What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners praise Cote Dorchester for its warm, buzzing atmosphere, top-notch service, and delicious, high-quality French cuisine. Highlights include mussels, steak frites, and excellent gluten-free options. However, some recent reviews note disappointment with menu changes, specifically regarding steak prices and the removal of long-time favorites.
"I'm a tad bias to this establishment as I love the food and atmosphere here. Although it's a chain restaurant , i still feel like an individual as a customer. The staff treat you really well and give you a personal experience. The menu pricing is at the higher end of the market but as a treat, I think it's worth it. For those on a tighter budget, they offer a set meal menu before 7pm. The morning breakfast menu is also quite good. The reason I pay a little more to eat here is because I feel satisfied with my entire dining experience. I'm not a fan of the 10% gratuity that's automatically added to your bill. I feel the customer should decide what the service is worth, not the company."

THE 30 BEST Restaurants in Dorchester
I had Poulet Breton Gratin and it was literally the best chicken I've ever eaten by far. Very tender and very moist, French trimmed, served in a delicious taragon chicken sauce. Its made me look at the menu again and I know I will return periodically to taste all the other dishes.
