We had lovely outdoor brunch in the sun. Every item cooked to perfection. Good menu, different options whether veg or non veg. We enjoyed out meals and complete breakfast is a really nice option.

I have been to cote many times before , and as an international student , I would say cote is definitely a must-go restaurant in Canterbury and one of the best! I went last night , anniversary date night with my partner. I ordered the crab maison as a starter and the Salmon with freshly cooked chips and a lovely creamy white wine sauce & broccolini. The experience was great, as usual, the taste of the food is exceptional and incredibly refreshing and delicious. I recommend the Raspberry mojito as well — it was very refreshing , especially if you’re one who likes lighter alcoholic drinks!

Cote’s team is amazing. Everything was top notch. We were so pleased with the experience that we made a booking for another evening before even leaving the restaurant. Creme Brulee was amazing!!

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying breakfast at this fantastic French restaurant, and it was an experience I won't soon forget. The service was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and truly made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the black pudding. It was cooked to absolute perfection, with a rich, savory flavour that was unlike anything I’ve ever tasted. The texture was just right—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside—and it paired beautifully with the rest of the breakfast. Every bite was a revelation, showcasing the chef’s skill in elevating a classic dish to new heights. The atmosphere was equally delightful, with a warm, inviting setting that made for a perfect start to the day. Whether you’re a fan of traditional French cuisine or simply looking for an outstanding breakfast, this restaurant is a must-visit. I can’t wait to return and indulge in more of their culinary delights!
