   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.

   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.

   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.

   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.

   We were there on the NYE 22/23. There was a set menu available for a very reasonable price (around £43 p.p.). Also, complimentary drink was served. The staff were very friendly, the food tasty as always and the atmosphere was amazing. It was an incredible dinner. Extremely fair price for what you get.

   Côte in Reading is located on The Riverside at The Oracle shopping Centre. Well presented this is quite a large incarnation of this established eatery franchise. Spacious downstairs and upstairs the venue offers a lot of covers. It can get busy but you shouldn’t struggle to get a table. Staff are prompt, friendly and courteous. The menu offers plenty of choices with some decent wines to be had from the wine list. The food is pretty decent and arrives quickly depending on how busy the restaurant is. A preferable choice to dine in Reading compared to some of the other mainstream eateries.

   Booked a dinner on a Friday night as we have not been to this place yet. The moment we came in the lady was very nice and accommodating. She gave us options where to seat as it is not too crowded last night. Had Calamari for starters. I always loved calamari and Côte’s calamari was perfectly cooked along with the dip, a star!! The steak too was great. According to my likeness of medium rare. The truffle potato puree goes really well with the steak. The man who serves us was really friendly and accommodating. He kept asking if there’s anything we need and if the food is good. I think I won’t go wrong booking this for my birthday on December. Looking forward to it!

   Really good food. Calamari was nice and crispy rather than rubbery or slimy and came with plenty of sauce. Burger and chips were faultless - caramelised onions always take it to another level for me. The meringue dessert was also just right. Would have liked a few more non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks options but not a deal-breaker by far. Came to £37 which included 2 drinks, starter, main and dessert.
