£25 and under
French
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.

    Excellent food. The downside is that having used OpenTable for the last 5 years in St. Albans, I finally get my first reward voucher from OpenTable and every restaurant I have used here is on the “excluded” list. This is a joke for a reward program……. Will Cote Brasserie accept my GBP 35 voucher the next time I go???? Please advise. Thanks, Chris.

    Great food and service but they only take cash payment if you have the right money as no change given! They should say this when you book. Poor to only take card payments

    Great food, great service. There’s a good selection of fish and vegetarian options. It’s not too noisy. You can actually hold a conversation with your fellow diners.

    We had a lovely waiter who was immensely helpful (I took my Parkinson’s relative) and made sure we were comfortable. I ordered a veggie dish which really wasn’t nice. The pud was OK ditto the non-alcoholic beer. But I would prefer to pay a bit more and eat elsewhere.

    Food was very tasty, although particularly with the half lobster mains we ordered, the portions can be a bit small for the price. Deserts were excellent and the wines and cocktails also excellent. Nice atmosphere and ambiance. Staff were pleasant but due to it being a Friday night we had to wait for a long time in between each course and to pay the bill.

    Good food and service as always. It was the first time I had eaten out in the evening in St Albans since February and I felt very safe as the tables were well spaced and the staff all wore masks.

    Great meal for two on Saturday evening with good atmosphere and appropriate social distancing. Staff were very engaged, friendly and helpful. The food is great. We prefer the slightly smaller French portion sizes so if you’re looking for massive platefuls this is probably not the place for you. We both had fillet steak with sides and wine and starters and desserts. The bill at £110 was at the top end of what we normally pay here but reflects our menu choices - you can eat here for a lot less if you want to!

    We went for Eat out to Help Out on a very hot day, there was no air conditioning so the place was stifling when asked if we could eat outside we were told because it had rained earlier we couldn't. We were informed that the gas was not working so many things on the menu were not available, including french fries (I believe these are cooked in an electric fryer so why not available?). Before we left other diners were being served food we were told were not available. It is no wonder chain restaurants are declining if this is the way customers are received! Quite honestly I will never go to Cote Brasserie again. If chain restaurants want to survive in these difficult times then the management need to make sure that the teams that are running them take pride in what they deliver!

    The most food was nice and service good. However, I must take umbrage at an ‘optional’ 12% service charge being automatically added to the bill. We were only two people - not a large party. When tips are presented in the bill on a card reader you wonder how much of it staff even get.
