Very expensive for what you get, quite small portions but you definitely pay for the experience.Vegetarian options: Very very limited vegetarian options, only 1 that I saw and 1 vegan option.

Amazing service and food! Love eating here. The ribeye is to die for. Highly recommend the Apple Tarte Tatin to share, it is incredible too.

Alisha was absolutely fantastic, she was so unbelievably kind and smiley and really made our experience extra special. Thank you!

Great little brasserie. Visited here on Mother's Day having booked. We had a table right by the window which was nice as some of the tables towards the back looked a little dingy. Both opted for the Côte breakfast, a mimosa, and a pot of tea. No complaints. Will likely be back for lunch.

My family and I had a lovely time here for our first visit. All very much enjoyed our food and the service we received was great. Definitely recommend if you fancy some classic french

We had an evening menu fix Prix which we really enjoyed. The manager was helpful, the food was excellent and we would return.

A shame to post this as I've had an amazing meal in Cote Brighton, I had the diots and Breton fish stew, both really nice. Unfortunately my partner's burger was very overcooked, it was replaced but I had finished my meal before it was brought out so we were both eating alone. It was removed from our bill though so not all bad. I would still recommend eating there, just maybe don't get the burger.

The whole experience was very positive right from the time we arrived, food was great but the service we received from Chloe and Alisha was superb, very attentive, polite, nothing was too much trouble, a real credit to Cote. Please thank them for us and we will definitely be back again, lovely ambiance at the Lewes restaurant.

We came here for lunch, looking forward to trying their alpine menu. We chose cheese gougeres to share to start with, cheesy choux buns which were ok. I then had a warm beetroot salad, I loved the addition of the pistachios. My friend had the beef bourguignon and my partner had a big comforting dish of Tartiflette that I had to help him with. The food overall is great and doesn’t taste like a chain, and we love the promotions they do, like free cocktails with mains. It’s just the little things that let it down with service, like my menu was dirty, we weren’t given plates with the starter, giving customers a spoon when a dish has a lot of sauce, pouring the wine from a wine bucket for you, helping with the door if someone has mobility issues. Also despite the cocktail promotion still having these appear on our bill. So the food is great but the service lets it down a bit
Group of chums meeting for a yearly get together. Had the small room. Perfect for our needs. Asked for music to be turned down. It was. We were in early to get the early and cheaper menu. Excellent. And great service. A memorable evening. Thanks.

Set menu but service added automatically and it is embarrassing to request its removal. Once drinks, service and surcharges added, not such a reasonable deal. Good food but service was slow and inefficient, had to remind a couple of times for courses to be brought e.g. my desert was forgotten for 15 minutes but brought immediately when prompted. Extra £ for truffle on the chips; I’d go as far as to say no truffle flakes added at all. Unhappy with service and seemingly inexperienced staff. Paid a lot of money including alcoholic drinks for mediocre service. Good clean decor and popular spot.

Overpriced with small portions. Poor vegetarian options. Service staff polite but not particularly welcoming. First course was forgotten, when finally received was rightly taken from bill. Did not feel it was a special experience going to this restaurant. Will not go to Cote Lewes again.

This was a large group meal arranged as part of a reunion weekend and we could not have been made to feel any more welcome. We enjoyed a lovely meal, excellent service and friendly, helpful, professional staff. Special thanks to Suzi who was extremely helpful when planning this and in accommodating some changes to our booking. We wish that we all lived nearer so that we could visit regularly!

Great choice of dishes on the menu, together with drinks. Fabulous service from Aleisha, she kept checking on us throughout our meal, really friendly and welcoming. All the staff were great also. My husband and I had the Beef bourguignon and it was delicious. Will be visiting again.
