We really enjoyed our Friday night meal. We had two little kids and the kid's menu was spot on. The restaurant was a nice mixture of a good solid brasserie and a family friendly atmosphere. This is one of the better Cote in the chain.

A meal with friends in a convenient Kensington location. Outside seating, a relaxed atmosphere with a friendly team. Good menu options for both the hungry diner and the not so hungry diner!

This is the second time in the last few months that I have eaten at Côte Kensington. We were a group of 4 and wanted a pleasant atmosphere and good food. The staff were extremely welcoming and efficient. The food was excellent and we all had good portions. The taste and quality was extremely good. I have been a Côte customer for many years and they have consistently maintained their high standard.

We dine here often and was concerned to discover on arrival that a huge party of 60+ was booked with only a very few tables available for individuals. The usually attentive service was distracted to begin with, however the food was as good as usual and once the party underway the managers were very attentive and apologetic that we may have been disturbed. We enjoyed a very happy evening. Can highly recommend the pork belly - delicious!
