CAU Restaurant - Kingston Upon Thames

A very warm atmosphere.great food and wonderful service. Stunning view of the river, if you sit outside or by the window inside. You usually need to do a reservation at least a day before as it’s a busy and popular restaurant

So blessed that I found this restaurant near the river. It was a sunny day and good vibe at Cote. The staff were super nice and polite, food were ok. Definitely recommend to anyone who visits Kingston and wants to have a chill and relaxed day.

One of the many chains along the Kingston riverside. Great location and we had a nice outside table. Food and drink was ok had to send a drink back for not being fizzy and my steak was fairly bland but my friend liked her meal. They cater well for gluten free. View menu

Glad we booked as they were queuing up to get in. Very busy at times. Great atmosphere and a good choice of food on the menu. Portion sizes are good and there are meat free options available. Drinks list has many options and reasonable priced wines. Good service kept up to date with what was going on. Must try the crepes with espresso martini cream.

We had a delicious Easter Sunday lunch at this restaurant. We decided to go last minute as we didn't feel like cooking and it was a beautiful day. We sat outside in the sun, which was a great setting. The restaurant is dog-friendly and even brought out a water bowl for our dog without us having to ask. The food and drinks were delicious and the staff were very attentive. We were very impressed overall.

Unfortunately despite making a reservation for lunch today, there was no table for us as they were too busy. We were asked to come back in 20 to 30 minutes. We went to Brown's around the corner instead and had a lovely lunch in a friendly restaurant which even had a pianist. Browns was much better, but we were initially disappointed as we have enjoyed eating at Cote in the past and today was a special occasion. View menu

We had a lovely breakfast this morning at Cote Kingston. As always staff are very friendly, helpful, professional, they ensure you a excellent dining experience. Chef Lukasz made us a breakfast with Poached Eggs and vegetarian breakfast, also French Toast which was superb, testy. They always help you with your small requests and specific food likes etc. From front of house Paulina and Monica was very attentive and professional, they smile and remember you each time you visit the restaurant. We also like to thank rest of the team members which we couldn’t write their names here. We are regular diners at Cote Kingston and we highly recommend this restaurant for food lovers.

The service at this restaurant was a bit rushed, possibly due to a busy Friday evening. Our table was the only one without a lit candle throughout our meal. We had to flag down the manager to take our order, as no waiters approached us. No one checked in on the quality of our food. My sirloin steak and fries were served without ketchup or mustard, and the steak itself was thin and lacked any sauce or gravy typical of French-style steak. The side vegetables were minimal and seemingly a cost-saving measure. I had to snack on cookies when I got home due to the undersized meal. The only red wine offered by the glass was a merlot, which was overpriced. Despite these drawbacks, the outdoor seating...

We were staying several nights at Kingston upon the Thames and walked along the riverfront one evening looking for someone to have dinner and decided to give Cote a try. It was early dinner, and not too busy. We choose an outside patio table as the weather was decent and had a nice view of the river and people walking by. Our server was fairly new, but did his best to take care of us, sometimes asking for help from others when he was not sure. Overall the service was quite good. We had french onion soup and capers for appetizer. Both tasty and served promptly. For mains we had the Chicken and Salmon, both quite delicious. For dessert the creme brulee and berries with ice cream. Towards the e... View menu
