COTE BRASSERIE BOURNEMOUTH REVIEWS

I visited Cote with a friend who had never been before, I have been quite a few times, and my friend was very impressed on her first visit. Every time I come to Cote-the atmosphere is a good vibe, the staff are very welcoming and attentive, and the food and drinks are always great. This day we tried the steak soirée, and both ordered a steak, a side and a sauce and had the bottle of wine for free as per their offer! They allowed us to try both the house white and house Rose so I could let my friend choose which one to have for the bottle. The food was delicious and we had a cocktail after. The wine was lovely. I couldn’t fault the service , I will definitely be coming back as always. Also last weekend I also did the champagne breakfast which was ultimately divine. The champagne was delicious and the breakfast was just perfect. Thank you so much for being local in Bournemouth, as every time visit, I leave so happy. Dietary restrictions: I am gluten-free and my friend is gluten-free and dairy free and they were so professional and helpful and I love it when the food comes out with the little flags on so I know it is safe to eat!

The food was excellent, French onion soup was very tasty. The steak frites with truffle fries was amazing and the mussels very fresh and flavoursome the white wine sauce was lovely. The staff here are very pleasant and nice great experience.

Incredible restaurant. At first we got lost in the menu but waiter was super helpful in making the choice. The food was amazing, top-notch service and delicious drinks. Can’t recommend enough for a special night out.

BRASSERIE BLANC BOURNEMOUTH REVIEWS

I recently had my birthday dinner there and I must say it was perfect! The food was delicious, drinks were amazing, atmosphere was lovely and most importantly our service was excellent! We were very well taken care of and upon arrival I received a glass of Prosecco. Very impressed with the service and it truly made the whole evening really enjoyable and relaxing. The gentleman that served us was very attentive, helpful and so kind. Will definitely be back in the near future!

Great location, view, and atmosphere. Well kept restaurant with a cozy but cheerful atmosphere. Located in the Marriott, it is easily accessed by hotel occupants, or even from the beach. Highly recommended as the food was very homey and very tasteful. Wait staff are friendly and food is very reasonably priced for the location and quality of food. No constructive feedback, good job!

We booked a big group dinner of 48 people for our wedding and Brasserie Blanc staff were amazing! The food was amazing and all our guest said the same thing and the service was great. I can’t wait to go there again.

ESCOFFIER RESTAURANT REVIEWS

I took my parents for dinner here after seeing recommendations online. We had a 7 course tasting menu for £29 which in itself is a bargain! The food was lovely and I liked the variety of the courses, and the fact you didn’t know what you would get until the day. There was SO much food and I loved the little bits you got after dessert, we ended up having to take these home! The students were lovely and it was nice to chat with them about their course and seeing them being taught.

An amazing 7 course meal. Each course, explained by 'William' was perfectly balanced to compliment with each other. I enjoyed the palet cleanser of a blackcurrant sorbet which was served before the perfectly cooked lamb. Overall a lovely experience.

Maisie and Anya, our waitresses were lovely very attentive and explained every dish very well I wish them every success in their careers.
