Best French Restaurants in Ripley

As always the food (especialy the Christmas specials) is excellent however the last couple of visits have been marred by the slow service today with having only mains taking over 90 mins from sitting down to our plates being cleared and then only after asking for the bill. Disappointing and will have to avoid for business lunches in the future.

A warm welcome awaited us on arrival and the 'front of house' were all very attentive and pleasant. The food was, as usual, excellent and served in a timely manner. One of our favourite venues in the Cote 'family'.

We went for lunch for our wedding anniversary, as it is our favourite restaurant, and decided to have the tasting menu. The meal began with a complimentary, delicious butternut soup. Every course was beautiful - beautifully cooked and presented and the amount of food was very well judged. The wine pairings were very well matched and, when I said I didn't like chardonnay, another wine was willingly chosen. Service was friendly, but professional and we weren't rushed at all.

The staff were so accommodating. The food was impeccable and the atmosphere was lovely.

One of our trusted restaurants! We’ve never had a bad meal at Côte and yesterday was no exception. Food excellent (especially the Crème Caramel which is consistently the best we’ve ever tasted). Service was first class - friendly, efficient and helpful. Altogether a very pleasurable meal and reasonably priced too.
