Gorgeous food and great gluten free menu. Restaurant was incredibly hot and loud which did ruin the atmosphere a bit! Staff were so helpful and friendly, so overall it was a nice experience

Mary Wright

Amazing, helpful and friendly staff and fabulous gluten free menu and really made provision for coeliacs. Really recommend.

Ivan Moreno

While in Candem we found this curious place. They control the whole gluten issue. We ordered a crepe with jam and banana that was super delicious. They make them with buckwheat. It is a cozy place.

Caleb Barlow

Entire gluten free menu

Delicious and with PLENTY of gluten free options!!! So so good. 100% recommended.

Olivia Seward

Gluten free menu was fantastic and the staff was even nicer!!

Nicholas Noll

Do not go here with allergies!! I have celiac disease, and despite ordering from the gluten free menu, I had a severe reaction to their food.

Rochelle

I am coeliac and I normally rely on Côte as a safe place to eat - they have a gluten free menu and your food comes out clearly marked with a flag. Today however I reacted to the food that was served to me. The waitress did not appear to know what coeliac meant. She did offer me the gluten free menu, and I ordered the cheese soufflé and salmon Benedict. Within less than an hour I had a reaction (and several hours later I am still feeling the effects of it). Really disappointing and I hope all staff are trained on what coeliac means and how to avoid cross contamination.

Delicious food, with attentive and respectful service. An absolute pleasure to eat here. And they are excellent for gluten free which is extremely appreciated.

Jessica Gutiérrez

Super yummy gluten free crepe! Nahid was so nice to us! Thanks for the servicie and kindness

Ihuoma Nwosu

Perfect for a meal with family. Well located, reasonable prices, and staff are very welcoming and highly attentive when it comes to catering for food allergies - they have a gluten free menu and an allergen matrix.

Marlene EnerChi Vibes

A busy restaurant, do book in advance. Nice decor with a stylish vibe. Efficient staff they really know what they’re doing, on the ball with customer service. It’s really helpful that they have a gluten free menu and to know that Cote are fully accredited by Coeliac UK. Takes the stress out of ordering! Staff are superb. Nothing was too much trouble. We were well looked after. Food is delicious and great value for money.

Laurence Monballieu

We loved this restaurant and really appreciated that they had a full menu of gluten-free dishes. The dream for my daughter who is allergic

Aurelie Fauvin

We are a French family with 3 children (11, 6 and 1 years old) we were very well received in this restaurant. The + that we liked: - Eve the waitress was adorable and also spoke to us a little in French - gluten-free meals offered including a delicious chocolate cake (Antoinette cake), light, not too sweet, a real delight - possibility of really heating our baby's potty (because for a few days it has only been in a bowl of hot water and it takes a long time and ultimately not very hot) We highly recommend

It didn't feel like just any lunch, treated like a special guest, incredible food for amazing value (even Gluten Free, which is no small feat!) - dedicated menu, and special care to ensure a stress free meal

Brasserie Blanc exceeded our expectations. My friend and I have both been a few times but not for ages and largely we book because it’s such a convenient location on Southbank. But tonight the food was delicious! And that was only the pre theatre menu. So good we had 3 courses and ate the most we have done for ages. Please note - they were EXTREMELY accommodating with regard to my gluten and lactose intolerance and my companions’ mushroom allergy. Nothing seemed too much trouble. I was surprised to learn all the ice creams and sorbets were lactose free - so we tried almost all of the flavours. They have an extensive range of gorgeous non alcoholic drinks (I don’t drink) and gorgeous alcoholic cocktails (my friend does), that we also consumed. Glad to see BB is moving with the times as sometimes I can barely find anything interesting to drink with my meal other than water. Our waitress Élysée was a delight. (I hope I have spelt her name right). Truly brilliant customer service from her and other members of staff checked in attentively as well. Setting the bar high BB, well done.

Candy Ma

Great experience! I am vegan and gluten free, they were able to put together a very substantial and tasty salad for me. Would definitely go there again!

Wayne Bartlett

I would like to start by emphasizing that the food and the atmosphere were lovely on our visit with excellent provision for gluten free options. However, for the second time in a row the following situation happened : 1) I make a reservation through an offer link sent to me by Cote with complimentary cremant 2) Upon arrival the staff confirm this offer 3) We order the complimentary cremant and reconfirm the offer code 4) When the the bill arrives it contains the full cost of the cremant 5) I then have to quibble and explain again and get the bill corrected 6) Various excuses are offered such as "You didn't let us know" (which I did) or "it is very busy" (which it wasn't) At the end of a lovely meal it is disappointing to have to tackle this matter (again !!) I would like to know if Cote Richmond are hoping that I won't notice and pay for the drinks or is it a system issue or is it staff training ? In any event it is a little unpleasant and it does not happen at other branches of Cote I hope you will get back to me on this and that this can be ironed out.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of dining at this incredible restaurant, and let me tell you, it exceeded all of my expectations! From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure my dining experience was top-notch. Now let's talk about the food – oh my goodness, where do I even begin? Their chicken dishes are absolutely divine. Each bite was bursting with flavor, cooked to perfection, and incredibly tender. Whether it was their grilled chicken breast, crispy chicken tenders, or succulent chicken thighs, every option was a winner. As I am gluten free, the manager Dini was very attentive and was very careful about my allgeriers and intolernaces. And let's not forget about their kale salad. I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical at first, but one bite and I was hooked. The kale was fresh and crisp, tossed with the perfect amount of dressing and topped with an array of delicious ingredients like crunchy almonds, creamy avocado, and tangy feta cheese. Overall, this restaurant has become my go-to spot for delicious chicken dishes and kale salads. Whether you're a meat lover or a veggie enthusiast, there's something for everyone here. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

Marta Martín Sardà

A very cool place and excellent service from start to finish. Without a doubt a place to go if you like good food and want to live an experience that makes you want to repeat. Delicious food. I had the mushroom, truffle and goat cheese risotto. Afterwards, an incredible and gluten-free blueberry soufflé! They serve it with vanilla creme anglaise. I have celiac disease and when we arrived the first thing they asked us was if we had any allergies or intolerances and that made me feel much calmer. They have many dishes that are naturally gluten-free that are delicious but the truth is that it was a pleasant surprise to find this gluten-free soufflé. The first soufflé of my life and an absolute delight. I will definitely return when I pass through London. Thanks again to the service, they were very friendly, fun and welcoming. Thank you so much!

Nathan Smardina

Great experience for partner birthday. Able to cater for coeliacs - gluten free menu. Amazing steak!!! Will be coming back for sure!

Lior Seidel

Great French one Michelin star Amazing experience. They have 3-10 course menu and can adopt most of the dishes to gluten free.

Sophie Cartwright

Always a delicious option! The salad and main are all gluten free except for the bread. Love that you get two servings as standard.

Steff Beglin

Fantastic service, being gluten free the ranges were brilliant and tasted great

Amy Haworth Johns

Great food and lovely staff were super helpful with our dietary requirements. Delicious gluten free options and dairy free options

Johannes Lüdecke

We had a great breakfast, there were several gluten free options. Nice Ambiente. Service (Rafa) was very friendly and attentive

Philippa Briggs

Absolutely delicious! Just had the BEST lunch for a family birthday. I'm Dairy & Gluten Free and was able to have the 7 course Gourmand menu, with obvious modifications, but NO fuss. It was wonderful to feel 'normal' and not to have to work my way through an allergens list. The GF bread was the best I've ever tasted! Thank you to Giles and everyone at Galvin la Chappelle who looked after us beautifully and made us feel so welcome and special. The venue is gorgeous and although this was our first visit, it won't be our last. Thank you. Philippa, Ian & Louisa X

Our children had gifted us a voucher for La Trompette so we opted for the fixed price lunch at £57. With no alcohol but lots of soft drinks and cost plus options, including the 12.5% service charge, we paid under £190 for 2. A relaxed service (we weren't in a hurry), gluten free options (including bread) and despite being almost full, you could talk without shouting (yes, looking at you River Cafe). The food was delicious - my rhubarb dessert was outstanding, beautifully cooked to a silken smooth texture. Each dish was presented exquisitely, no fancy smancy ingredients just excellent primary products incredibly cooked. Well done La Trompette, all in all one of the best meals I've eaten in a long time.

Martina Mereu

The whole team was welcoming and attentive, Oana who assisted us during our lunch was very kind and friendly. The manager as well, touched based when we were leaving asking if I was feeling good since I mentioned a gluten allergy. I sincerely much appreciated it. The food was tasty, good presentation and balanced portion. Wine list very nice with different choices to match with the dishes. Maybe I would review the cocktails list and improve the making process but overall lovely experience. We will come back for sure and we recommend it to everyone.

Andrew Hunter

Booked lunch for three Monday 17 February 2025. Took advantage of the special offer 50%off two courses. Excellent value. Service was prompt and attentive. One diner was a coeliac and the waitress was knowledgeable about the gluten free dishes. Comfortable surroundings.

Jenny Rivers

Absolutely brilliant! I’m gluten and dairy intolerant and they were so helpful, I had my own bread, butter, vegetable portion (without butter) etc., they cooked my food with oil instead and asked me about everything. They were also really discrete, I hate having to shout across the table about it. Couldn’t recommend more highly, thoroughly enjoyable and delicious experience.

JAMES PRENDERGAST

Early dinner for 4 adults. 2 glasses of wine. 4 x starters. 2 x grilled cod, 1 x hake, 1 x moules and prawns. Busy and as ever very good service. Great atmosphere, everyone loves eating here. Approx £55 per head so decent value for mid range and central soho. Look out for the Specials board. 2 of us are Coeliac and they catered for us easily. I am a regular here and have been for 20 years, and will definitely return.

Shaun Bagnall

Great food (with a great portion of the menu gluten free which is a winner for me) and the service is always lovely! Dog friendly, and with heated external seating too which even on the coldest nights is still cozy. If you haven't been yet, why not!

John Patrick

Gorgeous late lunch in the bustling Covent Garden. Friendly , attentive staff. Good gluten free options. Bad not to have toilets and that the nearby public toilets charge £1.50 per person!

Alison

Good choice of menus and dishes including gluten free options listed on menu.

Claire Ross

Great experience. They have gluten free bread and their salads are amazing!

Blackbird Design

Had a meal with friends last night. Staff are very friendly and the restaurant is beautiful. Last but not least, the food was really delicious and had great gluten and dairy free options and the waiter was very helpful with this and extremely funny. Last time we had cocktails and they were gorgeous too.

Bryce Jones

The staff were nice, the restaurant had a good atmosphere, the menu varied but not too much choice and the food was excellent. They cater for dietary restrictions including gluten

Grace Beckett

Amazing food, good gluten free options. Highly recommended.

Sarah Cooper

Such a gorgeous place. Excellent service and even have a couple of gluten free options. Cakes to die for

Serge Blazhievsky

Very good for gluten free option

Germaine Slater-Arnold

Went for an anniversary dinner. They had a bit of a nightmare at first, slow service and forgetting that one of our party was coeliac. But they realised quickly and rectified their mistakes, making it feel like a special night. By the end of our evening we felt very well looked after, well fed and well watered. The food was delicious, the views are lovely and I would definitely come back.

Yee

Fantastic restaurant I the heart of the city of London. The staff created a wonderful experience for my guests at my birthday dinner. The service is exceptional. The food is sublime- the set A menu was excellent as was the vegan gluten free menu. Thank for creating a wonderful atmosphere for my birthday evening

Pascal Schaedeli

OMG, this place requires more than 5 stars. We immediately fell in love with this little French oasis! So much so that we booked for the following evening (and our last in London) upon paying! What makes this place special? Everything really, but two in particular: dishes taste like mom’s cooked them, not a restaurant. And then the service: Pauline and Cyril stand out for their warmth, professionalism, and effectiveness, smiling, available, and helpful throughout a long evening with a huge workload for two. The menu is on a board with 3-4 starters every day, 3 main dishes, and a few deserts. Very gluten-free friendly too!

Andrew de Csillery

Fantastic experience. 7 course tasting menu with wine pairing, 4 hours of impeccable service and brilliant, imaginative food. Vegetarian menu just as good as the normal one, catered without any trouble for my gluten-free (coeliac) needs. Couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate my daughter’s 21st.

Cathy Williams

Been for lunch today. Really nice Retro feel Bistro. My type of place !nice waiter very knowledgeable about Coeliac Disease, big bonus for me😀. Beef Bourguignon was delicious.Good recommendation by my friend. Will go again

Jake Williams

Fantastic food with quick service. My partner can’t eat either dairy or gluten and they were more than happy to modify dishes to satisfy these requirements, a lovely small restaurant that we will be definitely be visiting again

Went for Emily in Paris afternoon tea. Waited around 10minutes to get the menu, then 15minutes later savoury sandwiches served. Tea was served after we finished our sandwiches. Amazing that they managed to cater gluten free sandwiches and sweet treats. And very surprisingly great scones that are already gluten free the best scones I ever had! Gluten free coconut cake was also amazing. Would definitely consider going back for the amazing gluten free sweet treats!
