Brasserie Centrale in Cardiff

Not my favourite Cardiff restaurant, I'm afraid. The staff (and service) were superb - no complaints there. I just felt that the restaurant lacked ambiance as the tables were crammed too closely together which made it seem as though we were almost sitting on other peoples laps. The portion sizes were quite small, too, and I didn't find our starters or desserts very flavoursome; though the mains were nice.

Dined here with a large group and the service was fantastic - very accommodating and efficient. Food was also great

We visited Cote last Thursday. It was the first time in quite a few years that we had been here. I must admit that I was delighted with the experience! There was a concert being held in the Principality stadium that evening, and as a result, the City centre was very busy indeed. We were fortunate though, and a very courteous and polite member of staff found us a table. The food was excellent ,the wine was also of a superb standard, and reasonably priced for the type of establishment and location. I recommend the White bait,it was superb!! Altogether, a very pleasant lunch. I am not a fan of service charges, but on this occasion,I was happy to pay it. They had found us a table, without a booking, on what was an incredibly busy day for them,and the staff were friendly, courteous and polite. I look forward to calling in again on my next trip to Cardiff. Highly recommended!

I used to go to cote two years ago just for the onion soup. I visited this year and i wasn’t disappointed at all. This is still the best french onion soup i’ve had in Cardiff. The restaurant is comfortable. The staff are nice and helpful. The fresh orange juice was refreshing and of course the french onion soup was splendid. Great overall experience.

The interior of the restaurant is very classy, cosy and well presented. The food was absolutely outstanding but unfortunately service staff very unexperienced or very new . The ordering process went very smooth and quick. The food came out in few minutes was fantastic. Each time we wanted additional drinks we had to look for attention as no one was checking if we need anything or if ourmeal are ok . Two of us ordered flat white coffees which were only warm and very weak, more like small size lattes. We asked for them to be changed for stronger we received back the same dirty mugs with only added extra coffee shot in them. At this point we didnt even know which coffee is whos as they been both a bit drinked . All our table was a table hospitality managers and we were truly amazed of poor quality of service in such a nice place . On the end our boss wanted to say thank you and how much we enjoyed the food to the waitress but she basically ingored him with quick and cold " thanks " . Its such a shame as the place look beautiful and we all enjoyed our meals but we won't be back in a hurry due to the service issues .

My boyfriend and I went to Cote for dinner on valentine's day. Every staff member we came across was incredibly friendly, professional and helpful. The food was delicious! Our bill did include quite a steep service charge but this was optional. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would definitely dine at Cote again.

Lovely food. Excellent wine list. Highly recommended.

A chic experience with a super friendly service. Everything was so clean, the drinks and meals we received was absolutely divine! Anybody who just os looking for that French feel you must visit this beautiful place 💗

Such a wonderful restaurant! I went there with some friends for my 21st birthday, and we enjoyed such a tasty meal! The staff was also very nice to us. The only thing i can “complain” about is that we were a tad packed on our table, and the restaurant was so so full! But apart from that, it was a great experience!!!

Nice food, but a tad pricey. £16.50 for this dish, and a 12.5% service charge was automatically added to the bill.The staff were all nice, though.I did discover that Potato Jus is a posh term for mash.
