Very overrated, fish definitely not fresh, chips are soggy the price for gluten free is astronomical, savaloy was cold and tuff. Used this fish and chip shop a few times and it's getting worse so stopped using and now use the loft at summersdale where food is a lot cheaper and a lot better. Sorry LA fish you've just lost a customer..
Cozy vibes with tucked-away tables, great atmosphere, and a mostly adult crowd make this spot perfect for a relaxed outing.

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!
Celebrations shine here with beautifully presented dishes, a welcoming atmosphere, and attentive service that makes everyone feel at home.

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.
Enjoy a welcoming vibe with plenty of unique options to please everyone, making it perfect for a fun family meal out.

I am Coeliac and had the most amazing Pizza last night. Nothing was too much trouble and I also managed to have Dough Balls - thank you Pizza Express. Our waitress was absolutely lovely also and actually usually works in the Arundel restaurant but Chichester needed help. Unfortunately I didn't get her name but she is a great asset to you. Thanks again, I will be back.
Located right by the beach, this gem offers a cozy vibe with hot drinks by the woodburner and a generous menu to satisfy all cravings.

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!
Chill vibe with awesome drinks and a diverse menu, perfect for a laid-back hangout after surfing or exploring.

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.
Expect a vibrant atmosphere with fantastic flavors and generous portions, making it a great spot to unwind and enjoy time with friends.

Excellent meal at Reina Kitchen. We came on a Wednesday afternoon and they gave us some free starters and salads - apparently they were using them for photos and they would go to waste, lucky day for us! The waitresses and waiters were lovely and very efficient. Excellent deal on cocktails from 9-5pm, I had the lychee martini which was absolutely delicious. But of course the most important element - the food was fantastic. Everything tasted so fresh, so well seasoned, so flavorful - we somehow managed to eat absolutely everything. Will come back here when in Chichester - a must try. Plus, we had a gluten free diner with us and they had lots of options for her. We’ll be back!
Expect a cozy vibe with a diverse menu and incredible homemade hashbrowns, perfect for a relaxed meal with friends.

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.
Chill vibes, adorable setting, and plenty of options make this place a perfect spot to hang out and enjoy the ambiance with friends and pups.

Great place to go for a drink when the sun is shining. Food wise, there are not a lot of options (if any in the evening) for coeliac sufferers, which is a shame. There is plenty of free parking available in the area.
Charming spot with a lovely garden, perfect for a quick meal before catching a show, praised for speedy service and wholesome options.

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.
A vibrant spot with a welcoming vibe, known for quick service and fresh pizza that keeps everyone coming back for more.

Absolutely love this place and the Chiddester site is great.
Wonderful team, great pizza and the location is as good as it gets.
Current favourite is a number 5 - it’s a Napoletana or a Caprizzioza (was a Pizza Express favourite).
Sourdough so helps on the gluten front a little.
Maria runs a slick and efficient ship - service is superb.
Expect a place with good food and attentive service, but clarity on dietary options could use some improvement.

Really great customer service especially in accomodating my specific gluten and dairy free requests.
They put together a lovely breakfast for me and it was delicious. Very attentive and quick service, friendly and patient.
Will definitely return.
Only feedback is gluten free oat milk or other milks without sugar would be great!
Really excellent food and a menu that's a little different to the norm. My garlic nan was probably the lightest I've ever eaten.
What most impressed us was the waiter's comprehensive understanding of gluten free. He fully understood not simply that the breads were not gf but that sauces are often thickened with wheat flour. They do not thicken their sauces with wheat so my partner could have anything on the menu.
Great food, quick service and attentive, well informed staff.
