You have to remember that this place is a chain and therefore many of the dishes will be mass produced elsewhere, some chains disguise that well, some don’t and would suggest Côte don’t. The squid was nice, nothing more than nice, the duck again was nice but certainly heavily seasoned. I had a chocolate fondant for dessert and it was that dish that gave away the ‘prepared off-site’ suspicion. It came within a few minutes of ordering, it’d clearly just excited a warming device simply because it’s not possible to cook a fondant in that time. Decor is pleasant and service was good. Would I return? Probably not, but that been said, it was pleasant.

Amazing food for the 2nd time! Very tasty! Great service and love the set 2 course menu

Excellent food, excellent service. Same as almost any other Cote really. A nice treat for a brunch. See photo.

Food was great and staff so welcoming and very professional, just a really nice place to have a meal.

Lovely relaxing brunch. This place is in a pretty part of Bournemouth under the Victorian arches on Westover Road. Staff were friendly and attentive. Mimosa with fresh squeezed orange juice was cold and delicious. Best hollandaise sauce I've had for ages. They add a service charge but I checked and it does go straight to the staff.

We had a lovely double-birthday dinner there while on a short weekend get-away. Portions good size and food definitely delish 👌🏻 Good variety to choose from too. Relaxing and friendly atmosphere!

Such a fantastic place, really good atmosphere, excellent service and very tasty food! Was really impressed and grateful to have managed to get a table here last minute as it was a very busy Sunday on mother's Day. Will definitely go back again when in the area, highly recommended!

Had a fantastic tartiflette from the specials board. Kids menus are great value for money and the staff were really friendly and attentive. Would happily visit again.

A really lovely evening. Arrived around 8.30pm to a very friendly staff member, who happily sat us. Always nice when you feel welcome somewhere. Gluten free options were plentiful which is always welcome. Food was very delicious and the French onion soup was especially delicious which we both enjoyed. Will definitely be back again as we had a really lovely evening.

Only stopped for a quick bite so hard to say what it would be like for a full courses meal. Staff were friendly and when we arrived it was empty but around 12pm it filled up quite quickly. Food was good. A little on the slow side.

Nice spacious French restaurant. I just had a great breakfast, served with a smile. Unfortunately, food was on the cool side. central location made a nice change from fast food outlets. Recently, I had dinner here, which was excellent.

The mushrooms were just mushroomy but then everything was magnifique. The bacon was lightly salty, crispy, and chewy in the same time. Grilled blood sausage perfectly complemented sweet buttered toasts with fluffy salted butter. The dessert was a culinary fairytale—a chocolate fondue muffin with flowing dark, delicious chocolate, accompanied by vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce. Service was a bit slow, but it didn't impact the overall experience. The restaurant was full of the time of arrival, more sitting upstairs.

Incredibly nice birthday meal. Food was served promptly, was hot, and exceeded expectations. Would absolutely return, service was attentive without being overbearing. Calamari, Crab Maison, Cote de Boeuf, Elderflower Creme Brulee, Almond Financier all recommended.

Amazing mains. We had the pork belly and the sea bream. They were absolutely spot on. The service levels were really great. The desserts were not quite that nice. The table were a bit too close to each other for a fine dining place. Definitely recommend the place.

Nice brasserie in town centre. Booked and ordered steak tartare ahead for 3 of us as there is limited amount made fresh each day. The request wasn't an issue. Food was nice and service was very good. We were seated next to a very rowdy table and asked to move to a quieter area as we literally couldn't hear ourselves think. The manager was understanding, the loud table were kindly asked to quieten down and we were moved without a fuss. I would recommend this place as a nice coffee, breakfast or dinner venue.

I had never been to a French restaurant before.... But I will be going again!! 🥰 It is a beautiful establishment with very friendly yet professional staff. The food was absolutely stunning we originally went here for the Christmas menu but the Sunday menu ended up sounding so good we chose this option instead. The pork was just sensational and I think the best chicken cooked for me to date....and the steak was pretty damn good too, all with accompanying sauces which were delicious. The merlot was also a nice touch 🍷🍷

Had meal with friends last night. The meal was delicious and filling. Very nice atmosphere. The waitresses were superb. Couldn't fault it. Thank you.

Great service, friendly polite staff. Really nice restaurant and the food was really good.

My family and I had a wonderful brunch of vegetarian breakfast with a latte, then tea. We were made very welcome, and the gentlemen service was so friendly and attentive. We weren't rushed & the bill was incredibly good value. Highly recommend

Had a lovely dinner. Steak cooked just right and perfectly paired with red wine. The staff are very professional & accommodating. The gratin dauphinois was perfect.

The food was delicious and the place itself seems to be very nice. Nothing to complain about. Maybe some details could be improved but still pretty satisfied with my experience at Côte!

Delicious mussel and calamari. Nice ambience. Perfect place for a date. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Would recommend and will be visiting Cote in our home town. Food was piping hot, which is important to me.
