    This was my 3rd visit to Namploy and I ordered the same dish I did the previous times. The chicken Massaman curry. Service was great, our waitress was attentive, although we waited a while for our coffees and then mine wasn’t what I ordered when it arrived. I would say the starters seem a little pricey and the mains don’t come with a side and so to order a side dish bumps up the price of your main dish to just short of £20 in some cases.

    The food was really good, but there was one thing I didn’t like. I tried to order from the children’s menu (which I had done before at another Côte), but the waitress informed me that I couldn’t order from that menu because it is only for children under 12. I found this a little unfair, as I don’t eat much, and the options on the kids' menu suit me better. I don’t understand why different Côte locations have different policies, but I believe customers should be allowed to order what they want regardless of their age. Alternatively, they could charge a bit more if an adult orders from the kids' menu. Overall, my food was good, and the service was satisfactory.
