We went for lunch for our wedding anniversary, as it is our favourite restaurant, and decided to have the tasting menu. The meal began with a complimentary, delicious butternut soup. Every course was beautiful - beautifully cooked and presented and the amount of food was very well judged. The wine pairings were very well matched and, when I said I didn't like chardonnay, another wine was willingly chosen. Service was friendly, but professional and we weren't rushed at all.

One of our trusted restaurants! We’ve never had a bad meal at Côte and yesterday was no exception. Food excellent (especially the Crème Caramel which is consistently the best we’ve ever tasted). Service was first class - friendly, efficient and helpful. Altogether a very pleasurable meal and reasonably priced too.
