I appreciate the friendly attentive staffs and the food are absolutely delicious and worth to try. Our slightly disappointments are the layout for 19 people were not enough space and staff started to add tables and chairs. The service was delayed to start with drinks. Apart from brilliant follow-up by texts or emails, it wasn’t possible to talk to someone on the phone, when we called restaurant to amend our booking, but at the end one of the staff called back and that was a relief. Thanks for the hardwork to serve our group nicely. Everyone enjoyed their foods and drinks. I highly recommend their foods.

Met some friends here and had lunch. Staff were attentive and friendly. Food was delicious I had the mushroom baguette and onion soup with fries. Delicious wines by the glass. Reasonable prices. Right by the canal so nice in the summer.

Hadnt been to Cote for a while and reslly didnt disappoint. Came to celebrate my boyfriends birthday and Sushil and Sai went above and beyond and on top of the amazing staff the food was 10/10. Cant recommend enough. To Sushil and Sai your extraordinary customer service didnt go unnoticed nor unappreciated.

Atmosphere and service was as good as it has always been. Unfortunately the new menu and products were disappointing. Fries have been replaced with cheap tasting thick cut chips. They’ve moved to unlimited fries so I assume this has been facilitated by a cheaper product. Various items have been removed from the menu such as the duck and replaced with pasta dishes. A shame and would assume it has been done to facilitate meals with a better mark up.
Pictured is the half roast chicken and frites which cost £22. Extremely disappointing and honestly felt like a meal you would get at a wetherspoons or equivalent for a fraction of the cost.
Whilst the new menu is advertised as going back to their roots it feels much more like a move to increase profits. Unlikely to visit again, which is a shame as it was a firm favourite.
The staff were extremely understanding and went above what you would expect following highlighting of the issues.

It’s Ok and a nice place to spend time in but not fantastic. Unlimited fries is a nice touch but the fish dishes could be more enticing.

No cash accepted.
Clean, spacious French restaurant with a good ambience.
We had excellent service on our visit. We hadn’t booked and only had about 75minutes before we watched a show. It wasn’t a problem.
The food was really good apart from my scallop starter.
Perfectly cooked scallops but on a bed of whole peas(not purée), bacon and apple. It was a convoluted mess to look at. I didn’t finish it.
Everyone enjoyed their meals.

Overall, lovely interior, friendly staff. Good cocktails, decent food.
Went for Valentines and they clearly just couldnt cope with the numbers.
Everything took so long to arrive, the free flow frites top up took 40 minutes, for one portion. Drinks took 25/30 minutes to arrive, same with the dessert. Staff clearly working hard just too many covers to be able to effectively serve well.

The staff here are really nice and you always know what you’re going get when you visit a Cote Brasserie. Food is cooked well and is well presented. I was a little disappointed on my last visit because my daughter couldn’t eat much from the menu due to allergies. I was very pleased to see an allergen menu at out table as we’d said that a member of our party had food allergies when we booked. However the food we ordered made her feel ill and she couldn’t finish any of her dishes. I’m well aware that cross contamination can happen in any kitchen, but we have eaten out in a lot of places that have managed to get it right, so was a little disappointed nevertheless.

Very pleasant interior
Had the French onion soup as a starter for £9. It was a good portion and was lovely and hot and delicious. Would def recommend this.
Had the steak and frites. It was a good portion for me considering I had a starter. The peppercorn sauce was delish. The salad looked a little forlorn but was still nice. I didn’t know about this prior coming to this restaurant but they do free top ups on fries and sauces. Service was good.

We were very disappointed with our visit to Cote in Reading yesterday.
Myself and my partner booked in advance and on arrival chose a table that had not been laid. The table was wiped then the waitress went off and we were left with no cutlery. Had to prompt the waitress who was leaning against the counter to bring us cutlery.
We then ordered drinks which came and we said we were ready to order. Off went the waitress and didn’t return to take our food order. Once again we had to prompt her to take our order. We ordered olives to start. Meanwhile 3 people sat down at the table to our left. Within 5 minutes they were given olives & bread. We called the waiter over and asked where our olives were. He checked then apologised and said the table beside us had been given ours and he would bring ours out. The people who got ours said the waiter had said they were ‘on the house’. Very strange.
When our olives arrived the waiter didn’t offer them on the house. I asked if they were and he answered ’they are now’.
The food was good, we had the Salmon Bearnaise and steak followed by crème brûlée and chocolate fondant. At the end the waiter asked how the meal was. We stated that although the food had been good we were disappointed with the very slow service and that our starter had been given away. The unbelievable response was: ‘oh well, mistakes happen’. We were stunned at this reply.
All in all our visit was blighted by the inattentive staff, slow service and defensive and uncaring response when we complained.
We will not be returning.
