Côte Restaurant Exeter

We booked online for our wedding anniversary and had a lovely lunch at the restaurant. The staff and food were excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal thank you.

We had an excellent meal. Our starters and main courses, sea bass and pan fried hike was deliciously cooked and served piping hot. We had a complimentary bottle of red wine this time. The service was excellent. The waitresses were very attentive and helpful. We had a wonderful evening. Thank you

Good food for a good price. Staff as always friendly and nothing to much trouble for them

Cote never fails to deliver - excellent food, excellent service. The pork belly is my personal favourite but the whole menu is hugely tempting. Lovely location. Thank you for another great meal!

I am a starch free diner for medical reasons which I made the restaurant aware of beforehand. Bread arrived with my starter and I was given no option of an alternative. We then waited an hour for our main course after our starter with no explanation. The food and atmosphere was really good when it arrived. It’s not the first time I’ve had issues with Cote delivering me food that has starch in it.

Waited AN HOUR for the food. The Salt Cod Croquettes, Breton Stew, and Roasted Cod are way too salty to the point where you need to drink water every 2 bites. Seafood quality was okay, but the amount of salt in each dish is just ridiculous. Had to wait another 15 minutes just to PAY for the food due to some software issue. Worst meal and service I've had in Exeter, not planning to go back ever again.

Great location, great food, great value for money. I have been on a number of occasions and always have a good experience. I would definitely recommend Côte in Exeter.

We had the fish parmentier which we have had before but this time were disappointed. It was not as piping hot as usual and had too many prawns which were a little hard. If it had been our first visit to Cote, we wouldnt have come back but as this was the first time we were disappointed, we probably will return but wont have that dish again.

Great breakfast this morning .Great service .Always enjoy my visits at this restaurant.

Excellent service and the food was lovely - both the pork, lamb and sea bass dishes were excellent.As ever the creme caramel was the star - worth the visit alone. Four very happy diners.

Lovely meal with attentive staff. Shame there was no beetroot and mackeral salad. And then no CREME CARAMEL!, which is probably one of my top reasons for visiting Cote haha. A nice evening even so.

I had a full English breakfast which was nice but it was only luke warm. My husband had poached egg on toast and that was the same. Also when we got there at 10am we had to wait 10 minutes before WE asked if we could order a drink.

Another amazing lunch 👍 at Cotê Exeter. We were greeted by several very friendly staff and the food was wonderful. Salmon rilette for starter and the most amazing seafood linguine for our main course. It was yummy 😋 👍 We’ll be back soon 🤗

As usual, great food, excellent service and very good value for money. Looking forward to our next visit to Cote, we use them all over the country and have never been other than pleased.

This is a great restaurant at any time of the day. I really like their premium set menu which I think is good value for money

A very pleasant lunchtime meal with your excellent staff and delicious food once again! Your blood orange Martini should be given an award🤗🤗 I wish I had taken the name of our waitress, because she was really top of her league.

Because it was my partner Susan's birthday I had asked Côte to do what they could to assist our celebration and earlier I dropped off an aromatic candle for our table. As we arrived Susan was surprised and delighted to see 2 glasses of Champagne on the table next to the Molton Brown candle that had already been lit for us. All the waiting staff were "on message" and our food arrived promptly and tasted delicious. Thank you to Daniel and his team for making us so welcome.

Lovely food but ordered a rare steak and it was medium at best. Couldn’t be bothered to return it etc. It was good but basic error for a twenty pound steak

Great as always. Efficient service. Food really tasty. Good range of courses including specials. Good ambience. Still one of my favourite places in Exeter. Like the offers.

Excellent staff & good atmosphere. Very friendly & efficient waiter. We really enjoyed our food & perfectly cooked & good wine choice. We will always return.

We visited to celebrate my daughter in law's Birthday . We had a very good meal from the set menu which we all thought was extremely good value. We were delighted with the unexpected glasses of fizz to toast the Birthday Girl. Well done Cote. a lovely evening had by all.

Consistently good, an authentic Parisien feel with tasty food prepared and served by well-trained professional people who really seem to care about what they are doing.

Simply EXCELLENT! Waiting staff are all characters and provide a polished and professional service. Food value beyond comparison...PLEASE OPEN A COTE IN TORBAY!!!

Food was excellent and great service. Also a lovely table upstairs overlooking the cathedral. I will definitely be back as there's so much more on the menu I'd like to try!

Starter was lovely, the chicken Breton not so good, dauphinois potatoes delicious. My dessert arrived cold - crepes with banana. Staff were lovely. Would like to know your policy on allocating tables. When we arrived we wanted to sit by the window but it was a table for 4 and were told no. Within 10 minutes another couple arrived who had not booked and were allocated this table???

Sadly we were booked for an evening meal, but had to cancel because of our friends illness, so the two of us rebooked for lunch. As always, lovely food, great service and excellent value. The consistency of Cote is extraordinary. we have never been disappointed at any of the many Cote restaurants we have visited. Thank you.

My partner and I have come to expect a high standard from Côte Exeter and we were not disappointed.

We visit Exeter about once a month and frequently use other branches of Cote when visiting friends and family. I think we must have been spoiled over the years and have come to expect a consistently high level of service, unfortunately on this visit it was somewhat lacking. I'm not sure if it was staffing levels but my husband had to ask on three occasions to be attended too. However, on a brighter note the food was as expected and excellent.

The whole experience was fantastic. I booked way in advance to get a Valentine's Day Table, but a week before someone from the restaurant called up to let me know that they would be doing a set menu. It was great to be kept informed so we didn't turn up expecting something else! The food was amazing as usual and all the staff were really attentive and professional. It was quite noisy but that was just the buzz of the atmosphere, it didn't cause any issues at all. If you want a slightly quieter evening you can always ask to be seated downstairs where it is a bit more chilled.

Food, service and ambiance was exceptional. This visit was a romantic meal for two. I can highly recommend the smoked salmon starter, fillet steak and tarte au citroen.

We had an excellent experience. The food was delicious, perfect portion size and very tasty. The service was attentive and friendly without being overbearing. I requested a window seat which we got.

Excellent lunch as always, lovely server. We will be back soon.

Great service always delicious food with a lovely choice, love it We just visited the one in Bristol and had the lovely Breakfast Complet it was so nice !

It was lovely, I come once a month with a friend and we always enjoy it.

We will definitely come again! Had the most delightful lunch.

I believe great staff make it in a restaurant and these guys were fantastic. Food and wine are superb, great atmosphere, very enjoyable, We'll be back....

Great food and a great atmosphere...and a magic trick for my son too! House white went do well too, thanks.

Excellent food and atmosphere, we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will be back.

Lovely restaurant. First time in Exeter one. Food was good. There was no chocolate mousse for dessert which I really wanted as it's so delicious. Wine is expensive.

Good food, friendly and efficient service. After an unfortunate visit on New Year’s Eve pleased to see that Cote Exeter was back on form. An excellent evening.

Lovely experience beautiful food would visit Again , food cooked to perfection and staff excellent Setting by cathedral lovely would be even better when weather warms up

Always enjoy Exeter cotes 😀 never disappointed , staff are soooo nice Great gin aperitif this month, thank you cote rewards, really nice blended drink , see you again soon

A lovely setting, especially a window seat on the 1st floor, which we requested when booking. The service and the food, chosen from the set lunch menu, were faultless and excellent value, as was the wine. Thank you for a smashing lunch. We will be back.

Excellent service, table staff were spot on, a few hickups with orders but waiters could not do enough. Would recomend to anyone. Thankyou Cote for an enjoyable evening.

I enjoyed my main( steak) but my husband did not enjoy his bream. It was bland and could have done with sauce or flavouring of some sort.

An excellent birthday lunch enjoyed today by our party of five. Tempting menu, with good choice available,including vegetarian. Great friendly service. Excellent food. Restaurant busy, so noise level very high. Thank you.

Lovely food, excellent service by friendly staff, and a really good vibe any time we have visited. Can see why this restaurant is so busy. They also have a good selection of Aperitifs and wines.

The food was absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked, great choice of wine and very attentive and professional service from every member of the team - we will be back soon.

We eat here several times a month because it is consistently good. Tonight was an anomaly. There were issues with the food, specifically barely cooked fries, but mostly there were not enough staff present to cope with the required levels of service. This is no criticism of them, who were doing their very best with simply too much to keep on top of. There is clearly a management issue to look at here. The staff were not supported nor sufficient in number to maintain the usual standards.

Really good. Everyone in the party enjoyed the food and service
