Côte Chichester

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!
