AMAZING! Great food, wonderful atmosphere, friendly and superbly knowledgeable about dietary requirements! Two coeliac diners! Our server, Tanya, was knowledgeable, friendly, pleasantly interactive and catered superbly to our two coeliac diners as well as accommodating a small appetite of our elderly dad. The food was superb, peppercorn sauce on the GF steak and the sauce with the seabass are off the scale. The smash burger went down a treat and the addition of the Baileys to the ice cream was quite luxurious! Wish there was one closer but will definitely be back! The decor and ambiance suited us well and, with one partially deaf diner, the atmosphere was perfect.

If you are gluten free you HAVE to come here. the cakes are phenomenal. I don’t know about anyone else but I have this thing where I have to buy gf dessert to try when I find it because it’s rare to find good desserts and oh my gosh! I tried the coffee cake and the blackberry orange cake and WOW! literally fantastic - they had two more cake options I didn’t get but would have. I just got it to take it away but seems like a lovely place. great service too plus great pricing.

We visited York for a day trip as a family and, just like in other cities we’ve been to, we decided to go with Côte — and once again, it did not disappoint. If you ask me, the starters might be the weakest part of the meal — and I say that only because the mains and especially the desserts are so good that they outshine the rest. Still, everything we had was enjoyable. We had noted during our reservation that one of us has coeliac disease, and without even having to mention it when we sat down, they brought over a gluten-free menu. Huge thanks to the team for being so considerate and attentive. For starters, we went with the Camembert Brûlée and Calamari. As mains, we had the Confit Duck à l’Orange and Poulet Breton (corn-fed roasted half chicken) — both of which you can see in the photos. The gratin dauphinois served with the duck takes the whole dish to another level, and the duck itself was cooked to absolute perfection. On the side, I opted for the Green Salad, which might sound simple, but it’s incredibly tasty — the mustard vinaigrette deserves its own shoutout. Highly recommend trying it. For dessert, we chose the Lemongrass & Lime Leaf Crème Brûlée, Crème Caramel Classique, and Chocolate Mousse. Everything except the Crème Brûlée was an instant hit with us. While it was beautifully made in theory, the flavor combination just wasn’t to our taste. Côte once again nailed it. Fingers crossed the Manchester branch reopens soon so we don’t have to travel cities just to enjoy these amazing dishes!

Lovely restaurant with delicious food. We were 2 adults and a toddler and had dinner on a Sarurday early evening. Restaurant was busy but not fully occupied, although we had a booking. Staff were very friendly and accomodating, specially with gluten free options for our child. Food was fantastic and although we didn't go for dessert (as we ended up quite full) the cake display looked appetizing. I would definitely recomend!!

We came here for dinner to celebrate our anniversary. It was our first visit and it was amazing! The food was so yummy, lovely presentation and definitely worth the money. The best dauphinoise potatoes we have ever had! I’m gluten free, and they were so accommodating and helpful! And I felt safe to eat which is always nice :)

Service was quick and polite but they advertise as caters for gluten free but what this really meant was a menu the same as the normal one but with almost everything crossed of as not gluten free, leaving a couple of cakes and a fruit salad.

An overall disappointing afternoon tea experience for a gluten-free person. -Supermarket bought cakes (clearly from Sainsbury's) on gluten free afternoon tea plate. - 'cheese parcel alternative' for me was just a piece of white toast and cheese, not an equal alternative. -£5 extra for the pleasure of a GF option which as noted, felt like poor effort and poor quality Unfortunately Plush under delivered and over charged for what I got here. Positives: Coffee and scone were good and clearly homemade Summary: please make better gluten free options and don't buy supermarket cakes or biscuits for the afternoon tea, it is unfair to charge extra for this lack of service.

A very popular spot for tourists to York as it has the most amazing views of York Minster via a wall of windows! It was quite busy when I visited but staff were lovely, very attentive and welcoming and service was super quick. The menu looked good but I only wanted a coffee and cake which were very good. Be aware that gluten free cakes are not labelled or kept apart from others. Toilets are upstairs. I really enjoyed my coffee with oat milk and piece of tiffin. Will visit again. NB Keep your eyes peeled for the stuffed badger and his friend; you’ll need to speak to the owner to learn the badger’s name and his back story 😹

We both had a lovely meal to celebrate our anniversary. A "proper restaurant" that strikes exactly the right balance of doing excellent food, without feeling too formal. They also have vegetarian and gluten-free options which is good on a small menu. Excellent wine, starters, mains and desserts.

The cafe is AMAZING. I am gluten-free and my friend is vegetarian and we were spoilt for choice. The chai and matcha were both so good, and the hot honey halloumi hash brown stack was possibly the best brunch I've ever had. The cafe is aesthetically lovely and the dog picture walls are so adorable. The staff are lovely too, so friendly and approachable - this place is a solid 10/10.
