3 /5 Di: We went to Côte because they advertise a weekday 2-course set menu for £17.
We booked and even installed the app,arriving at 7:30pm. Unfortunately,from the set menu the main thing we wanted (steak frites) was not available.They said if we wanted steak we had to upgrade and pay an extra £8.50 per person,which two of us did.
The steak was okay but quite small, and it came only with a very small portion of fries and no sauce. They advertise unlimited fries but we were only served once,with maybe around 20 fries,and no one offered a top-up as they should . The cook on the steak on one of them wasn’t as we wanted(medium rare)
The chicken salad was very basic and the chicken was mixed pieces, not just breast, which felt low quality for the price and the dish.The onion soup was okay. Nothing wow
Overall I didn’t like the vibe or the hype, especially since at 7:30pm on a weekday they didn’t have their most popular dish on the set menu and u had to pay more to get sth else.
I don’t see a reason to go back when there are many better French places serving steak with proper sauces and better portions.
