Cote Brasserie Bluewater - Greenhithe

We’ve not been for ages, we live about 15 miles away. We decided to go there specifically, as in we weren’t shopping and then popped in. The menu has changed slightly since we last went. I chose the sea bream. It was beautifully cooked and perfectly seasoned. As was the pork belly that my husband had. I think it’s rare to get good food perfectly seasoned when eating out. The sauce with my fish was divine. Just a hint of tarragon. Perfect portion sizes and we had a fabulous waiter looking after us. He even got us the our old favourite desert which is no longer on the menu. I think it’s called coup noir. Again that was fantastic and our waiter knew his stuff. A lovely dining experience tonight. We hadn’t booked and had to come back 1/2 hour later. It was worth hanging around for. I struggle with a lot of menus, usually I find there’s only one thing I’d choose, however there were a good 4 or 5 things I could have chosen. Glad I tried the ‘new to me’ fish dish. We will be back. We dined on 14 January.

Got the fish dinner and it was overcooked and tasteless. The calamari appetizers were fine. Not impressed.

We have been to our local Cote many times and were shopping in Bluewater when we decided to try the branch in the mall. The food and the wines were very good, and although we had not booked and the resturant was V busy we had great service. What made for a great lunch was the very funny waiter who had lots of stories and was very attentive.

Family meal the service from start to finish was superb. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and we felt looked after throughout! The restaurant was very busy so clearly well managed. The food was good however the service made it a perfect lunch!

I recently visited with a group of friends for brunch. Pleased to report that they offer a gluten free menu. Staff very helpful, food was lovely. Defiently would revisit.
