  “Lovely venue off the main road- you feel like you could just be at a bistro in France. The food was delicious, perfectly cooked, served swiftly and to our taste. Our server, Patrick was absolutely splendid- so attentive, genuinely friendly and personable. You rarely find people who enjoy hospitality and are natural, welcoming hosts so it was such a lovely surprise! Thank you for a wonderful evening- we will return soon!”

  “I kind of liked it. The food was good, and tasty. We sat outside and that added to the experience. Not so excited with the service - it felt some tables have higher priority than others.”

  “We havent been to Côte since just after Covid, and for the life of me I cant think why not? What a fantastic evening at Côte Brasserie Kensington! From the moment we arrived, the whole team made us feel incredibly welcome. A special mention has to go to Khadija (I hope I've spelt that correctly!), who went so far above and beyond that we're half convinced she secretly owns the place. Her service was outstanding, she was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made our evening even more enjoyable. The food was absolutely superb, every dish was spot on, and the atmosphere was brilliant. It's rare to find a team where everyone is so switched on and clearly enjoys what they do. We'll definitely be back very soon. And to whoever's reading this at Head Office... I think this entire team has earned themselves a paid day off (or at the very least a very generous bonus)! Thanks for a wonderful evening.”

  “Delicious breakfast and super quick! We had to get in and out in order to make our tour at Kensington Palace. We requested a quick turnaround and were in and out in less than 45 minutes! The coffee was especially delicious.”

  “Although I have probably visited most of the London Côtes ( and a substantial number outside London), this was my first visit to this branch. The service was excellent; thanks to my friendly server, Simon. The food was delicious, however, please don't allow the avocado in the green salad to oxidise and turn brown! I took advantage of the free cocktail with the app I downloaded. I left feeling very full so it was a good job I planned to take a long walk afterwards.”

  “Visited twice for the full cooked breakfast special, with OJ and coffee which were good both times. Friendly staff. Didn't get to try dinner as they were so busy outside.”

  “Côte Kensington is an absolute gem in London. From the moment we arrived, everything felt effortlessly welcoming. The food was truly amazing—beautifully presented, full of flavour, and perfectly cooked. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared, classic yet exciting. What really elevated the experience was the outstanding service from Ula. She was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind, making us feel completely looked after without ever being intrusive. Her professionalism and friendly energy added such a personal touch to the evening. An elegant atmosphere, amazing food, and exceptional service—Côte Kensington delivers on every level. We’ll definitely be returning!”

  “Ula was a wonderful wonderful host! Very attentive, complimentary and friendly with a personable service. She had it all under control, with many people coming through the doors Sunday morning for coffee and brunch. Thank you. The food was filling and tasty, and Ula found a way for us to order a smaller portion of a second dish. The brunch menu is varied and had something for all tastes. Highly recommend the French toast stack with the vanilla crème which is incredible! The full Côte breakfast was appreciated too, with the best black pudding. The atmosphere was very relaxed, warm and comfortable. A few tables were full but it was quiet. Lovely surroundings for a chilled brunch on a Sunday.”

The can easily cater to people with Celiac with a wide selection of dishes. we have eaten here a few times and will continue too. Mussel and frites are the best !”

  “We had a very enjoyable pre-concert dinner at the Kensington Cote this week. The service was friendly and fast, and we were lucky with the weather, so an outside table allowed us to get some early evening sunshine 🌞. The a la carte mains we chose were the Beef Cheek Bourguignon and the Poulet Breton with the Petits Pois à la Française side dish, both were delicious. A couple of free glasses of Crémant Rosé was a nice bonus too. Recommended.”
