I went for my 40th birthday and booked a table for two and it was the first time visiting a Cote Brasserie. It was amazing and is now one of my favourite top places for food. I've heard really good things and they didn't disappoint.
The service was attentive and excellent. Friendly staff, clean restaurant and quiet with soft music playing in the background. I like secluded cosy corners and was seated at a table tucked away dimly lit which made me happy. I hadn't asked for it but was happy they had little nooks.
They greeted me with birthday wishes and gave my guest and I complimentary Prosecco which was lovely and made me feel special!
I forgot to take photos because the food looked and tasted amazing so I jumped right in! We ordered olives to share, the gluten free fish parmentier, beef dish (not gluten free for that one) and we both had the passionfruit and lime creme brulee topped with caramelised pineapple. I can recommend all of those. They were incredible!!! Portions were perfect sizes, aromatic flavours, quality ingredients and tender fish and meat so soft it melted in your mouth. Auf deutsch " Ein Geschmackserlebnis!"
The server was great and helped me choose my main when I couldn't decide. I ordered a pinot noir carafe which was delicious. The bill came to just unser £100 for two people which I thought was really reasonable for the excellent quality, 2 mains, 2 desserts, 1 starter and a carafe of wine and attentive service.
As a big bonus: I really liked that there weren't any screaming kids running around. There were some well behaved quiet children in the back of the restaurant but generally I got an adult friendly vibe and I really appreciate that. I also didn't hear loud and vulgar profanity from other guests which makes me think it is slightly more upmarket with nicer clientele which is what I was looking for. I can't wait to go back and try my next dish!
Thank you, Cote Brasserie Chichester for making my first visit exceptional!
I've had the most lovely, relaxing lunch at ASK Italian. My server, Charlie, was incredibly accommodating of me being vegan and gluten-free, which I appreciate is an awkward combination. He was very helpful & did everything with a smile.
I had the lentil ragu, which was hearty, and their new side of greens with a balsamic glaze.
The sarti pink spritz was a free April perk that arrived in my emails and added to the holiday feeling, as I'm currently down for a short break.
First time at Bill's in Chichester. Very busy so probably need to book. Food was delicious and not too expensive. Staff friendly and helpful. Thus was great as friend who was with us is celiac. They were on it.
This place was a wonderful find! I have Coeliac so can’t eat gluten. We came across Billy’s by chance and that had loads of options for me. Situated right on the beach, there was a great vibe in the restaurant, topped off with some lovely staff. I will be going there again for sure!
A cafe in a surf shop - very 'Witterings'. Great coffee but a wide range of other drinks too. Pancakes, cake, all day breakfast and more with a huge range of Vegan and Gluten Free options.
Gluten free food is really limited. There's no menu, you have to go up and ask whether you can have x, y, z whilst ordering, leaving you thinking of the spot. Why no gluten free menu? I ordered a gluten free toastie with fries for £9.95, I was then overcharged by £3 which I got a refund for later. I was told I couldn't have the fries because they're not gluten free due to cross contamination, but no alternative or reduction in price was offered. Someone at our table also ordered a toastie, but on normal bread. What they got, for £9.95, was two toasties with fries. What I got was one toastie and paid the same price. Hugely expensive and not well thought out at all. Disappointing and I won't return, there's so many other places in Chichester that have great choice for allergies and in 2025 I really don't think there's any excuse.
Great find, very attractive wooden building with views over fields.
I was able to get food and coffee suitable for gluten and dairy free.
The coffee was excellent.
Nice little place.
Popped in for a cake and coffee.
Gluten free options on a Sunday are pretty sparse. Also make sure you say to the team, because cross contamination may occur otherwise.
