Côte Restaurant Exeter

Very pleasant and attentive staff. We weren't in a hurry to leave and we didn't feel rushed which was lovely. Quality of food was as usual- delicious. All in all a lovely dining experience. Thank you!

If only all meals out were as good as this. But I have to say more, but what more can I say apart from good night sweet prince

Excellent food and service as always. Will definitely be going back regularly for a relaxing and easy meal with the family. Staff are very accommodating and friendly nothing is ever a problem.

Good service and very nice food - always an enjoyable experience. Pleasant, helpful, friendly staff who are always happy to please. Set menu always interesting too - makes you try new things. Profiteroles are a MUST!

Sat upstairs on a lovely table by window with great view of the Cathedral. Excellent service made us feel very welcome and looked after, with nice touches.

Steak, although saying "served pink" was overcooked on 3 attempts. As my husband had nearly finished his meal I kept the third offering. To be fair the manager didn't charge us and because of this I would go there again. Just not order the steak.

Good food and professional, friendly service, as we have come to expect from Cote in Exeter. The staff were aware of every aspect of our reservation, including pre-arranged drinks. We will definitely be returning.

Excellent service, despite being busy. Food very good but would be so much better if veg or salad was included with the meal instead of having to ordered as a separate side order, which makes prices deceptive.

Excellent food and service. It was a really relaxed atmosphere. We were seated by the window with lovely views of the Cathedral Green and the evening sunshine.

Great food, good service, lovely atmosphere (ask for a window table on the 1st floor - lovely view of the cathedral). We have been there many times and it is consistently good

As always a good experience, the staff are very professional and friendly not only in Exeter but all other of your restaurants we have visited. The food (great to have Veal back on the menu) was very well presented and as always the meal was of consistent quality.

The staff are excellent. I love the fact that I requested a table with a view of the cathedral and got it! No worries! Proper big linen napkins, not tiny pieces of white paper wrapped around a knife and fork. Luxury. Prices amazing! An excellent experience!

The food was good and the table great - by the window - thanks guys - but we had to nudge on that as the maitre d didn't seem to understand I had made a reservation and requested it - maybe be a bit more on the ball on this sort of thing, being in the hospitality industry myself it is always a win and take it where you can Thanks D

The meal we had at Cotes was up to its usual high standard, The service we received was efficient and friendly ,we shall look forward to our next visit to Cotes.

Had to wait by the door for several minutes for a specific person to walk us to our table. There was no point to this as we didn't see him for the rest of the meal. Asked for Medium to Rare Steak, came almost Well done and was a bit chewy. Quite a wait between courses and when we had finished and table cleared, we were waiting at least 15 minutes before I had to call someone over to ask for the bill. Once we had the bill, we then had to call someone over to pay after another 10-15 minute wait. One thing that annoyed us most was the noise level of two different birthday groups, however this is not taken into account on my score as this is not necessarily in the staff's control. Was impressed with the Calamari and quite a substantial amount for a starter (This is by no means a criticism)! Overall, excluding the Steak, the food was okay, was let down by service.

We think the Cote is the best place to eat in Exeter and we go there most weeks Excellent Staff and Yummy food!Always welcome...Such a lovely setting too!

My husband and I very much enjoyed our meal at the Cote in Exeter today. Food and wine were excellent value. Our only criticism, as always, is the noise level - it is almost impossible to have a conversation. We booked for a late lunch (1.30 pm) but it was still very busy. Of course, that is a good sign!!!

Nice meal, busy restaurant but still managed to provide us with good service and quality food, I can definitely recommend this restaurant, chose the set menu which I think is good value.

Excellent as always with friendly and attentive staff. Great for brunch with a range of offers. Food is always well presented, tasty and good value.

Unfortunately the staff didn't really listen to the order and the wrong breakfast and type of coffee arrived! What we did get however was delicious and we enjoyed it. Some kind of communication problem obviously!

Great food & good value. Room looks inviting & has a real French brasserie feel. Views of Cathedral are great. Unfortunately, the whole experience was spoilt by the sound level. The upstairs room was very busy and it was so noisy our group of three found it hard to hear what each other was saying, which really detracted from the enjoyment of the evening. They'd improve the sound by carpeting the floor. We'd only go back on a quiet day/time.

Great atmosphere in the restaurant and the food was amazing and such great value on the early bird deal, would definitely return as soon as we can.

My wife and I have been to this restaurant many times and it hasn't failed us yet the meals are delicious and you can't fault the service.This restaurant is in an ideal and picturest location.

Great and attentive service, well cooked food, lovely location. Only issue was the noise level of the restaurant was very high, but that was everyone else there, not the restaurant's fault!

We had booked for an early meal before a concert in the cathedral. It coincided with the final graduation day, the end of the the school term and was a Friday. The restaurant was packed and we were a little late due to traffic problems, but the staff could not have been more friendly, helpful and keen to ensure we were served quickly, without being rushed. The food was very good, with enough choice for everyone to enjoy both the starter and main. We had a table upstairs and the only downside was it was very, very noisy. In every other respect this was a very good experience and we would certainly go back.

Great food and very good staff as always at Exeter very full upstairs but no issues with the service. Complmenty Kia royal very good too !

We love this restaurant and the happy helpful staff, we have dined at Cote Exeter for some time now and it never disappoints. Already looking forward to our next visit :-)

Love the food.Its always reliably tasty and served hot. Minor quibble was the noise level. It was a busy lunchtime but what a din. We could barely hear each other !

We had to move tables because of another reservation at 12noon. Food was excellent as was the service. Would certainly go again in the near future.

excellent service excellent food. the staff always pleasant. a long way down to the toilets and back again .nicest coffee we have had for a while.

We enjoyed the excellent value "Formule" breakfast menu. The full English breakfast was high quality with very tasty bacon and sausage. Scrambled eggs cooked beautifully. With fruit juice and hot drink included it is very well priced at £9.95. Staff were very polite and helpful.

Set lunch very good, as was the service. Watch for the compulsory 12.5% gratuity on the bill as we nearly tipped again. Shame this was not optional as it's better for both sides to have the choice and reward freely.

as usual, excellent food and service, what more can I ask for? only problem can be ambient noise level, with no sound deadening material and hard surfaces.

Excellent service and meal. Highly recommended. Very busy for time of day which is always a good sign. Cote Exeter seems to retain their staff so you always have a great time.

Well looked after with an excellent view of the Cathedral green .The service was efficient and there was informed advice about the menu. A very pleasant evening.

lovely evening here again! cannot fault the food or staff. everyone greets you with a smile. food is so tasty and steak was perfectly cooked and tender.!! highly recommend!!

We hadn't visited a Cote Brasserie before but definitely will do so again. The whole experience was pleasurable, with views over the Cathedral, lovely food and an excellent French host. The price wasn't too bad either. Great meal had by all.

Great service all round. Staff happy and very welcoming. Breakfast is superb and worth the price. Lovely atmosphere. Will 100% return again very soon. Well deserved 6*

As always Cotes delivers. Fantastic meal and exemplary service. Despite a very busy evening there was no waiting and all in a great setting. We love it here and can't wait to return.

We celebrated our daughter's graduation and were delighted to have an upstairs table with an excellent cathedral view. Service was friendly and attentive and the quality of the food was up to the usual high standard. The food was beautifully presented and generous portions. The restaurant atmosphere created a lovely celebratory experience.
