Wonderful modern place with inventive French cuisine. Everything we ordered was excellent, and we're particularly surprised by the beetroot tartare - an exceptionally fresh and delicate dish. Impressed! Service was attentive, helpful and friendly. Truly unexpected gem in the center of the city.

Friendly stuff and nice environment. I ordered 3 courses Christmas meal from here. The first dish was parsnip soup which was thick but not that creamy, but the highlight was the sprinkling of chopped chestnuts and shredded apples, which added a lot of flavor to the soup The second dish is the Turkey paupiette, which is actually bacon wrapped Turkey, Turkey wrapped in pork, with a layer of sweet root vegetables underneath, come with cranberry sauce (delicious on the meat), roasted bean stalks, broccoli, turnips and potato slices. The vegetable ingredients are similar to those of sunday roast The third course is cream brûlée, featuring the top of (seems to be) currants (extremely sour, not recommended) and orange, which is surprisingly good with the brûlée

Absolutely fabulous place, can not fault it. Me and my partner went here and were seated straight away no problem. Service was impeccable from the moment of walking in to the moment of leaving. Great pricing too, got two courses for £14.95 each. Great with allergens, one of us has a gluten intolerance and the other a peanut allergy, but they made sure we knew everything and even showed us a full allergen guide. Will definitely be returning within the next month.

Was a nice place staff where very help full when it cam to picking a drink and pairing it they where also new about the food and drink so was good service was good the food was really nice the place does look nice and they do have offers on witch is nice really enjoyed the duck

Delicious food and great atmosphere. Seems like a reliable place. Edit Nov '23: we arrived for breakfast at 9:30 am when the place was almost empty and got seated. Many tables came, ate and left and we were still without breakfast. It took more than 60 minutes to get served. I understand that it's a busy time of year, but we felt that we had priority over the newly arrived tables that got served ahead of us. But was it worth the wait? Not so much. My original impression of this restaurant was great. This second impression has put a damper in my opinion

Lovely atmosphere and tasty food. Went here for lunch during restaurant week and me and my youngest daughter had the three course lunch for £15. Really I should have had the two courses and I was stuffed at the end. My daughter kept commenting on how fancy the place looked. Would definitely return

I usually love this restaurant but this was a really bad experience, the service was terrible. 2 and a half hours at our table for 2 courses & 2 drinks and we both just wanted to leave so bad, we were waiting forever for everything it took half an hour to even get our first drink! and I had to ask where my desert was as it had been half an hour and then she added the dessert on our bill twice so then had to wait some more for that to be sorted… like it really wasn’t worth the money and I wish we had went somewhere else. I work in hospitality myself and I know how difficult it can be but to not apologise and not offer us anything for your mistakes and the long wait when we clearly weren't happy or satisfied is just really poor service.

Henry gave us a very warm welcome and a lovely table and produced gluten free menus without being reminded. The food and service were faultless

Absolutely marvellous breakfast experience! Beautiful interior and great service, the scrambled eggs were divine, the French black pudding was a positive surprise and the pastries were fresh and baked to perfection. The only issue was that the temperature of the food could be higher when it was brought to us - it cooled down fairly quickly. Other than that I loved it and can't wait to be back!

My First time visit COTE in NCL It was delicious crème brûlée it was a such a nice treat! Perfect high quality and the taste and texture reflects that. These are super smooth and creamy without being too heavy or over the top sweet.

Very appealing menu choice. Great location, lovely decor and atmosphere. Cheese soufflé, Fish pie and garlic roasted vegetables were delicious.

We decided to have breakfast this morning and although the restaurant was quite full, there were still some tables available. The atmosphere was excellent, the place was warm and nice. We ordered two cappuccinos, which were nice. I ordered avocado and poached eggs and my husband the vegan breakfast. We waited over 30 minutes for the two breakfasts to arrive, by which time our coffees were cold. My poached eggs were slightly overcooked, and both breakfasts were tepid except the mushrooms, which were nice and warm.

Great central location. Food is delicious!!!!! Good selection of wine and very attentive staff. Would definitely recommend for lovely lunch or special dinner. 5*

The full english breakfast was disappointing. Although it tasted good, for £10.75 we got only one sausage, no beans, a very small amount of egg and FOUR slices of bread. We were glad to get a table without booking, but service was very slow. A 10% service charge was put on the bill even though it was just breakfast for two people, i hope i’m not being rude or anything but i don’t think this was very fair.

Was my first time here but won't be my last! Food was lovely - we ordered from the set menu - prices are good, staff were very attentive and the atmosphere was fab! We were a party of 10 and they could not have been any more attentive! Nothing was a problem! I will be back!

The service was great from the minute we walked through the door (unfortunately I didn't catch the name of our server). We had our drinks within minutes of sitting down and the food was not long in following. I had the gluten free full English breakfast and my sister had the regular full English, both were excellent. Would highly recommend a visit.

A fantastic first visit for my partner and me. We were a bit skeptical initially but we were proven wrong every step of the way. The staff were warm and welcoming. The food was exceptional and in generous proportions. Will definitely be coming back very soon. Cotê was the highlight of our day.

Walked in on Friday night and got a table despite being busy. Service was great and quick. Food was excellent, fish stew was outstanding. Crème caramel was lovely. GF menu was the reason we went, food is always excellent.

Delicious breakfast on a Monday morning. Service was friendly and efficient. My croque madame was delicious and my partner enjoyed her veggie breakfast. Only issue was that the waiter sat us right in front of the main entrance... Plenty of other tables so was a little unthoughtful. Asked to move tables straight away.

No reservation but the staff quickly found us a table. Affordable and smart brasserie serving brunch until 2pm. The eggs florentine were superb - sautéed rather than soaked spinach served with a sharp hollandaise sauce. Delicious.

Amazing pre-theatre meal. Food is always fantastic here, also wine menu is brilliant, check out the white Bergundy and the Sancerre. Also has the best creme brulee ever, so good I didn't manage to get a photo before it was gone.

What a wonderful experience. The place is elegant and spacious. The staff are attentive and friendly. It’s usually busy so you need to make a reservation. I had a mushroom soup, ribeye stake and creme caramel. The mushroom soup was very delicious and the creme caramel was exquisite. The rip-eye was average. Definitely coming back to try the creme brûlée.

Called in on the off chance late in the evening after our original dinning plans collapsed. A warm friendly welcome from staff that proved to be very pleasant and friendly throughout our meal. Very impressed with the food. Crab starter and French onion soup were really nice. The beef cheek bourguignon was very good and the fish parmentier excellent. An excellent meal rounded off by a couple of espresso martini crepes. I was heavy handed pouring the sauce, but so what, it's chocolate. Wonderful. All in all a tasty dining experience.

Beautiful in every way. A nice break from the usual Newcastle options. Elegant and affordable. Clean. Great service. Many Gluten free options. Non alcoholic drinks are amazing. Alcoholic drinks are super. Kind and beautiful people.
