COTE BRASSERIE CLIFTON VILLAGE REVIEWS

My friend and I visited and were given a QR to scan and leave feedback but it didn’t work so thought we would do it here instead. Our food was amazing and all of the staff were lovely, especially Hayden who was our waiter. He was absolutely great and we were very impressed by his ability to clear all of the plates off our table in one go! Very impressive!

Stunningly delicious meal! scallops were slightly overdone but still tasty. Pork belly was best I've had and the choux bun with pistachio was stunning! The great customer service made the evening so enjoyable and we can't wait to return.

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

LITTLEFRENCH REVIEWS

An absolutely wonderful meal! We started with the champagne and oysters which were absolutely delicious, as well as the asparagus with goats cheese which was fab. Followed with the venison and aligot which were all superb and finished off with chocolate mousse and creme brûlée to end what was a perfect meal! Thank you very much! I look forward to returning!

Five stars is not enough for this amazing establishment. It’s one of the best in England. Making green beans to taste this great takes greatness. The fish is super. Steak could be slightly more tender.

Highly recommend! Came with my mother for a special evening on a weekend away. Service, food and wine were all excellent. We loved it and will return!

MUSE BRASSERIE BRISTOL REVIEWS

Came here from a recommendation and was not disappointed whatsoever, the food was incredible and reasonable for the price. The location was a bit deceiving from the outside but is beautiful on the inside and the service was very genuine and professional. Our server Deepak was so amazing and attentive to the fact it was for a birthday, giving us a special booth to sit in and even gave us a birthday brownie slice free on the house! Would definetly recommend for their food and service especially.

Amazing meal. The staff were all really helpful and friendly. I had the catch if the day which was delicious. I went with a vegetarian and there was loads of options for them. The presentation and the taste of the dishes made for a great night.

Wow what an amazing place! A rare gem in Bristol, they have loads of meat but also tons vegetarian, not just your token 2 veggie choices. Perfect for me and my partner. Food was top quality and the complimentary entrees a nice touch. Staff were incredibly diligent and friendly. A new favourite.
