The inspiration for the fuss-free French food and the stylish interior comes from the traditional bistros of Paris. The emphasis is on simply, reasonably priced dishes and the menu includes familiar Gallic favourites like moules marinières, steak frites with skinny frites, duck confit and the Côte dessert speciality, crème caramel. Côte is ideal for a quick business lunch, mid-week dinners with friends, and pre-theatre meals. We guarantee you’ll come back time after time.

    Nice tasting but extremely rich food. They could use a little less cream, butter, and so on. Noise levels definitely on the loud side.

    I love this place and have recommended it to my parents and grandparents when they came to visit Edinburgh. They were very happy about the suggestion and also had an amazing time. The atmosphere is great, the staff very friendly and the food is amazing. The Confit Pork Belly was my favourite: the Pork Belly melts in your mouth and the gratin dauphinois and savoy cabbage compliment it very well. They also offer a range of well balanced cocktails to start you off. Everything is priced very reasonably. I would definitely recommend.

    We really enjoyed our evening. The gluten free menu was fantastic and had lots of varied options. The majority of us had the tuna nicoise salad but the tuna steak was very well cooked for my liking. Overall a lovely atmosphere, great service and will be back again.

    I can't say enough good things about our meal here. We were in Scotland for two weeks with another couple and noticed this place after a pub meal at the Queens Arms nearby. We decided to give it a try the next evening and had the best meal of our two week vacation.

    We absolutely loved this gem of a restaurant. While not necessarily on the beaten path it’s definitely close to everything and well worth the time/distance it takes to get there! We went here for dinner and enjoyed cocktails starters mains and dessert. All of which were delicious! We booked a table for a “fancy” restaurant in Edinburgh for my birthday dinner, spending 3 times the amount of money, and both agreed we much rather would have eaten here. The food was better the service was better and the ambiance was warmer while still being stylish. Would highly recommend for all occasions.

    This restaurant is large and could accommodate a last minute reservation for 4, which was appreciated. The noise level is very high and we had trouble hearing each other. The food was pretty good but we did not appreciate that bread is not served with the meal and that we had to pay 3.50 pounds extra! The bright spot was our server, who was excellent and even spoke French with us :).

    This was a terrific dining experience for two tired travelers who had arrived that day from an overnight flight and then a connecting flight from the states and been resuscitated by only a brief nap. We had two seafood starters, a crab dip with baguette and salmon croquettes. Then one of us had duck confit and the other the best tuna Niçoise salad with dark olive tapenade. What a fabulous meal not far from our hotel! Thank you Open Table for the find of this delightful restaurant. The service was personal and fine.

    My partner and I came here for dinner whilst staying in Edinburgh. The atmosphere of the restaurant was cosy and romantic with candle light. We had Zoe serving us and I hope you manage to meet her if you visit here because she was just so attentive and lovely from start to finish. She took the time to recommend both drinks and food, and she was absolutely spot on with both. We had the calamari and prawns to start, with a burger and beef cheek for mains. Beautiful food and fabulous service, thank you Zoe from both of us! We will definitely be back next time.
