...We will see you all again sometime in the future. Chris.👍

Lovely location. Food is good value and service excellent. Recommended. Update- Disappointed on this occasion. We came for lunch. Long wait for the main courses. The steaks were extremely salty, and was not informed which was medium and medium rare. Service was mediocre as staff seemed busy arguing or paying attention only to 1 or 2 tables.

The waiter service was non attentive and came over uninterested. The amount of bread provided with the cheeseboard was pathetic. We order some additional bread to try to enjoy the remaining cheese and only 5 tiny slices arrived.

The food is fantastic as always. We were there at lunchtime today and really enjoyed our meals. Did was prepared at a reasonable pace. The tables for two are four are placed pretty close to each other so some may find that it does lack a bit of privacy. The only criticism is there were tables available in other parts of the restaurant where it less busy. So, we could have had more privacy if they did give us another table on the other side. There is paid parking available on the High Street. You can pay using the Ringo app. That's pretty useful if you need to extend your parking session (if you decide to stay for dessert, which we did. 😀)

Went for a family birthday meal. Food was delicious, even if the half lobster was very small (all wished we'd ordered the whole). Service was OK, pleasant and friendly staff.

Went to cote, (there were 5 of us). We ordered starters and mains. The starters were lovely and came out quickly. Then we had to wait over an hour for mains. When I spoke to the waiter he checked with the kitchen and said they had forgotten about us and they were cooking the food right away. After the mains came out, one of the guest meals was freezing cold, as though it had just come out of the fridge. We then sent it back as even the waiter felt it and said it was cold on the inside. When it eventually came back out it was piping hot, but none of what took place should have happened in the first place. The restaurant wasn't even busy. It was 5pm on a Sunday night. Then to top it off they charged me £120 for the whole meal. It's ridiculous what exactly did I pay for. We will never be eating at a cote restaurant again.

Great, efficient service, friendly staff, tasty food. Would recommend 👌

Had a great meal overall here. Food was tasty, service was really friendly, took extra care with dietary requirements. Atmosphere a bit lacking but it was a Sunday Evening. Wine well priced and well chilled

As a fussy eater, I will say that this restaurant has sincerely impressed me. Our waiter Zoryana was very kind and caring. Whilst the food is nourishing and tasty, fit for a meal made to fulfil you with taste. I would like to recommend this restaurant to everyone reading this.

Food was very good and our waiter Miguel was fantastic. He was very kind and thoughtful. He made the brunch experience at Cote great/fantastic and made us feel like coming back here at Cote for the following weekends. 10 stars for him. Thanks.

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.

Food ok but every surface needed a really good polish especially the mirrors. The service wasn’t that great although the staff were pleasant. I had go to the bar a number of times to get their attention and an additional bowl of olives (which never came). The place isn’t extortionate but I expected more for my money to be honest.

Great food, friendly helpful service.and a nice atmosphere.

Cote is dependable and reasonably priced and this branch meets the brand standard. Service here was very good and the food as expected. Not something to rave about, but a good option when you fancy a night off from the cooking duty. The Steak Soiree meal option was a great way to lure a wine head like me to visit on a Wednesday, LOL.

Went for lunch with my partner to celebrate her birthday. First time here, and everything was excellent. Delicious food with great service and very nice staff. Never felt rushed and absolutely will be going back soon. Thanks to everyone who works there!

Pleasant comfortable, relaxed environment for a dignified breakfast catch-up with a friend. Nice quality food but a little stingy on the portions on the plate. If you wanted a fuller plate there are a number of clean looking Cafes only metres away that would load up your plate more fully. The staff are unhurried and pleasant and give you plenty of time if you are working on your laptop.

As a party of four adults and one child, we celebrated a birthday at Cote Chislehurst on Saturday (lunchtime) 22/10/2022 Having dined at this Restaurant on a previous occasion, I knew we were in for a treat. It starts with the welcoming greeting upon entry. Staff being courteous with a smile is always a big plus in the hospitality sector. My Grand Daughter, who is six years old reacted really well to the humorous gestures made by the (senior) waiter on duty. After being seated, our waitress Holly introduced herself. An absolute delightful young lady, she covered areas of the menu and the children's option too. Drawing paper and crayons were supplied to my Grand Daughter. Clearly enjoying her role, Holly is a real asset to this team. The various options of food and drinks we all chose from the menu were enjoyed and represent excellent value for this dining experience. There appeared to be no sense of urgency to vacate our table and whist saying thank you and good bye, the (senior) waiter once again had some humorous interaction with our Grand daughter. She was a really happy little girl. Another great experience at Cote Chislehurst. Well done team!!

We enjoyed a lovely meal here although the service was a bit slow. Delicious mushroom vol au vent and tasty fish stew.

Delicious breakfast at Cote today, cappuccino with oat milk and French toast. Friendly staff as always. Please 🙏 sort out your wifi !

When the waitress came to clear the table she wasn't watching what she was doing, she pushed over a bottle of water and a glass of beer with a plate as she leant across me to get to get something from the other side of the table This is a matter of training she should not have been leaning across me. The water and beer went all over my friends clothes her arm and leg were soaked and smelt of beer. The manager wasn't bothered gave us a replacement beer. The food wasn't as good as other Cote brasserie we have visited, the manager is complacent about customer service I didn't see one member of staff smile in the 2 hours I was there except forced smiles when they sang happy birthday to someone. My friend didn't want a fuss but we didn't pay the service charge, the waitress told this to the manger who just shrugged. Do not go to the restaurant if your like good food and. Good service. The manager spent most of his time talking to his prettiest member of staff and ignoring his customers. It was my birthday treat so we all left pissed off.
