Was R at Côte Brasserie a mag?
I don't feel Cote gets enough love, hence the 5 stars. It is one of the few chain restaurants where I have never had a bad dining experience and the Reading branch is an exemplar of that. I came for brunch and the brunch menu was fun and tasty. Great service with a lot of care taken for their diners. Considering it was quite busy I think that speaks highly of the quality of the staff and how it's being managed. View all feedback.

What Keeley Patel dislikes about Côte Brasserie:
The service was extremely slow. We only had 2 courses in the 2.5hrs we were there. When we challenged the staff about the wait time they said they were busy with a booking of 20 people upstairs (we later discovered there were only about 10 people upstairs). The portions were quite small and therefore not great value for money. Overall we were very disappointed and won’t be going back to that branch of Cote again. View all feedback.
