Côte Restaurant Exeter

Hadn’t found Cote until a few weeks ago. Now have been twice in as many weeks! Excellent service which wouldn’t be out of place in a 5 star Fitzrovia place. Lovely food at reasonable price. Easy to book, very welcoming.

we LOVE Cote Brasserie Exeter! it is like being in France. The food is superb, the staff charming, the atmosphere heavenly. We love it. Thank you.

Lovely experience Staff friendly and service was ok, but obviously a very busy time. Will definitely want to return again soon. Set menus very good value.

We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast. The staff are friendly and helpful without being pushy. The food was excellent and great value ok us for money.

Food and service were very good. However, having eaten previously at another branch, I booked the restaurant because it has a good value 3 course Prestige Set Menu which includes both meat and fish main course options, as my sister cannot eat fish. I was very disappointed that two of the six main courses were unavailable at 7.30pm " because it's a busy Easter holiday week" , with no alternative substitutions offered. We were therefore obliged to choose from the a la carte menu, (which also had unavailable options) and consequently paid much more than we had intended. I felt that the restaurant should have planned better for an obviously busy period and offered alternatives when they ran out. I will hesitate before eating at a Cote Brasserie restaurant again, as it marred an otherwise positive experience, which could have been easily remedied.

First class food first class service at reasonable prioe It is our default restaurant we never go elsewhere

There were five of us in our group. We each had a starter and a main, but you'd never knew it if you'd seen our plates at the end. Delicious! Too good to leave anything behind. The view, atmosphere and staff were all brilliant. Can't wait to go again.

The atmosphere and service was great, and people very friendly

We had a lovely time, staff at Cote are attentive and friendly, nice window table overlooking cathedral. Food was good as always, would have given more stars and a decent tip but not keen on the service charge being automatically taken.

We had a wonderful evening and an equally wonderful meal.

Super meal as usual but I don’t know why the Negroni wasn’t complementary as had been advertised?

Courteous staff, nice table by the window, overlooking the Cathedral. Fixed menu has small and delicious dishes with subtle flavours. Will definitely return!

Good food, attentive service and great value. Good cocktail offer. Always wort a visit.

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

Charming cote in a great position. We visited twice, breakfast each time. Had different choices each day, both were good. Friendly and efficient staff. Was our granddaughters first visit and she certainly intends to visit again with her university friends.

Good meals, pleasant service just right for mother's day.Got a nice window table.Coffee ina cafftiere as per the menu would have been better but not available.

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.

Another good night out with excellent food and service as normal.

Great choice for food in Exeter, one of the best. Great good, wine, service and excellent service. Have tried several things and the food is always excellent. Consistently good.

Ok food small portions nice staff nice venue wine to expensive could do with some complimentary bread on the table but over all a nice place to eat

Lovely food , we were a party of 7 and everyone was impressed with their food . It was noisy to hear , other than that it was a perfect evening .

The food is always delicious and the staff are helpful and welcoming. Only criticism is some child portion size breakfasts should be available.

We great a great early evening meal for my birthday. They put some thought into the pudding to make it special.

Lovely locations, fabulous food and very friendly helpful service, if a little too slow for our liking as the staff seemed to be stretched too thinly

Thoroughly enjoyed lunch with my daughter and grandson. Cote is everything that a good restaurant should be - food, service - brilliant! I live down in Cornwall and don't get to go to Exeter too often. This is our second time at Cote, but it certainly won't be the last.

Great staff very friendly but food this time was not great we do has meal often in it's great but this time food let's us down

Exceptional in every way. We were particularly impressed by the warm welcome given to all three of us and with the splendid service from our Argentinian waitresss. Well done

We had breakfast at Exeter Cote overlooking the Cathedral Green on a beautiful morning, the service, food, atmosphere and value for money was as usual top notch.

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.

Great service , lovely food !very good price for set menu . It was a great of choice of food . Will definitely come back. Thanks

Excellent food with very fair prices for the prestige menu. Service ok We asked to be upstairs in the online reservation and we were placed downstairs.

Lively atmosphere, and great food. The Tarte citron was fabulous, and the meat excellently cooked. Can also recommend the fish stew, lovely. This is a popular restaurant in Exeter even on a wet rainy weekend mid February we struggled to get a table with a weeks notice. Only negative is that everyone was enjoying themselves so much it was quite loud....

Highly recommend, great atmosphere and food and very polite staff.

Lovely staff, very attentive. Great views of the Catherdral! Just disappointed to find out the swordfish wasn’t on after we had received our starters and wine order. Would have rethought

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.

Cote Brasserie is my default restaurant whenever I am out with friends in Exeter as I know that it will not disappoint. I have always found the food to be superb and sensibly priced, the service is extremely good and of course, what a splendid location.

My husband and I went for dinner on Saturday night for a belated Valentines Day meal. They were still offering the Valentines set menu so we decided to go for the three course option with wine match. My husband had the goat cheese starter and the duck for mains, which he really enjoyed, and I had the prawn starter and the haddock for mains. We shared the dessert platter. Unfortunately my fish was over cooked, over seasoned (it was so peppery it made my mouth burn) and the sauce was non-existent. I didn't finish it as it was rather unpleasant to eat. When asked how everything was with our meals, I did say that my fish was rather dry, which was met with a rather bored response of 'I'll talk to my manager'. Said manager never appeared, an apology was never offered and I was left with a rather bitter (as well as peppery!) taste in my mouth. The waitress clearing the table could see that I had only eaten half my main, but she didn't ask why. I know they were busy as it was the Saturday night after Valentines Day, but that's no excuse for poorly cooked food and harried service. If my complaint had been dealt with (apology offered, perhaps offered a new main or comped bill) then my review would have been more positive. This is our local Cote and it is usually much better than this. I guess the lesson learnt is not to go when it's busy!

Had a lovely meal 1st class service, which complemented the lovely food, thank you so much, we look forward to returning in the near future

The food was superb. We had the Chateaubriand. Expensive but the quality of it lived up to the price. Deserts were giod and the waiters were very attentive.

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.

Welcomed at the door. Taken to our table. Good service all the way through. Lovely food and a nice atmosphere. Would recommend for a nice adult dining experience.

Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Noise levels make it hard to hear some conversations but overall a great place. Food was exemplary and well worth a visit. Thank you.

Consistently good service. The staff are an absolute joy. Beautifully located. The food and wine are both excellent. We have been twice in a week and were not disappointed. Very good value.

regular but infrequent diner whenever we come to Exeter. we always choose Cote upstairs. Service always good and my wife is Coeliac and they can always provide suitable glutenfree food choices.

Great Food and Services. Like the chocolate mousse. 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.

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.

This is an amazing restaurant. The staff are friendly and helpful explaining dishes if needed or trying to accommodate any allergy. The food itself never fails to impress absolutely every dish is superb and I think I may have tried everything on the menu by now. The view and ambiance wonderful. The price, well you get what you pay for and I think it’s worth every penny.

Lively and comfortable. Swift and friendly service. Very good food, generous portions and well cooked and presented. good range of choice on menu. Very reasonable for the price.

Lovely staff & food, always a great experience, thank hour
