Côté France

Wonderful as usual from the gracious hosts to the amazing food and wine! We will of course be back again.

Love this place. Very authentic and a real hidden gem.

Excellent food and an enjoyable ambiance.

I flew down to Venice, FL from New York for a football game on Friday evening, 8/23, and had lunch with a friend at Cote France at his recommendation. This was my first time visiting the restaurant and it was a memorable experience. I started with French Onion Soup, and then had a special Parisian sandwich for my main course. I finished with the Nutella Creme Brûlée, and it proved to be the perfect end to our meal. My wife & I will be back in December to spend the winter in Venice, and we plan to make many more visits to Cote France during our stay.

Outstanding restaurant! A real gem in downtown Venice! Good , presentation and excellent service! Highly recommend !

Overall, it was a very good meal. The onion soup was excellent, as was the wine (I had the Cote de Rhone). The beef bourguignon, was tasty, but some of the meat was somewhat dry.

Great food. Nice ambiance. Attentive service. Dining room was a little warm. I can’t wait to return.

When we have Sunday matinee tickets at the Venice Theatre, we often chose this place for lunch because it’s within easy walking distance of both parking and the theatre. Lunch is tasty and reasonably priced. The service gets us served and finished easily in time. So, yes, our tradition will continue through this theatre season.

We were a little disappointed by the summer menu it was limited and as always small portions but still plenty for us as we love French food. I was hoping for something cozier it is very bright but the staff was very friendly and it was tasty.

Great food and experience. Lovely place. We had a great time twice with family and friends.

Best Authentic French Cuisine in Venice! Always a Pleasurable experience

Perfect food, attentive service...a hidden gem!! We will be back!

Amazing dinner! We had a wonderful meal of Escargot, Beef Bourguigon, Scallops, and Crepes for dessert! Food was amazing, the wine list and service terrific! Highly recommend! We will return!

Always predictably great!

Charming staff, great food, excellent wine choices. Perfect Sunday luncheon.

Lovely little authentic French Bistro! Thoroughly enjoyed the evening!!

A cozy and authentic French bistro with wonderful wine and lovely food.

Excellent food and service. It’s a shame that the construction in Venice is affecting business. We had a 6:30 reservation and had no trouble parking. Try Cote France you won’t be disappointed!

I highly recommend this restaurant. The service was excellent, the food superb, the price was $$-$$$. The restaurant is small so I recommend reservations if you are scheduling in the winter season. I ordered the snapper with vegetables and French onion soup......EXCELLENT!

Really amazing food. Ordered the escargot. They make their own butter and infuse it with garlic. Its truly unbelievable. The wine menu is excellent and the prices are very reasonable. They have a brunch on Sat and Sun that I cannot wait to try. Really excellent experience!

Great place for a quick lunch. The food is really good. Nice service. Feels like a true French cafe. My wife and I really enjoyed it.

We attended the wine pairing dinner and not only was the dinner fantastic, the sommelier presented us with four wines. The presentation was informative and fun. All of the wines were great - we bought all four! I would definitely recommend Cote France for a 4 star dining experience. Tomas, the owner, is a young and friendly restauranteur working his heart out to make sure you have a wonderful experience. GO!

Fresh, well-prepared, traditional French cuisine. Staff is friendly and accommodating.

Went for Mother's Day brunch with my sister. Restaurant is very small but efficiently utilized. Food was exactly what you would expect from a French bistro. Pate was awesome! Crepes lovely. Service on point. A definite go to place. Make reservations!

This is my third time at Cote France. We do not mind driving the hour to and from our house in Punta Gorda. We were surprised when we heard of the new ownership. However, the food remains
fantastic. Our meal is enhanced by our being able to bring in our own wine. We will be back.

One of the best meals at a French restaurant! Authentic preparation and staff. Will return when we take our annual trip to Sarasota area.

This was our first visit to this restaurant and we loved the small, intimate space with a European feel. It is located in a quieter location off the main drag of touristi West Venice Ave. in the former San Marco Hotel. The food was excellent. A limited menu, but I always feel this is a good thing so to prepare every dish well. My sister and I had the duck, my husband the stuffed chicken. Everything was cooked to perfection, not too much sauce or butter but beautifully seasoned. Desserts were yummy and also they had a nice wine list. We will definately be back. This might become our new regular dining place.

Easter Brunch

We have been there several times and have never been disappointed. Not a fancy place but food is excellent and beautifully presented. If your going to the Venice Theater, it is right next door. Not a large restaurant so, in season, you should book at least a week ahead. Bon Appetite!

Recent home buyer in Venice and first visit to Cote France. My wife and I will certainly return. Very authentic and delicious French bistro cuisine. Service was prompt and attentive. Decent wine selection. Prices were consistent with value received.

Service was excellent!
The staff very attentive and pleasant.
Food was delicious, flavorful and arrived hot.

WE enjoy every visit to Cote France. Highly recommend!

Lovely time as always. Great, authentic French cuisine by wonderful people. A true gem in Venice.
This time we had brunch, which was excellent.

Excellent restaurant under new ownership for the past 3 months. Real french food and the wine recommendations are excellent. Our experience having been to most of the restaurants on Venice Blvd and the side streets is that THIS IS THE ONE NOT TO MISS.
