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.
Amazing gluten free options. Fast service and the staff are happy to answer questions about allergens that are in the food. Very impressed and now our favourite place to order food from.
can’t believe how flavourful they made just chicken and rice! high praise for vegetable gyoza from my friend too and it was great to see lots of gluten free options available! definitely would come again, the courtyard seating is lovely in the sun and the staff were friendly.
Had afternoon tea, two versions one for me and a gluten free version for my other half, the food was very good apart from the gluten free scone, but they replaced it with an alternative option
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!

You have been amazing!
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.
Ate here yesterday afternoon. I am dairy and gluten free, which can cause a problem. Not here.. the food and service were excellent. The dairy and gluten free cheesecake was out of this world. Will definitely visit again when in York.
Anne was a fantastic server with great knowledge of the menus for my wife who is gluten intolerant, our drinks were kept topped up and the food was amazing. 🤩
Served by Emin today. Super attentive and friendly service. Great food options for gluten free, vegan, veggie and meat eaters. Cocktails are delicious. 5 stars.
Oh my! Found this as a new place to go and we will defo be back! What a cute cosey spot, and the food! Oh my the food was amazing!! Excellent for catering for Vegan, Vegetarian and Gluten prefrences! Amazing value for money, fantastic service especially by Ellie and the other 2 that served us 😀 great knowledge on the dietry requirements for my meal from Scott 😀 Thursday night deal was such value for money! Happy Date night! Thankyou😁
Love Burgsy's! Our go to for amazing Burgers! Great service, intimate dining. GLUTEN FREE BUNS!! (That taste so good!) I promise you will love it! (Frequent visitor to York from down south)
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!!
BEST BREAKFAST EVER! I am gluten free and vegetarian which is really difficult to cater for usually but Partisan absolutely smashed it! I had the most delicious breakfast full of flavour and bought a cake (from a choice of three GF options) on my way out! 😍 they also accommodated our booking for a group of 9 which was ideal!
This place did not disappoint! Im a big fan of BBQ food, so it's great to find a place that does it right! They even cater for coeliacs, which is brilliant! The BBQ pulled pork tasted amazing and the shake on the chips is delicious. I will be going back to try the trays, im looking forward to the ribs and wings. I highly recommend going here to sample some amazing BBQ food!
Great service & great food. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable especially the host who sat us. Had a separate gluten free menu which was great! Despite being a really busy Saturday the food and drinks arrived quickly and were incredible. Highly recommend and only ended up waiting in the queue for about 5 minutes - definitely worth a longer wait though.
First time eating here (but have seen their desserts on Deliveroo and been tempted for a while), lovely decor and plenty of tables. We arrived and seemed to be the only people there at first, which was fine, better than feeling crowded, Nisa was lovely and welcoming, and gave us the pick of anywhere we wanted to sit. I was given a thorough allergen guide, as I needed gluten free, to check against the menu and Nisa gave me a run down of all my options saying they can easily build plate to avoid anything with gluten too. I chose the American waffle with toppings as I love when places cater for gluten free on dishes you wouldn’t normally find gluten free… this was so delicious! My fiancé had a “croffle” dish as a mix between a croissant and a waffle sounded very his sort of thing.
Overall it was lovely food, good prices for the size of the dishes, pretty decor, very clean and tidy and Nisa was very helpful and friendly as our server. We will come again!

Great tasty food. Love that they have a separate gluten free menu. Connor who served us was professional & friendly. Had a lovely fun night with friends. Thank you.
Food was fantastic. Deep and original flavours to each dish. The dozas were light a fluffy the fossgate beef a 'must try' starter. My number one Indian restaurant from now on. Also had a very nice gluten free beer called maharaja which was light and refreshing the perfect accompanyment. The service was helpful and prompt.
absolutely sensational! Got off the train after an extremely long day and headed over for a snack, extremely friendly welcome 🤗 could do everything on the menu with a gluten free version and their garlic sauce is to DIE FOR!
visited this cafe around 11 a.m. on a Sunday and only had to wait five minutes to be seated! Their blueberry and lemon scones are hands down the best I’ve ever tasted. They offer a great variety of scones and cakes, with gluten-free options too, which was a nice touch. I’m still thinking about those scones! I also had the white chocolate matcha, which was fantastic and complemented the food perfectly. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. I’ll definitely be back!
Really nice little cafe. We popped in for coffee and breakfast. The gluten free and vegetarian options were great. Scrambled eggs on gluten free toast was very nice.
Beautiful terrace overlooking the river which was a great spot for an excellent roast on a Sunday. First gluten free yorkshire pudding our coeliac has ever had as well!
Stayed one night on way home from Scotland.
Room was comfortable with lovely appointed ensure.
Ate evening meal and they were very accommodating for my gluten free requirements with most dishes being able to modify.
Breakfast was excellent with even gluten free black pudding!
Staff were great, accommodated a party of 6, always busy and buzzing. They accommodate gluten free which is great (bake their own bread) - no hash browns unfortunately which is a little strange for a classic brunch spot. Don't expect anything flash, just good honest grub.
Very good gluten free options on all menus. We were staying at the hotel so had a breakfast as well as dinner. The food was excellent and they were able to cater very well to my gluten free diet.
The guy put depeche mode - just can’t get enough on the duke box. My son was wearing his Celtic top! Fantastic service 💚🍀🤍 HH!
I have coeliac disease, I feel great no reaction to this food.
Great spot, great atmosphere, lovely friendly staff. The food was delicious and I've been trying to find a really good coffee since leaving NZ, and this place definitely delivered. Thank you!
Also, lots of gluten free options, which is great as it can be hard to find.
Second time having an amazing afternoon tea delivered from Love to eat. The gluten free option is just as delicious and so much effort to give a variety of bread and cakes which is rare!
Lovely people to deal with , highly recommend
Really lovely little cafe. Excellently prepared food and sweet treats, including gluten free. Good coffee (I had a long black). And the service is really great.
Suited all our party, nut allergies, gluten intolerances, meat eaters and veggie preference. Sweets looked nice too but I didn't have room - too stuffed
What can I say? Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, incredible food with an exciting menu and huge portions and a reasonable price.Felt safe ordering GF food as staff very knowledgeable about cross contamination and there is a dedicated gluten free fryer and a separate gluten free menu. We ended up eating there three times during our stay in York and we will DEFINITELY be back!
