Covent Garden - Cote Brasserie

I had a pleasant Christmas dinner at this charming café with a French-inspired vibe. Although I experienced some issues with the online booking system, the kind and efficient administrator at the café resolved everything on the spot, which made for a smooth and welcoming experience. The food was good and complemented the festive atmosphere nicely. I tried their non-alcoholic Christmas cocktail, but I wouldn’t personally recommend it—it tasted more like a sweet compote. That said, I wasn’t feeling my best and avoided regular cocktails, so this might have influenced my preference. Plain water would have been a better choice for me. A special mention goes to Rahul, the waiter, who was polite, attentive, and made sure everything went smoothly. The café’s location in the heart of the theater district is also a big plus, adding to its convenience and charm. Overall, I enjoyed the evening. It’s a cozy spot with good food, excellent service, and a welcoming ambiance. I would recommend it for a relaxing meal.

This was my pick of a lovely place to have a family Christmas get together and it did not disappoint. The food is excellent and the three course Christmas lunch is great value and tastes delicious. Service was excellent, very attentive without being overbearing and there is a lovely welcoming atmosphere. We spent a few hours here and felt comfortable and welcome throughout. Thank you.
