Côte Clifton Village - French restaurants in Bristol

Although not a frequent patron, it's very pleasant to be called by one's first name - especially by an employee, i barely recognise. (i never have been very good at remembering people who don't owe me money) i have been here before with my blonde boss, a frequent patron who is received most graciously. perhaps the connection to her was the catalyst. as well as this pleasantry, my stop off for a late impromptu lunch was remarkably agreeable. the french onion soup was very good, but there could have been an improvement with the croutons - a minor matter. the seabream that followed, however, was superb. compliments to the chef. all this washed down with a large glass of very acceptable muscadet. service was gracious, i complimented louise w on an excellent presentation of 'l'addition' - an observation on this last item. i really do prefer to leave the 'servicecharge' or the tip as i would rather call it, at my own discretion, rather than an arbitrary imposition - however, it does declare that these are indeed emoluments for the staff, which is reassuring. overall, it was a very pleasant lunch in salubrious surroundings.

Have been to côte a few times and it’s always a nice experience. food is always of a really high standard and the location is really lovely

Great quality food here and the experience was much better than the cote in kensington . staff were very kind and attentive .

Visited for my partners birthday. service brilliant as was the food and wine. writing happy birthday on her dessert was a finishing touch.

Always consistently high quality food prepared to perfection! cosy ambiance as well and very attentive staff. we had a sea bream, which comes with rich creamy sauce and deliciously melts in your mouth. lamb roast was superb as well with a side of roasted veggies it’s great to have traditional french crepes for dessert as well, i wish there were more varieties though.
