    Great quiet spot for a business breakfast. It’s quite relaxed so you’ll need to flag if you’re on a tight time but the food was incredibly quick and delicious. Two smoked salmon and scrambled eggs and one eggs Benedict - all clean plates!

    Pleasant ambiance, good service - friendly staff. Starters : I had whitebait, which I enjoyed; my guest had beetroot salad which she enjoyed. Main course: I had the chicken schnitzel : in my view overcooked. It was dry and therefore chewy. My guest had the salmon. It also looked a bit well done, but I couldn’t be sure. Chips were excellent. Not the best meal I’ve had at a Côte

    Really nice food and great service. The food is very good, not amazing but that’s fine. Decent value. The wait staff are terrific. The only down side at all is the noise level. It’s just incredibly loud in there and our table of five practically had to shout to hear each other. This was early evening, just before going to the Royal Festival Hall so probably one of their busiest times. If you’re going to see anything on the South Bank it’s incredibly convenient. We had the Poulet Grille ( nice), chocolate mousse ( excellent) and a few steaks ( good but not delicious). Waiters and waitresses are great.

    Very nice food and drink. However, your waiters need to learn to carry wine glasses by the stem and not to put their fingers around the bowl. Not great.
